Try to enable your Location Permission on your Android Device.

Work for me. Thanks

Hey andiwawank, Yes, If I manually enable location, I will be able to fetch it through code. If the location is not enabled I will not be able to get the location. But it should invoke and turn on the location if its not enabled right? Thanks.

Hi @prajna-h

To request access to location, you can using PermissionsAndroid API and add the following line to your app's AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

useEffect(() => {
    const requestLocationPermission = async () => {
        try {
            const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
                PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,{
                    'title': 'Location Access Required',
                    'message': 'This App needs to Access your location'
                }
            )
            if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
                //To Check, If Permission is granted
                setGrantedPermission(true)
                this._getCurrentLocation();
            } else {
                alert("Permission Denied");
            }
        } catch (err) {
                alert("err",err);
        }
    }
    requestLocationPermission();
}, [isGranted])

Thanks

I am already using Permission Android. Still unable to get the location. :(

@prajna-h did you find a solution?

[fvilar]

I was having the same issue 5 min ago, just add this to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

[webhibegit]

I enable GPS and added this
"android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"
in manifest and requested for permission and still i am getting this
{ "PERMISSION_DENIED": 1, "POSITION_UNAVILABLE":2, "TIMEOUT": 3, "code" 2, "message": "No location provider available."}

react: 16.13.1
react-native: 0.6.3.0

@react-native-community/geolocation: ^2.0.2

Location is not working on these devices where it's working other devices as well .

1. hawaii p8 lite android Version 5
2. hawaii y7 prime

Permission

React Native and lib version
"@react-native-community/geolocation": "^2.0.2",
"react-native": "0.62.2",

[ZainaliSyed]

same issue android device have already permission 'android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION'

Solution
It's working on all devices with LIBRARY : react-native-geolocation-service

DONOT USE : @react-native-community/geolocation

[raazatul7]

The problem while using @react-native-community/geolocation is that if the GPS is not turned on manually it won't as for it (only ask for location permission not to turn on the GPS) and when we as enable it manually it says location request timeout.
While using react-native-geolocation-service it won't ask for location permission which should be the first step, else part is working fine in this library.

Any help will be appreciated.

You are right bro. Its already written in MD file. We should use newer react-native-geolocation-service

[abhishrek]

I was also getting this same error.
I realised that my Phone GPS was OFF. Once i turned it ON the error went away and it returned my current location.

@ZainaliSyed -- terrible advice.

Any android phone that doesn't have google play (i.e. any phone in China) will not work with react-native-geolocation-service, so no it doesn't work on all devices.
