Phonegap Android Geolocation watchPosition timeout

Question

I am using Cordova 3.0.0, A Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.2 to test.

When I test the Phonegap full example for watching position : http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/cordova_g

Answer 1

Ok, so after hours of tests, I managed to make the watchPosition work on Android with Cordova 3.1.0 .

What you have to do: Use the html5 only api for geolocation and do not include this : http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.1.0/cordova_geolocation_geolocation.md.html#Geolocation

If you already have it in your projet, remove it via the CLI : cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.geolocation

Of course, keep those lines in your android manifest :

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

This is working for me, so tell me if its working for you. I will post code if you need ( but the cordova full example works for example )
