Only works in high accuracy mode?

[JCKodel]

On Android 5.1, when I disable the 📍 Location icon and re-enable, this dialog is displayed:

If I hit Agree, everything works fine. If I hit Disagree, error 100 (GPS and Network are disabled)

If you Disagree can you enable the location permissions directly within the application? I think that's how Android 5.1 works...it's been a long time since I've used that version.

Now it gives me a 140: Network provider is not available.

I'm requesting "all" providers. Disagree means only GPS, AFAIK, thus, with network "disagreed", the error 140 is issued (although I have GPS because Location is on).

Where those errors come from? Android or plugin's code?

I'm only interest in a coordinate. I don't really care where it come from (that's what accuracy property stands for). There should be no error issued if one of the providers gave me a coordinate =\

That error is from the plugin, it's telling you can't request data from all Android Location providers and then not have a network available.

Have you tried using just "providers": "gps"?

Here's the doc that explains the different options: https://github.com/Esri/cordova-plugin-advanced-geolocation#use-cases

More on that:

My settings are for providers: "some" (I was hoping that some means, give me something, please please please)

With Location off, it gives me a 140 (Network location requested but the provider is not available. Check system Location settings). Sometimes it gives me a 120 (but only sometimes)

With location on and I disagree to use network to improve my location, it gives me 140 (ok, I explicitly disagree to use network, so don't nag me with an error >.<).

I would expect that "some" would ignore the error for network provider not available and return me a location from gps provider.

What I'll try next is to instantiate 3 separate start(), one for each provider =\ Whoever answers me, I'm taking! Try to figure out the best option with accuracy, if it is set =\

[JCKodel]

"providers": "gps" works fine. (including caching the position - after the first result, I can disable location and still get a cached position).

I would just recommend to change the behavior of "providers": "some" to get all the providers that you can and, if more than one, decide wich by accuracy.

So, in case anyone having the same problem: use "gps" and be happy =P

Glad it worked. Good suggestion. I'm not planning on making any changes to this plugin in the near-term, however I always welcome pull requests 😉! I'll leave this issue open as an enhancement request.
