geolocation.getCurrentPosition() not working in Android mobiles - ionic4

Question

geolocation.getCurrentPosition() is not working in Android mobiles, is this an Ionic bug? Or is there any better solution to achieve this?
ngOnInit() {
this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition().then((resp) => {
}).catch((error) => {
console.log('Error getting location', error);
});
let watch = this.geolocation.watchPosition();
watch.subscribe((data) => {
this.data = data;
this.currentLat = data.coords.latitude;
this.currentLng = data.coords.longitude;
this.accuracy = data.coords.accuracy;
});
}

Answer 1

I had this issue once and was able to solve it by enabling High Accuracy GPS on the mobile device.
You can use the Location Accuracy Plugin
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/location-accuracy
to activate high accuracy mode when loading the application
import { LocationAccuracy } from '#ionic-native/location-accuracy/ngx';
constructor(private locationAccuracy: LocationAccuracy) { }
...
this.locationAccuracy.canRequest().then((canRequest: boolean) => {
if(canRequest) {
this.locationAccuracy.request(this.locationAccuracy.REQUEST_PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY).then(
() => console.log('Request successful'),
error => console.log('Error requesting location permissions', error)
);
}
});
or you can simply pass
this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition({ enableHighAccuracy : true, timeout: 10000 } )

Try setting the next values in the variable options
import { Geolocation, Geoposition } from '../../node_modules/#ionic-native/geolocation';
constructor(private geolocation: Geolocation)
...
var options = {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
timeout: 5000,
maximumAge: 0
};
this.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(options)
.then((result: Geoposition) => {
console.log(result)
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error)
})
});
