I am trying to use the GeoLocation Service - I have set the request parameters as follows :-
maximumAge: 60000
timeout: 5000
enableHighAccuracy: true
watchPosition: true

If you invoke the service indoors (no satellites available) or with the GPS function on the device switched off you never receive the error event which should arrive after 'timeout' has expired.
If you use :-
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(onSuccess, onError,{ maximumAge: 60000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true });

then you get the appropriate error raised.

Hello Kevin,

You need to set the handler of event "fail" for geolocation_service like to REST services yourself: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

Evgene,
Sorry perhaps I didn't explain what I meant properly.
The 'fail' event will fire as in your link but how do you find the reason for the failure eg GPS switched off or no satellite?

Kevin,

Yes, for handler on event "fail" no options are passed, so there is no opportunity to clarify the details, but you can use the event "complete" in its handler parameters are passed.

Evgene,
Could you give an example how to access the parameters as 'textStatus' shows as 'undefined'
Thanks,
Kevin

Any update?

Hi Kevin,

Unfortunately, not yet. Working on it.

OK thanks.

Hello Kevin,

It was misconception, sorry for this. You do can get detailed information in the handler of event "fail". Despite the fact that in the UI builder you can't see passed parameters, you still have access to three parameters jqXHR, textStatus and errorThrown. They contain details of the error.

Thanks, I'll try it.
