Investigate mock location failures on Android #23

Closed andygup closed 7 years ago

andygup commented 7 years ago

When using a Trimble R1 high accuracy GPS via bluetooth I noticed that mock locations were being handled incorrectly by the WebView Geolocation API on Android 6.x and 7.x.

Problems included:

Only a single mock location was accepted at application startup. All other locations sent by the unit were ignored.
Only occasional mock locations were passed thru by the Geolocation API, many locations were being ignored.

Action items:

Investigate and open a Chromium bug if necessary.

Notes:

Direct access to the native location API via a plugin works just fine. Example: https://github.com/Esri/cordova-plugin-advanced-geolocation
