Android POSTing previous locations with new location

[doorty]

I'm testing on a Samsung Galaxy S5 in Genymotion. Whenever I set the GPS to a new location (far enough outside the stationary radius), I get multiple HTTP POSTs with all the previous locations.

1) 1st location change: 1 HTTP POST 2) 2nd location change: 2 HTTP POST 3) 3rd location change: 3 HTTP POST

Here are the results after 3 location changes:

Is your server receiving and responding with http 200 to those POST?

Any response other than 200 will not remove the location from SQLite. The plugin will continue attempting to sync all recorded locations.

Once 200 is received, location is deleted from SQLite.

Oh, it's returning 201.

The plugin should have been written to accept a 200-ish response but it's clearly not.
