Worklight 6.2.0.00-20120814-0824
Location code runs fine in Browser simulator but fails in Android emulator, neither success nor failure callbacks firing.
Logcat shows:
10-06 16:00:40.707: W/PluginManager(3193): THREAD WARNING: exec() call to WLGeolocationPlugin.getLocation blocked the main thread for 75ms. Plugin should use CordovaInterface.getThreadPool().
code:
var showPosition = function(position) {
WL.Logger.debug("got a position");
var latitude = Number(position.coords.latitude).toFixed(2);
var longitude = Number(position.coords.longitude).toFixed(2);
$("#currentLocation").text(latitude + " / " + longitude);
};
var positionError = function(err) {
WL.Logger.debug("failed to get a position");
$("#status").text("position error" + err);
};
var geoPolicy = WL.Device.Geo.Profiles.RoughTracking(); // other profiles tried, same result
WL.Device.Geo.acquirePosition(showPosition, positionError, geoPolicy);
Android manifest has
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>
Before I added those I had different error conditions, indicating permissions errors, so I think permissions are now correct.
-------edited to add more info ----
I have deployed to a real Android device but still get no callbacks fired. I do see these messages in LogCat, indicating that Worklight is doing something with gps, but not providing answers so far as my code is concerned

The answer seems to be that I need to specify a maximumAge option
var geoPolicy = WL.Device.Geo.Profiles.RoughTracking(); // other profiles tried, same result
geoPolicy.maximumAge = 5000;
WL.Device.Geo.acquirePosition(showPosition, positionError, geoPolicy);
The logs (shown above) indicate than an answer was obtained but discarded on the basis of its age. Seems like I need to specify maximumAge greater than the time taken to obtain a position.
