Cordova getCurrentPosition() never returns

Question

My cordova version is 6.3.1, and I'm using cordova-plugin-geolocation 2.3.0.
Upon calling navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError), neither onSuccess or onError is ever fired.
I have also tried using the cordova-plugin-locationservices plugin which utilizes Google Play Services for obtaining user location, but to the same result.

Code is below, thank you in advance.

    setInterval(function(){
       cordova.plugins.locationServices.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) { /* cordova-plugin-locationservices */
       //navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) { /* cordova-plugin-geolocation */
          alert('Location determined');
          console.log(pos);
        }, function(err) {
          alert('code: ' + err.code + '\n message: ' + err.message);
        });
    },3000);

Answer 1

you have to give an option object with a timeout property, because if you don't, android device won't fire the error callback and so you won't see any error.

setInterval(function(){
       cordova.plugins.locationServices.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) { /* cordova-plugin-locationservices */
       //navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) { /* cordova-plugin-geolocation */
          alert('Location determined');
          console.log(pos);
        }, function(err) {
          alert('code: ' + err.code + '\n message: ' + err.message);
        }, { timeout: 5000} );
    },3000);
