React Native : react-native-geolocation

Question

I need to fetching location in react-native. I used @react-native-community/geolocation. When getCurrentPosition we have option enableHighAccuracy.

My problem is when I run my app in android emulator it must change to enableHighAccuracy: true.

But when I run on device it not working and must be change to enableHighAccuracy : false

This is example of my code :

const callLocation = () => {
    setLoading(true);
    Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(position => {
      const { longitude, latitude } = position.coords
      setLoading(false);
      setRegion({ ...region, latitude, longitude });
    },
      error => console.log(error.message),
      { 
        timeout: 20000, 
        enableHighAccuracy: true, // must change to false when run on device
        maximumAge: 1000 },
    );
  }

Maybe you have the same problem with me, I appreciate a lot about your help.

Answer 1

Finally I solved this problem with storing enableHighAccuracy to state, so whenever the value for instance false is not working I update the value to true and vice versa.

const [enableHighAccuracy, setEnableHighAccuracy] = useState(true); // my state

const callLocation = () => {
    setLoading(true);
    Geolocation.getCurrentPosition(position => {
      const { longitude, latitude } = position.coords
      setLoading(false);
      setRegion({ ...region, latitude, longitude });
    },
      error => {
       setEnableHighAccuracy(!enableHighAccuracy); // change when error
       console.log(error.message)
      },
      { 
        timeout: 20000, 
        enableHighAccuracy, // apply the state to this
        maximumAge: 1000 },
    );
  }
