I check if the platform is Android by doing if(app.android) using import * as app from "tns-core-modules/application"; then I request location permission by doing permissions.requestPermission(android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, "") this is all fine. But then when I call geolocation.getCurrentLocation it gives an error saying “cannot enable location services” when i put the mobile in airplane mode or disabled mobile data/wifi. I need the geolocation to work offline and it should be getting the location viw the GPS signal and NOT internet right??

Is there any code involved?

The addition to the app.gradle file solved the problem. Thanks!!

You may need to modify the following file if the Android version is 6.0+

app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle file:

android {
// other stuff here

project.ext { googlePlayServicesVersion = “11.2.+” } }

This got my geolocation to work as I had trouble before with it not working at all.
