Using geolocation in Android Service, Location doesn't update but horizontal + verticalAccuracy increasing

[liamcharmer]

Happening on Android.

I have an example of using an android service. I wish to get the location when the app is minimised. Which the service itself is now working. However when i console log the location. The lng+lat is staying the same, but the horizontalAccuracy & verticalAccuracy is slowly increasing.

I have set the permissions to always allow for location.

export const CONTINUOUS_SERVICE_CLASSNAME =
  "bundle";

import { CoreTypes } from "@nativescript/core";
const geolocation = require("@nativescript/geolocation");



android.app.Service.extend("bundle", {
  onBind() {
    return null;
  },

  onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    console.log("SERVICE CREATED");

    if (!this.timerId) {
      this.timerId = setInterval(async () => {
        // console.log("PING");
        let loc = await geolocation.getCurrentLocation({
          desiredAccuracy: CoreTypes.Accuracy.HIGH,
          maximumAge: 5000,
          timeout: 20000,
        });
        console.log(loc);
 

   
      }, 3000);
    }
  },

  onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId) {
    console.log("SERVICE STARTED");
 
    return android.app.Service.START_REDELIVER_INTENT;
  },

  onDestroy() {
    console.log("SERVICE DESTROYED");
    super.onDestroy();
    clearInterval(this.timerId);
  },
});
