Error Adding Geofence on Android 8

[rohit901]

I'm not being able to add Geofences in my android App, A similar question was asked here before: Error adding geofences in Android (status code 1000).
I have gone to Settings->Location and changed my location mode to High Accuracy as suggested in the above link and Tried adding the Geofences, still it gives me the Error. My Device is Oneplus 3T running on Android 8.0.

Also each time i change my Location Mode to High accuracy and if i Reboot my Device, surprisingly the location mode changes back again to "Device only" Mode.

I'm following this tutorial to implement Geofence: Android Location Proximity Alert

The logcat (stack trace) of the problem is shown:

Have you tried this?

I was getting the statusCode 1000 when i was trying to run this app on the emulator. The thing which fixed this was to go in Settings-> locations and access-> Check the enable wifi and gps option on the emulator and it will fix it

 

[rohit901]

Yeah, I run the app on my physical device and not the emulator itself, and yes I have changed the location settings by going into settings - >location and changed the mode to "high accuracy" which uses GPS mobile data and wifi to measure the location, it was at "Device only" before which only uses GPS to get the location and whenever I reboot or restart my device it changes back to "Device mode" again..

 

[rohit901]

umm guys the geofences seems to be adding in Non Oreo Devices, I tried on my friend's mobile which has Android 7 and it is adding on that so it seems to be a problem with my Android Oreo, Any suggestions on how I can fix it?

 

[AaronHirst]

Did you find a solution for this? I'm also trying to add geofences for an app but got the same error on my OnePlus 5t but works on a Samsung S7.

 

[rohit901]

Hey Aaron, Yes i found the workaround for this, it turns out to be the google location sharing dialog which is the main culprit in this, so this is how I fixed it , I went to Location->Mode->, and then changed the location mode to Battery Saver this time and not High accuracy, and I guess I kept clicking on it till I got the Google Location sharing alert dialog pop up which asked me whether I wanted to share the location data with Google to improve accuracy, I clicked on yes and after that I was able to add geofence without problem, so you could also clear the google location cache or google play service cache and also try clearing the cache of Google services framework, the trick here is to make the google alert dialog pop up which asks whether you want to share the location with google or not after that geofence starts working fine
