allow geolocation

Hello,

I'm developing app on a mobile and I want to obtain the current location of the device

I used this code:

require(["esri/map", "esri/geometry/webMercatorUtils", "esri/geometry/Point"],function(Map, webMercatorUtils, Point){

   if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(zoomToLocation, locationError);
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(showLocation, locationError);
}

function zoomToLocation(location) {
   var pt = webMercatorUtils.geographicToWebMercator(new Point(location.coords.longitude, location.coords.latitude));
   // map.centerAndZoom(pt, 16);
}

function showLocation(location) {
if (location.coords.accuracy <= 500) {
go.alert('<=500');
} else {
go.alert('>500');
}
}

function locationError(error) {
switch (error.code) {
   case error.PERMISSION_DENIED:
go.alert("Location not provided");
   break;
   case error.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE:
go.alert("Current location not available");
   break;
   case error.TIMEOUT:
go.alert("Timeout");
   break;
   default:
go.alert("unknown error");
   break;
}
}
});

but it returned this error: error.PERMISSION_DENIED

which I think mean that geolocation is not enabled

How can I enable it and solve the problem???

Sounds like you will need to enable location services on the mobile device.

Here are instructions for Android:

thank you very much

I was mean enable it by programming

but I understood that the problem occurs because I run the app on simulator, but when I run it on real device it worked

thanks.
