Location tracking doesn't work

[yperess]

Platform: Android 7.1.2 on Nexus 5x
Mapbox SDK version: 5.0.0-beta.3

Steps to trigger behavior

1. Download the Mapbox Dev Preview App
2. Navigate to the "User location" page
3. Open the "Track user location" demo

Expected behavior

The my location marker should be visible and the map should follow it

Actual behavior

I find myself in the middle of Africa (I'm not actually there)

beta.3 hasn't been published yet, see this PR here, feel free to create issues for the demo on that repo. The mentioned issue should be fixed with #8255. Thank you for reaching out, closing this as already resolved.

That's strange, I filed this because on my app I tried using beta 3 (which Gradle resolved) and for about 5 hours couldn't get tracking to work. If I set a breaking point on MyLocationView's setter for the location I only see it get called as a result of it registering itself as a listener to the LocationEngine. No follow-up location updates come in. I replicate it by doing the same thing, getting an instance of the LocationEngine from LocationSource, activating it in onCreate, then adding/removing an update listener in onResume/onPause respectively. What I see is that I get 2 calls to the listener when I set it, then never again. This was the same in beta 2 and is consistent with what I see in the demo app.

Thank you for adding that information,
let me try reproducing this use-case,
thanks again for taking time to report this issue!

Confirmed that we only receive Last Known Location and do not receive any follow up events. Adding this to the milestone to be fixed before final release.

Been debugging this on the SDK side and even after specifically requesting for location updates we are not receiving them. I tested the LocationEngine feature in mapbox-java and seeing the same behavior there. Going to create an issue upstream.

Issue created upstream in mapbox/mapbox-java#392

Nice! Will this be in beta 4?

[tobrun]

this will be in the next release, merged with #8445

I never receive the onLocationChanged events when I change location. I copied and pasted the code from the example, I only get the lastLocation at the beginning. What could it be?
