Error adding geofences in Android (status code 1000)

Question

I am getting an error in the onAddGeofencesResult(int statusCode, String[] geofenceRequestIds) callback with statusCode = 1000.

I have my GP

Answer 1

You get GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE (code '1000') when user disagrees to "Use Google' location services" in Settings->Location->Mode:

To fix it:

• go to Settings->Location->Mode
  
• set "Device only (Use GPS to determine your location)"
• set any other option to get the popup (e.g. "High accuracy (Use GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine location")
• dialog ""Use Google' location services" is shown
• choose "Agree"
