## Description
I have been trying to get cordova-plugin-geolocation to work on android. The permissions to use geolocation were not being asked when the program was run.
One has to use cordova.plugins.diagnostic plugin to ask for those permissions. Here is an example how to do it. Sorry for messy post, I am just exhausted and don't want others to be as lost as I was
CLI
[code]cordova plugin add cordova.plugins.diagnostic[/code]

Closing because unfortunately we use issues to track issues, not to track solutions...
But I'll provide some insight for those who come across this post.
Cordova geolocation plugin should request permission on the first time either `watchPosition` or `getCurrentPosition` is called. It doesn't necessarily request permissions when the application launches (and doing so may break some design rules). If the application has already been prompted and the user denied the prompt, then the system may automatically reject further permission requests. On iOS, denying a permission is always treated as a `DENIED_ALWAYS`, whereas Android as a checkbox giving the user a choice of always deny further permission requests.
Nonetheless, I personally like using the diagnostic plugin because it does gives you further control in managing permissions and also what I use in my apps instead of relying on Cordova's basic permission implementation.
