Geofencing from Android 8 (Oreo) only every few minutes

(1/1)

Admin:
Google has come up with the idea that geo-fencing from Android 8 (Oreo) only reports entering / leaving every few minutes.

See the following links:
- https://developer.android.com/training/location/geofencing#java under the paragraph Handle geofence transitions blue box and at the bottom Alerts can be late

--- Zitat ---Note: On Android 8.0 (API level 26) and higher, if an app is running in the background while monitoring a geofence, then the device responds to geofencing events every couple of minutes. To learn how to adapt your app to these response limits, see Background Location Limits.

--- Zitat ---Alerts can be late. The geofence service doesn't continuously query for location, so expect some latency when receiving alerts. Usually the latency is less than 2 minutes, even less when the device has been moving. If Background Location Limits are in effect, the latency is about 2-3 minutes on average. If the device has been stationary for a significant period of time, the latency may increase (up to 6 minutes).

--- Zitat ---The average responsiveness for a geofencing event is every couple of minutes or so.

Thus, the app is not really real-time compatible from Android 8, as before Android 8. That is also one of the reasons why I will not continue to maintain the app.
