Cordova Compass Api Is Giving Error Code 3

This question is already asked on stackoverflow here but I didn't found any answer to it, so I raised again this. Please can anyone able reply for this? My code is as follows: <

Solution 1:

Either your device does not have a magnetic sensor, or the vendor has not implemented support for it in the OS.

Looking at the Android source code for the device-orientation plugin, the startup code is written like this (modified for brevity):

List<Sensor> list = this.sensorManager.getSensorList(Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION);

// If found, then register as listenerif (list != null)
    this.setStatus(CompassListener.STARTING);

// If error, then set status to errorelsethis.setStatus(CompassListener.ERROR_FAILED_TO_START);

Not sure why they made up their own error code there (public static int ERROR_FAILED_TO_START = 3), but really they should be reporting COMPASS_NOT_SUPPORTED as defined in the documentation.
