Nativescript location is not working? - genymotion

Question

I am trying to get the current location of user(tried in genymotion and actual android device) but always getting an error of {"nativeException":{}}. I am testing it with gps enabled and my view model code is below to access the location
var observable = require("data/observable");
var locationModule = require("location");
var LocationManager = new locationModule.LocationManager();
var enums = require('ui/enums');
var MainViewModel = (function (_super) {
__extends(MainViewModel, _super);
function MainViewModel() {
_super.call(this);
}
MainViewModel.prototype.signIn = function () {
//alert("Me");
alert(JSON.stringify(LocationManager));
alert(JSON.stringify(enums.Accuracy));
var locationOptions = {
desiredAccuracy: enums.Accuracy.high,
updateDistance: 0,
minimumUpdateTime: 5000,
maximumAge: 20000
};
LocationManager.startLocationMonitoring(function (location) {
console.log("Location received: " + location);
alert(JSON.stringify(location));
}, function (error) {
alert("Location error received");
alert(JSON.stringify(error));
}, locationOptions);
};
return MainViewModel;
})(observable.Observable);
exports.MainViewModel = MainViewModel;
exports.mainViewModel = new MainViewModel();
This is my AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

My bet would be that you haven't set the permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml (in NativeScript 1.3.0: platforms/android/src/main).
You want to have a line looking like this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
