Is There A Limit To The Radius Of A Geofence In Android?

I develop an application that uses the Android Geofence API. Now I have the problem that, when the radius of the geofence is as large as 10 kilometers, it does not work, but when i

Solution 1:

The radius determines how large or small the circle is that is drawn around the geopoint. There is not a maximum limit for the size of the radius, however what I have found is that the entry or exit off a fence requires triggering to happen, so with larger (10 km) maybe you're not triggering the entry or exit.

You mention that 10 meters works, have you tried 100? 1000? I would test with increasing size and make sure you're logging your information as you test so you can determine if you are actually triggering the fence.
