AAC SDK Sample App on Android does not get device location

I easily managed to compile and run the android sample app that is part of the AAC-SDK (here). I'm running on a Samsung Galaxy S9 (API26) and enabled the location feature of the phone.
Although the drawer in the sample app shows my location correctly, Alexa constantly replies that it doesn't know my current location saying "Please check the location settings on your device". What am I doing wrong here?

android sdk location services aac-sdk

There are a couple things you should check here.

First, on the Alexa companion app, you can go to Settings > Device Settings and then select the device associated with the Android Sample App. Then you can check if Location Services is set to On. Next, you can go to your phone's settings and check your app permissions, specifically for Sample App. Make sure that Sample App has the Location permissions granted.

After doing these steps, asking Alexa "Where am I" should get the desired response.
