User's loctaion coords is not updating while app is not running in memory about cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp HOT 15 CLOSED

If user closes app while stopOnTerminate: false, it's in Apple's hands to
re-awaken the app due to a cell tower change event. Typically 2-3 blocks
of travel the in typical urban environment but depends on the network
environment (i.e. Spacing of cell towers).

stopOnTerminate: false is all you need to do.

Try it in XCode sim.

Hi,

As I am facing, User's location is not updating via our service api while
app is not running in memory and user is moving from one block to another
block. Below code I have implemented so far. Could you please look into
once and let me know where I did wrong.

function startBackgroundGeoLocation()
{
var bgGeo = window.BackgroundGeolocation;

/**

• This callback will be executed every time a geolocation is recorded in the background.
  */
  var callbackFn = function(location, taskId) {

  /* Location object */
  $scope.updatedLocObj = {
  Latitude:location.coords.latitude,
  Longitude:location.coords.longitude
  }

  /* This is my service API call for update user's location */
  PublicServices.updateCurrentLocation($scope.updatedLocObj).then(function(resp) {
  bgGeo.finish(taskId);
  });
  };

var failureFn = function(error) {
//alert('BackgroundGeoLocation error');
}

// BackgroundGeoLocation is highly configurable.
bgGeo.configure(callbackFn, failureFn, {
// Geolocation config
desiredAccuracy: 0,
stationaryRadius: 50,
distanceFilter: 50,
disableElasticity: false, // <-- [iOS] Default is 'false'. Set true to disable speed-based distanceFilter elasticity
locationUpdateInterval: 5000,
minimumActivityRecognitionConfidence: 80, // 0-100%. Minimum activity-confidence for a state-change
fastestLocationUpdateInterval: 5000,
activityRecognitionInterval: 10000,
stopTimeout: 0,
activityType: 'AutomotiveNavigation',

// Application config
debug: false, // <-- enable this hear sounds for background-geolocation life-cycle.
forceReloadOnLocationChange: false,  // <-- [Android] If the user closes the app **while location-tracking is started** , reboot app when a new location is recorded (WARNING: possibly distruptive to user)
forceReloadOnMotionChange: false,    // <-- [Android] If the user closes the app **while location-tracking is started** , reboot app when device changes stationary-state (stationary->moving or vice-versa) --WARNING: possibly distruptive to user)
forceReloadOnGeofence: false,        // <-- [Android] If the user closes the app **while location-tracking is started** , reboot app when a geofence crossing occurs --WARNING: possibly distruptive to user)
stopOnTerminate: false,              // <-- [Android] Allow the background-service to run headless when user closes the app.
startOnBoot: true,                   // <-- [Android] Auto start background-service in headless mode when device is powered-up.

});

// Turn ON the background-geolocation system. The user will be tracked whenever they suspend the app.
bgGeo.start(); }

Please help me out. Thanks.

Ok. Means code settings is fine. And the server api call is well placed? And these code should be same for Android devices. Right?

Android performs much better in this respect. It is not affected by user
closing app (it runs as a background service, immune from user).

Yes. I have seen like when I am moving 2-3 blocks, Android device is automatically sounding. So that time callback will be executed and our server api as well?

You've purchased the Android version? You should be using the private repo
for questions.

Yes. I have purchased the Android version.

When you hear the tracking sound, the plugin has executed an HTTP request
(with autoSync: true and and #url to your server configured.)

Ok. But in above my code, I have mentioned our server api call in 'callbackFn' function. It is fine?
I am a bit confused here. I need to set below HTTP config as well :

   // HTTP  config
    url: 'http://posttestserver.com/post.php?dir=cordova-background-geolocation',
    method: 'POST',
    batchSync: true,     
    autoSync: true,       
    maxDaysToPersist: 1

And also 'url' parameter value should be our server api url instead of above?

Sorry for more questions. But please clear me.

Thanks

To send the location to your server, you have 2 options:

1. (Not recommended) Use JavaScript callback to receive the location and
   Manually post via Ajax.
2. (Recommended) allow the plugin to automatically post locations to your
   server using native http request. Simply configure an #url to your server
   as well as optional #params, #headers.

Great. I have implemented option 2. Defined the url, header and param as well.

Question is, My server HTTP request type is PUT. And request accepted JSON is {Latitude: 'any location lat', Longitude: 'any location long'}. I have added this JSON as a param. So when application is running, it is updating the locations to server. Fine. But app is not running in memory then how plugin will call HTTP request with this JSON?(With updated Latitude and Longitude). Means how plugin will communicate with my param object? see below HTTP config:

           // HTTP config
            url: 'test.testadmin.com/location',
            method: 'PUT',
            batchSync: false,     
            autoSync: true,
            maxDaysToPersist: 1, 
            headers: {
            "hk-AuthToken":'egt4573647fdcdf6h5j6h5'
            },
            params: {Latitude: '23.6565', Longitude: 45.56565'}

And background call would be depend of cell towers change event. Means a device without sim will not able update location to server. Correct?

Thanks

Why are you adding Latitude, Longitude to params?? That's not what params are for. Do not do this. The plugin automatically appends the location-data to the HTTP request using the following Location Schema:

You MUST reconfigure your server to consume this schema:

{
    "location": {
        "coords": {
            "latitude":   [Float],
            "longitude":  [Float]
            "accuracy":   [Float]
            "speed":      [Float],
            "heading":    [Float],
            "altitude":   [Float]
        },
        "extras": {   // <-- optional extras.  @see #getCurrentPosition for details
            "foo": "bar"
        },
        "activity": {
            "type": [still|on_foot|walking|running|in_vehicle|on_bicycle],
            "confidence": [0-100%]
        },
        "geofence": {  // <-- Present only if a geofence was triggered at this location
            "identifier": [String],
            "action": [String ENTER|EXIT]            
        },
        "battery": {
            "level": [Float],
            "is_charging": [Boolean]
        },
        "timestamp": [ISO-8601 UTC], // eg:  "2015-05-05T04:31:54.123Z"
        "uuid":      [String],       // <-- Universally unique identifier
        "is_moving": [Boolean],      // <-- The motion-state when location was recorded.
        "is_heartbeat: [Boolean]     // <-- If this location was recorded during heartbeat mode.
    }
}

This plugin runs as a Background Service, unaffected by teh user closing the app (with stopOnTerminate: false. It will continue to send locations to your server.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

As for HTTP method, the plugin has a config param method which you can set to PUT. You will do yourself a favour to quickly spend 2 minutes and simply read every available configuration option.

EDIT: Sorry, I see you did in fact set method: 'PUT'.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Thanks Chris. Means no need to set any param from my side. Only just need to reconfigure data at my server side.

from cordova-background-geolocation-sampleapp.

Background service send data when app is running and when app terminate background service stop sendindg data... how it works all time

iOS or Android?
