:large_blue_diamond: [Ionic 3] Cordova Background Geolocation — Demo
Fully-featured Ionic-based sample-application for Cordova Background Geolocation
:large_blue_diamond: Installation
Step 1: Start by cloning this repo
$ git clone https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-background-geolocation-SampleApp.git
Step 2: Building and Running the Ionic 3 App
$ npm install
$ npm install -g cordova ionic # you should have ionic and cordova installed
$ ionic cordova prepare android
$ ionic cordova run android --device
$ ionic cordova prepare ios
$ ionic cordova run ios --emulator
// opens a web console which receives all your locations
$ npm run open
The quickest way to see the plugin in-action is to boot the iOS simulator and simulate location with Freeway Drive.
The demo is composed of three separate and indpendant sub-applications implemented as Ionic page-modules.
- Hello World
- Simple Map
- Advanced with complex settings screen and geofencing.
:large_blue_diamond: Tracking Server
The demo app is configured to post locations to Transistor Software's demo server, which hosts a web-application for visualizing and filtering your tracking on a map.
- After booting the app the first time, you'll be asked to enter a unique "Organization" (eg: your company name) and "Device ID" (eg: Github username) so the plugin can post locations to
tracker.transistorsoft.com
.
:warning: Make your organization and Device ID unique and known only to you — if every one uses "test", you'll never find your device!)
- You can view the plugin's tracking history by visiting http://tracker.transistorsoft.com/your-organization-name.
:large_blue_diamond: Debug Mode
The plugin has a debug
mode for field-testing. The plugin will emit sounds during its life-cycle events:
Event | iOS | Android |
---|---|---|
Exit stationary-region | Dee-do Dee-do...Dee-do Dee-do | n/a |
Location recorded | SMS-sent sound | "blip" |
Aggressive geolocation engaged | SIRI listening sound | "doodly-doo" |
Acquiring location | "tick, tick, tick" | dial-tone sound |
Stationary state | "bloom" | long "beeeeeeep" |
Geofence crossing | trumpets/fanfare | beep-beep-beep |
NOTE: In order for debug sounds to operate when the app is in background, you must enable the Audio and Airplay
Background Mode.
:large_blue_diamond: Adding Geofences
The Advanced app implements a longtap event on the map. Simply tap & hold the map to initiate adding a geofence.
