@josuelmm thank you it works but it doesnt give data when app is in background

[ivinantony]

Use this plugin https://github.com/HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin/

@mauron85 @josuelmm i used this plugin but when we allow the permission and after 2,3 second app is crashing in android. do you have any idea? and it doesn't work in background in android after 5 or 6 minutes too

[josuelmm]

I have this configuration

this.configBackground = {
      stopOnTerminate:false,
      locationProvider:2,
      desiredAccuracy: 0,
      stationaryRadius: 0,
      distanceFilter: 0,
      debug: false,
      interval:3000,
      fastestInterval:2000,
      notificationsEnabled:true,
      startForeground:false,
      notificationTitle:' ',
      notificationText:'Navegación activada',
      notificationIconColor: '#c50707',
      notificationIconLarge:'ic_tracking',
      notificationIconSmall:'ic_tracking',
    };    

Working excelent in background with the application minimized...

Request permission of ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION before permission location
Use the plugin https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/android-permissions

[ivinantony]

thank you so much @josuelmm i will try this.

[josuelmm]

this.androidPermissions.requestPermission('android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION') .then(result => { if (!result.hasPermission){ this.permissionActivity = false; }else{ this.permissionActivity = true; } }) .catch(err=>{ this.permissionActivity = false; });

[ivinantony]

@josuelmm does it works for you in ios too? for me it works for a 5 minutes in ios and android almost 1 hour. after that this plugin also goes sleep.can i see the way you integrated?

[josuelmm]

You must request permission to run in the background, and notify the client that they must remove the battery saving app.

You do the battery permission with powerOptimization
import { PowerOptimization } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/power-optimization/ngx';

async requestPermissionLocationForever(){ this.androidPermissions.requestPermission('android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION') .then(result => { if (!result.hasPermission){ this.permissionActivityForever = false; }else{ this.permissionActivityForever = true; } }) .catch(err=>{ this.permissionActivityForever = false; }); }

`async RequestOptimizations(){
this.powerOptimization.RequestOptimizations().then(status =>{
this.IsIgnoringBatteryOptimizations();
this.IsIgnoringDataSaver();
this.HaveProtectedAppsCheck();
})
.catch(error => {
this.permissionBattery = false;
});
}

async IsIgnoringDataSaver(show = false){
this.powerOptimization.IsIgnoringDataSaver().then((status) => {
this.permissionBackground = status;
if (status == false && show == true){
this.powerOptimization.RequestDataSaverMenu().then((result) => {}, (err) => {});
}
}, (err) => {
this.permissionBackground = false;
});
}

async IsIgnoringBatteryOptimizations(show = false){
this.powerOptimization.IsIgnoringBatteryOptimizations().then(status =>{
if (status == false && show == true){
this.showAlertBattery();
}

  if (status == false){
    setTimeout(()=>{
      this.IsIgnoringBatteryOptimizations();
      this.IsIgnoringDataSaver();
      this.HaveProtectedAppsCheck();
    },10000);
  }
  this.permissionBattery = status;
})
.catch(error => {
  this.permissionBattery = false;
});

}

async HaveProtectedAppsCheck(){
this.powerOptimization.HaveProtectedAppsCheck().then((result) => {
this.permissionBatteryProtect = result;
}, (err) => {
this.permissionBatteryProtect = false;
});
}`

@josuelmm thank you so much for your help this all helped me a lot. Thanks for your updates.

[ivinantony]

@josuelmm is there any directly to the location permission instead of opening the all permissions like in this pic?

[ivinantony]

@josuelmm but that plugin not working in Samsung can you show me an example how you are asking permission and all

[steven-fernandez]

Use this plugin https://github.com/HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin/

So, is this plugin "@mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation" to be ignored now and this one to be used instead "https://github.com/HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin/" ? I'm asking because Ionic page points to this plugin.

[josuelmm]

Si correcto @steven-fernandez

[steven-fernandez]

Si correcto @steven-fernandez

Gracias :)
