Example Background Geolocation app.

Description

Example app shows some possibilities of cordova-background-geolocation plugin.

How to build

Replace platform with one of supported platforms: android, ios. In this example we will build for Android.

$ cordova platform add android
$ cordova build android

There is after_platform_add hook in config.xml which runs script that install all required plugins.

Run on device

iOS

You will need to install ios-deploy package.

$ npm -g install ios-deploy

cordova run ios --device

Android

cordova run android --device

Run in simulator

iOS

You will need to install ios-sim package first

$ npm -g install ios-sim

Run in default emulator

$ cordova emulate ios

You can use cordova run ios --list to see all available targets and cordova run ios --target=target_name to run application on a specific device or emulator (for example, cordova run ios --target="iPhone-6").

Android

To deploy the app on a default Android emulator.

$ cordova emulate android

You can use cordova run android --list to see all available targets and cordova run android --target=target_name to run application on a specific device or emulator (for example, cordova run android --target="Nexus4_emulator").

Development

All plugins will be installed from npm at their latest version. However if you want to install your local version on cordova-plugin-background-geolocation, you can do that:

$ cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation
$ cordova plugin add file:///absolute_path_to_your/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation/
$ cordova build
