This is for PhoneGap 3.x, here is the 2.x version
Prevent the screen of the mobile device from falling asleep.
keepAwake
.allowSleepAgain
.Insomnia is compatible with Cordova Plugman and ready for the PhoneGap 2.9.0 CLI, here's how it works with the CLI:
$ phonegap local plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Insomnia-PhoneGap-Plugin.git
or
$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Insomnia-PhoneGap-Plugin.git
run this command afterwards:
$ cordova prepare
The javascript bridge is brought in automatically, so no need to reference Insomnia.js from your html.
You can also get this plugin from NPM.
1. Add the following xml to your config.xml
in the root directory of your www
folder:
<!-- for iOS -->
<feature name="Insomnia">
<param name="ios-package" value="Insomnia" />
</feature>
<!-- for Android -->
<feature name="Insomnia">
<param name="android-package" value="nl.xservices.plugins.Insomnia" />
</feature>
<!-- for wp8 -->
<feature name="Insomnia">
<param name="wp-package" value="Insomnia" />
</feature>
2. Grab a copy of Insomnia.js, add it to your project and reference it in index.html
:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Insomnia-PhoneGap-Plugin/raw/master/js/Insomnia.js"></script>
3. Download the source files for iOS and/or Android and copy them to your project.
iOS: Copy Insomnia.h
and Insomnia.h
to platforms/ios/<ProjectName>/Plugins
Android: Copy Insomnia.java
to platforms/android/src/nl/xservices/plugins
(create the folders)
wp8: Copy Insomnia.cs
to platforms/wp8/Plugins/nl.x-services.plugins.insomnia
(create the folders)
Insomnia works with PhoneGap build too, look for Insomnia here: https://build.phonegap.com/plugins/
Just add the following xml to your config.xml
to always use the latest version of this plugin:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-insomnia" />
or to use this exact version:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-insomnia" version="4.1.0" source="npm" />
The plugin's javascript file is brought in automatically. Make sure though you include a reference to cordova.js in your index.html's head:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/Insomnia-PhoneGap-Plugin/raw/master/cordova.js"></script>
<button onclick="window.plugins.insomnia.keepAwake()">keep awake</button>
<button onclick="window.plugins.insomnia.allowSleepAgain()">allow sleep again</button>
An optional successCallback (first argument) will be triggered if the functions succeed. Even calling keepAwake
twice will fire the successCallback, because the app will respond as expected (being kept awake).
An optional errorCallback (second argument) will only be triggered if something fatal happened, preventing the plugin to work as expected.
Note that calling allowSleepAgain
without calling keepAwake
first will trigger errorCallback
or throw an error if not provided.
In this issue it was reported that on iOS the app would fall asleep after the Camera has been used,
even if you previously called keepAwake
. A similar issue on Android where the photo library was accessed during app usage.
So to make sure your app honors keepAwake
you have to re-run that method after these kinds of 'external UI' thingies give control back to your app.
This plugin was enhanced for Plugman / PhoneGap Build by Eddy Verbruggen.
The Android code was entirely created by the author.
The iOS code was heavily inspired by Wolfgang Koller.
Many thanks to Jesse MacFadyen for implementing the wp8 and windows versions!
