geofence.DWELL not triggering

[malakodas]

Hi,

it seems that geofence.DWELL is not triggering whatever i do. Here is relevant code:

for(var i in carouselCards) {
        if(carouselCards[i].cardWrapper.latitude !== null && carouselCards[i].cardWrapper.longitude !== null) {
        var newRegion = {
            "id": carouselCards[i].cardWrapper.id,
            "latitude": carouselCards[i].cardWrapper.latitude,
            "longitude": carouselCards[i].cardWrapper.longitude,
            "radius": 1000,
            "dwellTime" : (5000).toFixed(2),
            "transitions" : [
                              geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_DWELL
                ]
        }

        androidFences.push(newRegion);
    }
}

if(androidFences.length) {
    geofence.addGeofences({
        clearExistingFences: true,
        fences: androidFences
    });

        geofence.startMonitoring();
    geofence.addEventListener(geofence.DWELL, function(e){
                Titanium.API.info(JSON.stringify(e));
    });
}

Fences array is populated, monitoring started but i can't get dwell callback to work. Enter event works fine though.

Im using module version 1.0.2 and titanium sdk 7.4.0.GA. Also using Mock locations app to get desired behaviour.

Thanks

Hi @malakodas Thank you for reporting these issues. I just came back from a vacation and I will investigate the issues an solve them asap.

[EDIT] The "dwellTime" is in milliseconds. Could you try changing "dwellTime" : (5000).toFixed(2), to "dwellTime" : "dwellTime" : 5 * 60 * 1000, :-) I believe this will solve the issue.

Google Documentation Defaults to 0. Setting a big responsiveness value, for example 5 minutes, can save power significantly. However, setting a very small responsiveness value, for example 5 seconds, doesn't necessarily mean you will get notified right after the user enters or exits a geofence: internally, the geofence might adjust the responsiveness value to save power when needed.
