Android support

Check compatibility on: https://github.com/stefanocudini/leaflet-compass/blob/master/src/leaflet-compass.js#L94

iOS: self._rotateCompass(e.webkitCompassHeading);

HTML5! self._rotateCompass(-e.alpha);

Hi stefanocudini,

Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the society. So what should I do just to change from self._rotateCompass(e.webkitCompassHeading); to self._rotateCompass(-e.alpha); in order to use the compass on android?

[stefanocudini]

I think this is the way, but unfortunately I do not have Android devices for testing. Maybe @sabas can help you

[thienbao92]

I'm testing it. Hope it works, I will post my test later!!

[stefanocudini]

[thienbao92]

@mstn maybe you are interested

Tested on Ionic/phonegap hybrid app builder on android, windows phone and iOS. Everything works great.

[sabas]

Perhaps could be integrated in the plugin? (if it's not working in ios it could be added some platform sniffing code)

you can use the new Leaflet API L.Browser property for discern the behavior: http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#browser
