plugin does not store location after app is terminated

[aaronharper123]

The plugin does not store location after the app is terminated. I am not using URL or params in the config object. Instead of this i am using this.bgGeo.getLocations() method to retrieve location but this method is not given location when the app is terminated but work fine in background and foreground.

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 2.12.2
• Platform: iOS
• OS version: 10.2.1
• Device manufacturer / model: iPhone 5s
• Cordova version (cordova -v): 8.0.0
• Cordova platform version (cordova platform ls): 4.5.4
• Plugin config In code below.

  Expected Behavior

My code: this.platform.ready().then(() => { this.bgGeo = (<any>window).BackgroundGeolocation; const subscription = this.batteryStatus.onChange().subscribe(status => { console.log(status.level, status.isPlugged); this.batteryLevel = status.level; }); this.onDeviceReady(); });

`onDeviceReady() {

const subscription = this.batteryStatus.onChange().subscribe(status => {
     console.log(status.level, status.isPlugged);
     this.batteryLevel = status.level;
  });

this.bgGeo.on('location', this.onLocation.bind(this));
this.bgGeo.on('motionchange', this.onMotionChange.bind(this));
this.bgGeo.on('activitychange', this.onActivityChange.bind(this));
this.bgGeo.on('geofence', this.onGeofence.bind(this));
this.bgGeo.on('http', this.onHttpSuccess.bind(this), this.onHttpFailure.bind(this));

// BackgroundGeoLocation is highly configurable.
this.bgGeo.ready({
    // Geolocation config
    desiredAccuracy: 0,
    distanceFilter: 100,
    stationaryRadius: 50,
    // Activity Recognition config
    stopTimeout: 5,
    // Application config
    debug: true,  // <-- Debug sounds & notifications.
    reset: true,
    logLevel: this.bgGeo.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
    stopOnTerminate: false,
    startOnBoot: true,
    method: "POST",
    autoSync: true,
    maxDaysToPersist: 3,

}, function(state) {
    // This callback is executed when the plugin is ready to use.
    console.log("BackgroundGeolocation ready: ", state);
     this.bgGeo.start();
});

}`

` onLocation(location, taskId) { console.log('- location: ', location); let toast = this.toastCtrl.create({ message: 'onLocation call', duration: 2000, position: 'bottom'}); toast.present(); if(location.sample === true) {

    this.bgGeo.getLocations().then((locations)=> {
      this.arrLocations = [];
      console.log("stored locations: ", locations);
      const subscription = this.batteryStatus.onChange().subscribe(status => {
               console.log(status.level, status.isPlugged);
               this.batteryLevel = status.level;
            });

            for(let i=0; i<locations.length; i++) {
                var millisec = new Date(locations[i].timestamp);
                var milliInDate = moment(millisec).format('YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss');

                this.arrLocations.push({
                    Lat: locations[i].coords.latitude,
                    Long: locations[i].coords.longitude,
                    Date: milliInDate,
                    BatteryPerc: this.batteryLevel
                });
            }

            setTimeout(()=> {
                 console.log('Background Location Data: '+JSON.stringify(this.arrLocations));
                 this.serverPush.pushPosition({
                     UserId: 4,
                     LocationData: this.arrLocations
                 });
             },3000);
    }).catch((err)=> {
      console.log('error: ', err);
    });

  }

this.bgGeo.finish(taskId);

}`

Context

Debug logs

[aaronharper123]

after I get all stored location when the app is in background or foreground, I pushed to the server and after I delete the location, but when the app is closed then no any data are retrieved.

[christocracy]

The plugin automatically deletes its locations when your server returns HTTP 200.

[christocracy]

The plugin absolutely 100% persists every single location it records, regardless of background / foreground / after terminate.

[christocracy]

You realize that your Javascript code you're using to push locations to your server won't run on Android when the app is terminated?

This is why the plugin has its own HTTP service.

[aaronharper123]

But i tested sir , i am not using any http param in config so how it returns 200 and how it can delete ?

[christocracy]

I test the plugin every day for the past three+ years. I have thousands of customers. You're doing something wrong. What do the logs say?

[aaronharper123]

i create log for stored location and it goes null

[christocracy]

Stop banging your head against the wall and go play with my Sample App until you're more familiar with the plugin.

[aaronharper123]

i am sure about code and you can also see in above

[aaronharper123]

if am . i doing anything wrong then you can see above

[christocracy]

i am sure about code and you can also see in above

Sure like this

[aaronharper123]

i tested again but same problem. this.bgGeo.getLocations() method gives mu empty array. If i am doing any wrong then please tell me

[christocracy]

XCode logs please.

after i terminated the app in simulator , log goes to ended in xcode

[aaronharper123]

at server side , if we can not put extra param then which object will push to server .

is this whole location object ?

If whole object is pushed then i will manage at server side

[christocracy]

Location Data Schema

Custom locationTemplate

[aaronharper123]

is battery.level gives current battery status ?

[christocracy]

What do you think it would mean if I said to you in english "your battery level is 50%"?

[aaronharper123]

i means it gives me in number ?

[christocracy]

i means it gives me in number ?

What do you think Float means?

[aaronharper123]

hello sir sorry for that , i want to ask one, i want to post json object like:

{ "LocationData": { "Lat": "23.00002", "Long": "72.145452", "Date": "2018-04-30T12:53", "BatteryPerc": 44, "UserId": 4, } }

i am doing like this..

url: 'http://property.zoomi.in:86/api/User/UserTracking',
        httpRootProperty: 'LocationData',
        locationTemplate: '{"Lat":<%= latitude %>,"Long":<%= longitude %>, "Date":<%= timestamp %>, "BatteryPerc":<%= battery.level %>}',
        extras: {
          "UserId": 4
        }`

Is this OK or Not ?

[christocracy]

timestamp is a String. What do you think would happen if you had the JSON

{
  "Date": 2018-06-08T15:45:07.616Z
}

The plugin makes NO ASSUMPTIONS about quoting strings. You must quote your own strings.

..., "Date": "<%= timestamp %>", ...

[aaronharper123]

Okkkk sir, thank you i will implement tomorrow and after that l will update you. till tomorrow , please don't close this issue
