Geolocation
If you're planning to use browser Geolocation API, make sure you've enabled the Geolocation feature for iOS (For Android, this feature is enabled by default)
Natively - Location element contains Foreground & Background location services:
- Location received - User's location longitude & latitude values updated.
- Location failed - called whenever Location service was not able to get user's location (check Latest location request status for more details)
- Location Permission Received - called whenever Get location permission return a result
- Latest location response status - Status of the latest geolocation request call.
- SUCCESS - Got a location and desired accuracy level was achieved successfully.
- TIMEOUT - Got a location, but the desired accuracy level was not reached before timeout.
- FAILED - An error occurred while using the system location services.
- Location permission
- IN_USE - foreground allowed
- ALWAYS - background allowed
- DENIED - not determined or denied
- Get current location
- minAccuracy [iOS] - Radius in meters. All other values will be filtered!
- accuractType [iOS] - Affects on location accuracy and battery life. BestForNavigation,Best,NearestTenMeters,HundredMeters,Kilometer,ThreeKilometers. More details here
- Priority [Android] - "BALANCED" (To save battery, recommended) & "HIGH"
- Start foreground location service - start fetching device location
- minAccuracy [iOS] - Radius in meters. All other values will be filtered!
- accuractType [iOS] - Affects on location accuracy and battery life. BestForNavigation,Best,NearestTenMeters,HundredMeters,Kilometer,ThreeKilometers. More details here
- Priority [Android] - "BALANCED" (To save battery, recommended) & "HIGH"
- Fetching Interval - Determines how often the location will be fetched. Interval in milliseconds. 5000ms -> 5s
- Stop foreground location service - stop fetching device location
- Get location permission - request location permission status update
On page reload, the location live tracking service will be automatically stopped. You need to run the Start live location service action.
Before using background geolocation, make sure you've enabled it in your Natively App Dashboard + Created a new build.
- Latest location response status - Status of the latest background location service start/stop.
- SUCCESS - Background location started/stopped successfully
- FAILED - Background location started/stopped with an error.
- Location background failed - Whenever starting of background service will fail
- Location background success - Whenever starting of background service will succeed
- Start background location service - start fetching device location
- minAccuracy [iOS] - Radius in meters. All other values will be filtered!
- accuractType [iOS] - Affects on location accuracy and battery life. BestForNavigation,Best,NearestTenMeters,HundredMeters,Kilometer,ThreeKilometers. More details here
- Priority [Android] - "BALANCED" (To save battery, recommended) & "HIGH"
- Fetching Interval - Determines how often the location will be fetched. Interval in milliseconds. 5000ms -> 5s
- Response Identifier - Identifier that will be sent with a user's location (We're recommending using the user's unique id)
- Stop background location service - stop fetching device location
Background geolocation can be automatically stopped in such cases: If the user or system closes the app, or if the device receives more than 3 errors in response from your endpoint.
Unlike foreground location service, the background will not stop on page reload
To convert longitude and latitude to the bubble's geolocation, you need to use this formula:
1
const locationService = new NativelyLocation()
2
const location_callback = function (resp) {
3
console.log(resp.status); // "Success"/"Timeout"/"Error"
4
console.log(resp.longitude); // 50.1231231
5
console.log(resp.latitude); // 50.1231231
6
};
7
const minAccuracy = 50 // only available in 2.7.0 minAccuracy [iOS] - Radius in meters. All other values will be filtered!
8
9
const accuracyType = "Best" // only available in 2.7.0 accuractType [iOS] - Affects on location accuracy and battery life. BestForNavigation,Best,NearestTenMeters,HundredMeters,Kilometer,ThreeKilometers. More details here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocationaccuracy
10
11
const priority_android = "BALANCED" // "BALANCED" or "HIGH" [Android only]
12
const inerval = 10000 // in milliseconds
13
// Foreground Location
14
locationService.current(minAccuracy, accuracyType, priority_android, location_callback);
15
locationService.start(interval, minAccuracy, accuracyType, priority_android, location_callback);
16
locationService.stop();
17
18
const location_bg_callback = function (resp) {
19
console.log(resp.status); // "SUCCESS"/"FAILED" - Start of background service was successfully or failed
20
};
21
// Background Location
22
const responseId = "my-user-id" // Identifer that you will receive together with coordinates to your webhook endpoint
23
locationService.startBackground(interval, minAccuracy, accuracyType, priority_android, responseId, location_bg_callback);
24
locationService.stopBackground(location_bg_callback);
