geofence

Geofences in earlier versions of Android work just fine, but in Android 11(*) it doesn't seem to work as-is. So I made a marathon post where I did a lot of tests, trying to figure out things...

UPDATE: I added Test 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to this post. I've also posted a new thread with a follow-up. This post is entirely based based on the code in https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/geofence-monitoring-a-region-in-the-background.84767/ I'm trying to get geofences to work on...

Yesterday I did a lot of tests to figure out how things worked regarding permissions and background location (full report here). It's clear that background permission is more difficult to get approved since API 29. How do we request permission for background locations in API 29 and above? I...

I'm experimenting a bit with geofences on iOS (related thread) and have a related question. If the user swipe-kill the app, the geofences also stop working. And the app doesn't get an event when it gets swipe-killed, I've read in many threads here in the forum. However, can I do something...

I'm experimenting a bit with geofences on iOS (related thread) and have a related question. Looking at the related thread, Erel says: As I understand it, this means that swipe-killing an app also removes all geofences the OS kept looking for. Reasonable, but how can we enable them again? Is...

I'm experimenting a bit with geofences on iOS (related thread) and have encountered something unexpected. When starting the app, the OS asks me (something like): "Do you want to allow this app to use positioning" With these options for the user to select from: Don't allow Allow once Allow...

Hi everyone. I was wondering if it's possibile to set up a geofence that when you enter (or exit), triggers an event catchable with the app closed. (like Apple "Find My" app, that can send a notification to you when a friend leave/arrive a place). I'm not knowledge about this things , so I'm...

Hi, I am trying out this example, and I am wondering: Can all currently active GeoFences be returned from Android OS into my app? Also, I would very much appreciate if someone suggested some way of testing this feature other than walking around looking into my phone? Something like setting a...

Hi everyone, i'm taking a look to @Erel example on Geofence (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/geofence-monitoring-a-region-in-the-background.84767/#content). I'm trying to change it in order to implement it as foreground service, in this way TEORICALLY the OS can't kill my process...

Let's say I have defined ten geofences in my app, and all is working fine. Now the user wants to pause the detection for a period, lets say 24 hours. What is the best practice to "pause" the fences, and make sure they "activate" again in 24 hours? I've managed to find two strategies, but I'm...
