Anyone here familiar with Kinetise? I try to add to my app some kind of remote tracking functionality, where backend will trigger from active user his GPS position. What first come to my mind was PUSH notifications, but it's rather message notification than event triggering in this tool. In taxi template there is a map with live changing positions, realized by longpooling requests I think. I found that you can add your current position in request params or body and I consider to use this technique to send user location to server, but I think that I would have to add empty lists in each screen, just to send a location. A bit weird but maybe there is any better solution?
#Marek for GPS purposes you have also functions:
GPS TRACKING START
GPS TRACKING STOP
You can add it to buttons from widget "EVENTS" tab.
EVENTS tab
I know it's not triggered by server but can help you meet your requirements.

We have a need for our end-users to be able to click a "watch" button or something similar to get update notifications when page contents are updated.
Is there a feature or plugin for this?
Thank you.
There's no built-in mechanism for this, but you could build one by defining a "Subscription" model to keep track of which users are watching a given page, and adding a listener for the page_published signal that sends the notification to those users.
I think i've found a blocker in my app development that i hope you can help me out with please.I am using a CN1 Local Notification and i want them to be triggered at an interval at a particular time. The LocalNotification sample project works but please can you answer this. How can i code it so that each local notification text n.setAlertTitle() is customised\different each day, from reading from a List? All the examples i read have static text.
I had thought of not making it repeat but initiating a new notification upon the user clicking previous one, but this would have the problem that if the user ignores the notification then no more would be sent, so i abandoned that approach.
Many thanks in advance.
The solution is not to issue a recurring notification and instead register several separate notifications. You will need to store and manage the notification ID's so you can cancel and replace them.
In order to change the text dynamically your app needs to run and the basic idea of the notification is that it occurs while your app isn't running so it must be static.
I have an app that uses AngularJS and Firebase (with AngularFire API), but I'm getting some problems with the $bindTo service. Sometimes users are loosing data because there is no good connection in my city, our internet is too slow. I was thinking to create an icon in my app that shows the user if its data was updated successfully or not.
How I was thinking to do it?
- Watch the object
- On data changed, the icon becomes red
- When data is saved on Firebase, returns an event that change the icon color to green
How can I do it? Is there a better way to deal with it?
Check out https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/guide/offline-capabilities.html
This gives example of how to check out connection status and event handlers to deal with such situations .
Are there options other than DEFAULT for the notification level?timelineItem.setNotification(new NotificationConfig().setLevel("DEFAULT"));
I would like the screen to turn on to show my new/updated card instead of just hearing the sound and having to quickly turn the glass on to catch the notification or have to scroll through to find it.
There are only two notification levels: DEFAULT and NULL.
The Glass team has decided against allowing developers to use the Mirror API to automatically turn on screens. There was a feature request that the team closed. Here is the explanation:
This is something that we've considered, but as it turns out, it's really distracting. We're continuing to experiment with ways to make notifications rich, but bringing the screen on automatically is probably not something that we'll ever provide in the Mirror API.
All,
I have been looking high and low for a solution and at this point I am baffled. I am not looking for code here. I am just looking for the proper logic flow to alert users of my app that an event is taking place nearby using Geoloqi.
My platforms:
Geoloqi: Geofencing
Appcelerator Cloud Services: User, Event and Message Management
Language: javascript
Mobile: iPhone and Android
What I am trying to do:
1) I want users of my app to be able to create an event, then create a trigger based on that event.
2) I want users of my app who are near the event to be automatically alerted that the event is happening.
What I have so far:
1) Create an Appcelerator Event - Works fine
2) Create a Geoloqi Layer including the Appcelerator EventID - Works fine
3) Create a Geoloqi Trigger for the above layer - Works fine
I can see everything getting to the Geoloqi debugger. I just don't see the alert going out. I saw a post that the anonymous user needs to subscribe to the layer in order for the trigger to send to my users inside the trigger geofence. I just don't understand how to do that. I have tried several code permutations around the user/create_anon method with a key using either the anonymous username or the user access token to subscribe to the layer with no luck. I have tried using the access token returned on init as the parameter to subscribe with no luck.
I am wondering, however, if I can get the same effect by using a place instead of the layer, and avoiding the subscription issue. I somehow doubt this as the place has to reside in a default layer.
Color me confused. I already went through hell and back just getting the push certs set up for Apple, so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce
Bruce,
I'd recommend hitting the geoloqi developer IRC channel. You can get to it from one of the developer pages on their website. The geoloqi guys are usually online and they've been very helpful to me in the past.
If you do get it working, I'd love to hear the solution/flow for it! Hope that helps!

OK, so here is what I am doing. Not sure yet if it is the answer, but I think it will work.
Create a default layer with no boundaries and a key that is the same each time the app runs. This will ensure the same layer is used based on Geoloqi's anti-dupe logic.
Create an anon user using the logged in user's email address since I am using Appcelerator to handle the user management. If I understand this correctly, this will also ensure the same anon-user is used if the user logs in again later. The anon user is automatically subscribed to the default layer.
When the user wants to create an event, the app creates an event on Appcelerator, creates a layer with a radius of x, a trigger on that layer, and sends a broadcast message to all users in the default layer using the trigger centerpoint and radius to limit the message to the immediate area.
If the user wants to cancel the event, the app sends a broadcast message to the default
layer in the same way the layer was created, then deletes the Appcelerator event and the layer.
I have all the code hooked in except the anonymous user. I can see the triggers being set and the messages being created on the Geoloqi Debugger, but I don't always get them. I'll be hooking in the anonymous user next week, so we shall see.
