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.

I'm using reactjs to build a web chat, I'm trying to display microphone and send buttons at the same time but it doesn't work, Only one of them disply, I heard that there's a limitation for doing this but I don't think so, Is there any suggestions?
Unfortunately, Web Chat is not designed for utilizing both the send button and the speak button, simultaneously. That is to say, technically, you can get both to display however if speech is enabled, then the send button will not respond.
This is because certain send elements and classes are replaced when speak is enabled. As such, even though the send button can be hacked back into Web Chat, it won't respond.
If you feel this would be a good feature for Web Chat to include, I would suggest you present it as a feature request here.
Hope of help!
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.
Is it possible for the user to initiate interaction with glassware, rather than responding to cards that appear unsummoned? I plan to create an app that will only be useful in situations the user identifies.
I combed the documentation some and didn't find anything describing this, but it seems necessary.
You can use a Pinned TimelineItem
https://developers.google.com/glass/v1/reference/timeline
set isPinned to true and the card will appear on the left of the home screen. Users can then initiate your app functionalities through that card's custom actions.
A user can initiate interaction by tapping/using heads up to get to the OK GLASS prompt, then swiping to a card inserted by the Glassware, then tapping on the card, then tapping on an action. They can also share various items to contacts inserted by the Glassware. See the documentation on subscribing to user notifications:
https://developers.google.com/glass/about#subscribing_to_timeline_notifications
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.
I'd like to use the Notification API to create toast notifications for a Silverlight app designed to run both in and out of the browser, but the NotificationWindow class is only available OOB.
Does there exist anything that can replicate the behaviour inside the app? My idea is to have a container in the bottom right of the screen overlaying all other content. Then, create a wrapper which detects OOB-mode, passing params to the Notification API if possible, or populating and showing my own container if not. Is there anything that does this available?
It seems strange that MS chose not to implement something like this, as has been pointed out before.
Displaying a notification in browser is simple. You just need to use a popup and make it appear in the right place. See the following post as an example.
Now the difference with that approach is that the notification will show inside the browser. In OOB it shows outside the window and it's visible even if the windows is minimized. Due to security reasons it's not possible to directly do this.
Out of interest, Chrome Applications like Tweetdeck and Gmail, are able to display notifications outside of the browser. I think this might be a possiblity, but not exactly a Silverlight and cross browser solution.
