Cordova run function in background - javascript

Before opening this question, I researched here and what I had was not what I needed.
I'm using the plugins:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-network-information
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-background-mode
Reading the doc I arrived at this montage:
document.addEventListener("online", onOnline, false);
function onOnline() {
let networkState = navigator.connection.type
if (networkState == "wifi") {
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.isScreenOff(function() {
setInterval(function(){
alert('Alert executed in the background')
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({
title: 'Title',
text: 'Text',
icon: 'www/img/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi/ico.png',
color: 'F14F4D',
resume: true,
hidden: false,
bigText: true
})
}, 5000);
});
}, false);
}
}
But the result is nothing, there is no error, nor does the alert run when the app is closed.
I need the alert to run with the app closed and the icon appears at the top of the phone bar, symbolizing that something is running.
Thanks.

Try to switch the order you registering to the events.
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.enable();
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.isScreenOff(function() {
});
document.addEventListener("online", onOnline, false);
}, false);
function onOnline() {
let networkState = navigator.connection.type
if (networkState == "wifi") {
setInterval(function(){
alert('Alert executed in the background')
cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.setDefaults({
title: 'Title',
text: 'Text',
icon: 'www/img/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi/ico.png',
color: 'F14F4D',
resume: true,
hidden: false,
bigText: true
})
}, 5000);
}
}

aframe mobile <a-video> fully working but <a-sound> not working

this is a additional question to a (solved) question I had here
I have managed to get video for my project working on mobile & desktop using the component from this glitch project
init: function () {
this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
},
play: function () {
window.addEventListener('click', this.onClick);
},
pause: function () {
window.removeEventListener('click', this.onClick);
},
onClick: function (evt) {
var videoEl = this.el.getAttribute('material').src;
if (!videoEl) { return; }
this.el.object3D.visible = true;
videoEl.play();
}
});
however, on mobile devices, a separate component to play sound from an entity is not working (it works on chrome and safari)
init: function () {
this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
},
play: function () {
window.addEventListener('click', this.onClick);
},
pause: function () {
window.removeEventListener('click', this.onClick);
},
onClick: function (evt) {
let entity = document.querySelectorAll('[sound]');
for (let item of entity) {
item.components.sound.playSound();
}
}
});
I am really confused, I have tried a few separate solutions but nothing seems to be working.
The only time I can get audio to play on mobile is by using this component however it is unsuitable as it only plays audio when the individual objects/entities are clicked, and I need all my sounds to play at once, by a click on the document window.
any help would be appreciated !!
EDIT
here is a code snippet of my project to show issue
UPDATE
I have managed to get the component working on mobile but now spatial sound is broken:
JS:
AFRAME.registerComponent('singleton-sound', {
schema: {
src: {type: 'string'},
autoplay: {default: false},
distanceModel: {default: 'inverse', oneOf: ['linear', 'inverse', 'exponential']},
loop: {default: false},
maxDistance: {default: 10000},
on: {default: ''},
poolSize: {default: 1},
positional: {default: true},
refDistance: {default: 1},
rolloffFactor: {default: 1},
volume: {default: 1}
},
multiple: true,
init: function () {
var audio = document.querySelector(this.data.src);
window.addEventListener('click', playIfFree);
// window.addEventListener('mouseenter', playIfFree);
audio.addEventListener('ended', function () {
window.isPlaying = true
})
function playIfFree () {
if(!window.isPlaying) {
audio.play();
window.isPlaying = false
} else {
return false
}
}
}
});
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
document.querySelector('#overlay').style.display = 'flex';
document.querySelector('#overlay').addEventListener('click', function () {
let sounds = document.querySelectorAll('audio');
sounds.forEach (function (sound) {
sound.play();
sound.pause();
})
this.style.display = 'none';
})
});
HTML
<a-entity
gltf-model="#alice"
navigate-on-click="url: alice.html"
singleton-sound="

distanceModel: inverse;

Jquery-ui Tabs Open dialog box on tab click (stop code)

This is my code. I am trying to stop the clicked tab from loading until i get a response from the dialog box. Also if i click cancel, i wan to return to the previously selected tab. currently the way i have it setup it creates a loop (which i broke with my lame code).
As seen in my jsfiddle example the code does stop. However, you will notice in the backround that the tab does change to the clicked one, so if you click cancel the backround will flash. i am trying to avoid that.
Thanks.
My Fiddle
//
var runOnceDammit;
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".hideT").button();
$("#tabs").tabs();
$("#tabs").tabs("disable", "#tabs-4");
$('.ms-formtable').appendTo($('#tabs-1'));
$("#tabs").on("tabsbeforeactivate", function(event, ui) {
if (runOnceDammit == true) {
runOnceDammit = false;
return;
}
var active = $("#tabs").tabs("option", "active");
var dialResults = $.when(showDialog());
dialResults.done(function(data) {
if (data) {
$('.ms-formtable').appendTo(ui.newPanel);
if (ui.newPanel.is("#tabs-2")) {
//do stuff
} else if (ui.newPanel.is("#tabs-3")) {
//do stuff
} else if (ui.newPanel.is("#tabs-1")) {
//do stuff
}
return;
} else {
ui.newTab.blur(); //trying to remove higlight from tab
runOnceDammit = true
$("#tabs").tabs({
active: active
}); //activate previous tab
return;
}
});
//return;
});
}); //End DocReady!

function showDialog() {
var dfd = $.Deferred();
var results;
$('#dialog').dialog({
dialogClass: "no-close",
title: "Fanciful Dialog Box",
modal: true,
draggable: false,
buttons: [{
text: 'Confirm',
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-check"
},
click: function() {
results = true;
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}, {
text: 'Cancel',
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-cancel"
},
click: function() {
results = false;
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}],
close: function(event, ui) {
dfd.resolve(results);
}
});
return dfd.promise()
}
Consider the following:
<div class="section" id="section-1">
Tab 1
</div>
<div class="section" id="section-2">
<a name="myTab-1"></a>
</div>
<script>
$("#myTab-1").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
// Do a thing
return true;
});
</script>
This jQuery code will bind an anonymous function to the click event. The function takes a JavaScript Event Object as an attribute. Events have some methods to them, such as, .preventDefault(). This allows you to interrupt the default event and execute your own code. Using return true will return the default behavior after your code has been run.
I answered a similar question: confirm form submit with jquery UI
I found it better to resolve with the result. It seems that .resove() will work out better this way when it comes to the .done() code.
Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/e2djqx08/
The key, I think, was to assign the active tab properly in your cancellation code.
JavaScript
function showDialog() {
var dfd = $.Deferred();
var results;
$('#dialog').dialog({
dialogClass: "no-close",
title: "Fanciful Dialog Box",
modal: true,
draggable: false,
buttons: [{
text: 'Confirm',
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-check"
},
click: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
dfd.resolve(true);
}
}, {
text: 'Cancel',
icons: {
primary: "ui-icon-cancel"
},
click: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
dfd.resolve(false);
}
}]
});
return dfd.promise();
}
$(function() {
$("#tabs").tabs().tabs("disable", 3);
$('.ms-formtable').appendTo($('#tabs-1'));
$("#tabs").on("tabsbeforeactivate", function(e, ui) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log("EVENT: Prevent Default");
var self = $(this);
var revertToTab = ui.oldTab;
var revertToPanel = ui.oldPanel;
var sendTo = ui.newTab;
var sendToPanel = ui.newPanel;
console.log("EVENT: When Dialog is closed.");
$.when(showDialog()).done(function(data) {
if (data) {
console.log("INFO: Dialog Confirmed.");
$('.ms-formtable').appendTo(ui.newPanel);
if (self.is("#tabs-2")) {
//do stuff
} else if (self.is("#tabs-3")) {
//do stuff
} else if (self.is("#tabs-1")) {
//do stuff
}
return;
} else {
console.log("INFO: Dialog Cancelled");
self.blur();
$("#tabs").tabs("option", "active", revertToTab);
return false;
}
});
});
});
In my tests, I continued to find the active tab panel loading while the dialog was active. This did not happen when I used $("#tabs").tabs("option", "active", revertToTab);.
Hope that helps.

Javascript - prevent navigation during file upload

I have a vue component for video upload, where I am warning a user when he tries to navigate away during the video upload that he will lose the file if he does so, like this:
ready() {
window.onbeforeunload = () => {
if (this.uploading && !this.uploadingComplete && !this.failed) {
this.confirm('Are you sure you want to navigate away? Your video won't be uploaded if you do so!');
}
}
}
I am using sweetalert to alert the user about it. But how can I then make it stay on the same page, and prevent the navigation away before he confirms that he wants to navigate away?
This is the whole component:
<script>
function initialState (){
return {
uid: null,
uploading: false,
uploadingComplete: false,
failed: false,
title: null,
link: null,
description: null,
visibility: 'private',
saveStatus: null,
fileProgress: 0
}
}
export default {
data: function (){
return initialState();
},
methods: {
fileInputChange() {
this.uploading = true;
this.failed = false;
this.file = document.getElementById('video').files[0];
this.store().then(() => {
var form = new FormData();
form.append('video', this.file);
form.append('uid', this.uid);
this.$http.post('/upload', form, {
progress: (e) => {
if (e.lengthComputable) {
this.updateProgress(e)
}
}
}).then(() => {
this.uploadingComplete = true
}, () => {
this.failed = true
});
}, () => {
this.failed = true
})
},
store() {
return this.$http.post('/videos', {
title: this.title,
description: this.description,
visibility: this.visibility,
extension: this.file.name.split('.').pop()
}).then((response) => {
this.uid = response.json().data.uid;
});
},
update() {
this.saveStatus = 'Saving changes.';
return this.$http.put('/videos/' + this.uid, {
link: this.link,
title: this.title,
description: this.description,
visibility: this.visibility
}).then((response) => {
this.saveStatus = 'Changes saved.';
setTimeout(() => {
this.saveStatus = null
}, 3000)
}, () => {
this.saveStatus = 'Failed to save changes.';
});
},
updateProgress(e) {
e.percent = (e.loaded / e.total) * 100;
this.fileProgress = e.percent;
},
confirm(message) {
swal({
title: message,
text: null,
type: "warning",
showCancelButton: true,
cancelButtonText: "Cancel",
cancelButtonColor: '#FFF',
confirmButtonColor: "#2E112D",
confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete"
}).then(function(){
this.$data = initialState();
}.bind(this), function(dismiss) {
// dismiss can be 'overlay', 'cancel', 'close', 'esc', 'timer'
if (dismiss === 'cancel') { // you might also handle 'close' or 'timer' if you used those
// ignore
} else {
throw dismiss;
}
})
}
},
ready() {
window.onbeforeunload = () => {
if (this.uploading && !this.uploadingComplete && !this.failed) {
this.confirm('Are you sure you want to navigate away? Your video won't be uploaded if you do so!');
}
}
}
}
</script>
Mozilla documentation suggests
window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
var dialogText = 'Dialog text here';
e.returnValue = dialogText;
return dialogText;
};
and also states that:
Since 25 May 2011, the HTML5 specification states that calls to window.alert(), window.confirm(), and window.prompt() methods may be ignored during this event. See the HTML5 specification for more details.
Source contains many other details regarding reasons and what to expect from modern browsers.
This question seems to be a duplicate of yours.
This answer suggests that to avoid weird browser behaviour you should set handler only when it's to prevent something (that is while navigating away should trigger a confirmation dialog)
But how can I then make it stay on the same page, and prevent the navigation away before he confirms that he wants to navigate away?
Add return false; to stop the event.
if (this.uploading && !this.uploadingComplete && !this.failed) {
this.confirm("Are you sure you want to navigate away? Your video won't be uploaded if you do so!");
return false; // <==== add this
}
return false; does 3 separate things when you call it :
event.preventDefault(); – It stops the browsers default behaviour.
event.stopPropagation(); – It prevents the event from propagating (or “bubbling up”) the DOM.
Stops callback execution and returns immediately when called.

return true for click event and continue

Hi I have a popup window control what I'm trying todo is get it to continue the click event if the user chooses the yes button. How do you continue the click event for the 'yes' button, I'm trying to make it return true but it doesn't continue for the click it just return false.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.delete-question').click(function(e) {
ret = false;
_this = this;
$('#pop-up-1').popUpWindow({
modal: true,
blurClass: '.main-container',
action: "open",
buttons: [{
text: "Yes",
click: function () {
this.close();
ret = true;
}
}, {
text: "No",
click: function () {
this.close();
}
}]
});
return ret;
})
});
</script>
You can't do it directly, but you can emit the click event once it is needed, e.g. something like this (not tested):
<script type="text/javascript">
// global flag to track the popup state
var popupReturn = false;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.delete-question').click(function(e) {
// when true (after Yes click only) go on returning true
if (popupReturn) {
popupReturn = false;
return true;
}
else {
_this = this;
$('#pop-up-1').popUpWindow({
modal: true,
blurClass: '.main-container',
action: "open",
buttons: [{
text: "Yes",
click: function () {
// set global flag to true
popupReturn = true;
// emit click event where it knows that popupReturn is true
$(_this).click();
this.close();
}
}, {
text: "No",
click: function () {
this.close();
}
}]
});
return false;
}
})
});
</script>
You can't return from asynchronous event like in your case, because your "modal" is not really modal in sense that it doesn't pause code execution until use clicks a button.
This is where callback come handy. I would wrap the modal code into helper plugin and use it like this:
$.fn.confirmable = function(options) {
options = $.extend({
close: $.noop,
dismiss: $.noop
}, options);
this.each(function() {
$(this).popUpWindow({
modal: true,
blurClass: '.main-container',
action: "open",
buttons: [{
text: "Yes",
click: function() {
this.close();
options.close();
}
}, {
text: "No",
click: function() {
this.close();
options.dismiss();
}
}]
});
});
};
$('.delete-question').confirmable({
close: function() {
// ok pressed do something
},
dismiss: function() {
// cancel pressed
}
});
It means that your workflow needs to transform to asynchronous callback/promise-based.

How to create and Open a dialogue Box Dynamically on page load [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to open a Dialogue Box On Page Load
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am trying to create and open a dialogue box dynamically and automatically on page load in jquery mobile page but not able to do it ..I think i am missing some thing but not able to get what ..
Here is my jquery code and function that is called on pageload..
function onLoad() {
openDialogBox1();
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
$("#searchby_chooser_ok_button").bind ("click", searchByCriteria);
if (typeof Contact === "undefined") {
getElement("contacts_list").innerHTML = "<p>The Cordova Contacts API is inaccessible</p>";
}
}
function openDialogBox1(){
$("#simplestring").simpledialog({
'mode' : 'string',
'prompt' : 'Please Enter Your Mobile No.',
'buttons' : {
'OK': {
click: function () {
$('#dialogoutput').text($('#dialoglink').attr('data-string'));
}
},
'Cancel': {
click: function () { },
icon: "delete",
theme: "c"
}
}
})
}
Please help me to correct my mistake ..Thanks..
try changing this line:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
by this:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", openDialogBox1, false);
Since you are using jquery you can try this:
$(document).ready(function(){
openDialogBox1();
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
$("#searchby_chooser_ok_button").bind ("click", searchByCriteria);
if (typeof Contact === "undefined") {
getElement("contacts_list").innerHTML = "<p>The Cordova Contacts API is inaccessible</p>";
}
}
function openDialogBox1(){
$("#simplestring").simpledialog({
'mode' : 'string',
'prompt' : 'Please Enter Your Mobile No.',
'buttons' : {
'OK': {
click: function () {
$('#dialogoutput').text($('#dialoglink').attr('data-string'));
}
},
'Cancel': {
click: function () { },
icon: "delete",
theme: "c"
}
}
})
});
