In android, background mode code is not working

Android app in background code is not working, while I enabled the background code in ios the entire code is executing as normal, but on Android, nothing happening. I was using this plugin in ionic 3 application "https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/background-mode/"

Same for me with vanilla cordova. Background mode is not working on Android

Does anybody know a background mode plugin that works on android?

I got the solution Try this.backgroundMode.on('activate').subscribe(() => { this.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations(); // run your code here });

As I'm on vanilla cordova, unfortunately your code snippet is not working for me. :-(

Ok, I got it working with the following code:

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('activate', function() { app.onModeActivated; cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations(); cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.moveToBackground(); /* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */ });

But it stops working when the screen is switched off... and yes I told Android to execute the app when the screen is off... But maybe thats just the geolocation part that does not work with switched off screen.

are u guys using ionic 2 or 3? Cause it just doesn't work on 3. I need better example when it's used in the app.ts file or in a controller...

Probably a bit late for you, but a number of the cordova plugins will need to be run on a physical device as they won't work as expected on a browser emulator.

Given that this one is related to background mode and isn't applicable to the browser emulator I'm guessing that is why it wasn't working for you.

Not a problem with the browser emulator:

Testing on an android device (honor 8x, Android 8.1.0), background mode not working.

Development environment:

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.7.0
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.1

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.4, browser 5.0.4, ios 4.5.5
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.3, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.3.1, (and 11 other plugins)

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
   NodeJS            : v10.9.0
   npm               : 6.2.0
   OS                : Windows 10

It is working in my app :-) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.gotop.nms

You can see here the code https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode/issues/400#issuecomment-484077499

you can call the wakeUp method at a given time.

const timer = 4*60*1000; // four minutes
 this.backgroundMode.enable();
 this.backgroundMode.on('activate')
    .subscribe(()=>{
       setInterval(()=>{
            this.backgroundMode.wakeUp();
            this.backgroundMode.moveToForeground();
          },timer);
    });

Use this plugin ::
