Android Cordova Pedometer

This is a simple Android Pedometer plugin mainly developed to bridge the pedometer feature to Outsystems through Cordova.

Features:

• Lets you ask permission for "Activity Recognition" needed for the pedometer app.
• Lets you capture the steps being detected by android while the application is active. (steps starts at 0)

Usage

For Cordova:

• First the application needs to check for permission
• If the application does not have permission it will need to request the permission
• When the permission is already granted. You can now call the "Start Pedometer" function
• You will then need a listener that executes when ever a step event is happening
• And finally if you are going to exit the app call the "Stop Pedometer" function

To check if the application has permission:

function onSuccess (data) 
{
    var hasPermission = data.hasPermission;
    var success = true;
}

function onFail (error) 
{
    var errorMsg = error;
    var success = true;
}

var androidpedometer = cordova.plugins.AndroidCordovaPedometer;
androidpedometer.checkPermissionActivityRecognition(onSuccess, onFail);

To request permission for the application

function onSuccess (data) 
{
    var hasPermission = data.hasPermission;
    var success = true;
}

function onFail (error) 
{
    var errorMsg = error;
    var success = true;
}

var androidpedometer = cordova.plugins.AndroidCordovaPedometer;
androidpedometer.requestPermissionActivityRecognition(onSuccess, onFail);

To Start the Pedometer

function onSuccess (data) 
{
    var success = true;
}

function onFail (error)
{
    var errorMsg = error;
    var success = false;
}

var androidpedometer = cordova.plugins.AndroidCordovaPedometer;
androidpedometer.startPedometerUpdates(onSuccess, onFail);

To listen to the Pedometer Steps

cordova.plugins.AndroidCordovaPedometer.onStepping
(
    function(steps)
    {
        //function you want to do
    }
);

To Stop the Pedometer

function onSuccess (data) 
{
    var success = true;
}

function onFail (error) 
{
    var errorMsg = error;
    var success = false;
}

var androidpedometer = cordova.plugins.AndroidCordovaPedometer;
androidpedometer.stopPedometer(onSuccess, onFail);
