Expose a function to test if Bluetooth and/or to enable it about cordova-plugin-ibeacon HOT 11 OPEN

@dipakchandranp Same for me. The promise is always returning false on iOS.

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

Also unable to get the isEnabled to return true.

@sunsus Yes that's been one of my irritations for a while, and it's been asked before. It's on the TODO list.

Now added for Android

@mrtree1 For iOS too?

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

The bluetooth check is supported on iOS, the enable/disable isn't. I'm less familiar with iOS and didn't have time to investigate how to do this. I wasnt even sure if its necessary. There are stub functions there if anyone wants to push code to do this.

Okay thank you.
How can i activate the autocheck (and the popup "please turn on your bluetooth") if the app starts?

app.run(function($ionicPlatform, $rootScope, Restangular, SETTINGS) {
    $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {

      if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
        cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
      }
      if(window.StatusBar) {
        StatusBar.hide();
      }

      cordova.plugins.locationManager.isBluetoothEnabled()
          .then(function(isEnabled) {
              if (isEnabled) {
                console.log("Bluetooth is enabled: " + isEnabled);
                $rootScope.isBLEnabled = isEnabled;
              } else {
                console.log("Bluetooth is disabled: " + isEnabled);
                $rootScope.isBLEnabled = isEnabled;
              }
          })
          .fail(console.error)
          .done();

      window.locationManager = cordova.plugins.locationManager;
      startBeaconScan();
      updateTimer = setInterval(displayBeaconList, 1000);
    });

I'm not near the code, but for most of the plugins operations you need to register the callback delegate first. Also not knowing ionic I can't tell if there might be any other issues but otherwise that looks right.

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

Okay @mrtree1
Do you have an example how i can trigger the "please turn on your bluetooth" Dialog?
Thank you!

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

No I don't. But for iOS the permissions have to be explicitly requested. Have a look at requestWhenInUseAuthorization and requestAlwaysAuthorization calls on the plugin.

I am trying to check if bluetooth is enabled in iOS device using the following code structure and it always (even bluetooth is enabled or disabled) gives me false for isEnabled.

cordova.plugins.locationManager.isBluetoothEnabled()
        .then((isEnabled) => {
            if(isEnabled){
                return true;
            }else{
                alert("Please enable your bluetooth and reload. Thanks!");
                return false;
            }
        })

How to do this? I have seen some comments it says, its able to detect in iOS. How to achieve this?
Thanks.
