This repository is no longer active.

The plugin has been converted to support the Plugman format plugins - for this I have created a new repository. This is in line with Cordova project direction. I will no longer support this repository. Any issues should be logged against the new respoistories.

• Core logic is now Plugman compatible and found here -> https://github.com/Red-Folder/bgs-core
• A sample plugin is also available in Plugman format and available here -> https://github.com/Red-Folder/bgs-sample
• Both plugins are also available from http://plugins.cordova.io/
• Fully re-documented which can be found here -> https://github.com/Red-Folder/bgs-core/wiki
• Issues should now me raised here -> https://github.com/Red-Folder/bgs-core/issues

In future all updates to the plugin will be tweeted via @FolderRed

This is the source code for my BackgroundService for use with Cordova.

Normally it will be easier for you to use the compiled versions, found at https://github.com/Red-Folder/Cordova-Plugin-BackgroundService

I use the code within an Android Library. Copy the src & aidl folders into the root folder of your project.

Note that if you attempt to use this code directly within an application, you will be need to refer to additional files provided in https://github.com/Red-Folder/Cordova-Plugin-BackgroundService

Cordova versions provide different plugin architecture. To provide for this I have seperate wapper for each version. This is represented by the various BackgroundServicePlugin.vx.x.x.java files.

You will only want to include one of these in your project (delete the other versions) and then rename it to BackgroundServicePlugin.java.

Over time I will no longer maintain older versions. These will be listed here. The code is still be available, but may not compile or build without work.

• BackgroundServicePlugin.v1.8.1.java - For use with Cordova 1.8.1 - Depreciated 21st August 2013
• BackgroundServicePlugin.v2.0.0.java - For use with Cordova 2.0.0 - Depreciated 21st August 2013

Please let me know your thoughts and comments.

If you find the Background Service Plugin useful then spread the love.

All the work I do on the Plugin is done in my spare time - time I would otherwise be spending taking my wife out for a nice meal or helping my lad find vinyl records (he's currently very much into The Smiths, Fleetwood Mac and Kate Bush).

The Plugin is free and will always remain free. I will continue to develop, maintain and distribute the Plugin under the MIT License.
