Setting up the SDK

Overview

  • Start predict.io - Start getting callbacks from predict.io.
  • Stop predict.io - Stop getting callbacks from predict.io.
  • Get predict.io status - Check status of predict.io, whether it is active or not.
  • Get the device identifier - An alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a device to predict.io.
  • predict.io Search - Enable/disable searching in perimeter for parking.
  • Minimize Application - Minimize the application
  • Set Custom Parameters - Set custom parameters which can then be sent to a user defined webhook url.
  • Set Webhook URL - Set a webhook url where all the detected events can then be forwarded along with the custom parameters. This webhook will not support additional authentication. So any additional validation of legitimate requests must take place.

Details

Start predict.io

This starts predict.io if the API_Key is set into plugin.xml, otherwise it returns an Error.

/**
 * Starts predict.io if API_Key is set into plugin.xml, otherwise it returns an Error
 *
 * @param "true/false" set searching in perimeter enable
 * @param "true/false" set foreground service enable
 * @param Description for the notification of foreground service
 */
 cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'start' , ['true/false', 'true/false', 'Notification Description');

Stop predict.io

This method stop predict.io

/**
 * Stop predict.io
 */
 cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'stop', []);     

predict.io Status

This method returns predict.io's status, PredictIOStatus (i.e. if it is active or not).

/**
 * This method returns predict.io's status, PredictIOStatus (i.e. if it is active or not).
 *
 * @return PredictIOStatus which represents the current predict.io state.
 * ACTIVE: predict.io is in a working/running state.
 * LOCATION_DISABLED: predict.io is not in a working state, GPS is disabled from location settings.
 * AIRPLANE_MODE_ENABLED: predict.io is not in a working state, Airplane mode is enabled in settings.
 * INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSION: predict.io has not been authorized by user to use location services at any time.
 * IN_ACTIVE: predict.io has not been started. It is in inactive state.
 */
 cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'status' , []);

Device Identifier

An alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a device to predict.io.

/**
 * An alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a device to the predict.io
 *
 * @return UUID
 */
 cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'deviceIdentifier' , []);

predict.io Search

Use this method to enable/disable searching in perimeter.

/**
 * Enable/disable searching for parking
 *
 * @return "true/false"
 */
 cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'isSearchingInPerimeterEnabled' , []);

Minimize Application

Use this method to minimize the application.

/**
 * Use this method to minimize the application
 */
 cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'minimize' , []);

Custom Parameters

Set custom parameters which can then be sent to a user defined webhook url.

/*
 * Set custom parameters which can then be sent to a user defined webhook url
 *
 * @param key:   Key to identify a custom parameter value
 * @param value: Custom parameter value
 */
cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'setCustomParameter' , ['device_token', 'APA91bEzXWz5oGeWNzsE2MNddaR9q']);
Webhook URL

Set a webhook url where all the detected events can then be forwarded along with the custom parameters. This webhook will not support additional authentication. So any additional validation of legitimate requests must take place.

/*
 * Set a webhook url where all the detected events can then be forwarded along with the custom parameters.
 * This webhook will not support additional authentication. So any additional validation of legitimate requests must take place.
 *
 * @param url: The webhook url
 */
cordova.exec(successCallback , errorCallback , 'PredictIOPlugin' , 'setWebhookURL' , ['http://events.your-awesome-app.com/']);

Canceled Departure

This method is invoked when predict.io is unable to validate the last departure event.

/*
* This method is invoked when predict.io is unable to validate the last departure event.
