Estimote Beacon not able to detect in android - android

I am new in Hybrid App development using cordova, I am using nodejs for developing and building cordova base android app.The purpose of the app is to scan any proximity device in the range.
The plugin cordova-plugin-estimote is used for scanning.
The javascript and html file as below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="test();">Click</button>
</body>
<head>
<title>Capture Photo</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-height,initial-scale=1"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);
function onDeviceReady() {
alert('Device Ready');
startScan();
}
function startScan()
{
alert('Scanning Started');
function onBeaconsRanged(beaconInfo)
{
alert('onBeaconsRanged: ' + JSON.stringify(beaconInfo))
}
function onError(errorMessage)
{
alert('Ranging beacons did fail: ' + errorMessage);
}
// Start ranging beacons.
estimote.beacons.startRangingBeaconsInRegion(
{}, // Empty region matches all beacons
onBeaconsRanged,
onError);
}
</script>
</head>
</html>
The problem I have faced is when the device ready the event onBeaconsRanged is calling successfully but beacon Info. Beacons array length is always zero.

How to create a Alert Message in phonegap while App is in Background and also when app is closed?

Now I am developing a time reminder application where I need to display an alert message every hour. The alert must also be displayed when the application is running in background and in offline mode as well.
It should work for both Android and iOS platforms.
Please help me out this. Thanks in Advance.
Try using this Local Notification Plugin. Your code needs to look something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
// Wait for device API libraries to load
function onLoad() {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
// device APIs are available
function onDeviceReady() {
// Now safe to use device Plugins
cordova.plugins.notification.local.schedule({
id: 1,
text: 'My first notification',
every: 'hour',
firstAt: next_monday,
data: { key:'value' }
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad()">
</body>
</html>

Getting the device language for a Phonegap application

I'm developing an html5/JqueryMobile/Phonegap app. I have to detect the device language to redirect to a specific html. I'm trying to use Phonegap's navigator.globalization.getPreferredLanguage. On an iOS device it works fine.
The code below detects the language "onDeviceReady" and performs the redirect. This code should be universal for iOS and Android but when I try it on an Android device it doesn't work. The screen freezes. What might cause this?
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Language</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-2.5.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
navigator.globalization.getPreferredLanguage(
function (language)
{
if(language.value == "it")
{window.location.replace("index_it.html");}
else if (language.value == "ar")
{window.location.replace("index_ar.html");}
else
{window.location.replace("index_en.html");}},
function ()
{
alert('Error getting language\n');
}
);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Problem here, is that language received from Android will have different format, for example instead of Russian with code ru it will return русский

Add nfc tag listener in NFC enabled Android application with PhoneGap

I am writing an application for read the mifare card from my native android application.For this purpose I am using phonegap 1.9.0.
I have added the phonegap-nfc plugins.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="phonegap-nfc.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function onLoad()
{
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
}
function onDeviceReady()
{
// Here I want to write my code for tag listener.
}
Now In phonegap blog,they are discussing about adding a nfc tag listener.
But it is not fully clear.So please tell me how to add event listener in my code.
It's all right there in the blog post. For example:
nfc.addNdefListener(
function() {
document.write("Found an NDEF formatted tag");
},
function() {
console.log("Success.");
},
function() {
console.log("Fail.");
}

PhoneGap Android jQuery Mobile app runs on device without CSS/JS

I've got a Phonegap (Cordova 2.0.0) app, built for Android, running with jQuery Mobile + Backbone.js. When I test it on the emulator, it works correctly (runs as in the browser, CSS and JS appear, etc).
When I sign it and install it on a non-debug device, it runs but without the CSS and JS (so basically shows an unstyled HTML document which doesn't run the JS).
The body of my app is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My App</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no;" />
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="libraries/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/style.css" />
<script src="http://localhost:8080/target/target-script-min.js#anonymous"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="libraries/cordova-2.0.0-ios.js"></script>
<script src="libraries/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="libraries/underscore.js"></script>
<script src="libraries/backbone-min.js"></script>
<script src="libraries/backbone.localStorage-min.js"></script>
<script src="libraries/detect.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="libraries/sha1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="app.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var jqmReady = $.Deferred();
var deviceReady = $.Deferred();
/**
* on load - manages dependency between jquery mobile and phonegap
*/
function onBodyLoad()
{
// get device
$.os = {};
$.os.android = navigator.platform.indexOf("android")>=0;
$.os.ios = navigator.platform.indexOf("iPhone")>=0 || navigator.platform.indexOf("iPad")>=0;
// listen to device ready
if ($.os.android || $.os.ios) {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", deviceReady.resolve, false);
}
else {
// must be in a browser, so immediately resolve
deviceReady.resolve();
}
}
$(document).bind("mobileinit", jqmReady.resolve);
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() { console.log('mobileinit'); });
$(document).bind('pageinit', function() { console.log('pageinit'); });
// when jquery mobile and device ready, then fire
$.when(jqmReady, deviceReady).then(function() {
console.log('Ready');
// disable push state: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.1/docs/pages/page-links.html
$.mobile.pushStateEnabled = false;
App.init();
});
onBodyLoad();
</script>
</head>
<body onload="" data-lat="" data-lng="">
Has anyone come across this before? I was wondering if it's something to do with the relative paths (rather than absolute?) or how I package it together in Eclipse. Also, on an iPhone it works fine.
Thanks.

deviceready won't fire in Phonegap 1.0.0 on Android

I've tried to setup Phonegap on Android and deviceready won't fire. The reason is that DeviceInfo.uuid is always null/undefined.
It seems like the non-javascript parts of phonegap isn't loaded correctly, but I can't see exactly what. For everything outside the www directory I'm using the code provided in the sample directory of the phonegap download.
Anyone know what may be causing this?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no;" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="javascripts/phonegap-1.0.0.js"></script>
<script src="http://debug.phonegap.com/target/target-script-min.js#something"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function onBodyLoad() {
var initialize = function() {
window.console.log("deviceready||resume");
};
document.addEventListener("deviceready", initialize);
document.addEventListener("resume", initialize);
window.console.log("onBodyLoad!");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onBodyLoad()">
<h1>Herro World</h1>
</body>
</html>
In case someone else stumble on this problem.
I hadn't realized that phonegap-1.0.0.js is different for the iPhone and Android version. It has the same name, but the content is different. Thus, one must load the correct file. I solved it like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Atrocious way of loading two diffent phonegap scripts, but other loading methods won't work.
// also there shouldn't be two scripts to begin with -- so much for cross-platform.
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (userAgent.match(/android/)) {
document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='javascripts\/phonegap-android-1.0.0.js'><\/script>");
} else {
document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src='javascripts\/phonegap-iphone-1.0.0.js'><\/script>");
}
</script>
If you want some function to execute when the device is ready do something like this
document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, true);
// PhoneGap is now ready
function onDeviceReady() {
// Write your code here
}
I am not sure why your code is not working.Try placing the document.addEventListener outside the scope of the function.
