Donbelar,  
The problem is not solved. I will try with ionic 2 ( angular 2 and type script later ) since my previous trial was based on ionic 1

@alanemhio.  
Did you finish your work with Ionic 2?  
If you solve your origin problem with Ionic 2, please tell me how to solve that.  
In fact, I created my code with Ionic 2.  
Thank you and good luck.
