i need to recieve popup when bluetooth device in my range u just see the whatsapp it show popup when gt new texts like that

whats app is using push notifications to inform you about new messages.

I think that will not work to put your app in foreground if another device is in bluetooth range.

For this it’s possible to us:
https://github.com/Diusrex/cordova-toforeground in combinaison with
https://github.com/jimibi/cordova-plugin-powermanagement
the first plugin put the application in foreground and the second wake up the phone if it’s in sleeping mode.

toForeground(mainClassName, packageName, successFunction, errorFunction);

here it take arguments wich class or name we want to define??

sajith · November 18, 2014, 5:57am

window.plugins.toForeground(mainClassName, packageName, successFunction, errorFunction);

is it rite???

Ordinary cordova plugins are on $window.cordova.plugins.
($window is the correct angular “window” object)

But this one - you could see it here:

var exec = require('cordova/exec');

Puts the function directly on the window object.
Try $window.toForeground or only toForeground.

mainClass should be the name of the main android java class of your app.
And packageName is the package where it belongs to … something like com.company.package…

because the plugin need to execute the correct android app.

toForeground(‘StarterApp’, ‘com.ionicframework.starter’, sucFunction, errAlert);

Are you sure of your class Name and your package name. Can you send me your androidmanifest?

$window.toForeground(‘voucherPoint’, ‘com.ionicframework.voucherPoint2901’, sucFunction, errAlert);
