In android, background mode code is not working

[iomJvaranam]

Android app in background code is not working, while I enabled the background code in ios the entire code is executing as normal, but on Android, nothing happening. I was using this plugin in ionic 3 application "https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/background-mode/"

Same for me with vanilla cordova.
Background mode is not working on Android

Does anybody know a background mode plugin that works on android?

[iomJvaranam]

I got the solution
Try
this.backgroundMode.on('activate').subscribe(() => { this.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations(); // run your code here });

As I'm on vanilla cordova,
unfortunately your code snippet is not working for me. :-(

[pixelquadrat]

Ok, I got it working with the following code:

cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.on('activate', function() { app.onModeActivated; cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.disableWebViewOptimizations(); cordova.plugins.backgroundMode.moveToBackground(); /* YOUR CODE GOES HERE */ });

But it stops working when the screen is switched off... and yes I told Android to execute the app when the screen is off... But maybe thats just the geolocation part that does not work with switched off screen.

Probably a bit late for you, but a number of the cordova plugins will need to be run on a physical device as they won't work as expected on a browser emulator.

Given that this one is related to background mode and isn't applicable to the browser emulator I'm guessing that is why it wasn't working for you.

Not a problem with the browser emulator:

Testing on an android device (honor 8x, Android 8.1.0), background mode not working.

Development environment:

   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.4, browser 5.0.4, ios 4.5.5
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.3, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.3.1, (and 11 other plugins)

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
   NodeJS            : v10.9.0

you can call the wakeUp method at a given time.

const timer = 4*60*1000; // four minutes
 this.backgroundMode.enable();
 this.backgroundMode.on('activate')
    .subscribe(()=>{
       setInterval(()=>{
            this.backgroundMode.wakeUp();
            this.backgroundMode.moveToForeground();
          },timer);
    });
