[jira] [Created] (CB-509) geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the
GPS down under iOS
geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the GPS down under iOS
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-509
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-509
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: Bug
Components: iOS
Affects Versions: 1.6.0
Reporter: Andrea Zicchetti
Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.6.1
Calling navigator.geolocation.clearWatch doesn't shut the GPS down.
It's no longer possible to manually invoke geolocation.stop() (and thus the corresponding stopLocation function in CDVLocation), which was a temporary solution with previous phonegap/cordova versions.
It's quite a problem because an application using the GPS even for a short amount of time will completely drain the battery in a few hours.

Filip Maj resolved CB-509.
--------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Verified that the fix for CB-359 fixed this issue. No longer valid.

------------------------------
Related to this, I'm planning on landing a W3C-compliant rewrite of geolocation in cordova in 1.7 (tracked in CB-359). Includes a native iOS component. I would like to make sure that when I merge that in next week this bug is also covered.

-------------------------------------
Ok I'll remove the 'depends on'. I'll add a stop interface function you can call in 1.7 in Obj-C.

Hugo commented on CB-509:
-------------------------
Most likely same root cause, but the same symptoms occur when simply using getCurrentPosition() to get a single fix. Once the GPS kicks in, the only way to get it to stop is to suspend the app...unless your app registers for background location updates, in which case your batteries will be out in ~5hrs (ugh!!).

Andrea Zicchetti commented on CB-509:
-------------------------------------
Thank you very much, it works like a charm.
For people reading this: the GPS is not switched off immediately, so don't worry if the GPS icon "survives" the stopLocation call (it's a iOS thing I suppose).
Try minimizing your app for a few instants to see the results.

------------------------------
Hey all,
Related to this, CB-359 won't land until 1.8 (since we don't want to drop new features in 1.7). Probably should remove the "depends on" to that issue in here if you still want to land this for 1.7.

Shazron Abdullah updated CB-509:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.7.0)
1.8.0
Not going to resolve this until 1.8.0 with the new implementation, since adding the stopLocation interface does not really fix this bug, but is a work-around.
In 1.7.0, you can do this for iOS:
{code}
cordova.exec(null, null, "Location", "stopLocation", []);
{code}
