I am building an Android app for Android Wear. For battery savings I am trying to use Geofences to track if you enter or exit a location. But I cannot get it working.
First of all I am not sure if Geofences are supported on Android Wear? (Standalone?) I have a Huawei watch 2 LTE which contains a GPS antenne, and I already got the FusedLocationClient working so I know the GPS works. I also got my geofencing code working on the phone with no problems.
When I run the code I get the following exception:
com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 1000:
I found on the Google API documentation that this means: GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE
which gives me no extra info.
This is the service I wrote to start and create the geofence:
public class GeofencingService extends Service implements OnSuccessListener, OnFailureListener {
private static final String TAG = "GeofencingService";
private static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 1;
private GeofencingClient mGeofencingClient;
private List<Geofence> mGeofenceList;
private NotificationManager mNotificationManager;
@Nullable
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mGeofencingClient = LocationServices.getGeofencingClient(this);
mGeofenceList = new ArrayList<>();
createGeofences();
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
showNofification();
setupGeofence();
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mNotificationManager.cancel(NOTIFICATION_ID);
}
private PendingIntent getGeofencePendingIntent()
{
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GeofenceBroadcastReceiver.class);
return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}
private GeofencingRequest getGeofencingRequest() {
GeofencingRequest.Builder builder = new GeofencingRequest.Builder();
// The INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER flag indicates that geofencing service should trigger a
// GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER notification when the geofence is added and if the device
// is already inside that geofence.
builder.setInitialTrigger(INITIAL_TRIGGER_ENTER | INITIAL_TRIGGER_EXIT);
// Add the geofences to be monitored by geofencing service.
builder.addGeofences(mGeofenceList);
// Return a GeofencingRequest.
return builder.build();
}
private void setupGeofence()
{
try{
Log.i(TAG, "Setting up geofences...");
mGeofencingClient.addGeofences(getGeofencingRequest(), getGeofencePendingIntent()).addOnSuccessListener(this).addOnFailureListener(this);
} catch (SecurityException ex)
{
Log.d(TAG, "Exception: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
private void createGeofences()
{
Log.i(TAG, "Creating geofence...");
mGeofenceList.add(new Geofence.Builder()
// Set the request ID of the geofence. This is a string to identify this
// geofence.
.setRequestId("Test1")
// Set the circular region of this geofence.
.setCircularRegion(
50.03535,
4.33139,
100
)
.setExpirationDuration(NEVER_EXPIRE)
// Set the transition types of interest. Alerts are only generated for these
// transition. We track entry and exit transitions in this sample.
.setTransitionTypes(GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER | GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT)
// Create the geofence.
.build());
}
private void showNofification()
{
Intent appIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, appIntent, 0);
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, NotificationCompat.CATEGORY_SERVICE)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle(getText(R.string.location_service_title))
.setContentText(getText(R.string.location_service_text))
.setLocalOnly(true)
.setOngoing(true)
.setContentIntent(contentIntent)
.build();
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
}
@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
Log.d(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
setupGeofence();
}
}, 2000);
}
@Override
public void onSuccess(Object o) {
Log.d(TAG, "Success!");
}
}
Here is also a github link to the example I wrote.
Hopefully somebody can help me figure this out, because I already tried everything I know :)
As you read the documentation and see that the error code is corresponding to GEOFENCE_NOT_AVAILABLE
, plus according to @Mr.Rebot comment :
"Not all wear devices have the hardware to support this [...]"
You may assume that GEOFENCE IS NOT AVAILABLE on your Huawei watch 2 device.
You may also ask to Huawei support directly to have confirmation.
