onGeofence - not fired android in debug mode

[nisharafic001]

Hi,

I want to test in debug mode before purchasing licence. I try to implment the provided sample the geofence is not fireing. may i know what is missing. here is the log and sample code.

Sample Code

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text, StyleSheet, Alert } from 'react-native';
import BackgroundGeolocation from 'react-native-background-geolocation';

const HomeScreen = () => {
useEffect(() => {

// Listen to geofence events
BackgroundGeolocation.onGeofence(geofence => {
  console.log("[geofence] ", geofence);
  if (geofence.identifier == "DANGER_ZONE") {
    if (geofence.action == "ENTER") {
      // Entering the danger-zone, we want to aggressively track location.
      BackgroundGeolocation.start();
    } else if (geofence.action == "EXIT") {
      // Exiting the danger-zone, we resume geofences-only tracking.
      BackgroundGeolocation.startGeofences();
    }
  }
})

// Add a geofence.
BackgroundGeolocation.addGeofence({
  identifier: "DANGER_ZONE",
  radius: 1000,
  latitude: 45.51921926,
  longitude: -73.61678581,
  notifyOnEntry: true,
  notifyOnExit: true,
})

// Ready the plugin.
BackgroundGeolocation.ready({
  desiredAccuracy: BackgroundGeolocation.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
  distanceFilter: 10,
  autoSync: true
}, state => {
  BackgroundGeolocation.startGeofences();
})

// Clean up on unmount
return () => {
};

}, []);

return (

Geofence Tracking Enabled

Enter or exit the defined DANGER_ZONE (1km radius) to trigger events.


);
};

export default HomeScreen;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
padding: 24,
backgroundColor: '#f2f2f2',
},
title: {
fontSize: 22,
fontWeight: 'bold',
marginBottom: 12,
},
description: {
fontSize: 16,
textAlign: 'center',
color: '#666',
},
});

Seeking support at the demo app repo is not ideal. It’s best to post an issue at the plug-in repo instead.

Are you testing on emulator or real device. Geofences don’t work well in emulator. It’s best to test on real device.
