Interface ProximityListener

public interface ProximityListener

This interface represents a listener to events associated with detecting proximity to some registered coordinates. Applications implement this interface and register it with a static method in LocationProvider to obtain notifications when proximity to registered coordinates is detected.

This listener is called when the terminal enters the proximity of the registered coordinates. The proximity is defined as the proximity radius around the coordinates combined with the horizontal accuracy of the current sampled location.

The listener is called only once when the terminal enters the proximity of the registered coordinates. The registration with these coordinates is canceled when the listener is called. If the application wants to be notified again about these coordinates, it must re-register the coordinates and the listener.

Method Summary

void	monitoringStateChanged(boolean isMonitoringActive) Called to notify that the state of the proximity monitoring has changed.
void	proximityEvent(Coordinates coordinates, Location location) After registering this listener with the LocationProvider, this method will be called by the platform when the implementation detects that the current location of the terminal is within the defined proximity radius of the registered coordinates.

Method Detail

monitoringStateChanged

void monitoringStateChanged(boolean isMonitoringActive)

Called to notify that the state of the proximity monitoring has changed. These state changes are delivered to the application as soon as possible after the state of the monitoring changes.

Regardless of the state, the ProximityListener remains registered until the application explicitly removes it with LocationProvider.removeProximityListener or the application exits.

These state changes may be related to state changes of some location providers, but this is implementation dependent as implementations can freely choose the method used to implement this proximity monitoring.

Parameters:

isMonitoringActive - a boolean indicating the new state of the proximity monitoring. true indicates that the proximity monitoring is active and false indicates that the proximity monitoring can't be done currently.

proximityEvent

void proximityEvent(Coordinates coordinates,
                    Location location)

After registering this listener with the LocationProvider, this method will be called by the platform when the implementation detects that the current location of the terminal is within the defined proximity radius of the registered coordinates.

Parameters:

coordinates - the registered coordinates to which proximity has been detected

location - the current location of the terminal monitoringStateChanged
