it looks like it works

[tails2012tim]

hmm... whats that thing at the bottom left part of the screen that says KIO4 location sensor doing there... hmm

[tails2012tim]

ahem. anyways

[SteveJG]

It is an example using an alternative 3rd party LocationSensor. There are aia's that use the native LocationSensor and one using an html method of determining location.
You don't have to use Antonio's alternative.

so does it do the same thing as the other one that @Taifun mentoned?

[SteveJG]

No, his extension runs in the Background, these run in the Foreground. Read the explanation about how it works in the tutorial text.

might work. When you get it working, please tell us how? I don't believe the OneSignal service is free but the extension to link is probably not.

If the CloudDB app is provided to all users, they can see what you see for free when their app is on.

[tails2012tim]

yea idk what i'm doing

[tails2012tim]

i kinda ment like if a condition is met in the app, send a notification

[SteveJG]

sure, use the SignalOne extension and send a notification or once you know what your doing can provide a notification within the app using the CloudDB to all users or if you are clever and one to add a bunch of code to only a specific user.

[tails2012tim]

wait.. i think im on to something with the onesignalpush thing

[tails2012tim]
