Cordova plugin for Medux SDK Agent

Integrated solution with Medux SDK Agent for Cordova (Apache Cordova) and Ionic Cordova applications

Release notes

v1.0.43

Android

• Added config setting "isAutoSdkUpdateEnabled" to enable/disable Android SDK version auto-update. If this setting is true, the plugin will receive the latest available Speedchecker Android SDK version. To get the latest version, run console command "cordova prepare android" in your cordova project. If "isAutoSdkUpdateEnabled" is set to false, SDK version will remain the same all the time.

How to use

Use the following (sample) functions in index.js:

To start speed test by event (e.g. button click):

Plugin includes "startTest" function, which has following signature:

startTest = function (
    onFinished,
    onError,
    onReceivedServers = function (obj) { },
    onPingStarted = function () { },
    onPingFinished = function (obj) { },
    onDownloadStarted = function () { },
    onDownloadProgress = function (obj) { },
    onDownloadFinished = function (obj) { },
    onUploadStarted = function () { },
    onUploadProgress = function (obj) { },
    onUploadFinished = function (obj) { },
) {...}

You need to implement these functions in index.js, similar to these sample functions startSpeedTest() and setStatus() below:

function startSpeedTest() {

    setStatus("Test started");
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.startTest(
        // onFinished
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Test finished <br>ping: ' + obj.ping.toFixed() + ' ms<br> packetLoss: ' + obj.packetLoss.toFixed() +  '<br>download speed: ' + obj.downloadSpeed.toFixed(2) + ' Mbps' + '<br>upload speed: ' + obj.uploadSpeed.toFixed(2) + ' Mbps<br> jitter: ' + obj.jitter + '<br>connectionType: ' + obj.connectionType + '<br>server: ' + obj.server + '<br>ip: ' + obj.ipAddress + '<br>isp: ' + obj.ispName + '<br>timestamp: ' + obj.timestamp);
        },
        //onError
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
            setStatus('error code: ' + err.code);
        },
        //onReceivedServers
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Received servers');
        },
        //onPingStarted
        function() {
            console.log('Ping started');
            setStatus('Ping started');
        },
        //onPingFinished
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Ping: ' + obj.ping.toFixed() + ' ms');
        },
        //onDownloadStarted
        function() {
            console.log('Download started');
            setStatus('Download started');
        },
        //onDownloadProgress
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Download progress: ' + obj.progress.toFixed(0) + ' %' + '<br>speed: ' + obj.downloadSpeed.toFixed(2) + ' Mbps');
        },
        //onDownloadFinished
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Download speed: ' + obj.downloadSpeed.toFixed(2) + ' Mbps');
        },
        //onUploadStarted
        function() {
            console.log('Upload started');
            setStatus('Upload started');
        },
        //onUploadProgress
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Upload progress: ' + obj.progress.toFixed(0) + ' %' + '<br>speed: ' + obj.uploadSpeed.toFixed(2) + ' Mbps');
        },
        //onUploadFinished
        function(obj) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
            setStatus('Upload speed: ' + obj.uploadSpeed.toFixed(2) + ' Mbps');
        }
    )
}

function setStatus(text) {
    document.getElementById("log").innerHTML = text;
}

To enable/disable background network test:

function setBackgroundNetworkTesting(isEnabled) {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.setBackgroundNetworkTesting(
        isEnabled,
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}

To receive background network test status:

function getBackgroundNetworkTestingEnabled() {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.getBackgroundNetworkTestingEnabled(
        function(enabled) {
            console.log('Background tests enabled: ' + enabled);
        },
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}

To set/get/remove MSISDN value:

function getMSISDN() {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.getMSISDN(
        function(msisdn) {
            console.log('Current MSISDN is ' + msisdn);
        },
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}

function setMSISDN(value) {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.setMSISDN(
        value,
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}

function removeMSISDN() {
    setMSISDN(null);
}

To set/get/remove UserID value:

function getUserID() {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.getUserID(
        function(userID) {
            console.log('Current UserID is ' + userID);
        },
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}

function setUserID(value) {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.setUserID(
        value,
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}

function removeUserID() {
    setUserID(null);
}

To get DeviceUniqueID value:

function getDeviceUniqueID() {
    SpeedCheckerPlugin.getUniqueID(
        function(uniqueID) {
            console.log('Current Unique deviceID is ' + uniqueID);
        },
        function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    )
}
