On behave of Ya-Chieh Wu <[email protected]>
Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216148
Symptom:
There is no specific way to indicate if an application wants to use GPS in
the background. Currently, we don’t stop GPS when application goes to
background which might result in increase in battery use. On Android and
iOS, getting GPS in the background is not a default behavior.
Summarize the solutions which we brought up here or in Bugzilla before:
(1)add a geolocation choice in wakeLock [1]
window.navigator.requestWakeLock(type)
var lock = window.navigator.requestWakeLock('screen’);
lock.unlock();
(2)add a property in PositionOptions [2]
runInBackground = true, //default is false
id = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(success, error, options);
options = {
enableHighAccuracy: false, //default: false
timeout: 5000, //default: Infinity
maximumAge: 0 //default: Infinity
};
