Geofence Monitoring

Geofence Monitoring

Once you have integrated and initialized Locally’s Android and/or iOS EngageSDKs, you’ll be able to monitor location-based marketing for a delimited, actual geographical area (aka a “geofence“)  from right within your app!

Android Applications

For Android Applications, Geofence monitoring can be both started and stopped.

Start Geofence Monitoring

private fun startMonitoring(){
            EngageSDK.startMonitoringGeofences(radius = 500, refresh = 600000) 
        }

Monitor Geofences and Beacons at the Same Time

You can monitor Geofences and Beacons at the same time:

private fun startMonitoring(){
            EngageSDK.startMonitoringGeofences(radius = 500, refresh = 600000)
            EngageSDK.startMonitoringBeacons() //to monitor for nearby beacons 
        }

Stop Geofence Monitoring

private fun stopMonitoring(){
            EngageSDK.stopMonitoringGeofences() 
        }

Listen for Events

To listen for events, set a listener override:

EngageSDK.setEventListener(object: EngageSDK.EventListener {
          override fun beaconCampaignUpdate(campaignContent: CampaignContent, time: String) {}

          override fun beaconUpdate(beacon: Beacon, time: String) {}

          override fun error(message: String, time: String) {}

          override fun geofenceCampaignUpdate(campaignContent: GeofenceCampaign.Campaign, time: String) {}

          override fun impressionUpdate(message: String, time: String) {}

          override fun locationUpdate(location: Location, time: String) {}
      })

iOS Applications

You can call Engage.startMonitoringGeofences from any place in your app.

Engage.initialized = {
	Engage.startMonitoringGeofences()
}

Monitor Geofences and Beacons at the Same Time

You can monitor Geofences and Beacons at the same time:

Engage.initialized = {
Engage.startMonitoringBeacons()
	Engage.startMonitoringGeofences()
}
