变量被绑定到getCurrentLocation函数的回调。 为什么关闭不起作用？

Question

I apologize for the amount of code, but I think this is actually a problem with AppMobi's getCurrentLocation function. Basically what happens is I delegate a tap event to each list element. Then when you tap it, it runs an asynchronous getCurrentLocation and updates some stuff. Then the next time you tap another list element, the variables bound in the callback of the getCurrentLocation Function only refer to the first time it was called. Why doesn't this work??

app = { events: [{text: "foo", time: new Date()}, {text: "bar", time: new Date()}] };
$(document).ready(refreshEvents);

function refreshEvents() {
    for (var index in app.events) {
        insertEventHTML(app.events[index]);
    }
}

function insertEventHTML(event) {
    var text = event.text;
    var time = event.time;

    var new_element = $('<li class="event_element"></li>');
    var new_checkin_element = $('<div class="check_in_button"></div>');

    new_checkin_element.bind('tap', function(e) {
        check_in(e);
        fade($(this), 1.0);
    });
    new_element.append(new_checkin_element);

    var text_element = $('<div class="text_element">' + text + '</div>');
    new_element.append(text_element);
    var time_element = $('<div class="time_element">' + time + '</div>');
    new_element.append(time_element);
    $('#your_events').append(new_element);
}

function check_in(e) {
    $(e.target).siblings('.time_element').text('just now');
    var time = new Date();                   // time and event_index are the trouble variables here
    var event_index = getEventIndex(e);      // the first time this function runs, event_index is correct
                                             // then each subsequent time, it remains the same value as the first
    if (!app.settings.use_location) {
        app.events[event_index].times.unshift({time: time, location: null});
    } else {
        AppMobi.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onLocationFound, errorFunction);
    }

    function onLocationFound(response) {    
        var lat = response.coords.latitude;
        var lon = response.coords.longitude;
        var last_time = app.events[event_index].times[0];

        if (last_time != undefined && last_time.time == time) {
            // event_index and time here will only ever refer to the first time it was called.  WHY??? 
            add_checkin(response, event_index, time);        
        }else{
            console.log('onLocationFound was called twice');
        }
    }

    function errorFunction(error) {
        $.ui.popup({title: 'geolocation error', message: 'Geolocation error.  Turn off location services in settings.'});
    }

    function add_checkin(response, event_index, time) {
        // and then of course event_index and time are wrong here as well.  I don't get it.
        app.events[event_index].times.unshift(
        {
            time: time, 
            location: {
                latitude: response.coords.latitude,
                longitude: response.coords.longitude
            }
        });
        AppMobi.cache.setCookie('app', JSON.stringify(app), -1);
    }
}

function getEventIndex(e) {
    var target = $(e.target).parent();
    var siblings = target.parent().children('li');
    for (var i = 0; i < siblings.length; i++) {
        if ($(target)[0].offsetTop == $(siblings[i])[0].offsetTop) {
            return i;
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Well, your issue seems to be that you are declaring a private variable event_index inside the check_in function and try to resolve it's value by accessing a global event_index variable inside onLocationFound .

Here's what you could do instead:

AppMobi.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (response) {
   onLocationFound(response, event_index);
}, errorFunction);

function onLocationFound(response, event_index) { //... }

EDIT:

it is declared within check_in...

You are right, I totally missed that somehow. Well in that case it's very unlikely that the event_index variable inside onLocationFound isin't the same as in check_in . Do a console.log(event_index) inside onLocationFound and it should be the same. The only way it could be different is if you modify the local variable before the handler is called, which you doesn't seem to do, or if getCurrentPosition stores the first handler somehow and ignores subsequent handlers, but this API wouldn't make any sense.

EDIT 2:

As we suspect the handler might not be registered correctly the second time, I would suggest to check this way:

function check_in() {
    if (!check_in.called) {
        check_in.called = true;
        check_in.onLocationFound = onLocationFound;
    }

    //...

    function onLocationFound() {
        console.log(arguments.callee === check_in.onLocationFound);
    }
}

You can also simple do onLocationFound.version = new Date() and check arguments.callee.version to see if it stays the same.

I know you marked this answered already but....it might not actually be a problem with the library. Can I direct you to a post by @Joel Anair where he has posted an article and the example number five seems to be the "gotcha" which might have gotcha ;)

How do JavaScript closures work?

Basically in the for loop they are all being set to the same reference of i so event_index will all be the same value/reference. (which explains why they're all the same).
