How to integrate Gimbal SDK with Cordova-based app?

Question

I am creating a mobile app using gimbal beacon, apache cordova and ionic framework.

Based on quickstart tutorial from Gimbal Doc , i've created sample "Hello Gimbal Android" app with their android SDK which can be downloaded from gimbal manager .

This simple app can detect gimbal beacon while we visit or leave place/beacon.

Now, i'm continue to integrate this sample "Hello Gimbal Android" app (which is build in java with gimbal SDK) with my cordova-based app (which i develop with HTML, CSS and Javascript) .

I found cordova gimbal plugin but unfortunately it only support on iOS. Should i create my own cordova plugin for android?

Anyone has experience before?

Answer 1

This link supports Gimbal 2 within Phonegap/Cordova... and supports Android and iOS. Gimbal 2 is BLE, so the Android and iOS OS must be at a level where BLE is implemented.

I'm in the process of trying to make this work in Phonegap. I will update when I do.
