Titanium - Not able to stop iOs background process

Question

I already implement background service for my app. I am using it for getting user current location by using location services.

I will explain the way i implement this - "XYZ.js" - Screen where user distance display. Following code is added to set register background service -

var iService = Ti.App.iOS.registerBackgroundService({
            url : 'BackgroundService.js'
        });

once app go to background, background service start and collect user locations. When app come is at foreground i fired following event -

Ti.App.fireEvent('stopBackgroundService');

In "BackgroundService.js" - there is listener as -

Ti.App.addEventListener('stopBackgroundService',function(){
    Ti.App.currentService.stop();
});

But after finishing this all location base work, when i move to other screen and taking app to background, location services start again. Due to Which device battery drains.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

After playing with it, I solved it by following way - 1. Create global variable as

`Ti.App.BackgroundService`

1. assign service to above variable

2. when location services based work finish, stop and unregister background service as

   Ti.App.BackgroundService.stop();

It works as expected.

Thanks
