Implementation of Roam.ai SDK in NativeScript

RajuChauhan

Working on a POC in NativeScript.

I have successfully implemented the "Roam.ai SDK" in "NativeScript" project for Android.
I can see locations tracked by SDK on dashboard as well.

I am taking "https://github.com/roam-ai/roam-reactnative" as a reference for "NativeScript" because both frameworks are very similar.

Problem 1:-
SDK is showing "true" status for "getListenerStatus()" but not able to get "LocationReceiver" working by adding "receiver" in manifest file.

Problem 2:-
RoamPublish.Builder().build() is also not returning anything.

Please advise.

Thank you
Raju Chauhan

Hey RajuChauhan Even though our RN SDK implementation and Native is similar, we recommend you to use the below example application for your reference.

https://github.com/roam-ai/roam-android/tree/main/Example

Problem 1:-
SDK is showing "true" status for "getListenerStatus()" but not able to get "LocationReceiver" working by adding "receiver" in manifest file.

Even thought you have added Location Receiver in your manifest file, you would need to implement foreground service as per below.
https://docs.roam.ai/android/quickstart#location-listeners
As mentioned in the above document, to listen to location updates create a class that extends RoamReceiver. Then register the receiver by adding a receiver element to the application element in your manifest. You can use the below link as reference.
https://github.com/roam-ai/roam-android/blob/main/Example/app/src/main/java/com/example/roamexample/service/LocationReceiver.java
https://github.com/roam-ai/roam-android/blob/main/Example/app/src/main/java/com/example/roamexample/service/ForegroundService.java

Problem 2:-
RoamPublish.Builder().build() is also not returning anything.

This is clearly explained in the below link.
https://docs.roam.ai/android/pub-sub-locations#publish-messages

You can basically pull the example application and run it by replacing it with your Publishable key and use it as a reference.

If you are still facing any issues, you can schedule a call with the below link and I will be able to assist you with integration.
