I'm trying to get a sample app running using the cordova compass, but each time the error callback is called with error code 3.
I use cordova V4.0 and of course I added the plugin org.apache.cordova.device-orientation. Here's the code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Compass Example</title> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> // The watch id references the current `watchHeading` var gWatchID = null; // Wait for device API libraries to load document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); // device APIs are available function onDeviceReady() { startWatch(); } // Start watching the compass function startWatch() { // Update compass every 3 seconds var options = { frequency: 3000 }; if (!gWatchID) gWatchID = navigator.compass.watchHeading(onSuccess, onError, options); } // Stop watching the compass function stopWatch() { if (gWatchID) { navigator.compass.clearWatch(watchID); gWatchID = null; } } // onSuccess: Get the current heading function onSuccess(heading) { var element = document.getElementById('heading'); element.innerHTML = 'Heading: ' + heading.magneticHeading; } // onError: Failed to get the heading function onError(compassError) { alert('Compass error: ' + compassError.code); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="heading">Waiting for heading...</div> <button onclick="startWatch();">Start Watching</button> <button onclick="stopWatch();">Stop Watching</button> </body> </html>The app is built, deployed and started successfully. But when it is started, only error code 3 is displayed.
According to the documentation only two error code are definded: CompassError.COMPASS_INTERNAL_ERR = 0; CompassError.COMPASS_NOT_SUPPORTED = 20;
So I wonder what's the meaning error code 3? And what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your answers, Dante
