Capacitor & Android Native Bridge Skill This skill enables the assistant to handle the complex interaction between the Web layer (React) and the Native layer (Java/Android) specifically for background tracking. Knowledge Areas 1. Android Foreground Services Lifecycle Management: Start/stop/restart logic for LocationTrackingService.java . Notifications: Maintaining persistent notifications required by Android for foreground tasks. Boot Persistence: Implementing BOOT_COMPLETED receivers to restart tracking on device reboot. 2. Battery & Power Management Wakelocks: Smart management of PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK to balance tracking consistency with battery life. Doze Mode: Using AlarmManager.setExactAndAllowWhileIdle() for reliable 60s intervals. Optimization Whitelisting: Handling REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS . 3. Capacitor Plugin Development Bridge Communication: Efficiently passing data between ProTrackingPlugin.java and React. Native-to-Web Events: Using notifyListeners for real-time status updates in the UI. 4. Background Geolocation Providers: Fine-tuning FusedLocationProviderClient settings (Priority, Interval, FastestInterval). Permissions: Managing granular location permissions (Fine, Background) and notification permissions. Guidelines for Responses When modifying Java code, ensure Thread Safety (especially for network calls and location updates). Always recommend releasing Wakelocks when the GPS fix is obtained or if a timeout occurs. Suggest exponential backoff for failed HTTP requests in LocationApiClient.java . Keep in mind Android 14+ requirements (Foreground Service Types).
