# Overview

# Local Notifications

Local notifications are a way for an application that is not running in the foreground to let users know that it has information for them. When invoked, the application either displays a banner message or an alert dialog with a Close button to dismiss and an Open button to bring the application into the foreground. The application can also modify the icon badge, to show the number of pending notifications, and generate a sound.

To send a local notification, the application needs to:

Enroll the application to send local notifications with the Titanium.App.iOS.registerUserNotificationSettings method.
Schedule a local notification with the Titanium.App.iOS.scheduleLocalNotification method.
Monitor the Titanium.App.iOS.notification event to respond to the notification.

For instructions on sending local interactive notifications, see the iOS Local Notifications guide (opens new window).

# Local Interactive Notifications

You can create interactive notifications, where users can respond to application notifications without launching the application to the foreground. The user needs to reveal notification actions in the notification, then press a notification action to respond to the notification.

To create an interactive notification, the application needs to:

Create and configure notification actions with the Titanium.App.iOS.createUserNotificationAction method.
Create notification categories and assign notification actions to them with the Titanium.App.iOS.createUserNotificationCategory method.
Register the notification categories with the Titanium.App.iOS.registerUserNotificationSettings method.
Monitor the Titanium.App.iOS.localnotificationaction event.

For instructions on sending local interactive notifications, see the iOS Local Notifications guide (opens new window).

# Background Downloads

In iOS 7, Apple introduced new background execution modes which allow the application to download content in the background. These background modes are supported in Titanium SDK 3.2.0 and later.

For more information on getting started, refer to the iOS Background Services guide (opens new window).

# Handoff User Activities

Handoff allows you to create and transfer user activies from one device to another. For example, you can start editing a document on your phone, then transfer the activity to your iPad to continue editing the document.

To make an activity shareable, use the Titanium.App.iOS.UserActivity API to create the activity. To continue the activity on another device, listen for the Titanium.App.iOS.continueactivity event.

# Index Application Content

In iOS 9 and later, Apple lets you index application content, such as music, videos, images and documents, to allow it to be searched in iOS Spotlight. To effectively add and remove information from the iOS search index you will need to use the following APIs:

Titanium.App.iOS.SearchableItemAttributeSet - Used to create metadata related to the Ti.App.iOS.SearchableItem
Titanium.App.iOS.SearchableItem - Used to assemble metadata into a unique object package to be used by Ti.App.iOS.SearchableIndex
Titanium.App.iOS.SearchableIndex - Used to add and remove Ti.App.iOS.SearchableItem objects to the device search index

# backgroundfetch

Availability

3.2.0

9.2.0

Fired when the application is woken up for a fetch operation. Available only on iOS 7 and later.

Add this event if your app supports the fetch UIBackground mode. When an opportunity arises to download data, the system fires this event to give your app a chance to download any data it needs. Your callback of this event should download the data, prepare that data for use, and call the endBackgroundHandler method with the handlerID parameter from this event.

When this event is fired, your app has up to 30 seconds of wall-clock time to perform the download operation and call the endBackgroundHandler method. In practice, your app should call the endBackgroundHandler method as soon as possible after initiating the download. If you do not call the endBackgroundHandler method in time, your app is suspended. More importantly, the system uses the elapsed time to calculate power usage and data costs for your app's background downloads. If your app takes a long time to call endBackgroundHandler method, it may be given fewer future opportunities to fetch data in the future.

If you are downloading large content, initiate the download using a Modules.URLSession background download task, then call the endBackgroundHandler method. Listen for the downloadcompleted event to prepare the data for use.

The event returns the dictionary containing the handlerID property, which is a unique handler ID for the current event. This identifier should be passed as the argument to the endBackgroundHandler method.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
handlerId	String	Unique string identifier for the `backgroundfetch` event. This identifier should be passed as the argument to the endBackgroundHandler method.
source	Object	Source object that fired the event.
type	String	Name of the event fired.
bubbles	Boolean	True if the event will try to bubble up if possible.
cancelBubble	Boolean	Set to true to stop the event from bubbling.

# silentpush

Availability

3.2.0

9.2.0

Fired when the application is woken up by a silent remote notification. Available only on iOS 7 and later.

Add this event if your app supports the remote-notification UIBackground mode. This event is intended as a means for apps to minimize the time that elapses between the user seeing a push notification and the app displaying the associated data. When a push notification arrives, the system displays the notification to the user and launches the app in the background (if needed) so that it can call this event. Use this event to download any data related to the push notification. When your method is done, call the endBackgroundHandler method with handlerID parameter from this event.

The system fires this event regardless of the state of your app. If your app is suspended or not running, the system wakes up or launches your app and puts it into the background running state before firing the event.

You can send extra information with a silent push using extra:

{
  aps: {
    'content-available': 1
  },
  extra: {
    foo: 'bar'
  }
}

In the event handler for silentpush, your code may look something like this:

{
  "handlerId": "SilentPush-1415976886.375816",
  "aps": {
    "content-available": 1,
  },
  "extra": {
    "foo": "bar"
  },
  "bubbles": true,
  "type": "silentpush",
  "source": {},
  "cancelBubble": false
}

Properties

Name	Type	Description
handlerId	String	Unique string identifier for the `silentpush` event. This identifier should be passed as the argument to the endBackgroundHandler method.
source	Object	Source object that fired the event.
type	String	Name of the event fired.
bubbles	Boolean	True if the event will try to bubble up if possible.
cancelBubble	Boolean	Set to true to stop the event from bubbling.

# backgroundtransfer

Availability

3.2.0

9.2.0

Fired when the events related to a Modules.URLSession are waiting to be processed. Available only on iOS 7 and later.

The app fires this events when all background transfers associated with a urlSession object have finished or failed. Use this method to reconnect any urlSessions and to update your app's user interface. For example, you might use this method to update progress indicators or to incorporate new content into your views. After processing the events, call the endBackgroundHandler method with the handlerID parameter. If a urlSession finishes its work when your app is not running, the system launches your app in the background so that it can process the event. In that situation, use the provided identifier to create a new urlSessionConfiguration and urlSession objects. Upon creating urlSession object, that object calls the appropriate delegate methods to process the events.

If your app already has a session object with the specified identifier and is running or suspended, you do not need to create a new session object using this method. Suspended apps are moved into the background. As soon as the app is running again, the urlSession object with the identifier receives the events and processes them normally.

At launch time, the app does not call this method if there are uploads or downloads in progress. If you want to display the current progress of those transfers in your app's user interface, you must recreate the session object yourself. In that situation, cache the session identifier value persistently and use it to recreate your session object.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
handlerId	String	Unique string identifier for the `backgroundtransfer` event. This identifier should be passed as the argument to the endBackgroundHandler method.
sessionId	String	The identifier of the URL session requiring attention. If your app was just launched, you can use this identifier to create a new `urlSession` object that can receive the events.
source	Object	Source object that fired the event.
type	String	Name of the event fired.
bubbles	Boolean	True if the event will try to bubble up if possible.
cancelBubble	Boolean	Set to true to stop the event from bubbling.

Fired to indicate that all messages enqueued for a Modules.URLSession have been delivered. Available only on iOS 7 and later.

This event only needs to be used if your app is using the urlSession module to download data.

In iOS, when a background transfer completes and if your app is no longer running, your app is automatically relaunched in the background, and the app fires the backgroundtransfer event. This event should contain the identifier of the session that caused your app to be launched. Your app should then store that handlerID before creating a background session configuration object with the same identifier, and creating a url session object with that configuration. The newly created session is automatically reassociated with ongoing background activity.

When your app later receives a sessioneventscompleted event, this indicates that all messages previously enqueued for this session have been delivered, and that it is now safe to invoke endBackgroundHandler method with the handlerID or to begin any internal updates that may result in invoking this method.
