Cordova Silent Mode

I've forked this project from francois-p-peloquin, khevamann and jetstream. The app plays a sound on loop to determine if silent mode is on or off, it's pretty noticable on older phones. Added the ability to turn the looping sound off and on. I also exchanged the sound to something that is more silent.

This Cordova plugin checks if the phone ringer has been set to silent mode. Please note that this only works for iOS at the moment.

Installation

cordova plugin add https://github.com/mayainle/cordova-silent-mode

If using PhoneGap add the following to your config.xml

<plugin name="cordova-silent-mode" spec="https://github.com/mayainle/cordova-silent-mode" />

Usage

//Must be run before you wish to start observing changes
SilentMode.init();
SilentMode.isMuted(
	function() { //Callback
		console.log('mute enabled'); 
	}, function() {  //Callback
		console.log('mute disabled'); 
	});
// stop looping
SilentMode.pauseLoop();
// resume it again
SilentMode.resumeLoop();

Other Use Example - Listener Library - ringer.js

var Ringer = function(data) {
	data = typeof data !== 'object' ? {} : data;
	for (var i in data) {
		this[i] = data[i];
	}
	this.init();
};

Ringer.prototype = {
	t: false,
	dur: 200,
	init: function() {
		var Obj = this;
		SilentMode.init();
	},
	check_ringer: function(call) {
		var Obj = this;
		call = typeof call === 'function' ? call : function() {};
		SilentMode.isMuted(function() {
			Obj.cur = true;
			call();
    	},function() {
    		Obj.cur = false;
			call();
    	});
	},
	listen_change: function(call) {
		var Obj = this;
		call = typeof call === 'function' ? call : function() {};
		
		var func = function(r) {
			Obj.t = setInterval(function() {
				Obj.check_ringer(function() {
					if (r != Obj.cur) {
						call();
						clearInterval(Obj.t);
					}
				});
			},Obj.dur);
		};
		if (typeof Obj.cur === 'undefined') {
			Obj.check_ringer(function() {
				var r = Obj.cur;
				func(r);
			});
		}
		else {
			var r = Obj.cur;
			func(r);
		}
	},
	end: function() {
		var Obj = this;
		clearInterval(Obj.t);
	},
};

And then...

$$(document).on('deviceready',function() {
	var Ring = new Ringer(); //Will run the Ringer.init() function
	
	//Time passes, other tasks accomplished
	
	Ring.listen_change(function() {
		console.log('the ringer position has changed');
	});
	
	//This would kill the loop checker so you don't bog down the system
	//Ring.end(); 
});
