I am working with real time tracking application using react-native.
And want the accuracy Uber and Swiggy and other tracking application do.
I am using react-native-geolocation-service, but not getting accuracy like Uber.
I just want to know how Uber track realtime? Does they request to server every single second?
Because there position is moving continuously, which is not possible in my app. I am saving coordinates after every 15 seconds.
Please suggest what can I use for making accurate path?
And what does Uber and other tacking apps used for tracking? And how they get realtime data for every single second?
For getting real time location you can use paid services like https://www.navixy.com/. I have used this service year ago and they are providin lot of functionalities track Android device with their API's.
Try Firebase Realtime database or cloud firestore. It works like realtime data update.
Store lat long on firestore/database whenever there is change in position and within a second you will be able to get those data on other end.
It is having nice performance when it comes to real time data update. I have used it with one of the native application before a year.
For react native, you can use Geolocation api which is having watchposition method. It will be invoked whenever there is location change.

Good evening everyone .
I am developing a react native app by interfacing to a database via endpoint (specifically aws).
Now on loading the dashboard I retrieve this data via API , save it in local storage and show it to the user.
Now from the management system, there could be some changes to this data that I show on the app, so what I was interested in knowing was if it was possible to create a sort of listener that calls my API whenever there are changes in the DB. I ask this because I would like to avoid calling the API every time a user lands on the dashboard and I would like to avoid calling the API every XXX minutes if there is no reason (if the data has not changed).
Is there any way to create an event listener? It would also be enough for me to be directed on what exactly to look for.
Thanks in advance for your availability
I'm trying to make a simple app using Flutter, cryptocurrency price tracker. Using this API to retrieve a data. That how it looks:
The problem is, it only retrieves the latest data and do not updates as the price changes every time. It will change only after restarting an app. I was thinking to add a floating refresh button but i seems an old school. SO my aim is to let it update the price by itself,in real time(LIVE) without USER doing something, every time there is a change in price. My question is, what technology is behind this ? How could I implement this ? What should I Google in order to find the required knowledge ? Who could give me the right direction to think and learn. I don't really know the special terminology for this concepts, tried my best to explain the question. Thnx!
How could I implement this ?
Following are the steps that you need to follow.
Create a stateful widget with a Periodic Timer object. setup the timer value, say 10 seconds.
Now you will get a callback for every 10 seconds. So, from that callback method, simply call the API end point to fetch the latest data.
Use setState method to show the latest data on the UI.
Thats all, now your app will refresh the data by its own for every 10 seconds without any user interaction.
You can use web sockets.

This will let you push updates to the client without polling in real time.
I want to create a real-time application ( for e.g. a stock market app) in react native.
Currently I don't know any other way other than to use setInterval(), I am fetching data from a third party API.
So is there any way or third party tool available which gives real time data without using setInterval from a REST source?

Streaming Data Updates
You might have noticed that the todos are displaying fine, except you’re unable to view updated todos without refreshing the app. In this final step, we’re going to fit that missing part of the puzzle.
In the previous section, we added an onAllData method for the ReactiveList component. The second parameter of onAllData receives streaming updates which we’re going to utilize to always keep the todos updated. Here’s how the updated onAllData method will look like in components/TodosContainer.js.
Answer to my problem is the below post.

Building a simple application which restricts usage based on the date. For example, you can only view a page 3 times per day.
However, if I use the device time, users can change their time and then view these pages again.
Is there another best practice method of doing so? Trying to avoid a call to the server. Using react-native. Thanks
Best practice is only use server time.
you can use following lib
https://github.com/artem-russkikh/react-native-clock-sync
This is kinda tricky without hitting the server.

Let's assume that the first time they open your app the user date is correct. (I really don't know any other way checking that in an offline way)
That moment we need to save the current timestamp to the localstorage (called AsyncStorafe in RN).
solution
The only way you can really be sure that the timestamp is correct is keep a task that counts every seconds/minute/hours, whatever is logical in your situation.
issue
Doing this in react native won't get you that far, but we are able to make a Java background service for example that we start as soon as the app closes. Here you should keep up with the time and save this when the app launches to a place where it's also accessible from react native (not sure if AsyncStorage is).
Info
Here you can find some information about bavkground tasks in RN: https://hackernoon.com/easy-os-background-tasks-in-react-native-bc4476c48b8a?source=linkShare-cdf0b7d5ccb4-1538965801
The most secure amd easy way of time cheat prevention is by hitting the server vut if that's not a possibility that this may be a interesting way to still check it. Good luck!
Is-it possible to get the user's current playing track with Deezer API?
I've tried to use history but it seems to get 1 or 2 minutes before adding the last track... No way to get it real time?
I'm working on iOS app.
There are no real time updates for now in the Deezer API. Using the listening history is the right way to proceed.
If you absolutely need real time, you may use Facebook as an intermediary since they have real time updates for the Deezer users who publish their music activity on Facebook.
