How to "Draw Over Other Apps" in Ionic 4 - ionic4

Is there a way to draw over other apps in Ionic 4? I'm building a streaming app and would love to use functionality similar to the google maps app for Android. When "minimized", it draws a smaller window map over other apps.
How can I achieve something similar with Ionic 4?
I have found an old Cordova plugin, so it seems the functionality could be possible, but it seems not to be compatible with ionic 4, but I might be wrong: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/draw-over-all-apps-cordova-plugin-for-android/92613
Thank you

Video Call in Ionic and Overlay Screen In Ionic Application

How can I integrate Mesibo Video APIs in Ionic? Gone through the docs but couldn't see anything IONIC specific.
Is there any IONIC Demo Application ?
Is there any other way to use Mesibo Android sdk in Ionic application?
I want to implement video call overlay screen concept where 'while one to one video call in place and user can work on all the application pages in parallel'. Please let know if this feature can be implemented in Ionic application using Mesibo APIs.
mesibo provides native APIs for Android (Java & Kotlin), iOS (obj-c, Swift), C++, Javascript, and Python. You need to write a plugin if you like to using mesibo (or any native android library) from ionic

Can we use Angularfire with a natively hosted ionic app?

I am building an ionic application that I hope to deploy as an android and ios application. I wish to use firebase so I was wondering if angularfire would still work or do I need to use a Cordova plugin?
Yes, you can use AngularFire in your Ionic Mobile Android or iOS app. That is how 99 percent of apps using Firebase are connecting. Its the most popular lib for working with firebase.

Can we use a signle ionic-4 app for mobile and desktops

I am developing an ionic-4 app, Ionic provides cross platform apps but I am a bit confused and my confusion is can I use a single ionic-4 application for mobiles(e.g. Android and IOS) and desktops browsers(Chrome, firefox etc.) as website. Is it possible by using ionic version 4.
Yes, Ionic 4 provides a single code for the execution of multiple platforms.
Ionic Doc
here is help for you. You can check everything.
Yes, you can use Ionic for Android, IOS and Browser. Once the coding is done, you can add any platform to make its build. For example, if you add Android platform then you can take an Android build(APK).Before that you need to setup an environment for that . For example, you need Android studio for taking Android build and Xcode for taking IOS build. It's all depends on the platform that you use.
Please go through Ionic documentation and Youtube tutorials to get a correct picture.
Thank you

Integrating Unity project into Cordova with mgcrea plugin

I have an Unity 3D project made for Android and I'm trying to port it in IOS. I created a similar project with Apache Cordova but without 3D graphic, and now I found a plugin for Cordova that promise an Unity integration with Cordova (https://github.com/mgcrea/cordova-plugin-unity). I've tried to integrate it, but I haven't understand where I must insert my Unity files into Cordova.
Unfortunately there isn't a working example and there's a lack of detailed explanation, so I would ask if anyone has already tried that plugin and eventually how it works.
Thanks in advance!

Integrate Ionic Sass Customization in IBM Worklight

I want to integrate Ionic Sass Customization in IBM Worklight hybrid mobile application. can any one help , Not sure what are the dependencies to make this work. Ionic is really cool in customization of themes in IONIC Mobile Apps.
http://learn.ionicframework.com/videos/sass/
Thanks in advance.
Because Worklight/MFP does not support the Cordova CLI and Ionic deeply integrates their CLI with the Cordova CLI, the approach I believe you should take is:
Create a skeleton app in Worklight Studio, integrated with Ionic. You can look at the Starter Application (for MFP 6.3), that also has a version using Ionic.
Once you have that, you'll need to create an app purely with Ionic, and create the theme you like the most
Then you need to copy over the CSS files or their contents, whatever, to the Worklight/MFP project and manually integrate the two (references in the HEAD or the contents injected into the CSS files
Not a nice approach, but since there is no Worklight > Cordova CLI integrate, the process is not nice.
