Prerequisites

To use location triggered (Geofence) push, your app must request the following:

• ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
• ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION if your app targets Android 10 (API level 29) or later.

For more information, refer to Android Request Geofences.

SDK Installation

Add the below dependency in the app/build.gradle file.

implementation("com.moengage:geofence:1.2.2")

We recommend integrating the MoEngage Dependency Catalog to easier dependency management. Refer to the documentation to know more.

Configure Geofence

Add the Geofence configuration to the MoEngage.Builder while initializing the SDK using the configureGeofence().

val moEngage = MoEngage.Builder(this, "XXXXXXXX")
        .configureGeofence(GeofenceConfig(isGeofenceEnabled, isBackgroundSyncEnabled))
        .build()
MoEngage.initialise(moEngage)

MoEngage moEngage = new MoEngage.Builder(this, "XXXXXXXXXXX")
            .configureGeofence(new GeofenceConfig(isGeofenceEnabled, isBackgroundSyncEnabled))
            .build();
MoEngage.initialise(moEngage);

Geofence Hit Callback

MoEngage SDK optionally notifies the application whenever a Geo-Fence is triggered. If required the application can consume the trigger and ask the SDK not to process it, alternatively, the application can just use the callback for logging/analytical purposes and let MoEngage process the trigger.

For more information about implementing callback in the application using OnGeofenceHitListener, refer to API Reference.

Register the listener in the Application class`onCreate()` using MoEGeofenceHelper.getInstance().addListener().
