Web and WebWorks Development

I saw that you can do vibrate in BB10 WebWorks here:

https://github.com/blackberry/WebWorks-Community-APIs/issues/101

" navigator.vibrate is supported already "

I have tried navigator.vibrate I can't get it to work. I tried navigator.vibrate, navigator.vibrate(); navigator.vibrate(1000), navigator.vibrate([50, 100, 150]);

Does anyone know how to get it to work? Do you need a permissions element in the config?

navigator.vibrate should be working, what device build are you trying?

[Nukul · Accepted solution]

You need navigator.webkitvibrate

[stardomains]

I just tried three different cases:

1st try: navigator.webkitvibrate;

2nd try: navigator.webkitvibrate(2000);

3rd try: navigator.webkitvibrate([50, 100, 150]);

And it didn't work for me.

Worked with:

navigator.webkitVibrate(2000);

I needed the capitalized "V"!

Thanks!

Although with that code it keeps vibrating. It doesn't go for just 2 seconds. I'll keep experimenting.

...

navigator.webkitVibrate([2000]);

With brackets it will work for the 2 seconds.

...

This successfully did the pattern too:

navigator.webkitVibrate([1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000,1000]);

navigator.vibrate(1000) will work in the future.

Hi Nukul and all others,

something changed in the API for virbation? I'm searching an event handler to make differentiate between playing a sound or vibrate in my App, but I couldn't find anything about it and you sample

navigator.vibrate(1000);

is throwing a:

TypeError: Type error

Is there a bug in the latest BB10 Version 10.0.9.1675 or something missing in the HTML5 documentation?

[Nukul]

navigator.vibrate([1000])

AND

navigator.vibrate(1000)

both work for me

According to the spec that is correct

Hi Nukul,

I always get a type error with this when directly calling the navigator.vibrate(1000) in Web Inspector:

TypeError: Type error
line: 2
message: "Type error"
stack: "vibrate@[native code]↵eval code↵eval@[native code]↵evaluate@[native code]↵_evaluateOn↵_evaluateAndWrap↵evaluate↵[native code]"
> __proto__: Error

Is there something to be added to the config.xml for it to work?

BTW: Is there an event handler/listener to be able to vibrate instead of playing a sound if the BB10's volume is down/muted?

Hi everybody.

Any news on navigator.vibrate.

I'm running the latest BB10 SDK version 1.0.4.7 and BB10 Dev Alpha "A" OS version 10.0.9.2320 [10.9.9.339] but it doesn't work.

I always get the same errors running the samples provided by Nukul.
