I am using "Cordova" platform. I want to scan fingerprint and store in local storage and next time this finger print is taken for validation and attendance should be sent.
There is a fingerprint auth plugin available for Android here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-android-fingerprint-auth
It seems pretty up to date.

Good Day
Im using the fingerprint plugin for Xamarin to authenticate a user whos fingerprint is already enrolled on the device.
I want to know if there is a way to display the fingerprint name after successful authentication.
Or even better , give different access to the application according to the fingerprint
using Plugin.fingerprint from Nuget.
Try to contact owners for plugin
No success
I am using OneSignal in my Flutter application to receive notifications. I have created my own table within Flutter to save notifications but I cannot save messages that have been sent whilst the app has been terminated. However, I have found that the OneSignal package has it's own database installed on the device which captures everything no matter what state the application is in! So, to avoid duplicating data I want to use this database instead. It is located outside of the flutter app folder which is my issue (see image below).
How do I access this database? Does anybody know if it is the same on iOS (I haven't been able to check at this time).
Many thanks.
It's important to understand that if an app has been terminated, any onReceived handler will not be fired. We don't recommend using the local db at all. Your best bet is to use the respective notification extender services for each platform. Though you will have to write native code for this! Cheers
Edit:
ANDROID - NotificationExtenderService - This can be setup to receive silent notifications when your app is not running or to override how notifications are shown in the notification shade. See the Background Data and Notification Overriding section to set this up.
I am building my app using Ionic3 and Firebase. Here users can send eatch other messages. I want when a use sends a message to another ures he/she should get a notification in the phone even when the app is closed. I have no idea how to achieve this with Ionic3.
Any suggesions please.
I can see there are mainly 2 plugins for push notifications. cordova-plugin-firebase and cordova-plugin-fcm
At least I can fine some tutorial for cordova-plugin-fcm in the internet. There is no clear example of any wayout given for cordova-plugin-firebase.
You have to use the cordova-plugin-firebase and each time a user logs in using a device, a unique device ID will be registered with respect to that device. This device ID is used to send notifications. Make sure to handle this (device ID), every time a user logs in & logs out. If you do not remove the device_id from the database when a user logs out, he will continue to receive notifications.
You have to use a cordova-plugin for sending push notifications. One of the many available plugins is: cordova-plugin-firebase. This one is a good fit for Ionic 3 because there is an ionic-native wrapper available.
For sending the push notification you can use a third party service (there is also one offered by ionic) or you can send them yourself from your backend.
I am writing a connected home device (alarm system) which can receive events/messages from a mobile device (e.g. a message to dismiss an alarm).
Example of a scenario (mobile device is an iphone for the sake of the example):
Connected device at home sounds alarm and notifies the iphone (using iOS push notifications, not firebase)
iphone user brings up the app, and clicks "dismiss"
connected device gets "dismiss" message and stops the alarm
I was thinking about using firebase's live database for this interaction, so the iphone app would set a db field, and the home device (which runs python) would subscribe to this field and see that it has been set.
The problem is that this is not a very clean implementation, as I would need the home device to turn off the dismiss field after it has received it, so that subsequent dismiss event can be recognized.
Essentially I am implementing messaging on top of a live database.
Is there a cleaner way to do this in firebase?
If not, is this a reasonable implementation?
Are there alternatives to firebase that take care of such a scenario?
What I really need is a web-based event-broker as-a-service...
I would suggest looking at https://github.com/firebase/firebase-queue
There are a few examples of usage on SO such as My Firebase Queue doesn't do anything after I changed to Firebase 3
Many of our developers are using Firebase with a server to perform tasks like background processing, integrating with third party APIs, or handling advanced authentication requirements. Today, we're introducing Firebase Queue, a fault-tolerant multi-worker job pipeline built on Firebase.
If you're writing your server code in Node, Firebase Queue makes it easy to handle background jobs with a worker queue. We're already using it in our private backups feature, where we reliably handle hundreds of jobs per day across multiple machines.

I have a xamarin forms project that uses an azure mobile service with offline sync. The iOS client is working perfectly in that it can save things locally and sync in the background. The context of my app is a game scorekeeper. So, there are two players involved both scoring on the single device.
What I would like to happen is for the "visiting" player or the player who doesn't own the device in use (ie not the primary user) to have their device sync when new data is pushed from the device in use.
Device A pushes new content, Device B somehow knows to pull new content.
This could open the door for each player to score on their own devices in a future version.
Anyway, the question is how do I tell device B to pull? Do I use APN type notification and that triggers a sync, or SignalR to tell it to sync?
The best approach on sync scenarios like this is to have your background sync process going at set intervals but then also trigger your sync process from a specific Push Notification.
If you send a Push Notification with a "special" payload (i.e. meaning something that just means to sync to your code). Then start the sync once the device receives that.
