Tested Version:

This document is based on the original Cordova docs available at .

This plugin aligns with the .

This plugin provides a way to vibrate the device.

This plugin defines global objects including navigator.vibrate.

Although in the global scope, they are not available until after the deviceready event.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {
    console.log(navigator.vibrate);
}

Adding the Plugin in Monaca

In order to use this plugin, please Vibration plugin in Monaca Cloud IDE.

Supported Platforms

  • Android

  • iOS

navigator.notification.vibrateWithPattern & navigator.notification.cancelVibration are not working on iOS platform.

API Reference

vibrate (recommended)

This function has three different functionalities based on parameters passed to it.

Standard vibrate

Vibrates the device for a given amount of time.

    navigator.vibrate(time)

or

    navigator.vibrate([time])
  • time: Milliseconds to vibrate the device. (Number)

Example

    // Vibrate for 3 seconds
    navigator.vibrate(3000);

    // Vibrate for 3 seconds
    navigator.vibrate([3000]);

iOS Quirks

  • time: Ignores the specified time and vibrates for a pre-set amount of time.

    javascriptnavigator.vibrate(3000); // 3000 is ignored

Vibrate with a pattern (Android only)

Vibrates the device with a given pattern

    navigator.vibrate(pattern);
  • pattern: Sequence of durations (in milliseconds) for which to turn on or off the vibrator. (Array of Numbers)

Example

    // Vibrate for 1 second
    // Wait for 1 second
    // Vibrate for 3 seconds
    // Wait for 1 second
    // Vibrate for 5 seconds
    navigator.vibrate([1000, 1000, 3000, 1000, 5000]);

Cancel vibration (not supported in iOS)

Immediately cancels any currently running vibration.

    navigator.vibrate(0)

or

    navigator.vibrate([])

or

    navigator.vibrate([0])

Passing in a parameter of 0, an empty array, or an array with one element of value 0 will cancel any vibrations.

notification.vibrate (deprecated)

Vibrates the device for a given amount of time.

    navigator.notification.vibrate(time)
  • time: Milliseconds to vibrate the device. (Number)

Example

    // Vibrate for 2.5 seconds
    navigator.notification.vibrate(2500);

iOS Quirks

  • time: Ignores the specified time and vibrates for a pre-set amount of time.

    navigator.notification.vibrate();
    navigator.notification.vibrate(2500);   // 2500 is ignored

notification.vibrateWithPattern (deprecated)

Vibrates the device with a given pattern.

    navigator.notification.vibrateWithPattern(pattern, repeat)
  • pattern: Sequence of durations (in milliseconds) for which to turn on or off the vibrator. (Array of Numbers)

  • repeat: Optional index into the pattern array at which to start repeating (will repeat until canceled), or -1 for no repetition (default). (Number)

Example

// Immediately start vibrating
// vibrate for 100ms,
// wait for 100ms,
// vibrate for 200ms,
// wait for 100ms,
// vibrate for 400ms,
// wait for 100ms,
// vibrate for 800ms,
// (do not repeat)
navigator.notification.vibrateWithPattern([0, 100, 100, 200, 100, 400, 100, 800]);

notification.cancelVibration (deprecated)

Immediately cancels any currently running vibration.

    navigator.notification.cancelVibration()
