Geofencing Plugin

This plugin can be used to make your DroidScript app interact whena user is within a defined vicinity. Still in beta version.

Geofencing is a location-based service in which an app or other software uses GPS to trigger a pre-programmed action when a mobile device enters or exits a virtual boundary set up around a geographical location, known as a geofence. If you want to add this functionality into your DroidScript application, then this plugin is for you.

Geofencing Plugin for DroidScript includes circle and polygon boundaries which you can set-up directly upon initialization.

This plugin is still in beta version as there are only few people using this plugin but I tested it myself and I got a simple DroidScript app working using this plugin.
