Can I stop Bump from being activated when the phone bumps?

Question

I like the idea behind bump, and I am using it in an application. However, I'd prefer it if I would be able to make a connection between 2 phones (in close proximity) without the users having to bump.

I have tried simulateBump which works pretty good for that purpose. However I don't want the Bump framework to be activated when it thinks the phones are bumped.

So, how could you disable 'bumping'?

Also, one extra questions: Can I stop the bump framework from triggering a vibration on the phone when the phone is bumped?

Answer 1

Just so others know what Andrei is talking about - Bump allows two smartphone users to physically bump their phones together to transfer contact information, photos, and files to each other over the Internet.

Now that the context is clear, These are the exposed API's by Bump - Bump API for iOS. According to this -

1. When phones are bumped and if you have included the Bump SDK in your app complete with delegates, Bump framework will be activated when 2 phones bump. If you dont want bump to be activated then remove bump handlers (like configureWithAPIKey etc.) and implement you own. Although I see a BOOL flag called bumpable. This is defaulted to YES. Maybe if you set this to FALSE and see how it works out.
2. I dont see any API to turn off vibration when bump happens.

I am purely basing this on my observations of their header file. Not tried this in xCode. So I might be wrong.

Also, if you are interested in peer-to-peer data transfer you might want to take a look at GameKit, its a cool piece of tech part of iOS framework..
