Follow

Follow

Be With Me AKA Follow Mode tells temi to search for a person that is standing next to it, lock on and then follow it's movement. Generally, a user would click on temi's top hard button or verbally ask temi to follow them, however, with the SDK you can trigger this feature programatically. temi also has the option to constraint follow, in this case temi tracks only on its axis using turn and tilt but with no movement.

API Overview

Return	Method	Description
void	beWithMe()	Iitiate follow mode
void	constraintBeWith()	Iitiate constraint follow mode

Interface	Description
OnBeWithMeStatusChangedListener	Listener for follow mode status
OnConstraintBeWithStatusChangedListener	Listener for constraint follow mode status

Methods

beWithMe()

  void constraintBeWith();

• Required permissions

  None.

Interfaces

OnBeWithMeStatusChangedListener

Set your context to implement this listener and add the override method to get the latest status regarding the follow mode. Possible statuses for follow mode are (value in parenthesis is the actual string value that will be returned).

Prototype
