Detailed Description▲
Categories are used to search for places based on the categories they are associated with. The list of available categories can be obtained from the CategoryModel. The PlaceSearchModel has a categories property that is used to limit the search results to places with the specified categories.
If the Plugin supports it, categories can be created or removed. To create a new category construct a new Category object and set its properties, then invoke the save() method.

}

To remove a category ensure that the plugin and categoryId properties are set and call the remove() method.

Property Documentation▲

[read-only] status : enumeration▲
This property holds the status of the category. It can be one of:
Category.Ready |
No error occurred during the last operation, further operations may be performed on the category. |
Category.Saving |
The category is currently being saved, no other operations may be performed until the current operation completes. |
Category.Removing |
The category is currently being removed, no other operations can be performed until the current operation completes. |
Category.Error |
An error occurred during the last operation, further operations can still be performed on the category. |
visibility : enumeration▲
This property holds the visibility of the category. It can be one of:
Category.UnspecifiedVisibility |
The visibility of the category is unspecified. If saving a category, the plugin will automatically set a default visibility to the category saved in the backend. This default is dependent on the plugin implementation. |
Category.DeviceVisibility |
The category is limited to the current device. The category will not be transferred off of the device. |
Category.PrivateVisibility |
The category is private to the current user. The category may be transferred to an online service but is only ever visible to the current user. |
Category.PublicVisibility |
The category is public. |
Note that visibility does not affect how Places associated with the category are displayed in the user-interface of an application on the device. Instead, it defines the sharing semantics of the category.
