Tag: cordova,mobilefirst
I have to start a project on Apache Cordova for developing mobile applications.
One of the requirements is to use IBM MobileFirst platform. What is the difference between these two frameworks? My understanding is that Apache Cordova is a framework for writing the mobile applications, where as IBM MobileFirst is a platform to integrate and run and test all the mobile components, like an Eclipse IDE. Is that my understanding correct?
Your understanding is partially correct.
Cordova is essentially a layer between your web code to your native code. It allows you to use native functionality in your web app by using its set of APIs. It also provides a CLI to generate hybrid apps (native apps that use a web view to display the app content) for various environments.
MobileFirst Platform is a suite of products offering you a whole lot of different things.
In terms of application development, Cordova is used as an integrated part of the Hybrid application that is also offered by MFP.
In addition to Cordova, though, you get access to other features, not available to Cordova. Such as: Unified push notifications, Java and JavaScript adapters (for backend connectivity, binary data, server-side, etc), Direct Update, OAuth, application authenticity, a very flexible security framework and other varying features. These are things you will not be able to have using pure Cordova applications.
I suggest for you to get familiar with MFP by visiting its official website as well as its developer center.
Most likely the issue is the navigator.geolocation.watchPosition. You will want to make use of the device events to handle stopping and starting this when the app is paused and resumed. Here is a quick sudo example: Define a global for your watcher var watcher; Add listeners for pause and resume:...
cordova,jquery-mobile,phonegap-build,intel-xdk
Most likely you build the app with the usual Android build, while the App Preview uses the Crosswalk Android build for the preview, which is much faster for Android < 4.3. Build your app with 'Crosswalk for Android', you'll get the same performance. :)...
javascript,jquery,html,cordova
You are calling the init() method from start.html which onload calls function onDeviceReady() which has a location change,hence other page loads. You need to add the document.getElementById('submitButton').addEventListener("click", startApp,false); when loginPage.html (maybe in a different function) page loads not when the start.html loads. Hope it helps....
javascript,php,cordova,file-transfer
Php doesn't show headers posted via Cordova FileTransfert. I think that header sent is protected. The header can be captured in PHP via this portion of code : $this->header = getallheaders(); $this->uid = (isset($this->header['uid']) && !empty($this->header['uid'])?$this->header['uid']:null); echo $this->uid; //return the User Id sent via Post request from Cordova FileTransfert. Hope...
Note: I don't know what this response property is in the object you're giving $.ajax; it's not in the standard options. But I assume you used it for a reason, perhaps some plugin. If not, change response to success in the below. You've said that e.length will be "unknown." I...

The thing you are doing in your code is not a valid way of doing it. You are manipulating DOM using native method that will not run digest cycle, you need to run it manually by doing $scope.$apply(). That will solve your problem but generally you should not do DOM...

Adding core telephony framework and its delegate methods solved my requirement. //Initialize the plugin - (void)pluginInitialize { self.callCenter = [[CTCallCenter alloc] init]; [self handleCall]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(callReceived:) name:CTCallStateIncoming object:nil]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(callEnded:) name:CTCallStateDisconnected object:nil]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self...

It would be a lot easier (as well as interesting) to write simple mobile clients in native Java/Objective-C for Android & iOS. For an experienced web developer, it would not be hard to create simple apps using articles on Google/StackOverflow. Not to mention that using the native mobile SDKs' is...

javascript,angularjs,cordova,ionic-framework,promise
The problem is that you are not pushing promises into your promise array. You are (eventually) pushing normal values into the array, but not before you've run a $q.all on an empty or near-empty array. $scope.upload = function() { var token = window.localStorage.getItem('yourTokenKey'); var promises = []; var options =...
It looks like ant commands are broken in Android SDK 24.3, which cordova build is using. I downgraded to previous release (24.2.0) and ant works fine now. You can download previous SDK from: http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r24.2-windows.zip...
I have already managed to solve this problem, so, in case of anyone has a similar trouble, here it goes the situation I've gone through. When I performed the first build, phonegap attempted to download and extract it's own gradle distribution, and he was attempting to download it from the...
ios,cordova,cordova-plugins,keychain
I had the same problem. My solution was to change the plugin in Cordova by com.crypho.plugins.securestorage (http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/com.crypho.plugins.securestorage). The problem is that SSKeychain plugin has a keychain access group different to Cordova Keychain Plugin, so between apps that use the same plugin work good, but when the plugins are different doesn't...
I was suffering with the same problem. I got what you need after long search->try->implement->erase->new try cycle. Though i followed ng-cordova plugins, i came to know that adding ng-cordova.js will not make it easy to resolve the plugin problem bcoz it just contain the initialization of plugins that are supported...
It's better to add that a in your config.xml file with android-versionCode="X" : <widget id="com.example.app" version="1.1.0" android-versionCode="2" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0"> ...

You could check the error code in PositionError parameter of geolocationError in your call to getCurrentPosition. I am guessing that it will be PositionError.PERMISSION_DENIED when gps is not enabled, and PositionError.POSITION_UNAVAILABLE or PositionError.TIMEOUT when gps is enabled but there are other issues. Note that this is platform dependent. You would...

For Cordova Windows8 applications (or all applications built with Visual Studio), if your plugin is a custom one (I would assume it's not part of the org.apache...), you have to manually add it.

I have been using Randdusing's Cordova plugin for BluetoothLE and it works well for Android and iOS (Windows phone still under development).

Cordova is mainly a JavaScript framework that exposes native device features as JavaScript functions. Think of a cordova application like a plain HTML & Javascript website running in a Webview within your mobile application. The PHP interpreter isn't available on a mobile device, which is why you cannot package PHP...
android,jquery,cordova,jquery-mobile
I recommend first, to check your config.xml there is a section where you can specify the start page of your app. It must be ponting to "index.html" and I think your page is called "Login.html" (Just a guess) The section looks like this <content src="your_page.html" /> just change that section...
soap,mobilefirst,mobilefirst-adapters
I examined the WSDL that you've provided and for the recuperaVariabili service the input parameter is defined as: <element name="recuperaVariabili"> <complexType/> </element> I believe that the empty complexType is what confuses that adapter generator as it might expect some elements/attributes to be defined for that complex type. I must say...

The best answer for iOS web developers would be that it would be included by default at release and could be called via font-family. As of iOS 9 Beta 1, I could not get to the San Francisco font in this way. font-family: 'San Francisco Display', "Helvetica-Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; -OR-...
Sometimes, the default access settings aren't enough, i don't really know why, but i think i know how to patch this.

I see you have tagged ionic-framework as well. If you are using Ionic you can make use of $ionicActionSheet instead of the $cordovaActionSheet. See this doc.

You can get the application from within an initializer: Just use ember generate initializer cordova to generate a new initializer. This will generate a file named app/initializers/cordova.js.

The success callback passed into watchPosition() is called each time the operating system receives a location update, which is not after a specific interval of time. For instance, if using high accuracy, it will be called each time the GPS hardware passes a position update to the OS. Therefore this...
