DecSoft (In thread: Splashscreen for Android 12+)

Hello Mario,

OMG... I need to apologize... certainly I can see the behaviour that you describes and therefore something is wrong. I was confused, because, I am working in certain app days ago and apparently the option works as expected. So let me to take a look and try to figure out what can happen: I will keep you informed, Mario.

DecSoft (In thread: Splashscreen for Android 12+)

Hello Mario,

It's a bit rare... because as you know we already have a background color for the splash screen for other platforms, and, this is the background color used for the new "AndroidWindowSplashScreenBackground" value. So, in principle, if you open the app (an app which is saved with a previous release of AB) and then save it again (just save it), the background color must be used for the "AndroidWindowSplashScreenBackground" new key.

What I think is that you never changes the splash screen background color option (it's normal, since this option is not used for Android nor iOS before), so you leave it as the default value, so the "AndroidWindowSplashScreenBackground" new key used that default value. But if you change the splash screen background color from the app option and you save the app, the next time you compile the app the new color is what must be used.

DecSoft (In thread: Splashscreen for Android 12+)

Hello Mario,

In a previous release release of DecSoft App Builder we start to follow the latest version of Apache Cordova (mainly for the latest version of the Cordova Android and Cordova iOS), which do not use the splash screen plugin anymore, since it's now incorporated in the core of Apache Cordova.

So what you need is to compile the app with the latest version of Cordova Android and Cordova iOS. Apache Cordova changes the way in which the splash screen is defined in Android, due to the fact of the introduction of a new Google API for Android 12.

You can compile the app for Android using the API level 32 (it's the default value now in the app options -> Cordova -> Android) and you set the app option -> Android -> Cordova version to "latest" or "11.0.0" in order to be ready with the new splash screen API.

Talking about Cordova iOS the things continue working like before, but we no need the Cordova splash screen plugin anymore. Talking about Cordova Android, the background color of the splash screen that you can set from the app options are used now in this platform.

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:

These themes matches now the version of Bootstrap CSS that we are already using in the app default theme and other stuff like the welcome, about, product help and plugins help pages.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.12)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.12 (07/25/2022)

* Update the Bootstrap CSS framework to the latest version: update for the app's template, but also the program's help, welcome, about and plugins help pages.

* Update the Microsoft Edge Runtime installer to the latest version. This update includes all the supported flavors, that is, the full installer for both 32 and 64 bits. This installer are internally used by the DecSoft App Builder installer to properly prepare the IDE to use the Edge Runtime webview for the apps Debugger browser.

* Update the animate CSS library to the latest version. Update the Font Awesome icons (Javascript library and desktop fonts) to the latest version. Update the Luxon Javascript libary to the latest version. Update the VueJS, VueEx and VueRouter libraries to the latest versions.

* Due to the changes in Apache Cordova related with the splash screen implementation for Android, we encourage the usage of the latest version of Apache Cordova for Android (11.0.0), which requires the Android API level 32 (Android 12 L) , which is now the default option for the target SDK. Cordova Android 11.0.0 requires this target SDK API level in order to properly work, so we also carefully recommend to update your app to this API level: if you start a new app, don't worry, because this is the default option now.

* DecSoft App Builder no more prepare specific splash screens for various devices of the Android platform, but uses the provided splash screen image "as is", or the app icon, if no splash screen are provided. This change is because the splash screens on Android works now in a different way, using the Apache Cordova core instead of the Splash Screen plugin: this is mainly to offer support for the new Android API for splash screens in Android 12, but, the Apache Cordova core offer backwards compatibility for previous versions of Android.

* Do not use include anymore the Apache Cordova Splash Screen plugin for the Android and the Apple iOS platforms. The latest version of Cordova for these platforms includes the Splash Screen implementation in the Apache Cordova core and therefore this plugin is no longer required. Some additional changes related with the app Splash Screen as you can see above in this history document.

* Add new values into the app options for the Cordova Android platform and their Minimun SDK combobox and target SDK combobox, in order to provide support for the Android API level 31 (Android 12), the Android API level 32 (Android 12 L) and the Android API level 33 (Android 13). Set the default value for the target SDK to the Android 12 L (API level 32).

* Remove the Adobe Phonegap options tab from the app options dock panel, since the Adobe Phonegap project is no longer supported by Adobe, and, on the other hand, we always recommended to use Apache Cordova instead of Adobe Phonegap. Probably you never use Adobe Phonegap (and can't do it anymore), so this change do not affect to your apps. Remove also the Adobe Phonegap references in the product help and from some stuff that we are still added into the Cordova config.xml file.

* This is a major release of DecSoft App Builder, means if you purchase the product before 07-25-2021, you must to purchase an upgrade license (with a 50% off discount), or download the outdated release to continue using your outdated license.

DecSoft (In thread: Bootstrap CSS tabs)

Hello John,

Thanks for that. It's just what I needed.

You're welcome!

DecSoft (In thread: Bootstrap CSS tabs)

Hello John,

In fact in both AB1 or AB2 the possible solution (one of them, since probably there is not only one way to do it) is very similar. The difference is that in the previous generation of AB we use Bootstrap CSS 4.x, and, in the current generation of AB we use the very latest release of the Bootstrap CSS framework.

By the way, the right documentation of the Bootstrap CSS framework is the official website. For example, talking about "Navs and tabs", talking about AB2, we can refer to this website.

What I do is to take some piece of HTML markup from the above linked Bootstrap CSS documentation in order to show some "pill tabs" inside an HTML control of DecSoft App Builder. This is the piece of HTML markup that I use for this sample:


<ul class="nav nav-pills mb-3" id="pills-tab" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link active" id="pills-home-tab" data-bs-toggle="pill" data-bs-target="#pills-home" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-home" aria-selected="true">Home</button>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link" id="pills-profile-tab" data-bs-toggle="pill" data-bs-target="#pills-profile" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</button>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link" id="pills-contact-tab" data-bs-toggle="pill" data-bs-target="#pills-contact" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</button>
  </li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content" id="pills-tabContent">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="pills-home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-home-tab" tabindex="0">Content of home tab</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="pills-profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-profile-tab" tabindex="0">Content of profile tab</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="pills-contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-contact-tab" tabindex="0">Loading...</div>
</div>

You can copy the above HTML code and paste it directly in one app's view: when you do so AB automatically creates an HTML control for you and places it inside the proper HTML markup ready to be used.

Now, suppose that what we wanted is to show the content of the "Contact" tab from an external URL, so, we can place the below Javascript code in the app's view Show event, the same app's view who contains the above HTML control:


// Avoid to attach the tab events twice (for example, if we move to another app view and come back to this one)
if (!window.tabEventsAlreadyAttached) {

  // Look for our existing tabs (note the selector can be other, if we use other in the tabs HTML markup)
  document.querySelectorAll('button[data-bs-toggle="pill"]').forEach(tab => {

    // Attach an event to the tab which will be fired when the tab will be show
    tab.addEventListener('show.bs.tab', function (event) {

      // If the tab is what we are waiting for...
      if (event.target.id === 'pills-contact-tab') {

        // Just make an HTTP call with jQuery to easily the contents from an external URL
        $('#pills-contact').load('https://www.decsoftutils.com/Humm/Sites/Main/Views/Data/DecSoft/AppBuilder/Samples/Http/get.php');
      }
    });
  });

  // Set the flag variable to true, so we avoid to attach the tabs events twice
  window.tabEventsAlreadyAttached = true;
}

And that's all basically. Maybe you want to make a "get" jQuery call instead of a "load" one, or maybe you wanted another possible HTML markup, but, the idea will be very similar: we need an HTTP call in order to get our desired content, and then place that content (the response of the HTTP call) in our tab content DIV container.

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2022.11 (06/13/2022)

* Starting with a new app we can see that the Cordova AdMob plugin which we used before doesn't compile well with the latest version of Apache Cordova. After an investigation we found a certain modern and well supported Apache Cordova AdMob plugin which compiles and works as expected with the latest Apache Cordova version: this release modifies the CordovaAdMob sample app in order to use this new Cordova AdMob plugin.

* Add the PlaysInline property to the VideoPlayer control, so we can set this property to true or false (by default) at designtime and therefore add the appropriate attribute "playsinline" for the video HTML tag of the VideoPlayer control. This attrtibute can be useful, for example, to avoid the videos to be played at fullscreen on iOS.
