Hello Donald,

About the IFrames sample, I am sorry, but can't reproduce the problem here. The sample works as expected. The HTML files must be included into the application (using the file's manager) since they are required later in runtime. Are you get some error or something? Can you start from scratch with the sample?

On the other hand, update your App Builder copy: a new Google Maps application sample is included in the current release.

Hello Nelson,

What about the VisualNeo DBPro plugin?

Hello Donald,

You no need to download anything. Just check the "Location" plugin from the app's Cordova's options tab.

Hello Ade,

Start with an empty application. I can't reproduce the problem here, that is, the splash screens works for me...

Hello,

Well. What I means is to show the console results, that is, the messages which appear once you execute such BAT file. I think the problem is you need to delete the "_Compiled" directory Ade, the "Batch" file must appear like the below one:

Note the addition of the splash screen plugin. Then:

1º Choose your images.

2º Save the application.

3º Check the Create Cordova config.

4º Delete your current compiled directory

5º Build (not debug) your application.

6º Your Batch file must appear like the above one.

Hello Ade,

Are you take a look at the directory I mentioned above (*_Compiled\res\screens\) and the splash screen images exists? If so, take a look at the generated Batch file and assert they contains the appropiate instructions to require the Cordova's splash screen plugin. When you build the application with Cordova, take care to the console's messages: maybe we can get some information from there.

Hello all,

Thanks Donald for your help. I am not sure if the images must be provided in the exactly size the "tip" says. In fact I test here with images about 512x512 pixels and they works like expected. We need to think that App Builder resizes our original images to adapt it into various platforms, then, IMHO there is not an specific image size.

Probably it's a combination of things. If we choose the images for the splash screen, we need to save the application. After that, we need to build the application (F8) and not debug it (CTRL+F9), since the debug operation do not create the images (because they are not needed at that time).

About your application "background" question, certainly, at least in Android, the application's splash screen are show when the application starts from scratch, and not when the user just back to our application from other.

Hello Ade,

Assert you save the application after adding the splash screen images. Assert also the "Create a Cordova config file" are also checked. Then build (not debug) the application (press F8) and take a look at the "*_Compiled\res\screens\" directory. App Builder copy in that directory the splash screen images.

If everything is well the splash screen must be show. If they do not work, then take a look at the images you are using. Maybe these are too small or something? Try with other images...

Hello Ade,

In fact what you need to do is choose the splash screens. App Builder prepares for you various splash screen images in different sizes and for various platforms. Also App Builder take care and require the appropiate Cordova's plugins in the Batch files. I don't know if this can help you or what.

Hello to all,

I am proudly to announce the new npSapi plugin for VisualNeo:

This plugin allow us to use the Microsoft SAPI from our applications and therefore reproduce text to speech. The plugin can retrieve the system available voices and allow us to reproduce text to speech using any of the available voices. Also the plugin inform us when the text to speech starts and when the text to speech ends using their provided events/subroutines.

Hope can be useful for your projects.

You're welcome! :)

Hello Donald,

Good to hear. Hopefully I can made something in the near future about the Geolocation vs Microsoft WebBrowser control problem.

Hello Donald,

Not a control, Donald, but the "OpenWindow" action is suitable here. But yes, another possible candidate can be the Launcher control along the "LauncherAction" action. In order to use this latest one we need to build our application with Apache Cordova, as well to check the "Launcher" Cordova's plugin. Another possible way (only for desktop/browser applications) can be to use an HTML control with an "A" HTML tag.

Hello Donald,

Cof, cof, cof... what's the problem with "Arrays" or "index"? :)

Hello Donald,

I think there is a problem with the internal debugger browser related with the geolocation acccess. In fact it's not a problem of App Builder, but how the Microsoft WebBrowser control works. Honestly, I am not know right now how to enable the geolocation access using the WebBrowser control, in which the internal debugger is based.

I need to investigate this further, since other of my programs, HTML Compiler, also suffer of this problem. What we can do in the meanwhile? Using another browser. Open our application from the debugger using one of the "browsers button". Launching the application in a browser "enables" de Location control, then we can deal with it.

Also remember, if we plain to build our application using Apache Cordova, to check the "Location" Cordova's plugin. Then we do not depend on the HTML5 API, but using certain internal platform specific API. About the integration of some kind of maps, probably the best approach right now is to use the Google Maps Embed API in addition with the IFrame control.

Hope this can help you in some way Donald.
