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.

Hello,

Thanks for posting Donald. Certainly PayPal.me can be a solution in some cases. Here is my URL, for example:

https://paypal.me/davidesperalta

I think, for other possible uses, we can deep a little search for possible Javascript/HTML APIs. In the future maybe some kind of API can be integrated in App Buidler, but, unfortunately, I can't promise nothing at this time.

Hello Ade,

Thanks for posting. Certainly it's easy to made a "ListView", since we have "views" and also "Multiselect" and "HTML" controls. We have also a simple "Select" control, which on Android, for example, is very lovely, since the system show us a "modal list" with the options to choose.

About the "Scrollview", I am not sure, but, remember our "Report" control: take a look at the "Report1" to "Report9" samples... such control offer us lot of posibilities. Maybe right now we can't get a "scrollview" (out of the box) but a very similar and widely used approach.

About the "Login" and "Grid" view: the login can be prepared with a couple of "Inputs". The "Grid" control does not exists now in App, but, a control like that in a mobile environment... anyway we can use a "Report" control for data show, and then "Inputs" for data edition.

About PayPal,... my recomendation right now is to use some of the "HTML" API they offers. For example, we can open the "Paypal users page" in certain "Iframe", or use the "OpenWindow" action with certain PayPal links ready to process a purchase.

I know this is not exactly the answer you may expected, but, hopefully they can help you in some way Ade.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing Asley! :)

Hello Donald,

Basically we need to use the Location control in conjuction with the GeoLocation action. Once we call such action the Location control's events can be fired. Take a look at this sample application: MyApp.zip In principle this control can works in browsers "as is", however, you can check/add the "Location" plugin for Apache Cordova.

Hello,

Tryting to reply as best as possible (like always) I want before to ask something: are you tried with the app's views "Animation" variable? A "fadeIn" animation for the app's views can looks nice. Anyway, I think we can do somethings, but, probably not in a generally way. At least I can't think a way to "generalize" a question like that.

For example, I am investigating a possible images "preload", however, probably this cover only a portion of your idea.

Are you experimenting some problem? Using some specific control?

Hello Donald,

The file's manager just saves referecences to the files (their relative application's path to be exactly) and never touch or copy the files.

Hello Donald,

I can't reproduce here such behaviour. Are you sure the application is properly saved before save it again using "save as"?

Hello Donald,

I can't reproduce the problem here. That is, suposing an application with certain files added, I can save such application with other name (but remember, in the same directory!) and then I cam compile it without problems.

Maybe you save your application with other file name, but, since the app name is currently the same than the previous one (because one thing is the app's name, and other is the app's file name) the compiler do not update the compiled directory properly? So we need to remove it firstly?
