DecSoft (In thread: HTTP: Uncaught TypeError)

Hello Mario,

I was tempted to propose some possible workaround, even when, certainly, the issue that you describes occurs. But then I figure out that the same issue can happen with other controls like the Websocket, AudioPlayer, VideoPlayer and Timer controls. So I decide to handle this and rewrite how the DecSoft App Builder compiler set the "self" variable of all the controls. I published a new release of the product right now as you can see in this forum post, Mario.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.5)

Hello to all,

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


2022.5 (04/25/2022)

* Change the way in which the DecSoft App Builder compiler set the "self" variable inside the events of all the controls, including native visual and non visual controls as well the app plugins controls, and, this all inside app views, app dialogs and app frames. There is a reported issue through the support forum related with the HTTP control and the "self" variable which occurs if we changed to another app view while the server response is not yet completed, however, I find that the same issue can happen also in another controls like the Websocket, AudioPlayer, VideoPlayer and Timer controls, so I decide to rewrite how the compiler deal with the "self" variable of all the controls events in a more accurate way. Thanks Mario for the report!

* Update the Base64 Javascript library used in the app's code to the latest version. In addition to other changes, fixes and enhancements, this new version of the Base64 library avoid the usage of the eval() Javascript function in order to properly work.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2022.4)

Hello to all,

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


2022.4 (04/22/2022)

* Replace the Moment.js library (https://github.com/moment/moment/) from the app's core by the Luxon.js library (https://github.com/moment/luxon). The Luxon.js library is the recomended one by the Moment.js team to replace it and offers a much modern way to deal with dates and times in Javascript. Additionally the Luxon.js library is 300 Kb smaller than Moment.js. If your app already uses Moment.js, just download it an include to your app as any other Javascript file from the app's Files Manager.
  
* Add the Poster property to the VideoPlayer control. The Poster property is translatable  and allows to establish an optional image path or URL to be shown in the video control before it start to be played.

DecSoft (In thread: HTML Compiler compilation)

Hello Bryce,

About your first question, honestly I need to take a look at HTC 1 in order to see if that option really exists... and why? Because the idea is that the output file must be the same than the "index.html" file of our apps. And why? Because we app may need files, not included in the compiled executable, in order to properly work. For that reason HTC 2 do not include that specific option.

About your second question, certainly it's the system and the "icons cache" who determine the behaviour that you describes. However, if the icon is certainly changed (there is no error when compile the executables), then the real icon of the executable is what you provides, and, you can see that "real icon" if you copy or move the executable into another folder or another computer.

P.S. A possible workaround for the first question can be to use the DecSoft HTML Compiler CLI compiler. From DecSoft HTML Compiler is it possible to create a BAT file who uses the CLI compiler to compile our apps. It's possible then to edit this BAT file (or create a new one from the scratch) who compile the app and then move the executable file to another location.

DecSoft (In thread: HTML Compiler local storage)

Hello Bryce,

The local storage is managed by the app browser itself: is not saved in a file or internally managed by DecSoft HTML Compiler, but by the used chromium based browser itself. The user is not able to get it, but your app yes. I mean, the local storage is not removed when the app is closed, so, previously stored information it's available when the user starts the app again.

DecSoft (In thread: Http client CORS (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

For the case of AB1, you can certainly establish a timeout for the request like below:


// Before execute the request. Milliseconds value.
SetVar "[HttpClient1.Request.timeout]" "10000" "String"

So the above establish 10 seconds of timeout, means if after 10 seconds the server did not respond the Error event of the Http Client is fired with a "Status = -1" and "Response = null".

DecSoft (In thread: Http client CORS (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

The problem with CORS is not to place the right header in the client side, but in the server side. So it's the server who must set the appropriate CORS permissions. You can find more information at this web page, which explain how to set the CORS permissions in various servers. If you can't handle this using your server's, but, your server can run PHP scripts (for example), then you can try to set the CORS permissions from a PHP script, so you can call to that script, who can also make the appropriate reading of the URL that you wanted, something similar like below:


<?php

// Enable CORS (http://enable-cors.org/server_php.html)
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

// Access-Control headers are received during OPTIONS requests
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'OPTIONS') {
  if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_METHOD']))
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS");
  if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS']))
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: {$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS']}");
  exit;
}

header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8');
readfile('http://192.168.1.151/relay/0 ');

DecSoft (In thread: Input File error on Ios (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

I am not sure... probably it's not solve the error, but, look at your "nscameraUsageDescription"... maybe it's case sensitive and you must use "NSCameraUsageDescription". On the other hand, iOS 12... sounds old to me... and may you are right and that problem is related with that version of iOS.

DecSoft (In thread: Input File error on Ios (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

The point is that the error that you shown is procuded in the compiled Swift code: we commonly no need to edit nor modify that code, but the Javascript code of our apps.

Apparently you solve the problem, however, maybe with "Capture=True" you can get the things worked as expected, but, if you add the below XML in the Config XML option of the app:


<platform name="ios">

 <edit-config target="NSCameraUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
  <string>Permita acceder a la cámara.</string>
 </edit-config>

 <edit-config target="NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription" file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge">
  <string>Permita acceder a su librería de imágenes.</string>
 </edit-config>

</platform>

Basically, when we need to use the Camera or the Library, we need to establish certain strings in order to properly use that resources at iOS. So you can try with that XML, or, just leave the Capture = False, if you solve with this and you no need to go ahead.

DecSoft (In thread: Condition into Report (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

You must lost the fear to use an HTTP client control: in fact when you set an URL to the Report, internally an HTTP call is made, so, using an HTTP call to retrieve the data is just a simple step. If you use an HTTP client control you can work with the response before assign it to the "Report.Data" variable.

Suppose the report's source (which will be assigned to the Report's Data variable) contains properties like this: "date_created": "2022-03-15 13:00". You can use an HTTP client control to get the source, and, in the HTTP client control Success event, you can write a code like below:


// Clear our Report.Data variable
ArrayClear "[Report1.Data]"

// Prepare a temporal array
NewArray "[MyTempArray]"

// Set the reponse of the HTTP client control to the temporal array
ArrayConcat "[MyTempArray]" "[HttpClient1.Response]" "[MyTempArray]"

// Get the length of the temporal array (the number of records)
ArrayLength "[MyTempArray]" "[TotalItems]"

// Decrement the number of records, so we can use the Loop below
Dec "[TotalItems]"

// Prepare a date variable with the current date (today)
NewDate "" "" "[CurrentDate]"

// Iterate over the temporal array
Loop "0" "[TotalItems]" "[I]"

  // Get the iterated item of the temporal array
  ArrayGetItem "[MyTempArray]" "[I]" "[Item]"

  // Create a date variable with the value of the item
  NewDate "[Item.date_created]" "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm" "[ItemDate]"

  // Check if the item's date is the same than the current date
  DateIsSame "[CurrentDate]" "[ItemDate]" "day" "[ItemDateIsToday]"

  // Add a new property to the item which is "true" if the date
  // is today, or "false" if the date is not today
  ObjectSetProp "[Item]" "IsToday" "[ItemDateIsToday]"
EndLoop

// Finally assign the temporal array to the Report Data variable
ArrayConcat "[Report1.Data]" "[MyTempArray]" "[Report1.Data]"

Doing that you can use a code like below in the Report HTML:


 <div ng-show="Record.IsToday == 'true'">Is today</div>
 <div ng-show="Record.IsToday != 'true'">Is NOT today</div>

DecSoft (In thread: Condition into Report (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

There are various ways to do it. I prefer to do these things in the server side, so, our records can have a property like "IsToday", so we can simply prepare a code like below:


<div ng-show="Record.IsToday == 'true'">Is today</div>

If you prefer to rely on the client side, you can prepare a variable in the Show event of the view in wich you place your Report control, a variable like below:


SetVar "[TodayFormatted]" "[App.Year]-[App.Month]-[App.Day]" "String"

Doing that you prepare a code inside the Report like below:


 <span ng-show="$root.TodayFormatted == Record.MyDate">Is today</span>
 <span ng-show="$root.TodayFormatted != Record.MyDate">Is NOT today</span>

Of course, we suppose that "Record.MyDate" contains date values like "YYYY-MM-DD". If there is other formatted date string in "Record.MyDate", then you must change the "TodayFormatted " variable accordingly.

DecSoft (In thread: Condition into Report (AB1))

Hello Andrea,

You can use the "ng-show" directive in a way like below:

 
<div ng-show="Record.status == 'processing'">This record is in processing state</div>
<div ng-show="Record.status != 'processing'">This record is NOT in processing state</div>

DecSoft (In thread: InAppBrowser URL schemes)

Hello Paolo,

Glad to know that you got it. Anyway, take a look at the documentation of the InAppBrowser plugin. In particular to the available events, and, more in particular, to the "message" event. I did not test it (like I test the above code) but I think the "message" event can be a good thing to be considered.

DecSoft (In thread: InAppBrowser URL schemes)

Hello Paolo,

I am not sure if what you wanted is what is shown in this stackoverflow answer. I use that answer's code with good result in one of my apps. The idea is simple, we call to app.cordova.inAppBrowser.open and save a reference to the opened window, that is:


var
  winRef = app.cordova.inAppBrowser.open('https://www.yourdomain.com/your-page.php', '_system', 'location=yes');

winRef .addEventListener( "loadstop", function(){
  var loop = window.setInterval(function(){
    winRef .executeScript({
      code: "window.shouldClose"
    },
    function(values){
      if(values[0]){
       // The user has pressed the button
        winRef .close();
        window.clearInterval(loop);
      }
    }
  );
  },100);
});

Therefore, inside "your-page.php", you can place a button and a "click" event listener for that button. In the "click" event listener the only thing that you must do is to set the variable "window.shouldClose" to true. So when the user click on that button the the code after "if(values[0])" will be executed: you can then close the "InAppBrowser" window and/or do anything else.
