Hello to all,

2021.46 (06/11/2021)

* Add the "disablePictureInPicture" and the controlsList="nodownload" attributes to the Video Player control, in order to avoid the "picture in picture" behaviour as well the download options wich the browsers provides. Modify the Video* sample apps also to show how we can avoid the browser's contextual menu for the Video Player controls just by "prevent the default behaviour" using the ContextMenu event of the control.

* Add the controlsList="nodownload" to the Audio Player control, in order to avoid the download options wich the browsers provides. Modify the AudioPlayer sample app also to show how we can avoid the browser's contextual menu for the Audio Player controls just by "prevent the default behaviour" using the ContextMenu event of the control.

DecSoft (In thread: New HTML Compiler 2021.38)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft HTML Compiler with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2021.38 (06/06/2021)

* Add the NavBar sample app, who uses the new app's main menu capabilities to set a kind of navigation bar with Back and Forward items, which the user can press in order to navigate back and forward in the browser's history.

* Add the MainMenu sample app, who shows the usage of the dhc.mainMenu.setItems() external Javascript function, the dhc.mainMenu.updateItem()  external Javascript function as well the dhc.events.onMainMenuItemClick() external Javascript function event.

* Add the new dhc.events.onMainMenuItemClick() external Javascript function event. This function (if exists) is called when the user click in one of the main menu items that we can create with the dhc.mainMenu.setItems() external Javascript function.

* Add the new dhc.mainMenu.updateItem() external Javascript function. This function is intended to update a main menu item after we create it. We can set a new caption, enabled state and image of a previously created main menu item.

* Add the new dhc.mainMenu.setItems() external Javascript function. This function is intended to prepare a window's main menu for our app. We can establish any number of menu items and subitems, which can have his own "caption", "id" and "image". See the help for more information and details.

* Enhance the app's Javascript option window in order to resize the Javascript editor to fit the window size, so it's more easy for us to prepare and write the Javascript code that we want to place in that app's Javascript option.

DecSoft (In thread: New npEdge for VisualNeo)

Hello to all,

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

This plugin allow you to use the Edge Chromium Runtime WebView2 in your VisualNeo apps. You can place one or more Edge Chromium browsers in VisualNeo rectangles and then control the browser object instances with the provided plugin actions, react when a specific browser object instance event is fired, etc. It's possible to send messages from the HTML pages to VisualNeo and vice versa, as well to execute Javascript code of the HTML pages. This plugin can be also used as a PDF documents viewer, since the used browser has a PDF viewer available out of the box. Take a look at the included plugin samples. Enhance your apps saying goodbye to the venerable Internet Explorer and hello to the modern Edge Chromium browser!

Hope can be useful for your projects.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2021.42)

Hello to all,

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


2021.42 (05/12/2021)

* Remove the NATIVE_URI "destinationType" for the Cordova Camera plugin, since it's no more supported. Add also the "app.cordova.file.wkWebViewConvertFilePath" method to the Cordova File plugin, in order to convert file URLs (only in iOS) to URLs ready to be used in Image, Audio player, Video player controls, etc. The method as been also included in the Cordova Camera plugin as "app.cordova.camera.wkWebViewConvertFilePath", for the case that we need only one of these plugins.  Update the program's help with this latest changes.

DecSoft (In thread: Camera IOS and show image)

Hello Mario,

Finally I decide to add the referred "magic method" into the Cordova File plugin. Additionally I also add the method into the Cordova camera plugin, so we get it available in both plugins, which is good in case that we need only one of them.

You can update your AB copy to this new release.

DecSoft (In thread: Camera IOS and show image)

Hello Mario,

Yes; there is a couple of options. The first one can be to retrieve the photo using the destination type "DATA_URL", that is:


app.cordova.camera.config.quality = 50;
app.cordova.camera.config.encodingType = app.cordova.camera.encodingType.JPEG;
app.cordova.camera.config.destinationType = app.cordova.camera.destinationType.DATA_URL;
app.cordova.camera.config.correctOrientation = true;

app.cordova.camera.getPicture(
  function (base64) {
    views.view3.image1.url = "data:image/jpg;base64, " + base64;
  },
  function (error) {
    app.showAlert('An error occurs: ' + error);
  },
  app.cordova.camera.config
);

If we want to use destination type "FILE_URI", in other words, if what we get is a path starting by "file://", then we must use certain "magic method" exposed by Cordova iOS for this cases: window.WkWebView.convertFilePath, which as is referred here at the end of the article.


var 
  ourUriReadyToUseInImage = window.WkWebView.convertFilePath(ourObtainedFileUrl);

I am not sure... probably I add this "magic method" to the Cordova File plugin, to we can use it from certain method of this plugin in AB.
