DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2021.23)

Hello to all,

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


2021.23 (01/03/2021)

* The Table control allows now to use the style "dark" or "light" in the same way than we previosly can use for the Table's header. Now it's possible to combine these styles in both the header and the table's rows itself. Take a look at the Table sample app to see it in action.

* Replace the "text-white" CSS class used in the Toast controls for the close button when "kinds" are others than "light" and "link" and use the Bootstrap CSS framework version 5 introduced "btn-close-white" instead. Use also for the close button the new "ms-2" CSS class instead of the previosly (and removed for this version of Bootstrap CSS) "mt-2" CSS class. Take a look at the Toast sample app to see it in action.

* Replace the "badge-*kind*" CSS classes in Push button and Dropdown controls by the appropriate "bg-*kind*" CSS classes: this change is required to be ready with the Bootstrap CSS framework version 5, who has removed the "badge-*kind*" CSS classes in favor of the "bg-*kind*" CSS classes. Additionally we now automatically apply the "text-dark" CSS class when the badge kind (left or right) are set to one of the "light", "warning", "link" and "info" CSS classes. Take a look at the PushButtons sample app to see it in action.

* Despite what the help reference mentions about the "ImageFit" property of the Figure control, the point is that that property is not shown in the control's designtime inspector nor is available in the Quick code list nor is working as expected. This release fix this bug and therefore the "ImageFit" property of the Figure control is now working as expected. Take a look at the Figure sample app to see it in action.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2021.22)

Hello to all,

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


2021.22 (01/02/2021)

* This is the first major release of DecSoft App Builder, means if you purchase the product before 01-01-2020, you must to purchase an upgrade license (with a 50% off discount), or download the outdated release to continue using your outdated license. If you purchase your license after the referred date, please, login into your DecSoft customer area to grab your new license serial number. You can purchase an upgrade license as well to download the outdated release from your DecSoft customer area in our website.

* Update the Bootstrap CSS framework to the latest version. This requires a lot of changes in almost all the components of DecSoft App Builder, due to the incompatibilities of the version 4 of Bootstrap CSS framework and the version 5 of the framework, that is, the latest version. You no need to worry, because all of these changes has been made internally in DecSoft App Builder and you no need to modify your apps at all. However, if you find some problem with this new release, please, report the problem to us using our support forum and we will try to help you as quickly as possible.

* Due to a mistake we are adding some CSS style for the designer Comment control. This control do not exists at runtime, only at designtime, so, the CSS style is no needed at all. So fix this bug to avoid any CSS style for the designer Comment control.

Hello Paolo,

Glad to know that you got it! :-)

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello Paolo,

Just for your information... I try with the "@havesource/cordova-plugin-push" plugin ID (which you are using, if I am not wrong) and the sample app also works as expected here. So we can discard that the problem is realted with the the "original" plugin ID... the plugin ID which you are using is also working here as expected.

What version of Android you have installed in your device? Can you try with another device if possible?

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello Paolo,

Please, try to upgrade / reinstall NodeJS. Additionally, try with other Android device (if possible) to see if the icon is shown properly. Why? Because the image that you post above shown an icon... which is not the app's icon... so apparently the custom icon is trying to be used? Maybe it's the Android version of your device has something to say too... what version of Android are you using?

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello Paolo,

About the error while using the push plugin ID... apparently it's an internet connection problem? I can't be sure right now... the only I can say is that I use the plugin ID as you can see in the sample app and works (is installed) as expected...

About the push notification's icon, note that the image is shown correctly... but the icon fails... what I think is that you are not including the icon in your app? But you say above that the icon is copied in the expected folders...

Certainly the icon is missing (because it's blue, and in your image it's appear gray...)... but, if the icon is included in the app as an image file, I can't imagine why it's not used as expected... just like I can see it here...

Maybe the problem with the plugin ID is causing the icon problem? You have any kind of firewall running in your PC? Maybe what we must try in the first place is to install the plugin using his plugin ID... because if I can do it here... you must also do it!

Maybe you can perform a search around the error that you get when try to use the plugin ID... maybe you can found the problem that disallow to use the plugin ID at the first place: maybe update / reinstall NodeJS and GIT can help? :-/

P.S. Note the error in the console: "There is an internet connection problem or the plugin ID is no correct"... since the plugin ID is correct... because it's what I am using here... maybe the problem is certainly something related with the internet connection?

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello Paolo,

Humm... it's quite rare... I try the sample app right now and works as expected, then maybe something is missing in your own implementation... I suggest you to try the sample app, because you must see that app working as expected, like I do. After you see the sample app working as expected, we can recognize that something is missing in your own implementation.

Maybe the push notification payload? Take a look also at the server's scripts of the sample app, Paolo, since I modify the push notification payload too.

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello to all,

PS: to make you understand that my level is not very low (with PHP) have already managed to manage notifications on the database, and create a form to send individual users. The next step is to study a little How it works the topic, expander notification, And above all interact with actions.

Sounds very good!

I want to clarify that each of your in-depth posts is really useful for me because I study it with a lot of attention, Before asking anything I try to do as many tests as possible.Really Thanks for everything

No problem, Paolo! Always thank you for your trust!

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello to all,

Yesterday, as I post above, I prepare a new release of AB enhacing the "CordovaPushNotifications" sample app in order to use a personalized icon for the push notifications. I did not try the sample, because, I use exactly the same Cordova Extra XML configuration that I am using here in some of my own apps. This morning I will to try the sample app, and, to my surprise, the icon in the push notifications is not the expected one... but the default one: the app's icon itself.

Apparently my mistake was that I am using the same push icon than the app icon in my own apps, so, I can't see the problem until I try to use a completely different icon for the push notifications. Today I review the push plugin documentation and found that maybe the problem is that we must indicate more than one location for the push icon to be used. I am not sure about this, however, the point is that I can't see the icon working, so, I prepare a new Cordova Extra XML configuration option like below:


<platform name="android">
 <resource-file src="..\Fcm\google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json">
 <resource-file src="www\app\images\pushicon.png" target="app/src/main/res/drawable-mdpi/pushicon.png">
 <resource-file src="www\app\images\pushicon.png" target="app/src/main/res/drawable-hdpi/pushicon.png">
 <resource-file src="www\app\images\pushicon.png" target="app/src/main/res/drawable-xhdpi/pushicon.png">
 <resource-file src="www\app\images\pushicon.png" target="app/src/main/res/drawable-xxhdpi/pushicon.png">
 <resource-file src="www\app\images\pushicon.png" target="app/src/main/res/drawable-xxxhdpi/pushicon.png">
</platform>

Doing that, now yes, the "icon => pushicon" reference is working as expected. So I modify the "CordovaPushNotifications" sample app, in order to use the above configuration, and, prepare the payload (server side scripts samples) to use not only the "icon" key, but also the "image" key, just to see if that works as expected, and certainly it's working now as expected: both the prepared push icon and the image is what we can see in the push notification message.

I did not publish a new release of AB, but, I update the installers right now, so, please, download the current release (if you download it yesterday, you can't see a new release using the product's updater tool), in order to get ready with these modifications into the "CordovaPushNotifications" sample app. Now you can see how the "pushicon" works as expected, in addition to the "image" (also customized) that we use for the push notifications.

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello to all,

Yes; you are right, Amin: the most part is done in the server side. The app has something to say, of course, for example, when receive the push notification. The payload can tell us where to redirect the user, to one view or to another, or finally, what to do with a particular notification. In the particular case of the "icon" both client (the app) and server side is required: the app stores the icon and provide the right XML stuff in the Cordova Extra XML option to copy the icon in the expected place. Then the server refers to that icon in the push notification payload.

But you are right, the push notifications are mostly handled in the server side, and can be more or less complex, depending on our needs. In our app cases, for example, we store in the app's server database the push IDs, but also the users platform (that we take from the app using the Cordova Device plugin). Additinally we also saves the notifications itself in the database, becuase our apps offers a kind of "history of notifications", so we can show it to the users. Almost all of these stuff is optional, anyway, and, again, depend on the app that we are developing.

Thanks for sharing your code with us, Amin!

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello Paolo,

I was hoping and I was convinced that I have solved but not yet, now as per your procedure inside "\ android \ res \ drawable" I have the "pushicon" file and on the php code '' icon '=>' pushicon '"but still can't see each other! what's missing? thank you very much for your availability !! Answer when you have time, think about Christmas! :) smack!

I think we are crossing our messages. :-) Please, take a look at my very last post.

DecSoft (In thread: Push notifications)

Hello Paolo,

Please, upgrade your copy of DecSoft App Builder: I publish a new release enhancing the "CordovaPushNotifications" sample app in order to use a "icon" key in the Android payload. Basically take a look at the app's Files manager: you can see an icon included under the "Images" tab. Then take a look also at the app's Cordova Extra XML configuration option, and, finally, look at the server's PHP script "sendpush.php", in which we "define" the "icon" to be used.
