DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.49)

Hello to all,

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


2020.49 (01/05/2020)

* Add the new IconsMenu sample app (number 58), which show various things, for example, the usage of the new Image Push control, but, also, a very good icons menu approach for our apps, with differents app views dedicated to the app menu.

* Add the new Image Push control. This control combine the Push button and the Image controls in a sole control which looks like a Push button, with an image inside. In fact it's possible to use a Push control and place an IMG HTML tag in his "text" property, in order to get something similar to the Image Push control, but, using the Push control we can see the choosed image at designtime, for example.

Hello to all,

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


2020.48 (01/04/2020)

* Update the VueJS, VueJS Ex, VueJS Router and the jQuery JavaScript libraries to their latest stable releases. Made other minor changes, fixes and enhancements.

* Due to a bug the debug certificate password for the Electron platform are not properly load and saved, and, therefore, not well writen in the build.json file for that platform. This release fix that bug and now the referred JSON file is prepared as expected.

* The app.resource() method don't fail now if the specified app language do not exists. Instead of fail with a JavaScript error, the method returns the specified app resource in the default app language.

* Fix a bug in the NavBar control which causes that we can't set the "background" property to "dark" at designtime. The "background" can be perfectly changed at runtime, but not at designtime. This fix solve the bug.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.47)

Hello to all,

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


2020.47 (01/01/2020)

* Add the Inputs sample app (number 57) which show how we can place controls beyond the app view height, which can be useful, for example, to place lot of inputs controls in a sole app view, and not divided in various of them. Additionally, this sample app also show the usage of the "app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" and the recently added "app.setDialogReadyForDeviceKeyboard()", to be ready with the devices' keyboards in platforms like Android and iOS.

* Add the new "app.setDialogReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" method, which can be used for the same thing than the "app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" , but specifically designed to be used with app dialogs, instead of app views.

* Change the internal implementation of the "app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" method, in order to run properly from even when the first app view (before the app DeviceReady event). Now the method attach a "deviceready" event so works as expected even if we place it in the first app view.

* We find a unaceptable behaviour in the Android (and probably the iOS platform, even when we don't test it) when we place controls beyond the app view height, due to the attachment of the app SwipeUp and app SwipeDown events, as well the app view SwipeUp and SwipeDown events. For the moment, we remove these events from the app, so the behaviour in the Android platform become as expected. Since the Hummer JavaScript library (used by these events) are available in AB "out of the box", you can continue use the referred events if you wanted, by attaching yourself to the view or the app window.

Hello to all,

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


2020.46 (12/31/2019)

* Made the appropriate changes in the app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard() method to fit his help description: by a mistake this method continues to require the view name argument, but, the help explicit that we no need to set any argument, since the method uses the current view or dialog automatically. Now the method works exactly as is described in the help.

Hello to all,

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


2020.45 (12/29/2019)

* Add the Container sample app (number 56), which show how we can use a Container control and an HTML control in order to prepare some kind of "headered panel", which can contains other controls like Text Inputs. It's a sample of a posible controls combination.

* Add the JSONSource sample app (number 55), which show how we can use a JSON file included in the app from the app files manager, in order to feed a Dropdown control, even including some arbitrary items' properties to be used internally by us.

Hello to all,

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


2020.44 (12/28/2019)

* Add the Themes sample app (number 54), which show how we can include themes in the app to be availables at runtime, how to fill a Select control with all the available app themes, and, finally, how to establish a theme by using the "app.setAppTheme()" method.

* Enhance the app.setAppTheme() method in order to return "false", if the theme to be established are not available (because has not be choosed from the app options), and, on the other hand, return the name of the established theme, as well to set the "app.theme" with the established theme.

Hello to all,

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


2020.43 (12/26/2019)

* Add the new IFrame2 sample app (number 53) which show how we can send messages from the app to some used IFrame and also how to receive messages in the app sent by the used IFrame.

* Add the new app event Message, which is useful to receives messages from a call to window.postMessage() in another browsing context, like an IFrame, that we can use in our app. So we can establish a communication with the IFrame and viceversa.

* The app Resize event are not properly set due to a bug, which is fixed in this release (the mistake is that we are assigning the Online event code to the Resize event).

* Place the missing "defaultText" argument of the method "prompt" of the Cordova Dialogs plugin, in order to be available into the Quick Code List and method's help "hints".

DecSoft (In thread: JSON Data Parsing)

Hello Mark,

No problem! Glad to help! :-)

DecSoft (In thread: JSON Data Parsing)

Hello Mark,

Just for your information, there is a new sample app named "GetJson" included in the current release of DecSoft App Builder. Please, take a look and don't hesitate to post here if you have any further question.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.42)

Hello to all,

2020.42 (12/19/2019)

* Add the new GetJson sample app (number 52). This sample app shown how easy is to get a JSON response from a server's script and then just access the JSON object properties like any other JavaScript variable, just by using the HTTP control's "response" property.

DecSoft (In thread: JSON Data Parsing)

Hello Mark,

Yes; don't worry, because, it's quite easy. So once you get working one time... you know what to do in next similar situations. May I can provide a sample app in the near future, however, I think you can got it also if I refer here the steps.

First of all, prepare a server's script, in the below case a PHP one, which returns some JSON object to our app, when it's called:


// 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;
}

// This is a sample of data, which can become from a database
// for example. The point is that we can return here an associated
// array, which later "json_encode" convert into the right JSON.

$data = array(
  'firstName' => 'John',
  'lastName' => 'Doe'
);

// Set the appropriate header (we returns a JSON object)

header('Content-Type: application/json');

// And echo the JSON as the response of this script.
echo json_encode($data);

// Exit the script execution here.
exit;

Use an HTTP control, and, set his "Url" property to the URL of the above script, for example: "https://www.mydomain.com/myscript.php".

Then use the "execute()" method of the HTTP control to made the HTTP call. And finally look at the most interesting part: in the Done event of the HTTP control, you can access the JSON object using the HTTP control "response" property:


// Show the name of the user
alert(views.view1.http1.response.firstName);

// Show the last name of the user
alert(views.view1.http1.response.lastName);

So, as you can see, can't be more easy: the HTTP control "response" is the JSON object that the script / server returns, and we can just access that JSON object properties like any other JavaScript property, like you can see above.

Please, take your time and try to prepare a sample app based in the above information: if you need some help at some point, just post it here and we will try to help you. :-)

DecSoft (In thread: Resizing with the Camera control)

Hello Peter,

It's curious. According to the documentation, the "targetWidth" and "targetHeight" do not mention the "issue" with the "photolibrary". I know the AB documentation mention it, that is, apaprently these options can't work if we use the "photolibrary" option. Well... I just try it right now and apparently the options working as expected. So I can't be sure why the AB help says other thing...

You can try it by yourself, Peter, I just use the "Camera3" sample app too, and just set a "TargetWidth=100", leaving "TargetHeight=-1". And apparently works like expected in both cases: if we made a photo using the camera, or if we choose an image from the "photogallery". Maybe we can resize an image using some JavaScript techniques, however, since you use the Camera control, maybe the referred options are enough.

DecSoft (In thread: ScrCopy: good for screen mirroring)

Hello to all,

I am trying to prepare some video(s) for the new DecSoft App Builder, and, one of the requirements, is to get the screen of my attached smartphone into my PC screen, so everybody what happen in the attached device. Before today I was using Airdroid, which is a good application for screen mirroring.

However, searching for an alternative to AirAndroid, I find the SrcCopy tool, and I get really impressed, so I want to share it here in this forum.

First of all, we are talking about an open source project which is available for various platforms, including Microsoft Windows. Secondly, ScrCopy requires only the Android SDK and the ADB tool installed, which is something that we already has installed, if we target Android apps.

Last, but not least, ScrCopy allow us to control the attached device using the mouse, and, the device in question no need to be "rooted" before. There are other options, but, just these ones, made to ScrCopy a very interesting tool when target the Android platform.

Certainly, if we are debugging an app using an attached Android device, probably we can see the attached device screen without problems... however, in some situations, like to get a video of the device screen from the PC, SrcCopy can be a very good tool.

That's all! I hope that ScrCopy can be useful to you too!

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.41)

Hello to all,

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


2020.41 (12/16/2019)

* The icons and the splash screens images which DecSoft App Builder prepares for the different Apache Cordova platforms, are not taking in consideration the program's behaviour configuration that determines these images compression level. This causes that sometimes we can get an Apache Cordova error while get a release APK for Android of our apps. Now this problem is fixed, by applying a default compression level for the referred images, and, respecting the configuration values for such compression level.
