DecSoft (In thread: Compiling Windows EXE)

Hello to all,

Well. I am wrong all this time! Finally I know what happen with the above referred errors when build our apps using the Cordova Electron platform. Finally I can get some help and understand what is happen: there must be a "package.json" file available to be used, and, DecSoft App Builder never creates that file, because it's no needed for other platforms than Cordova Electron.

This new release of DecSoft App Builder prepares the right "package.json" file, and, also perform some enhancements over the created Batch and Shell files for Cordova Electron: basically we can use now the "run" batch file, for example, and get a preview of our app, before build it like we can do using the "debug" or the "release" batch files.

I hope this information can be of your interest!

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.52)

Hello to all,

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


2020.52 (01/12/2020)

* Creates a "package.json" file for Apache Cordova. This file is never required before for platforms like Android nor iOS, however, it's required by the Cordova Electron platform, and, since the file is missing, we get problems when build our apps using the Cordova Electron platform. This release fixed that problem by creating a "package.json" file ready to be used.

* Add the "--nobuild" flag in the "run" Batch and Shell files for the Cordova Electron platform. Electron has the ability to preview the app without build it first, and, so, the referred flag is the best to be used in the "run" Batch and Shell files. Remove also the usage of the Android Debugger Bridge in the Cordova Electron Batch files: have no sense there.

2020.51 (01/11/2020)

* Add the window.setTimeout(), window.setInterval() and window.clearInterval() methods into the Quick Code list as well in the help documentation. This methods are useful to prepare some code to be executed after certain amount of time, or in certain interval of time. We add also into the documentation the reference for the window.alert(), window.console.info(), window.console.debug() and window.console.error() methods.

* Add the new ImageFit property to the Video Player control. This property act exactly in the same way than the ImageFit of the Image control, for example, and, allow to control the video apparence, no matter the level of app scale.

DecSoft (In thread: AppBuilder cordovarduino plugin)

Hello Matteo,

I did not have experience, but, some Apache Cordova plugin like this one, may can help. Take a look if possible: finally we are talking about JavaScript, that is, we must use the Cordova plugin provided JavaScript API, so, even if we have no experience, we can try and go ahead, using the right JavaScript code.

* Add the new "app.query" property, which stores the possible URL arguments passed to the app views or just a "false" value if no URL has been passed.

* Enhance the Table sample app with a designer comment wich describes a bit for what the Table control is intended to use, and what to look in the Table sample app.

DecSoft (In thread: Report control in the new AB)

Hello Danny,

Glad to know that you got it! :-)

DecSoft (In thread: Report control in the new AB)

Hello Danny,

Yes; certainly there is not an exactly replacement, but, the most similar control to the Report is the Table control: works very similar to the Report control in the "old" AB, except that the JSON which feed his "data" property is not taken from any URL, but, it's the duty of the user to provide it.

Please, Danny, take a look at the Table sample app. Then, look also at the HTML sample app. And finally look also to the JSONSource sample app. This last one uses an HTTP Client control in order to load some JSON from a file: well, that's exactly what you can do with the Table control: use an HTTP Client control to load the proper Array of objects.

Please, look at the referred samples, and, don't hesitate to post here any further question.

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.

* 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".
