DecSoft (In thread: Ready for the next DecSoft App Builder's features? ;-))

Hello to all,

For your information, here is the new release of DecSoft App Builder, which introducing the app resources manager and the app languages manager, in addition to other news, changes, fixes and enhancements.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.22)

Hello to all,

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


2020.22 (10/16/2019)

* Other lot of other minor changes, fixes and enhancements from the previous release of the product, no one to be expressly mentioned here, but a bunch of them.

* Add the new "app.getLanguageNameFromCode()" method, which returns a specific app language name from the specified language code.

* Add the new "app.getLanguageCodeFromName()" method, which returns a specific app language code from the specified language name.

* Add the new "app.getLanguagesCodes()" method, which returns the available app languages codes. This method can be useful, for example, to fill a Select control with the available app languages codes, to the user can choose one of them.

* Add the new "app.getLanguagesNames()" method, which returns the available app languages names. This method can be useful, for example, to fill a Select control with the available app languages names, so the user can choose one of them.

* Add the new "app.getLanguages()" method, which returns the available app languages in form of an Array of objects. Every object has two properties, "code", with a language code, and "name", with a language name.

* Add the new "LanguageName" option (and property at runtime) for the app. This "LanguageName" must match the already available "Language" option (and property at runtime), which stores the default or designing app language code. The "LanguageName" is useful not only to be used "as is", but, because it's also take in consideration when prepare the "applangs.js" Javascript stuff.

* Include the new App Resources and the App Languages managers in the produc help, as well the other new stuff that has been introduced in this product release.

* Include the new applangs.js Javascript file (which include the app languages resources, sidebar and interface languages) in the Minimize code tool, so this file is also minimized as well other app files like the main app.js.

* Cache the languages Javascript files generated by the App Resources and the App Languages managers. These files can be properly required everytime the app is run (so we can't wait for a build, for example), but caching the files certainly prepare it to be available causes a minimum impact when compile the app.

* Add "Search" inputs for the app views, dialogs, frames, controls and properties ListBoxes controls, in the App Languages manager. As usual in the DecSoft App Builder IDE, we can use these ListBoxes to filter what is show in the respective ListBox.

* The new "app.translateView()" method translate the current app view or app dialog (including the possible used app frames) into the specified "app.language", if that language is available and ready to be used. You can see this method in action in the also new "Languages" sample app.

* The new "app.resource()" method returns a specific resource value from the App Resources. This method is "language aware", that is, the method take in consideration the value of the also new "app.language" variable, so the resource is retrieved in the right language, if translated, or, the original value, if no translation is available.

* Introducing the new App Languages manager. The App Languages manager provides an easy to use way to translate our app interface into another languages. The App Languages manager offers a convenient editor to translate the app controls placed in app views, app dialogs and app frames. The App Languages manager also provides a way to translate the App Resources, and, finally, also provides a way to translate the optional app sidebar.

* Introducing the new App Resources manager. The App Resources manager give us the ability to establish one or more arbitrary Javascript resources (strings, objects, arrays, JSON) for the app to be available from the scratch when it's run. We can use the also new "app.resource()" method in order to get a specific app resource in both Javascript and HTML code (for example, to show a message in an alert, but, also to show a message inside an HTML control).

* Fix an introduced bug in the compiler message log that can cause that an app with hundreds of controls can take a while to be compiled, too much than the required one. This release fix that possible annoying problem.

DecSoft (In thread: Html Tags in AB/ PHP JSON data to AB)

If the above didn't reply your question, please, let me know, Michael.

Just post here if you have any specific problem or question.

DecSoft (In thread: New AB : interface layout ?)

Hello Samuel,

Unfortunately, the layouts cannot be configured in the new DecSoft App Builder. We want to do something about it in the future, so, it's something expected to be available, when other tasks give us some free time. :-)

If the above didn't reply your question, please, let me know, Samuel.

DecSoft (In thread: Publish to iOS)

Hello Danny,

In fact it's more or less easy. Once you check the "iOS" platform in the app options, when you compile the app, you get various "SHELL" files. What you must to do is to copy the app "compiled" directory into a Mac OS. Once you get the files in the Mac OS, you can run one of the "SHELL" files, for example, the "debug" one. Once that "SHELL" file is executed, Apache Cordova has been generate a "project" ready to be opened by the XCode IDE.

And that's all. You can open the project with XCode and start to debug the app, launch it in an attached device, archive it, etc.

P.S. Note that we don't get a "success" message after execute the "SHELL" file in a Mac OS, in the same way that we get a "success" message when execute a "BAT" file for the Android platform in a Windows PC. Don't worry about that. Once the "SHELL" file ends, just close the console and goto XCode to open the generated project.

DecSoft (In thread: Inserting Admob to AB)

Hello Michael,

Please, try to don't mix various questions in the same thread: you already open a thread here about your question related with JSON and PHP: in fact, I propose something in that thread, I did not get a reply yet. So, if you can, please, continue in the linked thread.

We will be happy to help, and I say we, because, any DecSoft customer has the ability to participate in the forum: some of them already does, some others just no need it, some others... etc. So I will try to help you and of course any other who can participate can try to do it too.

DecSoft (In thread: Inserting Admob to AB)

Hello Michael,

Are you try with the "Admob" sample app?

DecSoft (In thread: Ready for the next DecSoft App Builder's features? ;-))

Hello Asley,

Thanks for your post! I will expect to publish it as quickly as possible: there is some work to do yet. :-)

DecSoft (In thread: Ready for the next DecSoft App Builder's features? ;-))

Hello to all,

So, are you ready for the next DecSoft App Builder's features? Just take a look at the results!

DecSoft (In thread: Problem using HTML control and Other Control on Same Page)

Hello Michael,

If I understand well, what can happen is that the contents of the HTML control exceeds the control height, so, it's placed out of the control, causing that other controls below the HTML control don't appear as expected. If this is what happen, the solution is to use an "overflow-y" CSS rule (set it to "auto") for the HTML control, so their contents are shown using a scroll if needed, but, never exceeds the control height.

Take a look at the below sample app, copy the code and save it into a "MyApp.ab" file, for example:

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.21)

Hello to all,

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


2020.21 (10/11/2019)

* Fix an error that occur if we check one or more Apache Cordova plugin in the app options, and, after that, try to use the code editor. The problem occur because some expected files cannot be found, since the installation assistant are not including it. This problem has been solved in this release and the appropriate files are shipped. Thanks Phap Duy for the report!

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2019.49)

Hello to all,

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

Note that this new release of DecSoft App Builder refers to the previous generation of DecSoft App Builder, which is still available, only for our customers, in their DecSoft customer area, under the "Releases" tab.


2019.49 (10/10/2019)

* Enhance the Android "run" Batch file in order to start the debug console just after our app has been launched in our attached Android device. Doing this we no need to open a new command line window and type the right command to see the debug console, but, the "run" BAT do it automatically for us. The debug console is quite important to debug the apps with an attached Android device, since offers to us the same information than the browsers's debug console offers: valuable information to debug our apps.

* Remove the SwipeUp and SwipeDown events from the HTML and Table controls. Unfortunately, these events block the scroll over the referred controls, but these controls are intended to place several contents, that is, they are commonly "scrollables". The app and the apps views and dialogs SwipeUp and SwipeDown events are maintained and can be used if needed.

DecSoft (In thread: Linux binary building)

No problem! ;-)

DecSoft (In thread: Linux binary building)

Hello Paolo,

I did not tested it yet, but, the Cordova Electron platform support Linux, according to the documentation of Apache Cordova, and, DecSoft App Builder provides the right SHELL files for the Cordova Electron platform, in principle to be used in Mac OS, but, probably this shell files can be also used in Linux.

Everybody can read the DecSoft support forum for learning purposes, however only DecSoft customers can post new threads. Purchase one or more licenses of some DecSoft products in order to give this and other benefits.
