Hello Danny,

What to say... always thanks very much for your trust! We are happy that you can create with our software, and, we want that you continue creating with our software in the future. We will continue working hard enhancing our products and supporting our customers. So always thanks you, Danny!

Hello Peter,

Thanks for sharing, sir. Certainly, it's a question to deal with the dates variables and their different formats, etc.

Hello Michael,

I am not sure, maybe can be a good idea. Why I am not sure? Maybe you already take a look at he Database app sample: in fact it's quite easy to deal with any server's database and server's software, since our apps **only** made the appropriate HTTP calls, receiving the right server's responses, commonly JSON responses, for example, no matter if the server's database is MySQL, Oracle, etc., and if the server's

Maybe a plugin can be interesting, but after develop (and continue developing) certain more or less large app (more than 300 views, hundreds of server's scripts), we don't feel that something is missing... Anyway I am not saying "no"... I just put here some comments about. Maybe in the near future, even when we are really busy with certain other project right now (that we hope you enjoy). Anyway, if you want to place here your ideas we are happy to read it and take in consideration.

Hello Peter,

It's possible... if I am not wrong (I am not an expert) there are different kind of timestamps... so maybe what you used need to be converted to a date before the filter date can play with it. I try with a Javascript timestamp and they work as expected, passing it as a number or as a string.

Hello Peter,

It's rare... I try with an string instead of an integer timestamp... and works as expected anyway. It's rare that you get exactly the same result, so, please, manually remove the "_Compiled" directory and also the "_Cache" one, and try to compile and run the app again...

Hello Peter,

About how to show the date into the Report, we can use the "date" filter of AngularJS (read here their documentation), so we can shown the date using a code like the below one inside the Report's HTML:

We are asuming that "MyDate" is a Timestamp, but, can also be other kind of dates. You can modify the format to be used, of course (see the date filter available formats).

And about the DateInput, talking about the sample that you refer, certainly using the Timestamp apparently works as expected, that is, we can replace certain line of the sample by other one, which uses the Timestamp:

Hello Michael,

Always thanks you for your support. And, again, thanks very much for your kindly words, sir. :-)

Hello Michael,

If I am not wrong, you refer to a notice and not an error. Let me to explain. AB creates certain "android_sign.json" file by default, but, it's empty, so, a warning appear when we compile the app, remembering us that we must provide the right keystore, etc., in order to sign the app. But this is completely normal, that is, the app must be compiled anyway, and, on the other hand, when we are ready, we must to create the keystore, etc., and fill the Android Sign options (in the app options -> Cordova -> Android -> Sign) in order to finally get a release of our apps. But we no need to do it to simply debug an app.

If the above is not exactly what happen, please, refer here the exactly error that you get, so we will try to help you. Please, be patience: some problems with Apache Cordova and their platforms requeriments when start it's quite normal, but, once you get ready with it, compile our APKs (for example) it's quite easy and faster, and, you can see it in the near future.

Glad to know it, Michael! :-)

Hello Michael,

Sir, you are absolutely right. By a mistake of mine I did not upgrade your license in the latest major release of the product. Please, login into your DecSoft customer area and grab the new license serial that you can see: with this you must have no problems while register the program. Please, sorry again the possible inconveniences, Michael.

Hello Danny,

It's quite rare... just yesterday we update an Android app passing with that warning around... without problems... if now the Android bundle is mandatory, this is completely new for me. In principle the guys of Apache Cordova must support it when possible, I supose. On the other hand, read twice the article linked above, since some guy offer a possible way to create the bundle using Android Studio.

DecSoft App Builder help us to design our apps, to codify it, prepare for us the right Apache Cordova stuff, like configuration files, icons, splash screens, BAT files for Windows and SHELL files for Mac OS, etc., etc., but, in fact the responsible to create the Android APK is Apache Cordova, in other words, it's beyond to AB what we do with our created apps: we can compile it with Cordova, use it "as is" in the browsers, etc.

So... yes, maybe if you can found an utility that creates a bundle from an APK or something like that... in principle you can do it, that is, that APK is not different to any other APK in the world. But take care, Danny, read twice the Google Store submission form: I will insists: just yesterday we update an Android app (uploading the appropriate APK) and the "bundle notice" don't cause that we can't update it, so it's just a warning for us.

P.S. Maybe it's stupid, but, be sure that you choose something like "Upload APK", and not "Upload bundle", since what you have right now is the first one and not the second one.

Hello Michael,

Thanks very much for your kindly words. Any help to share our software and work it's really appreciated. About your question, it's quite rare what happen to you, since the update / reinstallations, don't cause to loss an existing license. So please, register the program again, using your customer's information, and, if the problem continue, just post it here and I will try to help you.

Hello Danny,

The message that you get is just a warning notice, that is, don't cause that your app cannot be published in the store. The point is that Apache Cordova don't support Android Bundles yet, but probably want to support it in the near future. If you don't want to way, here there are some instructions that may can help you to get a "bundle" of the app.

Hello Michael,

The App Builder's created BAT files use Apache Cordova in order to get our app's APK files. What you need is to be ready with Apache Cordova and Android Studio / Android SDK Manager. The DecSoft App Builder CLI is the command line compiler of the program: can compile our apps and prepare the icons, configuration files, etc., from the command line, instead to use the IDE.

Hello Michael,

Are you refer specifically to this sample or you ask for how to build our apps with Apache Cordova? If you refer to the first, in fact, the app sample is ready to be compiled with Apache Cordova using one of the provided BAT files. We no need to do anything else but compile the app sample.

If you refer to the second, that, is how to compile our apps with Apache Cordova, without leave this forum we can found some posts like this one and this other.
