Hello Peter,

Yes; I think you need the IfEx action...

Hello to all,

I think in your last post you are talking about some possible scenarios of the app, which of course you may need to control. In other words, the app must be ready to work in different scenarios, like what you describe using questions: "So what if one them don't deliver, or delivers 1-2 seconds late?" I supose that things like that must be implemented in an app level, that is, it's a question of the app's implementation. Am not saying that this all are easy, of course... just that maybe it's a question of think about, work on it, etc. Step by step, question by question...

Yes; again my help try are not very useful at all... but is what I can say right now: supose a bad connection scenario... then your server hardware can't do nothing,... so in my opinion it's the app who must control that kind of possible scenarios... in order to maintain the things working... at least in the best way as possible.

Hello Ade,

Apparently Apache Cordova can produce right now 64 bits apps for Android: the only "problem" can appear if any of our used Apache Cordova's plugins don't support Android 64 bits, so, in fact depend on the app that we are development and the plugins that we are using on that. If the plugins are ok, then our apps are apparently ok too for the Android 64 bits.

Hello Ade,

I am not sure if there is any issue... by default, the min SDK target is already Android 4.4 and the API level 19. Other options may must continue existing... to be used if needed, maybe not with the newest version of Apache Cordova, but with older ones, again, if we need something like that.

Hello to all,

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

Hello John,

We can try to see what can be the cause if your work computer anyway... but I am not sure how to help you right now! :-(

Hello John,

Your code it's quite curious, since, in principle, the DropDown controls expected a non associative Array: you provide an associative Array, so the control take the key's values. Maybe other do the things in other way, but, your code works as expected too.

About your concern, certainly you are not exactly set the value of the AB controls. Do that it's just replace one line of your code:

Doing that you can therefore access to the controls' "Value" variables like always.

Hello to all,

Thanks for your post, Samuel. Honestly I am not an expert in the server side, however, I think Samuel is correct, that is, probably we are talking about the server's hardware capabilities at the end. Of course, other things must be taken in consideration.

For example, from your three options, I will choose the first one, if possible, discarding the second one, if there is another way. One of the apps that I am developing (also using AB for the client side) uses a websocket with very, very good results.

The app that I am talking about are daily used by more or less 500 people (workers of a company) and the websocket provide to the app basically a chat feature: a very powerfull chat, so we know when someone is online, is typing, etc.

We use the websocket's server also in combination with push notifications, so, if an user is not online (is not in the app), we send to it a push notification, who open the app, who recognize the push type and shown to the user the latest chat's messages.

Once we can go working with the websocket... we love it. I think there is nothing that can be better, except maybe your third option, that is, suposing we no need a websocket, a real bidirectional communication between the server and the clients, and viceversa.

The main problem for the websocket I think it's the required of an own server, that is, probably (but we can talk with our hosting provider) install a websocket server into a shared hosting, for example, like the hosting who serve this webpage.

We need to install a websocket server (we use a Java websocket, if anyone are interested, I can provide here more information), work with it (on the server side) and also in the client side, of course, with the WebSocket control of AB, for example.

Can take a while... I remember we expend several time and work to setup the websocket, etc., but finally it's one of the best feature of the app in my opinion. And that's what I can say at this time about this... not too much help (like Samuel provide), but go ahead and post here any further question or comment.

Hello John,

If we are talking about an AB input control, then we probably want to use their value variable:

Your code can work also with AB controls (or an HTML input control that you place inside an HTML control) but if we are talking about AB controls you probably want to use the control's variables.

No problem, Amin!

Hello John,

Yes; please, take a look at the "WebExtension" sample.

Hello Amin,

Maybe not the media file but how the media file is served? You mention a "local file"... maybe this have something to say... on the other hand, if you can find a way to reproduce the problem in a sample app, I can try to take a look too, so maybe we can see what happen.

Hello John,

I think that can understand exactly what you wanted. The problem is the time... since you don't post an specific question... I will try to prepare an example for you as quickly as possible. They can take not too much time... or may the things become complex and more time is required... so let me to have some time in order to start with that sample and then I will post it here.

Hello to all,

In addition to the Amin's suggestion (thanks for that, sir, I really appreciate it), maybe it's important to know also the context in which we use the image. For example, if we are using an Image control of AB, or if we use an IMG HTML tag inside an HTML control of AB. You can take a look at the "Images" sample.

In principle we can use CSS and / or Javascript if it's required to deal with some specific image or images. But maybe a bit more information about how that image must be used (where, etc.) can be good too.

Hello Amin,

I am not an expert in media files (which are an entire world...) but probably the issue is related with the media file itself, or maybe the browser... let me to explain. The "loop" option works... so, if for some specific media file the "loop" option don't work, the cause (if I am not wrong) is the media file itself, maybe the server who serve the media file... but not specifically the media player control... who work with other files...

Yes; I know that may the above answer is not the best... but may you can investigate around the used media files, Amin, specifically the media files who don't work... maybe in comparisson with the media files who work. Please, post here if you discover something... or if you have any other further question.
