Hello Kasito,

I'm not sure what you means with "redirect users to a local file"... what kind of file we are talking about? Maybe you can use the "OpenWindow" action or may we need something more like the Cordova's File Opener plugin...

Hello Kasito,

In principle (and in theory) we can use the "[App.Online]" variable as well the app's "Online" and "Offline" events. The "GetNetworkType" action can be useful here too. This probably works like a charm in Cordova's builded apps.

Browsers are a little different here. The browsers' vendors can more or less support the refered stuff, and, in fact all of them support right now or want to support in the future, however, the browsers' vendors can implement the "Online/Offline" API in possible different ways.

Then how the hell we can know if we are online or not? Probably the best solution (in addition to the refered stuff) is to perform an HTTP call to our server... and wait for their answer. This is probably the only reliable way to know if we can access our online resources or not.

Hello Mike,

Ignore this. I downloaded your newest version which has the uber convenient signing tool and all is good now.

I just had to find the zipalign tool (in the Android build-tools folder) and follow your directions in another thread. That did it.

Now the app is uploaded to the Play store and will be there eventually.

Thank you for such a really good piece of software with excellent support.

Mike

Note that the "zipalign" tool maybe its not required. If the App Builder's "APK Signer" and the "Key Store" tools recognize the required programs, maybe you no need the "zipalign" tool all. Anyway, Mike, don't worry for nothing and just ask here for help when needed.

P.S. In my system the "zipalign" tools is placed here:

Hello!

thanks.David :)

You're welcome tin! :)

Hello tin,

Please, update your AB copy. The Label control has now an Icon variable which works exactly in the same way than the Push Button control Icon variable.

Hello tin,

I will take a look tin! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello wildair,

We can use AB Script (actions) and Javascript in our applications. Outside our applications, that is, in the server side (if needed) we can use any language, since App Builder is completely abstracted of that, just like any other client side application.

Hope this information can be useul for you!

Hello Jack,

thanks all
my problem is solved

Glad to know! Finally you solve the problem by adding the Cordova binary location to the environment PATH variable?

Hello Joshua,

OH,this can work!:)

That's nice!

Hello Jack,

I am preparing right now an answer to your private message, but it's good that you finally decide that a question like this be published here in the forum for everyone. The below is my answer to your message and to your question/problem too:

Hello Jack,

Thanks for your interest in my work. Hope App Builder can be useful
for you and you consider to buy one or more licenses of it in order to
use it without limitations and support the project at the same time.

About your question, that error message means the Cordova executable
is not in your system environment path variable. This is required and
therefore you must set the refered variable accordingly.

In principle the Cordova installation made the appropiate changes in the
path variable, but, for some reason this is not your case. In my system
Cordova is placed in the below directory:

C:\Users\[User name]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\bin

Then you must add such path into your PATH environment variable. If you
don't know how to proceed, take a look at this tutorial:

Hope this information can be useful for you Jack.

Hello,

sorry,I did not carefully read the manual

No problem! This time... :D

Hello Joshua,

As you can see in the HttpClient control reference, the "Url" variable is a "designtime" variable, convenient to set the URL during designtime. In runtime you can access the URL using the control "HttpClient.Request.url" variable.

On the other hand, remember we have also the HttpSetUrl action in order to set the URL of the HttpClient control, in addition to use the refered control "HttpClient.Request.url" variable.

Hope this information can be useful for you.

Hello,

Hi David,

Weldone. AB rock and ninja!

Thanks Ade! :)

Hello Joshua,

Our applications can be deployed as WebExtensions without any change or modification, however, if we use some of the WebExtensions stuff, then, of course, such stuff is only available if our applications are deployed as WebExtensions.

Then supose the Calculator application sample. Can work as a WebExtension? Yes; no problem. Can work as a mobile app? Sure; no problem. In fact the same Calculator application can work in all the supported platforms and flavours.

On the other hand, if we look at the WebExtension sample. Can work as a mobile app? Can work... but since they use some WebExtensions specific stuff, there is not too much sense to run it as a mobile application.

In the case of your refered video, the Weather application, yes, they can be deployed for any of the supported platforms and flavors, also as a WebExtension for the modern browsers.

Please, let me know if I can help you in other thing Joshua.

Hello Joshua,

Try with the "
" HTML tag. For example, in runtime:
