Hello to all,

Just to say that the currently available version of the Mozilla Firefox browser is perfectly capable to run our WebExtensions applications! Also I made certain change in the app core code in order to fix a problem with app's images in WebExtensions on Mozilla Firefox. So update your AB copy Samuel and enjoy it!

Hello to all,

Hello to all,

Finally I made certain changes in App Builder in order to fix some problems related with the icons and splash screens generator. I encourage you to update your App Builder copy Samuel.

* As a try to solve the problem explained in the next point, App Builder try to copy some Cordova's Windows splash screen images into the icons directory, which have non sense at all. This is fixed now and such images are not copied anymore.

* The splash screens files for the Cordova's Windows platform has been correctly generated by App Builder, however, they are not well referenced in the Cordova's configuration file, causing such files are not taken in consideration when build the application. This is fixed now. Thanks Bekhzod to point me in the right direction!

* App Builder no more generates icons and splash screens for the Windows 8 platform, since this has been depretaced by Cordova (and also by App Builder time ago) and use in their place the icons and splash screens generated by the Windows platform.

* The App Builder's icons generated for the Cordova Windows Phone 8 are not well referenced in the Cordova's configuration file. They refer to a "wp8" folder when the icons are generated and placed at a "wp" folder. This is fixed now.

* A new icon size has added for the Cordova's Windows platform: StoreLogo.scale-240.png. This is apparently the only one icon missing when I try to build a sample application for the Cordova's Windows platform. This icon, however, continue to be untaken by Cordova or Windows, and I need some further investigation. Anyway this icon appear to not used by Windows, at least when our app is launched.

Hope this can be useful!

Hello to all!

Hi The Boss,

Good to see automated from AB :cool: instead of of Manual using windows command-line.

Good bye to black screen and no more question from my partner "what is that black screen running on your computer?" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks David

You're welcome Ade!

Hello to all!

To anyone who are interested in this thread, that is, how to sign our APK files, I want to inform that the latest release of App Builder incorporates a couple of new tools:

1º The APK Signer tool, which can be used to sign our released APK files in a visual way.

2º The Key Store tool, which can be used to create Key Store files (required to sign apps).

I really hope these news App Builder tools can be useful. Certainly we can continue using the command line, but now we have also a GUI alternative included in App Builder "out of the box".

Hello to all!

Just an update to this thread. The "themes" directory is, from some releases ago, placed in the User Documents folder, no more in the "AppData" folder. You can find your App Builder files (Themes, Plugins, I18n and Samples) in your User Documents folder, under an "AppBuilder" subdirectory.

That's all! :)

Hello,

I forget another possible way to do it: use an HTML IMG tag in the "Text" property of the button, something like:

Suposing you previously add a "Ninja.png" image using the App's Files manager.

Hello Mike,

You have two possible ways, for example, you can use buttons' icons, or you can use an Image control which can act like a button thanks to their Click and other events.

Hi David,

After update to another version. There is no issue with the installation language in Spanish on fly again.

Thanks David.

Happy App Builder!

Glad to know it Ade! :)

Hello Samuel,

You're welcome! App Builder rocks! And you are near to be an App Builder ninja! :)

Hello Sabino,

Hello David,

thank you so much for your deep and accurate help ! You solved my issue and now all works great !

Great Job !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sabino

PS: Compliments for your APPBuilder !!! No APPBuilder No Party !!!!!!!

Thanks very much! I am happy to help and certainly Push notifications appear a very good addition to our applications. I know you have lot of works yet in the application, then let me know if I can help in something.

Thanks again for your kindly words Sabino.

Hello Joshua,

About this last question, I think you can access the "Response" variable. You must try it.

P.S. Please, put every new question in a new forum's thread. :)

Hello to all,

I update App Builder right now in order to include certain changes made over the "PushPlugin" app sample. Now, instead of use one PHP script for both, the registration process and the send message process, we use two separates PHP scripts, and also an HTML file with a form, which we can fill to send a push notification easily.

On the other hand, remember this application uses certain Google API authorization and credentials made specifically for the sample, so, if you want to use the "Push plugin" in your application, you must get your own Google API authorization and credentials. If anyone need some help about this question post here and I will try to help.

If anyone want to try, folowing the below link you can download the "PushPlugin" APK file, then you can install it in your Android device.

PushPlugin.zip

Once you do that you can already request a push notification (as a sample) from the application, or, even better, using the below HTML form:

Attention! I have the sample application installed, then any message you send arrive also to me and to other possible users too!

Hello Joshua,

Just for your information about the "Build", "Debug" and "Run" commands:

Build (F8) - This command build the application, but no save it before. This command is intented when want to deploy our application, that is, we debug it previously, save the latest changes and then we are ready to deploy so we use the "Build" command. The "Build" do not include debug information in the application, which is good to enter in production.

Run (CTRL + F9) - This command run the latest app's build available. They build the app (without save it first and without include debug information) if a previously build is not found. This command is intented to be use when we want to launch the latest build quick and fast, since this command don't save the app nor build it (if found an existing build) but just launch the latest build available.

Debug (F9) - This command save the application changes if any, then build the application including debug information on it, and finally launch the application into the integrated debugger. This command is intented to use when we are working on the application, and just want to debug it to review the latest changes, etc.

---

This last (Debug) is the prefered command when work in the application, since they include debug information in the application and additionally the Debug command doesnt' write manifests files for our applications nor other stuff which is not required to debug the application into the integrated debugger. So this is another point to use the "Build" (F8) command when we want to deploy our application: the "Build" command yes write manifests, prepare icons, splash screens, config files and other stuff.

So in conclusion:

1º Use the Debug (F9) command when work in the application. Additionally use the "Run" (CTRL+F9) when you only want to launch the latest build/debug.

2º Use the Build (F8) when you are ready with your application and want the files you need in order to deploy it into your desired platforms.

Hope this information can help you Joshua. :)

Hello Joshua,

Don't appear lot of code to me, and after all they have their sense and logic. The only think I see is something like this:

This can be work, but, I think not recommended. A better approach can be one of these:

About the "Response" of an HTTP Client control, if we are talking about a JSON response, then we can access that object directly using the "Response" variable, without any other thing to do before. You can take a look at some of the "JSON*" included app samples.

Please, Joshua, post here any further question you have.
