Hello Marcel,

Thanks for your interest in my work at App Builder. What we need to consider in the first place, is we are dealing with client side applications. Then, except in some platforms (and after obfuscate the code when possible) our app code is visible to everyone and everyone can change it with malicious intentions.

So any kind of authentication must be made in the server part, if the application requires it. For example, if your application deal with certain database, and you need to performs HTTP calls to communicate with such database, provide in the HTTP call the user name and password provided by the user.

Then the server check the user name and password and never provide information access to unauthenticated users.

Taking this in consideration, depend on the platform, and the application itself, we can try with one or another approach.

Hello,

Ah! Thanks, simple than I thought.

You're welcome Ade!

Hello Joseph,

Please read about the ".Hidden" variable in the "Common control variables" topic in the help.

This variable can contain a non empty string value in order to indicate that the control must be hidden. An empty string value for this variable mean the control must be visible.

We can use something like the below one to hide a button:

And something like that to show it:

Another possible way is to use the Hide, Show or Toggle actions.

Hello,

Take a look at this attached sample: 10SecsTimer.zip

The approach followed is to start a Timer with an interval of 10000 milliseconds (10 seconds) and use the Timer interval to active/change to another view.

Hello Joseph,

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I did not want to generate any kind of misunderstanding.
I will certainly follow the "rules" of this forum next time.
Sorry again.

Thanks
Joseph Caristena

Please don't apologize! In fact here is no "rules" (only some polite is required) but, certainly it's difficult to help without some kind of details about the problems. I am sorry if I sound a little "rude". There is no my intention at all Joseph! So please continue posting here about your issue in order to try to help you.

Helllo Joseph,

Hi,
My script did not work.
Reason why I am asking if it is possible.

Any comments, scripts or samples ?

Thanks
Best
Joseph Caristena

"My script did not work" do not means anything in a support forum. If you have some problem, please, refer here the specific problem, the error message you get, the steps you follow to reproduce the problem, a capture of the error, the error console messages and even an small application sample which shown the problem.

In conclusion, all the information you can provide can help to help you...

Hello Joseph,

Are you try it? In principle I can't view any problem to maintain a Timer running and checking the Location in some time interval.

Hello Ade,

Thanks for sharing. Just to remember... App Builder includes the "Pusher" and "PusherPlugin" app samples. The first one can be useful if we wanted to use the service provided by Pusher.com. We have a Pusher component out of the box in App Builder and such app sample show us how to use it.

The "Pusher" notifications can be fine, however, they are web based push notifications. The good part is we no need any Cordova plugin, so this push notifications can be deployed in browsers. On the onther hand, the "PusherPlugin" app sample show us how to use certain Cordova's plugin to do it.

In this last case we need build our application using Apache Cordova and the appropiate plugin, but, the push notifications appear in our phones even if our application is not executed or if they are in the background. The "PushPlugin" uses the google GCM services in the background, then we need an account, etc.

Hello,

Thanks very much for your kindly words! Hope you are well Ade. :)

Hello Joseph,

If you save the text in certain variable, for example, you can then "paste" the content of the variable into a Text Box... so may a possible way is to do that.

Hello Jopseh,

Unfortunatelly we can't access the Clipboard contents, then we can't paste nothing, because we don't know nothing about the Clipboard. We can **only** copy text into the Clipboard, but not paste anything from the Clipboard.

Hello Joseph,

Yes; not only you need an API key, but may also a price/plan, for example, to avoid Google ads.

Hello Joseph,

In principle this is something that can be does with the Media Player control, however, I can't promise right now a time to be ready. I need to start by their implementation, their tests, etc. Probably in a near App Builder release if no big problems appear.

Hello Joseph,

That means the Camera control is only available when the application is builded with Cordova and the Camera plugin, for example, ready for work in the Android platform.

Hello Joseph,

All the HTTP related samples like "SimplePost" and "HttpClient" allow us to upload images or other files. You can also take a look at the "Camera*" samples, but the HTTP POST approach do not require any Cordova's plugin. What you get in the server is the image properly said. Normally we move the uploaded image/file to certain server directory, then we can know that directory + image URL.
