Hello again,

The MediaPlayer control do not include certain events that may can be useful to get your desired behaviour, then right now I add to the MediaPlayer control the Click, DblClick, MouseUp, MouseDown, MouseEnter and MouseLeave events.

Hope these events can be useful to you Walter, and also to other people.

Hello Walter,

Glad to see you! Hope your holidays are good. Well. In principle the MediaPlayer.Controls variables can only be used at designtime, that is, to determine if the MediaPlayer must shown the controls or not. Here we have the option to "hide" the controls included by the MediaPlayer and use our own controls and the appropiate actions to play, pause, stop, etc.

Anyway, I update right now the program in order to allow us to shown the MediaPlayer controls and then hide/show also in runtime. But this cannot be made using the MediaPlayer.Controls variable, which continue available to set only in designtime. The App Builder recent update identify now the MediaPlayer controls container, and therefore we can hide/show in runtime using a code like this in order to get your expected behaviour:

A couple of things must be considered here: firstly we can see the "MediaPlayer1Controls" identifier, which we must use with the "GetStyle" and "SetStyle" actions. The identifier is composed with the name of the control (MediaPlayer1 in this case) suffixed by "Controls". Secondly, to allow the above code to work propertly, the MediaPlayer.Controls variable must be "true", because, at this time, App Builder do not include the HTML markup for the controls if we put "false" in that variable.

Update your copy of App Builder now, Walter, play it, and tell me if this can help you or not.

Hello Nelson,

Maybe different devices can deal with the QR codes in various ways. On the other hand, remember npQrco produces text QR code. We can add some kind of "tokens" in that text (like the "mailto:") but our QR code always is based in plain text.

Hello Nelson,

Something like this works fine to me:

I read the generated QR code image (using the npQrco sample) here in my Android device and I can choose the GMail app, for example, and the email address, subject and body are placed as we can expected.

Hello again,

This problem has been fixed. Update your App Builder copy!

Hello Jürgen,

You are right. I will try to solve the problem. In the meanwhile, we can remove the argument and then create again with the desired description.

Hello again,

Well. Apparently we can't go without the "window.App.RootScope" variable. I update right now the program give us access to "window.App.RootScope" and "window.App.Scope". The first variable can be used to access app variables, just like you do in your app. The second one can be used to access app functions.

The External Javascript tutorial has been updated as well the External app sample.

Sorry for the inconveniences and thanks for the advise Walter.

Hello Walter,

You are completely right and I am wrong. The problem is that some variables are accesibles and not others, depending in where the variables are defined. Please, sorry for the inconveniences. I am working right now for a solution.

Hello Walter,

In principle "window.App.Scope" is now the way to access app variables. In my tests I can access it without problems, then, please, assert you use the very latest version of App Builder not upgrading from the program, but downloading from their web: www.getappbuilder.com. Uninstall the program and then install the new release. If you continue having problems then I will take a look in more deep.

No problem Nelson!

Hello Cícero,

Please, try this:

1º Uninstall App Builder from the Windows control panel

2º Delete these directories completely:

3º Download the latest App Builder release and install it:

http://www.getappbuilder.com/

I did not try in a VM, but App Builder must works in Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7.

In fact I use Windows 10 at this moment.

Hello Nelson,

Don't worry. In fact we can use the npEncodeDateTime action to prepare certain value (a "Delphi" datetime string, stored in the result variable) in order to do later two possible things: just use the value like you do above, for example, to show the datetime in an alertbox, or, more commonly, to be use it with other plugin related actions, in order to compare dates, increment days, get number of between days, etc.

The npWeeksBetween action, for example, offer us a sample of the npEncodeDateTime use.

Hello Nelson,

What's wrong to you?

Always thanks you Walter!

Hello,

Yes; if we wanted to show the checkbox over an image, then we need to play with the "z-index". In my test the checkbox appear over the image if assign a "z-index=9999" in both designtime (using the object inspector) or in runtime (using the SetStyle action). Try to assign a value like "9999" to the checkbox "z-index" Walter.

About the "no cache" meta tag, finally I add a new HTML tab into the app options dialog. From this new tab we can specify if App Builder must automatically add app information and prevent browsers cache using the index.html metadata, and, we can also specify custom metatags to be added into the refered index.html file.
