Building a mobile app

Hi, I've installed phonegap desktop and designing my app in Muse. The updates are working fine and testing on my phone works great. Is this the way to build a mobile app? Can it work? I don't know code at all.

Ok, thanks, well let me ask you this then. What if I wanted to make an app that isn't informational only, what's the best way to get things to work? can I design the app in muse for the informational stuff and then insert jquery code in to do more dynamic things? I ultimately want to be able to do some phone manipulation if you know what I mean. Maybe access the phones voice recorder, or be able to leave a voice text, or access the phone's calendar to make appointments. What would be the easiest way for a non coder to do something like that?

Adobe Tutorial - "Hello World: Build a mobile app in five minutes"

Ok, I was able to follow everything in the tutorial down to where we are testing the application on the actual device. Running the app on the desktop worked just fine.
When I told FB to test app on my LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile phone with Andriod 2.2 installed), I get the following error:
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this??? This is the very first time of trying to produce any mobile app (ever).
I am running Windows XP (SP3), Flash Builder for PHP 4.5 installed, manually updated SDK to 4.5.1. I have loaded the LG Optimus V phone drivers (downloaded from LG website). They have 3 versions. None of them worked when I tried testing my app.

MMM, good question. Going to take some digging. I asked the people at Virgin Mobile and they were clueless. I have an email into technical people at LG (my phone is a LG model VM670). I guess they don't have anyone working on the weekends. Hopefully, they will answer sometime this monday.

Building Native Mobile App for Android: error message, build fail

Hi,
I'm trying RH10 on a Win 8 x64 system, trying to get the generate for mobile devices, Android to work. I've installed the Android SDK (part of the complete ADT) in a "Development" folder in the C drive, installed JDK for Win 64, added the PhoneGap and ANT unzipped folders to the "Development" folder and then in the RH10 dialog to generate the Android APK, I've pointed set the correct paths to these tools. (All installed tools are correct for my OS, Win 8 x64.)
No matter what I try, using a sample file (EmployeeCare, Salesbuilder), I get an error message at the very end of the build process. Please see the screenshot showing the error message and the relevant part of the log which looks like the ANT path is not working correctly. The build fails every time. I've tried to do some troubleshooting online and for example, came across setting the environment variables for the ANT folder, which I did, but with no success in fixing the problem. The Eclipse installation connects with the JDK and runs OK if I simply boot it up.
My path settings are in a second screenshot below.
(I've tried the ANT path with different values, for example "C:\Development\apache-ant-1.9.0-bin" etc. Doesn't prevent error message and build failure.)
I am not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. At this point, I would be happy to simply be able to build one APK then test it on an Android device.
Thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

@saratogacoach
Not much on the forums yet about creating an app but I notice you are using Windows 8 which is not officially supported yet. Can you try on a Windows 7 machine to rule out the OS being the problem?

How to Set up Flash builder to build Air Mobile Apps

Cannot find a decent tutorial how to install the sdk etc for Flash Builder.
Does anyone know of an easy to follow guide?
Or Can tell me how?

Oh Come on this is so easy to answer.
I'm so confused by all the out of date adobe labs tutorials, and this massive burrito thing.

How can I demo my mobile app on a web page? or standalone

Is there a way to show my Flex mobile app in a browser? either on a web page or standalone is ok.
I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 to build a mobile app for iOs (iphone 4) and when I debug it, it shows the program in a window like the phone,
Is there a way to wrap this up and give it to someone to run in a Flash-player-browser-like window?
thanks!
steve

You can do something similar to this by using Export Release Build and instructing FB to Export as "Signed AIR Package for installation on desktop"
This will create a file that can be installed on a computer and behaves much like a debugger execution. A few caveats are that the user will need to resize the window manually to match a "phone size" and mobile features (camera, gps, accelerometer, etc) will either be unavailable or behave very differently than on an actual phone (depending on your code implementation).
Still, for most apps, this will give your audience a good feel of what your app will be like when released on the phone market/store.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Mobile Apps with PHP and MYSQL?

Hello,
I don't have Dreamweaver CS5.5 yet and I've been trying to search for information on this but I couldn't find any. I've been learning PHP and been developing with MYSQL with Dreamweaver CS5 but I wanted to know if I can use the same tags and everything if I would to build a Mobile App using the new Dreamweaver CS5.5 (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs-55-web-premium-feature-tour-/dreamweaver-cs-55-jquery-mobile- pages/). I overlooked at the video and it seems pretty easy building an app. So is PHP and MYSQL easily integratable? Are there any examples that I might be able to check out?
Thanks!

No. PHP is a server-side scripting language that requires a server (or server-like environment) to run.
An iPhone (or Android) application does not allow for a "built-in" server (which is resource intensive and has scary security implications). You just can't build an application with PHP/MySQL for a mobile device. Instead you can build a web service that your HTML/JavaScript mobile application can then communicate with. This is the only supported way you can use PHP/MySQL in a mobile app. Again: the PHP/MySQL should reside on a server and your HTML/JS mobile app can then communicate with that web service. That's what instapaper and other applications do.
Frankly, just make a web application that's mobile device friendly and you'll:
1) Avoid all the messiness of the app stores
2) Have greater control over what your web app can do (don't have to tow the Apple/Google line)
3) Have a web app that can work across mulitple mobile devices as well as standard web browsers (i.e. more audience = more $).
4) Future proof your application (pushing updates to your server and everyone using your web app is updated)
Otherwise, read-up on Adobe AIR and what it supports and remember, the best apps are written natively for the platform (i.e. want to write an app for an iPhone? Learn Objective-C and use xCode on a Mac. Want to write an app for Motorola Xoom? Learn the Android SDK and use inteliJ).

Adf mobile app accessing e-business suite 12.1.3

Hi,
I'm very new with ADF development, let alone with building a mobile app. We are in an exploratory stages of building a mobile application on top of the e-business suite using ADF. Ideally, we will use the ebusiness suite login (FND USER) to login to the mobile application. I understand that we need the ebiz suite Java SDK to make this possible.
Now, our ebusiness suite (release 12.1.3) is only run through the intranet meaning no DMZ is installed to access it via the internet. The question is, if we build a mobile application, do we need a DMZ server so that the mobile can access the e-business suite in the internet? Is there any option in place other than installing a DMZ to access the application externally by the mobile app?
Any advise is going to be very valuable to us.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not entirely sure about that - there will be the requirement that your ADF (or more appropriately "WebLogic") environment will need to authenticate against E-Business Suite.

Is there any option in place other than installing a DMZ to access the application externally by the mobile app? You'll need to set up some type of server infrastructure that allows you to install WebLogic and an "ADF" environment to serve your mobile applications, preferably fronted by an HTTP server like Oracle HTTP Server (It's usually the HTTP Server that might be placed in a 'DMZ', with firewall rules governing how network traffic is allowed to move between the HTTP Server and the WebLogic Server.)
A good intro that can give you an overview of a deployment topology is one that I've referenced in the WebCenter documentation from time to time:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e12037/intro.htm#sthref47
.. there is obviously a lot more in that document than you wll be using (i.e. you won't be concenred with SOA, WebCenter or even the database), but there's a nice drawing there of the HTTP Server and a WebLogic environment to host your application and some discussion about what and when you'll want to consider clustering, etc.
Hope that helps,

Changing content in mobile app

Hi,
I started with flex for mobile a few months ago, and I find it very interesting. I am now building a mobile app, but I don't know how to go further.
I have a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, with 3 ViewNavigators. In one of these ViewNavigator, I want to change the content, but not the whole view (e.g. I don't want the actionbar to slide). Please have a look at the attached image. How to do this? Please support me as soon as possible.

Examples of popular mobile apps written in FlashBuilder

A few years ago I learned ActionScript and FlashBuilder. I liked ActionScript's inheritance model and enjoyed working with the language more than with javascript, but I got onto another project and had to set FlashBuilder aside. Now I'm trying to decide which direction I'd like to go for building some mobile apps, native or runtime. People always talk about the sluggish performance of non-native apps. To help me decide, I'd like to know the names of a couple real-world apps which were written using FlashBuilder. Ideally, not games, but data-visualization apps with forms elements: grids, lists, sliders, toggles, numerical inputs, and so forth, because the apps I will need to write will mainly have to capture report parameters (dates, scalar values, choices from lists, etc) and then display various kinds of graphs and charts.
Thanks

Hi,
I think you have to choose whether your applications will be distributed through the App Store (Developer Program) or in-house (Developer Enterprise Program). If they are distributed through the App Store, Apple will take 30%. You can create your own "App Store" for in-house over-the-air deployment.
http://developer.apple.com/support/ios/enterprise.html
In my opinion, this is one of the reasons why iOS is not the right platform for enterprise apps.

Pierre

Mobile app with CF

I am trying to figure out how to build a mobile app using Jquery Mobile on the client side and Coldfusion and MySQL on the server side. It seems very difficult to find a basic example. Can someone please show me a tutorial that shows how to insert data and then read the data and display it? All on a mobile phone? I know this has to be possible but I can't find any documentation.

suppose you had the following form:
               Submit
you could post it to a remote server by adding a click handler to the button that calls:
$.ajax
            url: "http://www.domain.com/api/remote.cfc",
            type: "POST",
            data: "method=yourMethod&" + $("#mainForm").serialize(),
            success: function(data)
                  console.log(data);

Muse Mobile Apps

Team Muse, this would be a great addition for us to offer our clients! Android and Apple friendly. How hard could it be? (sarcasm)

Actually, I have installed apps on my phone that are nothing more than an app the opens up a browser within the app. With Muse, I can build a mobile app that has the same behaviors as a typical app. Is there a program out there that would marry the two together? Anyone familiar with this?

Help needed in building a demo mobile app for DRM support using Content server 4

Hi all,
I am building an application for the blackberry to support reading of pdf and ebuf content similar to Adobe Digital Editions with DRM support . I came to know about the Adobe RMSDK .
Following is my understanding regarding my implementation , please correct me if i am wrong:
The DRM implementation on a mobile device for Adobe should satisfy the following criteria:
1. The mobile device should have a application which uses the Adobe RMSDK.
2. The publisher or the server app should install and run the content server 4
3. An acsm file which contains the rights data should be saved stored at the adobe server and should be downloaded by the mobile client.
4. The urls in the acsm xml file will be used to fetch the content for the ebook.
I have the following querries:
1. Is there an implementation of the RMSDK for java to run on blackberry.
2. Is Adobe content server 4 free to install, if not do we have a test server for this purpose.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your kind reply. I have some more querries
Suppose if we have a client implementation of the Adove RMSDK in java, please help answer these querries:
1. How do we connect to the cs4 server (what will be the flow of data, is there a documentaion regarding the protocol to be used between the mobile client and the cs4 server in order to communicate and fetch Rights protected ebuf and pdf data.
2. The link http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/library does not give me information of how to use this library to store by ebook data and fetch drm data from the mobile client and the protocol/communication followed.
3. How do i go forward in evaluating acs4( getting a test version of cs4 and using it ). We want to build a demo app in blackberry.
thanks
Amit

How do I import a custom mobile app UI in Flash Builder?

Hey everyone. I'm new to mobile development and just Flash Builder in general. I created a custom UI using Photoshop and now that Catalyst files aren't supported in FB 4.6, how would I go about creating or importing a UI for my mobile app? I can't seem to find a difinitive answer on the topic any where so any help would be awesome.

How to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app

I would like to open the numeric keyboard in a mobile Flash Builder 4.5 app when click on a text field instead of the full keyboard. Is this possible?

It looks like this is implemented in Flashbuilder 4.6 through the softKeyboardType command:
<s:TextInput softKeyboardType="number" />
Here's a link to good article on it:http://devgirl.org/2011/11/29/flex-mobile-development-flex-4-6-cool-new-soft-keyboard-feat ures-sample-w-source/

Flash builder 4.5 + mobile apps + mx components : error#1014

Hi everyone,
I found about the capabilities of Flex/Air a few weeks ago and I started experimenting. I'm interested in the mobile apps in particular.
I downloaded the final release of Flash Builder and started to "code" a few things (I am fairly new to ActionScript too).
The thing is I have errors when launching the mobile apps on an emulator or on my Desire HD.
Typical example is this app from Ryan Stewart : http://blog.digitalbackcountry.com/2011/03/slides-and-assets-from-adobe-refresh/
I tried to run his CollaborationMobile App (as I want to work with LCCS) onto a device emulator thanks to Flash Builder but I get the following errors :

and a few others...
I have no clue of the reason of these errors...
Thanks for the help
