Can iPad or Android tablets reply to forum questions?

Can the iPad be used to write replies to forum questions?
I ask because I have been using an Android tablet recently and though it can be used to input text into browser etc. text fields, it stubbornly refuses to reveal its keyboard when I try to respond to forum questions.
I don't know whether it is a fault with my device, user error or whether iPads and other tablets just can't be used for this purpose.

It completely depends on the specific forum/post you are thinking about.
As stedman1 pointed out, the mobile versions of browsers (i.e., iPad safari, etc.) are almost always limited with respect their desktop versions. For example, if your forum uses flash to post messages, you will never be able to post a message using an iPad at this moment since iPad does not support flash.
That being said, the web has started to be more mobile (and getting more in each day). Most of the websites (and forums) have either dedicated mobile web versions, where they make sure that you can access all information as you were in a normal computer. If that does not work, they even create dedicated apps (there are iPad apps for some webpages) so that you can post/explore the webpage through the app.
Also, one final (and maybe not yet good solution) is to use cloud browsers. The idea with these browsers is that they run on servers and transmit the webpage back to you as images. Your actions (click, keyboard input, etc.) are also captured and transmitted back to the server. This way, you can emulate a real desktop browser on your iPad, which will have the same limitations (or unlimitations) as a desktop browser.
If you have a specific webpage, etc. in mind, just tell us and we can check on your behalf.

  • IPad vs Android tablets

    What is your opinion about the performance of digital magazines in each of the devices? Which one to choose for this purpose?
    Thanx.

    Performance: definetly the iPad.
    Content viewer on android is a bit sluggish (as are all apps compared to
    them on the iPad)

  • HELP WANTED: I wanna buy an iPad or Android Tablet, but IDK which one to buy...

    So I am expecting my tax refund in a week or 2 & I wanna buy an Android Tablet, but I am kinda computer/tablet stupid & I have no clue which one to pick...  Specific things I want in an Android Tablet include the following:  Android 2.3 or newer, touch screen, Micro SD card slot & good battery life are all my must haves!!!  Additionally, if possible, I would prefer a White Android Tablet over a Black Android Tablet!!!  I am a T-Mobile employee, I work @ their customer service center/inbound call center in Portland, Oregon.  My expertise is cell phone activations, new customer activations/sales/upgrades, tech support & billing.  I am very unknowledgeable when it comes to the iPad & Android Tablets.  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!!  So far I've narrowed down my tablet selection to the Sony Tablet S, Asus Transformer Prime, iPad 2 & Asus Slider...  Suggestions???  A little insight help please!!!  Thanks so much:-)

    Keyboard is not hugely important, however it would be nice, I can type very well on a tablet, so keyboard is not a must...  Micro SD card & Android 2.3 or higher is an absolutle must!!!  Cameras of at least 5MP would be nice as well.  I've done a little research since I posted this & iPad 2 is officially off my list.  Asus Slider, Sony Tablet S & Asus Transformer Prime are what I'm looking at as of now.  As far as screen goes, I want a larger screen if possible.  Flash websites I also want access to.  When it comes to sound, I listen to alot of music, I am in my 20's so I'm kinda a partier & I like loud music, so something with a high level of audio & vidoe sound would be great!!!  I personally own an Android cell phone, the HTC Sensation with T-Mobile, I have had Android cell phones since the very first day the HTC G1 phone came out, the HTC G1 was the very first Android phone ever put out by any cell phone carrier.  I absolutely do love Android so very much!!!  Based off of all of this, what do you recommend or suggest???

  • From iPad to android tablet

    Hi,
    I just finish  my first iPad only app ( after a few iPhone app). I intend to create an android version.
    Do I just change settings in flash an upload it to android market ? or do I have to make some change... (stage an so on )
    If someone have some expérience in this issue
    Thanks.

    If you kept different screen sizes in mind when you were building the app then its just as easy as you described it. You will need to get an android certificate but its easy as pie and all done right there in flash.
    If however you designed the app to fit just right into 768x1024px dimensions then you have a whole lot of work in front of you not to mention android tablets are all different sizes too, the original galaxy Tab looks to be 600 x 1024 and the new galaxy tab is close to an ipad in dimensions where the motorola Xoom is 1280x800 so its a lot to keep track of.
    Hope that helps a little.

  • Is this the only tablet that can use iTunes? Or can you use Android Tablets with iTunes?

    I'm looking into buying a tablet... But can i get my music from iTunes onto different tablets like the android 2.2...? Or just iPads? Can someone please help?! I'm going black friday shopping soon...!

    Nope, I personally do not like android.
    I find it to be annoying in a lot of little ways.
    I have used both a phone(galaxy s) and have a cheap tablet(archos 70).
    The only reason to get an android device is if you can not live without being able to fiddle with 100's of different settings, widgets, screen animations, etc to totally customize the device or you cannot afford an iPad and will accept one of the cheaper tablets realizing you are getting a pretty poor substitute.
    In the case of cheap tablet-Nook Color tablet is probably best choice. In another month or so xda will crack it and have some really good ROMs for it.

  • How to Multi-Screen android tablet application on Adobe AIR and Flash Professional

    hello,
    I have done app in ipad with Adobe AIR thats work fine in ipad,
    but now i have to create android tablet app for multiscreen resolution like this,
    2560*1600, 1366*768, 1280*800, 1280*768, 1024*768, 1024*600, 960*640, 960*540, 854*480, 800*600, 800*480, 800*400
    and my current .fla file resolution is 1024*768 so how can i create android tablet app with multi-screen?
    thanks

    If your app is mainly code layout interface, then you'll have to just change your code to work with arbitrary widths and heights, instead of a fixed width and height. If instead your app is basically one graphical scene, like say Angry Birds, or a highly graphical scene, you could take the approach I use.

  • Can I open embedded PDF documents in a PDF file on an iPad or Android?

    Not sure if first post got through, the forum required me to change password ...
    So I'm trying to open embedded PDF documents in a "parent" PDF document on an iPad. 
    On a PC the file opens fine.
    On an iPad 2 with Adobe's Reader the same file says it's corrupted.
    On PDF Pro the file opens, I can see the listing of embedded PDF documents but when I click on them nothing happens.
    Is there a way for a PDF file with embedded hyperlinked PDF documents to be displayed on an iPad or Android?

    pages on the iOS has access only to the camera roll to embedd pictures , but no external files.
    Content from other documents like pdf can be copied and pasted by using Adobe Reader for iOS or the iBooks.app, open the pdf , copy text , then go to pages.app and paste text into the document there.

  • Anyone find a tablet, Ipad, Cius, Android based, otherwise that works with console?

    This question is out on Google, no good answers so I figure this is probably the best place to go.  I know that there are a ton of SSH apps, telnet apps, etc for the IPad and Android based OS's.  The one thing I'm not seeing is a serial console utility like a teraterm/hyperterminal for a tablet OS.  I've been wanting to see if I can switch remote troubleshooting to a tablet rather than a laptop (see convenience).  One thing that's keeping that from happening for me is the lack of console capability.  Has anyone got a console working on any tablet system, if so how, and what tools are you using?
    Rich

    Well, there is no RS-232 hardware on most of these units, and if there is it is usually not accessible short of Jailbreaking or Rooting the device.  Even when available, the low-voltage electronics present either as a USB or a low-voltage serial port which require additional adaptation.
    At one point, someone made a Bluetooth Console cable:
    http://www.conserver.com/consoles/BlueConsole/
    But that project is dead.
    If you can get one, it might work on Android with
    http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/productivity/bluetooth-terminal-emulator_kpeq.html
    I see a product that makes a Wifi serial port
    http://www.serialio.com/products/mobile/wifi/WiSnapAAA.php
    Which may be promising.  Again, I have never used it.
    Bottom line is that the serial hardware is generally not available on those platforms, but there may be a path to purpose built wireless dongles to do the job.  The so-called "1 port terminal server" is well suited to this job.
    I haven't used the iPhone or Android in this way but would love to hear what you learn.  Seems that Bluetooth would be the way to go.

  • Can i design for all android tablets using one size folio?

    I want to minimize my production workflow. Of course. Will a one size design folio work for all android tablets including kendal fire?
    thanks

    Yes, you can use one folio size for all Android devices. A 16x9 aspect ratio usually works nicely if you are only interested in Android devices and don't already have an iPad design.
    Note that we do not support in-app purchase on Kindle devices.

  • Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook?

    Hello,
    I got a PlayBook and it came with the wrong charger plug. It's for the US that I can't use here in Germany.
    Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook instead?
    The information on the chargers are similiar but for the output it's a bit different: (They both say 5V but than 1.8 instead of 1.5)
    PlayBook charger output: 5V = 1.8A
    Android tablet charger output: 5V = 1.5A 
    Thanks for any feedback.

    It'll charge slightly slower, but yes.

    The iPhone practically does whatever the iPad could.  The only differences are :
    1. iPhone could send/receive any call to/from any mobile devices including SMS.  However, iPad could use the iMessage only with another iDevice excluding SMS.

    While it is true the iPad does not natively support SMS (Text) messaging, there are several apps available in the App Store which would allow the iPad to send/receive SMS messages.  All of my friends/relatives moved to iPhones long ago so I don't have any recent experience with any of those apps but I do know they are available.

  • My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

    I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems.  It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection.  The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

    It appears hundreds are having this problem.  You must not have done a search for this subject before posting.  Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.

  • Can't see who has replied to the thread in the forum, its pointess?

    What's the point in creating a system where you can't see who has replied to the thread? Its absolutely F**CKING pointless? Does anyone at Adobe have any brains or are they all sitting with their heads up their backsides?
    Surely before you release such garbage you test for these very simple issues, right?
    osgood_(NOT M Golding) If anyone at Adobe is monitoring this please get my screen named changed to what it was previously as well.

    It needs a 'latest reply' on the posted list page like the old version otherwise you have no idea if anyone has replied to the post or not without opening it.

    The line below is not that necessary in the order of priority, which for all intense and purposes is quite useless. I don't really care about how long ago something was posted or where it was posted but an indication to show 'updated' posts and by who is vital.
    9 minutes ago in Dreamweaver support forum
    Why do we even need 'Dreamweaver support forum'. We already know that's where we are! I guess a selection of posts from other forums may appear in a 'general' postings list somewhere, but who really cares - if I'm asking a question related to DW that's the forum I'm going to, not a general list as I don't care a monkey knackers what's been posted in Fireworks or InDesign or Illustrator. If I did I'd go to those forums.
    If you are tracking several postings it is going to become hugely annoying for both the person who has asked the question and the people helping the original poster as many replies will potentially go unnoticed and not resolved.
    And what's with the silly horizontal scroll bar being created for long lines of text? That's annoying too.
    Plenty of teething issue you need to get your head around over the next few weeks.

  • EPUB exported from InDesign works on iPad and not on Android tablets

    I've edxported several similar books to EPUB from InDesign CS5, using the same technique each. After exporting from InDesign, there's a lot of tweaking of the HTML code and some changes to the content.opf and toc.ncx, but the finished product for all of the books works fine on iPads but some do not work on Android tablets. There are six separate InDesign documents in each epub book...three small, one large, and then two small. Some of the books work fine on Android tablets, but for some of them, the first three documents show up fine, but when one advances to the large document, the book closes. There's no error message. Any ideas what the problem might be? Are there size limitations for documents on Android machines?

    As you have found out - it doesn't work.
