Creating Help for Iphone/Android app

I need to create help for an iPhone and Android app using RoboHelp 10.
Which option do I choose for a New Project: Blank Project or Application Help?
And, which output do I choose under "File > Generate"? I see an option for "Native Mobile App." But, I'm not seeing a "Multiscreen HTML5" option.
Which file do I give the developer?
Thanks for your help!

That's a pretty big question and you haven't given us any clues such as which version of RoboHelp you are using and whether it is just this form of help that is new to you or help in general.
It doesn't really matter whether you choose Blank Project or Application Help as they are just starters with different default topics and you will be trashing them anyway. For now let's say start with Blank Project and create your topics. You do need to keep in mind they will be viewed on various devices. More about that later.
When that is done you start thinking about creating a suitable output. Multiscreen HTML5 is the output in RoboHelp 10. RoboHelp 11 was released today and that has a new output, Responsive HTML5. That is simpler, especially first time out. Both of those types are intended for use where they will be viewed via a browser, be that on a desktop or a mobile device.
It is not clear whether you want your company's app to access help in that way or whether the need is for the help to be an app in its own right. The latter adds another layer of learning. Essentially after creating an HTML5 output, you use the script to create an app. From the questions you ask, I suspect you will need developer assistance with that.
Start by viewing my page at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/html5/html5.htm where you can download a project with information inside, include some ideas about how to write content.

Dreamweaver and PhoneGap: How to Edit the Application Manifest for an Android app

I successfully created an Android app using dreamweaver cs6 and the PhoneGap build service. I submitted the app and it is live in Google Play. The only problem is that the app is requiring all kinds of permissions from users that are not necessary for the app. The app requires Internet access, but it does not require access to the camera or the user's contacts, etc. I understand that this information is held in the Application Manifest file, but I don't know where that file is.
Can you help me figure out how to edit the Application Manifest file for my android app?
Thanks,
Michael

To edit permissions, you do so in the config.xml file. After making changes, you can directly upload on build.phonegap.com or from within Dreamweaver.
See this page for info on customizing config.xml: https://build.phonegap.com/docs/config-xml#features

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

Building SAP applications for iPhone, Android etc.

Hi All,
We have a requirement for building SAP online and offline applications for iPhone, Android, Windows phone. These applications would interface with SAP backend (ERP) for fetching data or for executing simple tasks like approvals etc.
We have developed thin client (online) applications using Webdynpro Java for Blackberry users. These applications are browser based applications (deployed on SAP Netweaver WAS) and are accessed through Blackberry browser. What I am not sure is whether the same approach/technology like Webdynpro for Java would work for handhelds like iPhone, Android and Windows phones.
Secondly whether vendors (like Apple) of iPhones, Android etc. provide specific connectors or frameworks for building SAP online/offline applications (or in other words what would be the mechanism for integrating iPhones, Android with SAP)
Lastly how (technology, architecture etc.) are SAP thick client or offline applications built for iPhone, Android etc.
Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh

Hi Philipp,
Thanks for your quick response. When you say integrating with "Integrating Custom Client with DOE", do you mean the usage of SAP Mobile Infrastructure (now know SAP NetWeaver Mobile).
We are mainly looking at building online (thin client) applications and also parallely at building offline or thick client applications but that is second in priority.
What we have done so far
We have developed thin client (online) applications using Webdynpro Java (which interface with SAP backend systems)
for Blackberry users. These applications are browser based applications and are accessed through Blackberry browser. We are looking at similarly building applications for iPhone, Android and Windows phones probably using the same technology like Webdynpro Java. But we are not sure how well it would work on iPhone, Android etc. Also we were exploring to see if these vendors (iPhone, Android) provide some sort of connectors or framework for quickly developing and deploying SAP mobile thin client applications.
Please note that we are aware that using webservices in one generic approach.
Once again thank you very much for your response.
Regards,
Suresh

Can't create Ringtone for iPhone

everytime I click on the ringtone symbol next to the song I want, it says that I need to accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service and that by clicking 'OK' it will direct me to that. Thing is, I've already accepted that and when I click OK, it does nothing. It's becoming a real pain..any ideas?

I sent iTunes support a note about that and although they didn't answer my question directly, they got me around it. For what's worth, it did work; however, now I have a new problem. Long story short, don't create more than one ring tone for now. I'll post my crap about that momentarily...
Here's what they wrote:
First I want you to try to create a ringtone with the following steps:
1) If you haven't already, upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, which is available free of charge on the iTunes website:
http://www.itunes.com/download
2) Open iTunes, access the iTunes Store, and look at a few songs. A bell icon next to a song indicates that you can make a ringtone from the song. The bell icon does not mean that the song itself is a ringtone. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK. A ringtone column will appear and any eligible songs will have bells next to them. Purchase any ringtone-eligible song you like.
3) Now click Purchased in the list on the left. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK.
4) Click the bell next to a song to begin making a ringtone. The ringtone editor will appear at the bottom of the iTunes window.
5) Adjust the highlighted area to choose the part of the song (up to 30 seconds) you want to use as your ringtone. You can also choose to fade in or out the audio by clicking the checkboxes in the highlighted area.
6) Select a "Looping" length, which will set the gap between each ring. Click Preview to hear your ringtone before purchasing. Once you're satisfied with your ringtone, click Buy. Your iTunes Store account will be charged 99 cents plus any applicable taxes. Any song credits or video credits that may be on your account will not be used toward the purchase.
7) Your ringtone will appear in your iTunes library Ringtones playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.
8) To sync the ringtone to your iPhone, connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone on the left and click Sync. iTunes will automatically sync any ringtones you create. To sync specific ringtones, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Ringtones tab, choose Selected ringtones, and click Apply. Check the ringtones you want to sync and click Sync.
Please note that any ringtones you have previously synced to your iPhone will be replaced with the ringtones that you are currently syncing from your authorized iTunes library.
To set a ringtone as your default ringtone, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the Settings icon, then tap Sounds. Tap Ringtone, then choose a ringtone. This will become your default ringtone.
To assign a ringtone to a specific contact, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the the Phone icon, then go to your Contacts. Choose a contact, then tap Ringtone and choose the ringtone. When that contact calls, you will hear that ringtone.
Please note that iTunes creates ringtones for iPhone only, and the ringtones you create with your iTunes Store account may not be transferred to other accounts. Also note that even if you create a ringtone from iTunes Plus (DRM-free) content, the purchased ringtone will include DRM-protection.

Hi,
I had the same issue regarding WLS8.1 to WLS10 migration with MDBs.
Contacted BEA support. The solution for me was to add a WorkContext
and assign the weblogic.app.internal.AdminMode.
From the Admin console:
1) Create a workcontext
click workcontext -> Work Context Resources -select new-> path: add weblogic.app.internal.AdminMode then "all actions"
Make sure you save them and released the configuration
2) Add the policy to the existing weblogic.app.internal.AdminMode workcontext,
select the work context resource-> weblogic.app.internal.AdminMode -> select Policy tab-> Select
"DefaultAuthorizer" Select "Add Condition"-> Select "Group" Select "Next" -> Add "everyone" into "Group Argument Name" Then save.
That did the trick for me. In cluster and standalone.

Z10 - No Data Network Connection for Several Android Apps

Hi,
I'm using freshly installed 10.2.1.2102 software on a BlackBerry Z10 (STL100-3).
Everything runs smoothly except for several Android Apps dwnloaded from Snap or Onemobile. They work perfectly fine over WiFi but not at all over Data. Does anyone know why or if there is a solution? It's pretty frustrating.
Examples include, NetFlix, MyFitnesspal, Amazon Price Check Urbanspoon, etc.
Thanks for any replies.

you can hard restart you device. and try again

How do I change the Version Code in the Flash Android settings for the Android app Market?

I recently tried to update my app in the Android app market and when I uploaded it I got the following message:
"The new apk's versionCode (1000000) already exists."
In the Flash Adnroid settings I changed the version label but that did not help.
So I have two questions:
How do I change the Version code in the Flash Android settings? I changed the version number and version label but that did not work.
What is the difference between the version number and version label?

I tried that but it did not work. Apparently there is a difference between the version code and version number (which is set in the Android settings). From my research the version label is optional, so there are no problems there.
This is the what the XML file says:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.6">
<id>com.company.nameofapp</id>
//Below is the correct version number, but has no relation to the version code.
<versionNumber>1.1.0</versionNumber>
<versionLabel>NewLayout</versionLabel>
<filename>Name of app</filename>
<description/>
I did find this piece of information for Androin version codes. (http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/versioning.html) But I don't know how to place it into the xml file without conflicting with other code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.example.package.name"
      android:versionCode="2"
      android:versionName="1.1">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    </application>
</manifest>
Any other thoughts are much appreciated.

Can i use JEE server for my Android app?

Hello,
Let me introduce myself,i am Mohith K M from India,Student and beginner in JEE
I am doing a project,Which is combination of Android application,Server and Desktop app (developed in Visual C# )
I am comfortable with Android app side,
Bt, i dont have an idea About j2ee Server side?
Where should i start studying
What protocol should i use? SOAP?
Wat my project exactly do is
There are many Desktop application (devlpd in visual C#),These app will have database,and these is to be updated to Database @ server side, (MYSQL??)
and Android application will request with some query to J2ee Server;Now J2ee Server have to respond back,after applying some bussiness logic in b'wn
Please help me out,Where should i Start!
I was planing to use Glassfish server,j2ee;

You learn the same things as you would learn for any JEE application;
- learn about EJBs (3.0 standard, not the earlier iterations!)
- learn JPA (optionally, low level JDBC can also work fine)
- learn about EJB webservices (and it might not hurt to learn about SOAP in general)
You shouldn't need a web interface as this is all server side, so you don't need to go into JSF or any other web framework. For your purposes, I can recommend the book "Enterprise Javabeans 3.0" by O'Reilly. It will teach you all you need to know. If you want to learn about JPA, I can highly recommend the book "Pro EJB 3: Java Persistence API" by APress.

Creating ringtone for iphone

Hello,
I created a ringtone for an iphone and cannot get it to the ringtones on the phone. IF this is a Garageband issue can someone please help?
I created the file and saved to my desktop. (The phone I want the ringtone on is not my phone so I could not "share" with my itunes) I was able to send this file to the person that needs it and was able to download to their itunes. I then was able to move it to the iphone ringtones on the phone when it is sync'd to itunes. But, when I go looking for it on the phone, I can only find it on the ipod part of phone.
Did i do something wrong in Garageband or do I need to take this to iphone forum?
Thanks
Jim

You don't need to move it to the iphone ringtones , you can directly Click "Share" on the menu bar and select "Send Ringtone to iTunes".

Bbm for iphone,android makes bb user fools

Bbm for iphones,and androids were free with their normal data cost, but for blackberry users have to put bbm plan seperatly for messaging, it really sucks, its like wife charging her husband for sex but gives free sex to the whole city.......really wierd

And, everyone else pays for data as well... those on iOS and Android pay for data.

A few quick questions about publishing for iPhone/Android

I'm currently developing an iPhone/Android game in CS5 and I just have a few quick questions. If anyone can answer even one or two I'd really appreciate it
1- I'm developing using a 320 x 480 resolution for the iphone. When I tested it, the status bar on the top of the screen makes the edges disappear. How should I turn off the status bar? And if I can't what resolution should I use?
2- The performance is a little slow, and the game isn't very intense at all. What's a good way to improve performance?
3- For Android, what should I do for the resolution? Is there a standard resolution or do I have to have multiple resolutions for multiple devices?
4- Finally, is it worth getting the free trial of CS5.5 before I publish? Is there anything in there that will be a huge improvement over CS5?
All help is appreciated

1. Publish in fullscreen
2. Use bitmaps, cache all bitmaps, use minimized looping structure etc.
http://www.yeahbutisitflash.com/?p=986
3. Android: 480 * 800
4. Not that much, but you have GUI updates and have a GUI publishing screen for packager for iphone too.

As3 - Map/Level help for iPhone + movement

I'm making an app for an iphone using CS5 and was wondering the best way to make a map or a level. I want it to be continuous until the player dies which will bring it to the end game frame. An example would be NinJump for iPhone. You keep going and going until you die.
Then my next question.. I feel stupid asking cause i feel like only i have this problem..whenever I do the hitTestPoint check my character goes through the floor in the middle. I tried changing the registration points but when I put it to the bottom for my character it just does swirls... not move so i kind of changed the code around to make it work but probably wont be best for slopes and stuff.
for (var i:int = 0; i<10; i++) {
if (floor.hitTestPoint(ball.x,ball.y+18,true)) {
ball.y-=gv;
vy=0;
jumped=false;
thanks

Hi, Surendra and Grant,
Thank both of you for help!
I am tring to learn Form Developer. The database and developer suites are installed in one PC. I don't think I am working in web environment.
Except the Mouse Movement Triggers, other mouse trigger work well, such as when_mouse_click, when_mouse_doubleclick.
Any help is very much appreciated.

AS3 is there an event for when Android app is exiting on it's own?

Ok, I made an app for Android. And when we push the middle button or back(lefthandside) button of Android phone, we all know that Android apps still runs in the background.
So my code is this:
the first line(addEventListener) is in a private function which runs as soon as you open the app.
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.EXITING, onMyAppExit)
    private function onMyAppExit(event:flash.events.Event):void{
      trace("onMyAppExit is running");
      saveProgress();
Basically, I want saveProgress() to run when the app ACTUALLY exits from running in the background. I noticed that my app actually exits when I open another app like Candy Crush. I guess the Android OS exits apps automatically when the apps are not being used and when the app you are using takes a lot of RAM. However, my code only works when I run my app in AIR Debug Launcher(Mobile). I know that because I see the trace in the function in my output window when I click on the x button on the right corner of the app window. But when I connect my Android phone to the computer and then ---> AIR3.8 for Android settings ---> Publish, and then I "Begin Remote Debug Session", and on my Android phone, I open my app first, then open Candy Crush so that the Android OS automatically exits my app, I don't see the trace. So I finalized that the code didn't work on my phone.

i tried this too. but doesn't work
'(event:Event)'
private function onMyAppExit(event:Event):void{
and 'stage'
stage.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.CLOSING,onMyAppExit);

Creating folios for iphone using a pdf-to-indesign script

Hello, i need to convert all my magazines to iphone format. Someone can help me with the script using pdf-to-indesign for IPHONE? Or an alternate solution to convert all my magazines (1024 x 768) to Iphone (480 x 320)? Thanks a lot!!

Working with Derek directly did the trick!
The difficulty with the script is that it requires everything to be in "alphabetical order." What that means is that when you split the files in Acrobat into individual PDFs, everything needs to be in "alphabetical order" and Acrobat does not do that the way this script requires.
So Acrobat gives me 1_ISSUE24.pdf, 2_ISSUE24.pdf and if I had 9 pages, that wouldn't be an issue. But I had over 200 pages for a specific issue and when you get to page 10, you're no longer working in alphabetical order if the single page numbers don't have a 0 in front of them.
So if you have up to 99 pages, make sure every page with a single page number has a 0 in front of it, e.g. 01_ISUEE24.PDF
If you have up to 999 pages, make sure every page with a single page and double page number has two 0's in front it., e.g. 001_ISSUE24.PDF
Unless there's a program out there that will automatically put 0s in front of filenames for you, you have to do this manually, which is slightly time consuming. FAR LESS time consuming, however; than re-sizing everything yourself and doing this the old fashioned way with cut and paste, etc. etc. etc.
So the script is extremely helpful, it's free - you just have to have your page numbers numbered correctly.
Thank you, Derek, for your time and your help.
