Cross Platform Organization App?

Throughout the day I sometimes come across things that I want to remember for later such as websites, thoughts, pictures, etc. I'm looking for a way to put these things in one place that I can access from a windows machine at work, my mac at home, and my iphone. I've looked into MobileMe but I can't justify spending $100 for something that I'm only going to use at most a couple of times a week. I've also looked into Bento which is a little more reasonable but its still a little expensive. I've been using the Notes app in my iphone but it doesn't really allow me to organize things in any logical manner. I've also taken to e-mailing myself web addresses and notes. Again this is kind of a pain at the end of the day. Is there anything out there that can do these things that I don't have to spend a lot of money (if any) on?

I guess I'll give it a try. It has a $5 subscription fee which isn't that bad. But then again I'm paying some one to just store my data on a server somewhere. Thanks for the tip.

Issues when a cross platform android app is run on Blackberry 10 alpha simulator

I am facing problems in running a cross platform android App in blackberry 10 Alpha simulator.The App works fine when run in iphone,android devices.But when I run it in blackberry 10 it doesn't load the template files hence a blank screen.The project is based on backbone framework hence template files.Currently the files are local in my hard-disk. I am loading the templates using an ajax call. The logcat output generated of the same is listed below:- 02-08 05:30:51.861: D/CordovaLog(233525377): {"readyState":4,"responseText":"","status":404,"statusText":"error"}
I have added in config.xml file . Is there anything else I am missing to make the app run on blackberry 10?? I had the same issue with nook HD which was avoided by using super.appView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true); in the onCreate method.But since blackberry uses 2.3.3 of Android,I am unable to add the same settings. Please let me know If I am missing any specific configuration related content for blackberry 10.Thanks

Hey Steve_web,
This issue can be caused when MAC address filtering is enabled on the Wi-Fi network, and the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook is not accepted. Try adding the MAC address of the BlackBerry Playbook to the accepted MAC address list for the Wi-Fi network and test.
The following article may be helpful as well:
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi and networking on the BlackBerry PlayBook

Also if you contact the BlackBerry PlayBook support team they can do log review to determine the cause; you can find the contact information here: http://us.blackberry.com/legal/blackberry-playbook-complimentary-support-plan-terms-and-conditions.h...

What's the proper way to do this cross-platform app?

hey y'all
I'm making a multimedia app with LV2010 and I'm trying to make it cross platform (win and mac os x).
The functionality I need requires the use of system libraries, I have access to somewhat similar functions in both OS's
(winmm.dll in windows, coreMidi.framework in mac OS X)
Except for the actual system calls the VIs will be identical.
I can make the VI work in either platform by using the call library function node, but i don't want to have two copies of everything.
I've tried doing a wrapper sub VI that puts the call library function node in a case statement and detect the OS but this VI will not be executable because of dependencies (won't find the library referenced in one of the cases. depending on the OS executed)
Is there any way I can specify which subVI's to load on a project or something to get this whole dependency issue sorted?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You want to wrap the platform-specific code in a Conditional Disable structure, with one condition for each supported platform. The OS symbol is already defined; see the help for Creating Conditional Disable Structures, which lists the pre-defined symbols and values.

Will �cross platform app� run on one platform?

Hi there,
please forgive my stupidity but if I have a J2ME app which contains one function calling functions from Blackberry library. Can this app be installed and run ok on non Blackberry phones, such as Nokia (suppose that Blackberry related code will not be called under this non-Blackberry phone), within Nokia emulator environment, or real Nokia phones?
It would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light here so that my time and effort to try it out could be saved.
Many thanks in advance,
qmei from London

Here, let me actually be helpfull...
It depends on the phone.
To be able to use the exact same app in multiple devices, when some are calling device specific code is possible, but it really does depend on a few factors...
1) You must not ever reference or instantiate any classes that import the device specific libraries. If any such classes are referenced directly in your application, the offending class will be loaded into memory, at which point the device's VM will notice that it's trying to reference a library that it doesn't recognize, and likely crash out.
2) You must only load such offending classes by name, and even then, there must only reference offending classes through an interface. So if you have a canvas class that imports nokia libraries, as well as other canvas classes that import other manufacturer libraries, you must make them all implement the same interface, and do something like this...
try{
Class cls = Class.forName("com.nokia.mid.ui.FullCanvas");
cls = Class.forName("NokiaGameScreen");
Object o = (cls.newInstance());
gameScreen = (GameScreen)o;
gameScreen.init(this);
}catch(Exception e){
//cant' use nokia!
//try another manufacturer...
}... so I'll explain in greater detail...
1) Class cls = Class.forName("com.nokia.mid.ui.FullCanvas");This line with throw an exception if no class matches the supplied argument. Generally you'd do something like this to check for the existance of one of the classes you intend to import. If this line does not throw an Exception, than instantiating the desired display should be fine. In this case, if we don't throws an Exception, we can be sure that we are running on a Nokia device.
2) cls = Class.forName("NokiaGameScreen");This line actually grabbs the class you intend to instantiate, which contains the offending import. Only when we reach this point does the VM load the class into memory, and validate it's imports. We have already determined that we are running on a Nokia device from the previous line.
3) Object o = (cls.newInstance()); Get an instance of the desired class.
4) gameScreen = (GameScreen)o;gameScreen is of the type 'GameScreen', which is an interface I defined and is implemented by all of my different manufacturer/device specific Canvas's.
5) gameScreen.init(this);I am simply calling the 'public void init(Midlet)' function I created that is exposed through my 'GameScreen' interface.
As you can see in the above example, I never directly reference the 'NokiaGameScreen' class, and instead indirectly reference it through an interface it's implementing called 'GameScreen'.
This type of 'cross platform' coding works well on many, but not all devices. It's a headache, but some devices go through the entire .jar file and validate each and every .class file during the installation process. These annoying phones will cancel the install if they find any imports that are not recognized. So even if the class is simply accidentally left in the .jar, with no possible way to ever load or instantiate it, the device may decide it won't let you run or install.
Because of the problem devices, I always create a separate build for each manufacturer, and exclude the other manufacturer's classes from the build entirely.

Can I use Messages in OSX to text with a person on an Android platform? My iPhone works cross platform but I don't get the text in Messages on my desktop with OSX 10.8.2

Does "Messages" in OSX 10.8.2 work cross platform? My daughter has an android phone and I can text with her OK in iOS. However, her texts don't show up on OSX whereas texts from my son, who has an iPhone, work in iOS and OSX.

HI,
The answer is yes and no.
As Barney-15E link says you can get the Messages app to SMS to AIM Buddies. Or rather telephone Numbers as AIM Buddies.
There are limits.
The computer has to be set as if in the United States (System Preferences > Language and Text > Region)
The phone is question has to be on a carrier that supports AIM SMS forwarding which only applies to some US based carriers.
The reason the SMS Messages arriving on the iPhone do not sync is that they are not iMessages (the "No" Part).
I use Messages with the Buddy List Showing.
As a test I have added a made up number as a Buddy and also created a Address Card for it.
So Mousing over the "Buddy" reveal the "Screen Name" which is the phone Number
You have to include the Leading +1 country code as well.

Recommendations for cross-platform software development?

I'm considering developing a new shareware product and I'd like for it to be able to run on both OS X and Windows, and Linux too if that ends up not requiring too much more effort.
I've been a Java programmer for many years now, making Java in some ways a very obvious solution. But I've never been all that pleased with the look and the performance of Java Swing GUIs. Swing isn't all that bad for some uses, but it can be clumsy in many ways (like Mac open/save file dialogs), doesn't always get the look-and-feel of a particular platform quite right, misses many platform-specific features one might want to access -- in short, Java-based apps seldom manage to have the fit-and-finish of off-the-shelf, shrink-wrapped commercial software.
I could stick with Java and try out the SWT toolkit (it's better at getting native look-and-feel, and native performance) for building a GUI, but from what I've read SWT has its limitation as well, and besides, because of the nature of the product I have in mind -- something dealing with audio and music -- a lot of the open source code I'd like to incorporate into my product is written in C or C++, and I might need to do some low-level driver work too. Trying to bridge all of that into a Java app with lots of JNI work doesn't seem like the best route to take.
I could learn C# and use Mono to make my stuff work for OS X, but, although I've never worked with C# and whatever standard GUI libraries one would typically use with C#, I suspect that it will work best for Windows and be kind of iffy for Mac use.
All this said, I'm fairly certain that, after many years away from it, the best thing for me to do is get back into using C++ for this project.
From my cursory preliminary research, the best looking C++ cross-platform development library I've seen so far is Qt from Trolltech. It's also very expensive from the viewpoint of a start-up operation -- a few thousand dollars, even with a 65% discount given to small start-ups.
There's the totally free, open-source wxWidgets, but it sounds like wxWidgets' Mac support isn't the greatest, and it sounds like it's noticeably buggier than Qt. Maybe it would still be good enough for my uses, but I don't know that yet -- which is one reason I'm writing this post, hoping others have had some experience with it.
Anyone know any other C++ cross platform toolkits for general GUI application development? One article I read said:
If your needs are a free cross-platform environment, then wxWidgets is your best and only solution. However, for under $100, you can find a cross-platform environment with a much better Macintosh user experience than wxWidgets.
I can't seem to find any of these better-than-wxWidgets, under-$100 solutions, however. Suggestions, anyone?

Hi--
I think, from looking at that page he must be talking about the CPLAT framwork. It's kind of hard to figure out from that page, but he's got another page with information on CPLAT here.
It looks like it's $50 for the license. You can also look at the official CPLAT site for more info. I've never used it, though, so I can't really say whether it's any good or not. But there is a trial version available...

Cross-platform baOpenFile

I have an application with hundreds of small movies so i need to put them into a folder (called dswmedia) and an .exe and macintosh app to launch the application, outside the folder.
I'm using MX2004 and working on a PC XP2 to develop my app.
I have been trying to use baOpenFile to go from the .exe or .osx to a .dcr inside the dswmedia folder.
It works easily on the PC, but when I try on the Mac I get the error message "The application Projector quit unexpectedly."
I have checked every line of code and am sure the error doesn't happen until it comes to the line baOpenFile. I've checked the path on the Mac and it is correct.
I have tried opening another projector instead of the .dcr file, but it still quits unexpectedly. I have also tried a pdf document but it quit.
Can someone please tell me what I have to do to get it to work on the Mac?
any suggestion will be very welcome.
Carmel

thanks so much Sean ... such a simple answer!
now it is almost working!!!, but it has a different problem, related to the cross-platform path for external script,
for some reason, when I open my app on the mac it is looking for the external script linked to the first movie, and is asking for it using a pc path.
so I will open a new discussion.

Exchange tasks and to-dos and cross platform continuity

When one creates a task on the PC with the shortcut to create a task it gets created as a to-do and not in the tasks folder or the exchange account. All other devices only look at the tasks folder so tasks are not cross platform.
Ctnl-shift-K is create new task. So why does it only show in the PC to do list and not the task list. It does not then show in the task list
on my mac or other devices. Whoever had a hand in the task and to do set up had no idea of continuity between apps, naming and functions.
Creating a task in the mac environment (too many keystrokes) will create a task but it will often show on my PC in the to-do list but not on the Mac task list on which it was created.
Does anyone have any great answers or solutions? HELP!!!!!!

Since there's no evidence in your post that any of this has anything to do with an Exchange server, I recommend that you post this in the Outlook Forum:

RMAN Full Database restore cross platforms

All
I have a database 10.2.0.3 running on Solaris 10 OS.
I have performed a full back up (level 0) of this database using rman utility with auto back up on. I am trying to worl on a scenario where I could restore this backup on another linux machine. so I copied over all the backup pieces into the target linux server. from a local RDBMS installation (10.2.0.3) on the linux machine I am trying to restore the database... but not successful yet..
when I issue restore spfile or restore control file from +<backup file name>+; the prompt continues to search in some location is responding back saying no back up piece found.. below is the sequece of step I am trying ..
1 set up env on the linux server
2 rman target /
(instance not started but rman allows connection)
3 set DBID=+<DB ID of the source database running on Solaris>+
it executes set dbid=
4 startup nomount
as the pfile/spfile is not available under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs on linux machine it picks up default pfile however but the instance stars no mount..
5 restore spfile from '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rman_bkp/c-300009955'
here it is not able to restore any thing.same is the case with control file.
Any ideas please advice

Thanks for the referance. I now understand that I may not be able to use transportable database command to transport the entire db. However there is a line in the +"Restrictions on Cross-Platform Transportable Database"+ which says +"The principal restriction on cross-platform transportable database is that the source and destination platform must share the same endian format. For example, while you can transport a database from Microsoft Windows to Linux for x86 (both little-endian), or from HP-UX to AIX (both big-endian), you cannot transport a whole database from HP_UX to Linux for x86 using this feature. You can, however, create a new database on a destination platform manually, and transport needed tablespaces from the source database using cross-platform transportable tablespace as described in "Cross-Platform Tranportable Tablespace: CONVERT DATAFILE or TABLESPACE"."+
I understand if we are ready to transport every tablespace from Source to Target individually, may then be able to replicate a transportable database. Does the transportable tablespace do not have any restrictions like the transport database has got in respect to Platforms and Endian? Please clarify.
Also is there a support matrix for thr transportable database and tablespaces which we could refer to ?
Regards!
SaratSarat,
The same restriction that is there for the transport of the whole database lies completely true for the transportable tablespace as well if you are going for the cross platform. Endian must match across the platforms than only you can do this otherwise, as like the database feature, you need to convert the source file to the target endian.
If you look at the reference doc for the Trasnport Tablespace command,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta063.htm#RCMRF1919
This restriction is documented there besides other restrictions
>
Restrictions and Usage Notes
The limitations on creating transportable tablespace sets described in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide apply to transporting tablespaces from backup, with the exception of the requirement to make the tablespaces read-only.
TRANSPORT TABLESPACE does not perform endian format conversion. If the target platform has a different endian format, then you must use the RMAN CONVERT command to perform the separate step of converting the endian format of the datafiles in the transportable set.

Making cross-platform AVIs readable by Windows?

Okay, before describing the whole problem, we're using Compressor 2.0.1 Academic, not 2.3 as we have G5 Macs here and didn't feel the need to do the crossgrade upgrade, and I don't necessarily need a Compressor based solution, just any solution that works. (if not Compressor, then hopefully some freeware app)
Basically, I need to get cross-platform AVIs that are readable by Windows, of finished projects, that can then be converted into WMV format with Windows Media Encoder. I'm aware of solutions like Flip4Mac and Cleaner, but I don't want to limit myself to WMV7 support, and Flip4Mac doesn't give advanced enough options in terms of setting things like bitrate.
I've tried a variety of tools, including Compressor, MPEG Streamclip, ffMpegX, and I just can't get cross-platform readable AVIs, either in uncompressed format, or using Apple Motion-JPEG at 100% quality.
The main problem with Compressor, at least 2.0.1 (if they've fixed it in 2.3 please let me know), is that once an AVI gets above a certain file size, it seems to be 4GB, but this isn't a FAT32 file system limitation, then the index header just gets corrupt.
That is, let's say I want to compress HDV to WMV. I have to:
a) Compress from HDV to a H.264 100% quality (or Apple Motion-JPEG 100%) RESIZED to 960x540. (half size) This is because Compressor can't resize files going to AVI
b) then compress that file to an uncompressed AVI
c) drag that AVI into VirtualDub on a PC, which will read it, but has to reindex the file, and then output another uncompressed copy
This does work, but it's cumbersome as ****, and there has to be a better solution.
The guys at Squared5 (MPEGStreamclip) said 1.8 fixed the problem with AVI's not being cross-platform readable, but I tried that version, and I'm getting errors, so I've sent them error logs to try and troubleshoot it. The error log in question is here:
http://www.goodcowfilms.com/web/mpegstreamclip18errorlog.rtf
ffMpegX will kinda work, if I use the Microsoft MPEG4v2 codec, but only up to a certain filesize as well.
DivX Pro won't take HDV files, so that isn't helpful.
Any suggestions here? I just need to make AVIs, in a lossless (or near close, like 100% JPEG) format that are cross-platform compatible.
Thanks in advance.
work: 4x2.5GHz G5, 4GB DDR2 SDRAM/home: 1.83GHz Core Duo, 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

How new is the version you speak of? I tried the demo for their highest end WMV suite about a month ago, and not only did it not allow you to set custom bitrates, but when converting video it left a green tinge on it that would come and go. (HDV to WMV)
I also apparently found out the exact feature or support I need... I need a Mac program that can write an AVI 2.0 complaint file. AVI 1.0 doesn't support files over 4GB, whereas AVI 2.0 has an unlimited file size limit.
Squared5, the makers of MPEGStreamclip, are going to look into adding it into their next version.

set your text/field members to Arial *
Thanks, setting the text member to Arial* is something I needed to do, but even after selecting the embedded font it is still too small when going to the Mac. Somehow I need to increase the font size when publishing the Win app to the Mac. For whatever reason, Win Arial 10 looks larger on the screen than when it gets embedded and displayed on the Mac. My movies also have a hundred or so text fields in each so having to select a new font like Arial* is a lot of work. Can you please tell me how to automatically increase the size of the font from say 10 =>11 or 12 when going from Win to Mac without hours of work. I could see when I manually increased the Arial* 10 in Windows to Arial* 11 in the Mac that the font was almost big enough to fix my problem. How do I increase the font size when publishing from Win to Mac without having to do it manually?
That's because the monitor resolution on a mac is 96dpi vs. a PC's 72dpi... of course, the last time I worked on a mac for anything important it was OS 9, so I don't know if that's still true, but it would explain what you're seeing.

Artbox vs Final Cut Server - Cross-platform?

We were looking into Artbox just when Apple landed on it. Now considering Final Cut Studio (we're using FCP).
The web page mentions an osx/windows "cross-platform" client. Does anyone know if this will be for Linux as well? The artbox was real cross-platform...
-Kurt.
Other OS Ubuntu Linux + Mac OS X 10.4

When it was artbox it was a Java app - not sure what Apple has done with it now, but it might run on Linux if it's still a Java app?

Cross platform power point videos - need help!

I'm trying to create a MS powerpoint that will work on either windoze or Mac (my primary creation platform is MS office 2011 on the mac, but I also have MSO 2010 on an XP machine).
I've somewhat mastered the issues with audio files, but am stymied with videos. I have youtube donwnloaders for both the mac and windows, but cannot get a format with either that is supposed to work cross platform [I can't depend on any iTunes or other non standard apps on the windoze machines].
According to a post on a MS help site, the video formats that are supposed to work crossplatform are: MOV M4V AVI WMV. Unfortunately, neither of the youtube downloaders I have can create any of these formats that work. The downloader on windoze can create an AVI, but PPT won't display it when I embed it in the slide.
