InDesign png export for mobile app

Dear All,
I have put together a number of text boxes and images in InDesign Creative Cloud CS6 and exported them as one png (or jpeg) image for use in a jQuery mobile iPhone app that I'm creating in Dreamweaver. Will this work? Rather than inserting text box, image, text box, images, text box, images, etc. into a page of the mobile app, can I just create one png image in InDesign that includes everything, various text boxes, images, wrapped images, html active inserts, etc., and have people scroll through it as a page in the iPhone app? The InDesign file for this one page is about 1.1 mb right now. Will this png image be able to zoom and do everthing it needs to do in the iPhone app? Creative Cloud CS6 - Mac - Lion 10.7.4. Thanks.

Dear Jongware,
My thinking is the same as yours. If the iPhone app will allow you to zoom a single image, it must allow you to also zoom a compounded image. I like the design format of InDesign better than the jQuery Mobile design page in Dreamweaver because InDesign allows you to do text wrap around images and just set things up in a more dynamic fashion. We still want people to be able to zoom in on a single smaller image in order to view it up close, however so if the code in the iPhone app allows the viewer to zoom in on an individual image, it should allow a scroll and zoom in on a larger page that is also a png image -- makes sense to me. The scroll feature works in the multiscreen view and in Safari browser, but it doesn't allow a zoom preview -- I'll have to do that in the iPhone itself.
Anyone else out there have any ideas? Thanks to Jongware.

SSL Pinning support for mobile apps ?

Hi there
i've just read this article and wondered if there is cross platform support for SSL pinning for mobile apps (iOS and Android) developed with AIR ?
So far my Google research wasn't successful, therefore i ask here.
Maybe this feature could be supported by a native extension ?
Thank you for any hint.

I believe IBM has a mini version of DB2 designed for mobile Apps.
Good Luck,

Help me in embedding a map for mobile app

I have built a basic simple iphone app in flash cs5.Now I want to create a new scene in flash cs5 to show this map fully funtional along with markers in a small resolution for mobile app.(iphone)
link of the map:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100795895206195398252.00044490e878 965c7dd91&t=p&om=0&ll=12.340002,77.409668&spn=4.989012,7.404785&source=embed
Pls help me out in sorting this problem out

You need to sign up for google maps API here : http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html, get your API key. You need this otherwise it will not work. Thendownload the SDK, from here:http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/flash/ its on the right, on step 2, "SDK"
the set up flash with the SDK, and then in your components inspector there will be a new folder saying google.
Drag that component onto the stage. Then add this code: information will need to be changed to suit your location and API KEY
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.geom.Point;
import com.google.maps.LatLng;
import com.google.maps.Map;
import com.google.maps.MapEvent;
import com.google.maps.MapType;
public class googlemap extends Sprite {
var map:Map = new Map();
public function googlemap() {
map.key = "ABQIAAAAF5GHwa7hgxz5etSP-jJVwhSK_rP-_Usta8fEpiVtC50gLzF69hQ6_VK0zgpArekpmdsRCJK2Vnp60A";
map.setSize(new Point(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight));
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
map.setCenter(new LatLng(45.436319770227,12.33638048172), 13, MapType.SATELLITE_MAP_TYPE);

Accordion navigation pane for mobile apps

Hey,
       Is there a way to create an accordion pane in a android mobile app using Flash Builder? I know you could do it flash web pages. But, for mobile app, I am not sure. I apologize if this is a stupid or redundant question.
Any direction is greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about this, for no reason other than I was meant to be doing something else.
My initial idea was that you could probably achieve something that would give you reasonable flexibility in an accordion like control by creating a custom item renderer for an s:List. EG: Override public function set selected(b:Boolean):void; in the item renderer to add the display clip when selected and remove it when deselected. You could then supply your item elements as an IList with an Array of IVisualElement as its source. I knocked up a quick test and bar resizing the renderer (which I would need to think about a bit) it worked pretty effectively.
Then, although it is a bit less elegant, it occurred to me you could use a simple s:VGroup swapping the relevant child elements in and out of the display list based on clicks on the label buttons.

Export offline mobile app datagrid to file able to open in Excel

I created an offline mobile app using Flash and I have a datagrid I would like to export/save as a file (csv maybe) that can later be opened by Excel. I appreciate any help.

My datagrid looks like this...
Time
Description
Duration
00:03
Loud
4
00:28
Smatter
7
00:50
Medium
10
01:06
Loud

02:07

I used this code to create the datagrid...
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.controls.DataGrid;
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
var historyArray:Array = [];
historyArray = [];
list_history.dataProvider = new DataProvider(historyArray);
var list_history:fl.controls.DataGrid;
list_history.addColumn("Time");
list_history.addColumn("Description");
list_history.addColumn("Duration");
list_history.columns = ["Time", "Description", "Duration"];
I tried modifying the code you shared with me, but I think I am confusing myself more. Do you see where I am making mistakes with the code below?
var data:Array = [];
   // data header
    data[0] = {a:'Time',b:'Description',c:'Duration'};
    // data body
     for (var i:int = 0;i<list_history.columns.length;i++)
data[i] = {a:list_history.columns.dataField ('Time'),b:list_history.columns.dataField ('Description'),c: list_history.columns.dataField ('Duration')};
//make a csv string
    var csv:String = '';
    for (var i:int = 0;i<list_history.columns.length;i++)
               csv += data[i].a + ',' + data[i].b + ',' + data[i].c+'\n';
    //write to disk
     stage.doubleClickEnabled = true;
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,writeCSV);
    function writeCSV(event:MouseEvent):void
         var file:FileReference = new FileReference();
         var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
         bytes.writeUTFBytes(csv);
         file.save(bytes,'test.csv');
Thank you for your help on this.

Tools for Mobile App Development with HTML5/CSS

Hi --
I am interested in learning to develop cross platform mobile apps using HTML5 and CSS.
Which Adobe product(s) (and other tools) are best for this?
I'm guessing that Apache Cordova and Adobe PhoneGap Build are places to start but I'm looking for input from others.
I'm also guessing the Adobe Edge products are appropriate "IDEs" for this kind of thing?
What does Cordova bring to the table that isn't available in native HTML5/CSS?
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this question but upon reviewing the list of available forums this seemed like the best fit.
Thanks
Rich

Rich,
There are few routs you could go to create a Mobile App using Adobe tools.
1. Adobe Muse then export from Muse and visit build.adobe.com as Brad pointed out here:
Can I make a Mobile site with Muse and then go through PhoneGap?
"Export as HTML and the create a zip file with the contents. Go to Phonegap,s website and submit the app directly from there instead of through Dreamweaver."
2. Dreamweaver and Phonegap build access inside Dreamweaver. Read other users experiences on this community form before you rely solely on Dreamweaver to upload your app to build.adobe.com
3. Manually coding and uploading your html, js, css, assets (images, audio etc) files coded either in new adobe Edge Code or Dreamweaver to build.phonegap.com
For easier graphic editing for media devices use Adobe's Fireworks graphics software instead of Adobe Photoshop for graphics. Once you start on your project there are various workflows you can use depending on what you are trying to make.

LCM export for planning app in version 11.1.2.2 is failing

Hi All,
We are working on migrating the planning apps from dev to PROD (both are on 11.1.2.2) and I am trying to take an LCM export from my dev planning app by using the LCM utility but this LCM export is failing with the below error:
Error message WHILE exporting the planning app from Shared services using LCM: The LCM export is failing with this error message:
Error in migrating artifact, "/Plan Type/Plan1/Data Forms/VAT/Existing/Runoff/Renewal".
Can not find form: Renewal
Even though LCM export failed I still copied the folder from dev to prod
Error on the prod server:
I am copying the exported application folder from the DEV in prod servers in D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\import_export path. This is the error message I get when I click on the app name under file system in shared services
Listing file unavailable for file system repository - D:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/import_export/TEST/HP-TEST/resource. Error parsing application artifact listing metadata. An invalid listing or listing having empty tags.
However I still went ahead and tried to import it but getting the below error:
EPMLCM-37009: Error parsing application artifact listing metadata. An invalid listing or listing having empty tags.
Please let me know what is wrong and what can be done about it. Any help would be appreciated.

Try doing it from Shared Services and see if it is still failing. I think you are using an old xml file (someone deleted the form and the xml still has it).
So better start over from Shared Services and that will generate the new export.xml file.

How to create and use Data Vault with HTML/JavaScript (SAPUI5) for Mobile Apps?

Hello,
I am creating a demo Enterprise Mobile App, for cross platform and I want to use the Data Vault.
I am not able to figure out how to implement the Data Vault with HTML/JavaScript i.e. SAPUI5 for cross platform mobile apps I have a tutorial, but it is for Android based apps. Where as I want it for iOS as well. I guess, in this case, implementing the Data Vault using SAPUI5 over HTML and JavaScript would be better.
If anyone has any links or sample code to implement Data vault in HTML/JavaScript (SAPUI5) or specific for iOS apps, it would be great.
Thank you.

Hi,
This is the "SAP Mobile Documents" community, so this seems to be the wrong place for asking your question related to Data Vault / SAPUI5.
Maybe you should post your question here: http://scn.sap.com/community/developer-center/front-end.

Does Dreamweaver CS5.5 support in-app purchases for mobile apps?

I am starting to take a look at developing a mobile app for my business and Dreamweaver CS5.5 looks like the platform I am going to use. My question is this: do apps built this way have support for in-app purchases?
Thanks.

If you are asking can you develop it I don't see why not. Just refer to the documentation from the appropriate Marketplace for details on setting up in-app purchasing restrictions and requirements. If you are asking if there is a built-in function to make an easy "in-app purchase button" I would lean towards the No on this answer because I don't believe that is in DW.

What video format to export for Ipad Apps

Hi,
I am new in export flash to ipad. I tried to export my video as FLV for my ipad apps, it plays but its lagging or jerky.
I had tried other formats like mp4, f4v, m4v or mov it just doesn't play
Wonder if anyone knows what video format to export for my ipad apps?
Bruce
http://www.vmw.com.sg

[email protected], on an iPad, here's what I did to get the FLV loading and taking up (most) of the screen. You can't use the FLV Component skins so you have to use the UI Components as markc888 suggested below your comment. My only gripe with this solution is that I can't get the fullScreen button to make the video go full screen.
This is starts from a playVideo button on my stage.
playVideo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideoClick);
function playVideoClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
var flvPlayback:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
flvPlayback.x = 62;
flvPlayback.y = 62;
flvPlayback.width = 900;
flvPlayback.height = 506;
flvPlayback.fullScreenTakeOver = true;
flvPlayback.autoPlay = true;
flvPlayback.source = "yourMovie.flv";
flvPlayback.bufferTime = .1;
addChild(flvPlayback);
flvPlayback.playPauseButton = playPauseBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.stopButton = stopBtn_mc;
flvPlayback.seekBar = seekBar_mc;
var closeMovie:yourMovieClip = new yourMovieClip();
addChild(closeMovie);
closeMovie.x = 977;
closeMovie.y = 77;
closeMovie.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeMovieClick);
function closeMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
flvPlayback.stop();
removeChild(flvPlayback);
removeChild(closePres);
Hope it helps...

Joining tables for Mobile apps

can i access multiple table(like normal join) from one CallResponder's token for my mobile apps(flex 4.6)..if we can ,then how can we do this..i think, there is some solution,but i'm not aware of it.. please give me a short demo or link..how can you join table,by data binding.. thanks..

+1 for this. it's taking a while to lad on my 2 year old ipad mini, so this would probably help. though in my case, it's going to be an iOS install that needs to ho on a diet.i haven't worked out if it's the player part of the spp that's swelling or additional social aspects of the app that sre growing in size unecessarily.all things said, a music player shouldn't really need to be 75mb+.the android install on my htc m8s is about 13mb, by comparision, less than 2 thirds of the install size.

Question About what Azure Services I should be using for mobile app with website.

Hello,
I am wondering what Azure service would be best for my new application. I need to have an SQL database that I can connect to and modify from both a website and a mobile app preferably WP8 and Android. I was not really understanding whether I would need a
mobile service or normal SQL database. Which should I use or am I completely off track?
Thanks,
Matthias

Mobile Services uses SQL Database, nothing special on that SQL Database, its just like any other "normal" SQL Database.
Mobile Services provides "back-end services" that simplifies accessing SQL Database, Notification services, authentication, etc...
Let's assume you don't use Mobile Services, to use SQL Database, you would need your app (both mobile and web) to connect to the database. In practice, you will not want to expose your SQL database directly, so you'd end-up writing some kind of a "facade"
that your app will access instead of directly connecting to the database.
Instead of writing that "facade", Mobile services provides that for you (you still have to write code though, but less than what you need to write if you're rolling your own).
Both your web app and mobile apps can share the same SQL database (pay attention to the mobile service schema).
To help you decide, ask yourself what other features will your mobile app require? Authentication? Notification? etc... are you prepared to write those on your own or use various libraries instead of one?

How to manage source for mobile app build by android studio,Git or team explorer?

Hi,We use TFS 2013 for source control ,now we want to start mobile app using "android studio",
How could control source of that project,How we can have features of "tfs source control" on that type of project such a mobile app that uses "android studio".
I know we can integrate git or using command in team explorer but what is the differences and how to decide each one is better?
thanks
Thanks. Bahar Ghadami Web Developer And Technical expert

Hi Bahar,
As far as I know, you cannot have your code under source contorl of TFS when work on the mobile app that uses "Android studio". You cannot use Android Studio to connect to TFS hence it's unavailable for your requirement.
If your use Ecliplse, you might integrate with Team Explorer Everywhere and connect to your on-premise TFS.
