JavaOne 2012: JavaFX on iOS, Android and Windows 8 Metro???

Besides wonderful demos on JavaOne 2012 I'was wondering one big thing: Where are the news from JavaOne about JavaFX (embedded) running on iOS (ready to AppStore), Android and Windows 8 metro????

Thanks Adrian for that information! Another guy who spoke with people from Oracle told us via twitter that's not a technical and not a political problem! But what you say ("management has not deciced yet...") sounds like a political problem. I can't believe that Oracle does not believe in a developer demand for iOS and android support?!
Yeeees, many many developer are looking for a good(!) technology to develop crossplatform mobile applications for phones and tablets. currently there is no really good technology. As a developer you have to decide to choose the native way - so you have to develop 3 times the same app for iOS, android and windows 8 -/ metro, or choose the HTML5 way. Web apps written in HTML(5), javascript and CSS are good for small and simple things. But the main problem with web apps is the really poor rendering performance, especially of Android devices! Developing web apps with HTML frameworks like JQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch, Phonegab/Cordova and so on doesn't make much fun. It's really a hard and time consuming job to develop native looking apps with HTML5 which works performant too...
So what we really really need is a real crossplatform technology like Java and JavaFX! JavaFX for iOS, Android and Metro would be a killer technology! Java (Swing) is not really often used to develop main stream applications...Anybody know a popular application like Photoshop, Word, Firefox, Angry Bird, Evernote, ... written in Java Swing??? No, Java is only used for business applications and server code (J2EE).
So if Oracle invests many dollers in pushing JavaFX as the new platform for modern user interfaces, the most important thing - IMO - is to support modern operation systems like iOS, Android and Metro. There are so many young developers who developing innovativ apps for the iPhone - all these developers are Oracle clients of the future if they would use Java(FX)! The Java language is simple and JavaFX uses modern technologies like CSS and XML - technologies which are known by young developers.
So Oracle, please show us your stuff from your labs, publish Java embedded for iOS, Android and Metro.
The most important thing for me concerning JavaOne 2012 was any anncounement of "JavaFX on iOS, ....". But I was really disappointed to hear no single word of this topic...
So Oracle please speak to your developers and clients, speak with us and stop this annoying secretiveness...
Best regards,
Tobi

  • Solution: iPad/iPhone Login issues with IIS as Reverse Proxy (Android and Windows Phone works)

    Hi,
    I had issues with iPad/iPhone access from external and tried a lot. Now I found my solution I like to share.
    I setup a IIS on Windows Server 2012 with ARR 2.5 and Android and Windows Phone could login but not iPad and iPhone.
    The IIS Log on the reverse proxy showed:
    2013-02-26 12:03:31 <IP> POST /webticket/webticketservice.svc X-ARR-CACHE-HIT=0&X-ARR-LOG-ID=1996c8d7-09d0-4310-8da4-a8dfb7940e28 443 - <ClientIP> Lync%202010/1.6+CFNetwork/609+Darwin/13.0.0 - 401 0 0 124

    First Request gets a 401 while anonymous. Second try would be with authentication but it never reached the internal front end server.
    After I installed a fix for ARR

    Hi,
    This resolved our problem too!! So happy after 2 weeks of messing around with just about every setting recommended from all types of forums and rebuilding our reverse proxy I was at a loose end. 
    Our environment is Lync 2013 Enterprise, Lync 2013 Edge, IIS as Reverse Proxy on Server 2012 using ARR 2.5
    We had Android and Windows clients working but no iOS devices at all. In the iOS log we were seeing 
    <h1>Server Error</h1></div><div id="content"> <div class="content-container"><fieldset> <h2>502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.</h2> <h3>There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.</h3> </fieldset></div></div></body></html>
    When the client was trying to retrieve from the webticketservice.svc
    2013-04-11 17:19:44.659 Lync[4970:6c61000] INFO TRANSPORT TransportUtilityFunctions.cpp/907:<ReceivedResponse>

    Installed the HotFix from here:-
    Hotfix for Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2.5 for IIS7 (KB 2732764) (x64)
    Rebooted the Reverse Proxy and iOS clients worked straight away for both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 on both iPhone 5 and iPad both. 
    I hope this helps others as I was losing the plot :-)
    Cheers

  • ActiveSync autodiscover not working for iPhone but for Android and Windows Phone

    Hi
    We have setup an Exchange 2013 hosted environment, where different mail domains are running on it.
    The main domain is mydomain.com. One of the client domains is customer.com.
    Autodiscover for customer.com has a cname which points to autodiscover.mydomain.com, on our firewall this url is redirected to autodiscover-s.mydomain.com, where our public certificate for mydomain.com is applied. Autodiscover for all
    our customers finally ends at autodiscover-s.mydomain.com.
    Outlook WebApp, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync for all customers is reachable through mail.mydomain.com.
    Everything works fine, except of autodiscover for iPhones. I always have to enter the server name mail.mydomain.com manually. After that ActiveSync works on iPhones as well.
    The Problem doesn’t exist on Androids and Windows Phones.
    Any suggestion?
    Regards
    Peter

    Yes, Interestingly same configuration is working in my home lab, but not working at customer. The version is 10.5
    Cannot say wireless issue as jabber for windows is working from wireless

    I purchased a large app early 2012. It was updated late 2012 to support iOS 6 and iPhone 5. Unlike other apps that I've purchased which say "open" when I view them in the App Store, this one shews a full purchase price. I've deleted and downloaded this app before. If I delete it again will I be made to pay for it again? or will it download with everything anew? or will I lose the app?

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.

  • Using the Kobo App for reading FXL on Android and Windows devices?

    Hi, I am just finishing transferring my iPad App into a FXL ebook so I can get it out to a wider audience now that this technology is available, but I have so far only tested it on a Mac with both the iBooks and Kobo Apps. I also tested with Adobe Digital Editions, but this seems to have a bit of a bug when you use a button to click to another page the new page appears zoomed in and cropped off!
    Has anyone tested FXL on the Kobo App on a Android and/or Windows device, tablet, smartphone, laptop etc and if so does it work the same as on the OS Mac version?
    Cheers

  • Cross-Platform Development for Android and Windows PC

    Hi,
    Im trying to build a native Android app and port it over to windows.  Is there a way to build the Android App to minimize the recoding in Windows?  
    Has anyone used CodeNameOne or Xamarin and, if so, what was your experience? Are there better alternatives or approaches?
    In case it makes a difference, is it better to build an app in Android and port to Windows (desktop) or build in Windows and port into Android?
    Thanks,
    Soroush

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    As far as I know, Visual Studio does not support Android development. I suggest you should consulting your issue on Android forums for better support.
    For CodeNameOne and Xamarin, they are third-party tools, please consult on the forums/community provided by their authors.

  • Can i use unc or ucwa web api to build android and windows phone app ?

    is there anyway to develop custom client application using unc web api ( android, ios, windows phone ) with following features
    App to app audio / video calling
    App to app audio conference call
    App to app messaging 
     

    Instant messaging is perfectly supported already by UCWA, audio/video are not at this moment.
    UCWA can be used by any platform/device that can 'speak HTTP', so yes the platforms you mentioned are suitable UCWA clients.
    You may adopt third party solutions and combine them with UCWA within your app in order to achieve audio/video call support.

    I really need HELP!!! I have a laptop that runs with windows vista, and I have been having issues trying to get it to download the new version of itunes that would be compatible to the new version of ios 7 that I have already updated on my ipad. I have downloaded this three times, it shows that the download is complete, but when I connect my ipad to my laptop it is still telling me that I have to download the new version again and it will not sync with my ipad until I do. Does anyone else have this issue and can anyone help me figure out how to correct it? I would be most grateful!!

  • Annotation does not transfer between android and windows....

    I originally asked this question in June.
    I bought a Kindle Fire.
    I downloaded Adobe for Android.
    I read some pdf's for work.
    I annotated them.
    I plugged the kindle into my desktop.
    I opened a file explorer on my desktop and went to look at the annotated files on my desktop using Adobe 11 reader.
    There was no annotation.
    There was no annotation when I copied the file onto my desktop.
    There still is annotation when I open the file on my kindle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    There is no sync problem because I am not moving the file through the cloud.
    I need the annotation to transfer so I can put it back into my library and continue using the annotated file for research and writing..
    Unless this software can do this kind of an operation it is useless to me and severely limits my ability to use my kindle.
    Is there a solution?
    Is there an update?
    My conversation in June was closed by staff after telling me to send the files to [email protected] because the discussion groups don't accept attachments.
    They promptly neglected to reply  to me.
    I have searched my spam folder and found nothing.
    Someone dropped the ball.....
    please pick it up....
    tell me what I have done wrong or that the software does not actually support this....
    or someone who can get this software to work under the conditions I described above please tell me how they did it....
    Awaiting your solutions.....

    Hi,
    We are still investigating this issue and wanted to share few initial results with you.
    We are able to see this happening on device having Android version 4.4. Can you please confirm Android version on your device?
    And the good news is that things start working fine if we restart the device before connecting to the desktop.
    Quick steps you need to follow -
    1. Restart your device
    2. Now attach it to desktop
    3. Try to open files having highlighted text.
    It should work after following these steps. Please try and it should solve your problem for now.
    Thanks

  • Page layout errors in ePub on Bluefire and Aldiko Android and windows

    We are having a fixed layout epub which is running properly on Adobe Digital Edition(ADE) windows. But when we run the same sample on readers (Bluefire and aldiko).
    The following issues are encountered..
    1.Css styles and fonts doesn't gets rendered properly.
    2.Absolute positioning doesn't work where we are having more than one <div>.For ex: If the first div contains image and the second div contains text then we can't place the text over image.
    Please provide the solution for the same.
    Sample source url:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ikblv6t71jmzizc/SampleForAdobe.epub?dl=0

    Yes - we have tried BlueFire; also Aldiko, NeoSaur and Mantano (plus about 30 other apps - mostly based on ADE.
    Others which don't use ADE display the content as expected e.g. OverDrive Media Console http://www.overdrive.com)
    It also appears that Adobe are having a *REALLY* bad day as the images attached to the original post have been corrupted. To see what we're talking about, have a look at the URL:

  • Are iTunes iOS 5 and Windows XP compatible?

    I'm having problems installing the latest iTunes on my Windows XP laptop. I imported the .exe file but half way through executing installation it comes up with an error. Is latest version of iTunes compatible with Windows XP?

    The latest version of iTunes refuses to install on x64 with the information that Win x64 is not supported.
    That's annoying, I hope there will be a 64bit version soon...
