Can we close forcefully iOS gallery if its open using titanium ?
I need close the iOS gallery if the application goes to background to foreground.In the documentation i don't any such method or event.So making sure here by asking.
This question was asked recently (by you?) on the Appcelerator JIRA. https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/AC-5647
It is possible on iOS to do this using Hyperloop. If something similar exists natively on Android too then that can also be implemented through hyperloop
Code as proposed in that ticket.
var TiApp = require('Titanium/TiApp');
TiApp.app().hideModalControllerAnimated(TiApp.getController().topPresentedController, true);

I have seen that titanium support CoverFlowView in titanium but it works only on ios, Can anyone have idea to achieve CoverFlow in android with titanium
Thanks in advance
Looks like you are in luck! Someone already built a coverflow module for Android using the Android development environment.
https://github.com/moondroid/CoverFlow
You need to be willing to write the additional code for that to turn it into a module for Titanium.
http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/3.0/#!/guide/Android_Module_Development_Guide
It should be possible, but I must admit I've never tried to write one myself.
Basically you cannot get Coverflow on Android. Since it is a native iOs component which is not implemented in Android at all. Frameworks like Titanium always "link" your commands to internal system APIs. When there is no API there is no way to access it. Of course you could try to build it on your own but I think this would not work that well. And its a lot of work!
Additionally cover flow is not really useful (except for holding just a few items). Have a look at my question at ux.stackexchange.
We want to launch an APP silently in iPhone without bring this APP to the Foreground. In iOS 5.x we achieve this goal by this code:
[(SBApplication*)app setDisplaySetting:0x4 flag:NO];
[(SBDisplayStack*)displayStack pushDisplay:app];
[(SBDisplayStack*)displayStack popDisplay:app];
But, in iOS 6.x there is not SBDisplayStack any more. I did some search but not found any answers. Someone says that SBWorkSpace replaces the SBDisplayStack in iOS 6.x. We use SBAppToAppWorkspaceTransaction to implement but always bring the APP to the Foreground which dose not achieve our goal.
Anyone can help me? Thx!
You can use the SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifier() function from the SpringBoardServices private framework. It takes a suspended argument:
SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifier(CFSTR("com.company.app"), TRUE);
You'll also need the com.apple.springboard.launchapplications entitlement for this.
Does anyone have a clear idea about or a sample of air native extension that helps me use alert view of apple touch devices.
I tried a lot for the same but ended up getting no success.
Thanks in advance.
I am not tried this library anyhow please try with NativeAlert.
(OR)
This for alternative for access native UI.
You can try with ios-theme-for-flex-mobile-projects link.
This link shows like iOS Alert view.
Please find mobiletheme_ios_usage.fxp link you can download that project then workout.You can see iOS alert view(Not Native UI).
We are going to develop a mobile app (iOS and Android), which should provide downloading and storing several user-selected PDF files and viewing them within the app (iOS with WebView) or with an external PDF Viewer (Android).
My Question is: Is this possible with Trigger.io? I didn't find anything concerning this in the official documentation. Can we do something with the file or the child browser / tabs module? If yes, do you have any examples?
Note: We will use Backbone.js and jQuery Mobile as additional libraries.
The Android webview doesn't allow for inline opening of PDFs - you can test that by opening e.g. http://trigger.io/cross-platform-application-development-blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/trigger.io-whitepaper.pdf in your stock browser.
On iOS, you can use:
forge.tools.getURL('my_file.pdf',
function (file) {
forge.tabs.open(file);
}
);
But that won't work on Android (tested on 2.3, 3 and 4.0).
Short answer - yes.
Downloading, storing, then showing/referencing later can definitely be done. Check out the forge.file documentation.
I have not tried the child browser feature yet. Although the tabs module will work, I think its best to just let the device (and its user settings) decide how to display/render the PDF. I am only saying this because my devices (especially the Android ones... 2.3 and 4.x) tend to behave differently. Either way... the device's "back button" always gets me back to where I left off in my trigger.io app.
iOS 5 introduced Notification Center Widgets and I would like to experiment with those widgets and make custom ones (with a Jailbroken device). I couldn't quite figure out how to make such a widget. The Widgets (WeeApps) are bundles stored in /System/Library/WeeAppPlugins. It would be great if anyone has already writren a guide or could share how the principal class of a WeeApp has to look like. Ideal would be to have a WeeApp NIC template for theos :)
Note: This question is regarding so called WeeApps, system plugins for Notification Center introduced in iOS 5. Not to be confused with Today View Extensions introduced in iOS 8.
I don't want to shameless-plug in here, but I wrote a small tutorial to help you with this.
How to write Notification Center Widgets for iOS (iOS 6 and Below)
Hope it helps you!
UPDATE
Please note this is for iOS widgets running iOS 6 and below - In other words, this is for old jailbreak development. I may write an iOS 8 tutorial eventually, but this one is not it.
OK i think i have found a good way to understand it, a sample widget with full source code available on github: https://github.com/WillFour20/WeeAppTest But whats most helpful is this tutorial and the NIC template for theos mentioned in the tutorial, I already made several widgets using this method and my custom NIC templates. http://weeplugins.com/blog/?p=1
