Just curious if anybody tried creating mobile apps using IBM Worklight to connect to Pebble Smart watch? Please share your experience and approach.
I have no experience with Pebble Smart watches, however from what I understand from their website (https://developer.getpebble.com/) it looks like they provide SDKs for Android and iOS.
Worklight uses Cordova, which means you could write a Cordova plugin to run native code in your app, and this native code could use the Pebble SDK.
It looks like others already started looking into it: https://github.com/konsumer/phonegap-pebble

I’m designing a mobile music program that needs to communicate with MIDI devices, bidirectionally. It needs to run on iOS and Android. If possible, also on Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux, but those three are of less priority. Now I am considering my options for frameworks.
I’ve looked in to React Native with Expo. It seems very straight forward for implementing the user interface. The only thing I am worried about is the lack of support for MIDI. At least I cannot find any information about this.
Is there any way to add support for MIDI devices to React Native with Expo, or do I need to look elsewhere?
I am building mobile app.
I would like to use Crosswalk with Mobile First Platform (MFP).
Currently MFP does not support Crosswalk
(See: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/hello-world/integrating-mfpf-sdk-in-cordova-applications/)
What is a rough estimated date of MFP supporting Crosswalk?
Mostly, I will use MFP. To use with MFP, instead of using Crosswalk, what other feature/library/Swappable WebView do you recommend me to use?
Thanks.
Development estimations or confirmations cannot be provided. If you are an IBM customer you can contact IBM directly and submit your inquiries and business justifications.
When using MobileFirst Platform it is currently not possible to swap the provided Cordova library with any available alternative at this time.
I have gone through a deep research on developing google glass apps using objective c ,but I have found that we should only use Java/Python/PHP to develop google glass apps. Since I am an objective c developer I am looking for some static library or framework for xcode, which is built to develop apps for google glass. Please give me any idea, is there any such frameworks/Library? Any of your suggestions would be much appreciated.
Yes, Google provides an Objective C API library at https://code.google.com/p/google-api-objectivec-client/ that includes generated routines for the Mirror API. You should probably also consult the documentation at https://developers.google.com/glass/develop/mirror/index for a broad understanding of how the Mirror API works.
Note that this will allow you to develop web services that work with Glass. It will not allow you to develop applications that run on Glass itself. It also will not allow you to write iOS applications that communicate directly with Glass - it will need a network connection to the Mirror server at Google and there may be some restrictions about how a callback will work.
Android SDK is what you use to create .APK files to run on an android or google glass device. It is based on the java platform.
Just like Prisoner says you can mess with the mirror API by sending cards to your device in almost any language via those starter kits.
If you are actually trying to make glassware you will need the Android SDK. Unless you are a very experienced programmer I wouldn't try to program in C to create apps going on glass.
On a side note: if you are a new programmer and are only experienced in C, try to learn python. Python is great for programming in C with a variation called CPython.
I want to develop some small apps for personal use. I don't want to market them, nor I want anyone other but me to have them. As a developer, I want to be able to put some minor utility app I'd like to have on my own smartphone (an iPhone, of course).
As I'm not going to develop anything commercial in the near future, I'm not going to subscribe the developer program. Is it possible to develop personal apps without subscribing to Apple's program? Would jailbreak help? Am I going to miss any possibility in the development (ability to subscribe to servers, message, use the maps...)
Thanks
there's a number of threads of this.. they all use ldid and are normally jailbroken
How can I deploy an iPhone application from Xcode to a real iPhone device?
Attempting to deploy my app on my jailbroken iphone, but the app closes immediately!
I'm developing mobile application in j2me. My target phone is "Nokia". In my app I'm using some Nokia API's .Now the requirements change, so that many other target devices than Nokia are also included. Here my doubt is if, on other phones, the mobile app developed with Nokia API is working or not. Please share your ideas.
It wont work, you might get ClassNotFoundException after running the midlet on different devices. Nokia UI library will residing be in Nokia mobile OS.
I haven't tried but if you can add the Nokia UI jar in your project as library and then try it on other devices. I will also try it. But i guess some of the api's will be having hardware dependency like sound etc..
