As I am new to PhoneGap and SenchaTouch I want to know the basic information . I understand that sencha Touch is only for web applications accessed from device. I am correct Please clarify my doubt that is 'Is Sencha UI and SenchaTouch only meant for web applications accessed from device or for native apps too?'
Thank you
Lakshmi
Sencha touch is a web toolkit, provides API to create interface looks similar to Native UI. But, however it is still a web application with a native look. However, if you want to crate the native packaging (application build) and if you want to access the device hardware features like camera, sensor then you can go for PhoneGap. PhoneGap can warp the HTML and JavaScript code and helps you to generate native builds for each platforms.

I am using agora-meeting-core for a meeting web app. Now, I need to add a virtual background. How can I implement it?
It looks like virtual backgrounds isn't a feature of this open source Agora example project, or the Web SDK actually.
It is a feature of the Native SDK though, (iOS, macOS, Android, Windows)
I am building a language translation flashcard web app. I will have a PWA version on the website and then a native app in the Play Store and Windows Store.. maybe even Apple Store eventually. First time looking to build a native app or pseudo native app.
The app currently uses the Web Speech API and Voice Recognition API in HTML5. These API's have support on Chrome and Android Web Browser. It appears they are in progress for Firefox and some other browsers.
Since the best functionality of the app is built upon these browser based API's..
I am wondering if I choose to use Vue Native instead of Cordova/Phonegap, how is it possible to access these HTML5 APIs natively or is there a native solution?
I'm developing a mobile app which has a support feature for clients. Support is a chat session. We are planning to use intercom chat integration with our react-native mobile app. We are using React-Native.So is there any way to integrate intercom chat with my mobile app ??
If it is possible can i be able to change intercom chat UI with customized react-native components ??
Any links helps would be appreciated ?
Yes, you can integrate Intercom in a react-native application. You can use
react-native-intercom, this a wrapper of Intercom-ios-sdk and does not have options to further customization (only launcher).
You'll have to write some native code hopefully everything is in the README.me
About changing intercom UI: it is not possible. Really, don't waste your time trying to do this. They simply don't offer this feature.
Their clients SDK are not open source even if they are in GitHub. If you go to Intercom Android SDK or Intercom iOS SDK you would think that they open sourced them but if you see their files you're gonna see that it is just binary files. You cannot edit them. Or maybe you can but in a hacky way.
The only way to use your own components is to use their API directly and implement the UI from scratch. I strongly recommend you to don't do it. They have API call restrictions (500 requests per minute) which is easy to achieve because of the number of calls you'll have to send in order to make it work properly.
I'm trying to understand how programs like PhoneGap and Adobe Air work, that allow you to 'write once and run anywhere' on mobile platforms. The way I understand it now is that you build your application as a web app using either HTML5, or flash, or I don't know what, and it takes in those files and converts them to the proper types for each mobile OS. Assuming this is correct, what I would like to know is, what the options for developing web apps that are able to be converted into apps are; and what the most popular platforms to use/learn flash, or html5, or JavaScript, or I have no idea what are.
I want to build a web app to deploy across multiple phone platforms, but I don't know where to start. Thanks for the help!
You use tools like PhoneGap to access native device API's through JavaScript. If you don't need access to these API's you can write a HTML5 app and install it using "Add to home screen" etc.
As HTML5 matures, more and more of the device API's are actually directly available through HTML5 (for instance GPS), so depending on what you want to do access it might be in/scheduled to be part of the Device API.
Write once and run anywhere
There are different frameworks that lets you deploy to multiple platforms through the device specific install process. These tools usually work in 2 ways. Run in an embedded browser, or compile to native code.
PhoneGap runs the HTML5 part of your app in an embedded browser. Other tools like MonoTouch actually cross-compiles to native code, so they run on the bare metal.
Cross platform using HTML5
There are plenty of frameworks you can use to make mobile apps with HTML5. These usually help make the app "feel native", and includes abstractions over device specific idioms that differ between the different devices.
Popular frameworks includes Sencha Touch, JQuery Mobile and a bunch of others.
If you want the users to install the app through the AppStore/Market etc. then a solution like PhoneGap is a good option. If you don't care about that you can write your app and add a meta tag like
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
and when you add it to the home screen it'll look just like any other app and run in an embedded browser without the browser window etc. You can add offline capabilities using HTML5 and synch when users go on-line etc. all just using HTML5.
Have a look at the Sencha touch app gallery to see what is possible with this technology.
