i want to present a URL for example (http://edition.cnn.com/) with a thumbnail image from the site
do i need to Use Web View or try to extract images from the HTML, or there is a better solution ?
thanks.
It depends on what you want to see in the thumbnail image.
If you want to see a rendered preview of the site, then loading the page on a web view and taking a screen shot of that could be a way to go.
If you want to present an icon instead, you could load the source and scan it for a meta tag that contains the site's icon image. (such as og:image for example) and then download that.

I am developing a ios mobile app.In that mobile app I am showing the gallery. I created gallery in grid format with the help of JSON data.and also i provide a edit icon on that all images and video's of the gallery.if user click on edit icon the image is to be deleted.after that remaining images and video only show in grid format.so to get the non deleted images and videos in grid format we need to refresh the window. so can any one tell me how to refresh the current window in appcelerator ?
This would be an excellent case for Alloy's data binding:
http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Alloy_Data_Binding
If you're not using Alloy or for some reason do not want to use Collections to store your JSON data, then you will need to wrap the code where you render the icons in a function. When something changes/deletes you will have to call this function which should start with calling removeAllChildren() on the parent view which it will add the icons to.
how to block all images in UIWebview like as if you are open
yahoo.com in this website all image content should be block mens user
can not see image.
thanks.
You could run or install some JavaScript which traverses the DOM and hides all images. Or add CSS for image tags to hide them. Or deny any image URL request in the web view delegate. There are a number of possible solutions depending on how the images are loaded and how you can tell what an image actually is.
I m designing my portfolio in ruby on rails. In order to restrict the image from being copied, i wanted to disable the right click and other features of copying an image from the website. How to do it?
In most modern browsers you can disable the right-click menu for a particular image. To do so, you can use the event handler oncontextmenu="return false;" within the IMG tag that defines your image:
<IMG border=0 src="..." oncontextmenu="return false;">
For example, the context menu has been disabled for this image:
Note: In older browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer 4.x or earlier) this trick won't work. Also, the context menu will show up if the user has disabled JavaScript.
As all others already said: It's not possible in a reliable way. Only thing you can consider is to watermark your images.
You can disable the right click with javascript.
However, this is a pretty bad idea.
Since your images are sent to the browser of the visitor, they will be accessible, either by displaying the source or analyzing the HTTP requests, in the cache files, or simply screenshoting.
You should not break the user navigation by disabling the right click, your images will be copiable and there's nothing you can do about it. Deal with it.
Sadly its not possible to stop people from copying an image on your page.
Simply disabling right click would not be enough, anyone could just view the source to see the image url

This guy has mentioned that we can add a transparent gif image to restrict the copy function but i am not getting how to do it. I m displaying my images inside carousel. And carousel gets very tricky sometimes. Also ive uploaded my images in cloudinary so if a person can get the URL of an image then he needs certain parameters to access it which only the owner has.
My upcoming mobile web project requires viewing dynamically chosen pdf files inside the webpage. I am using iFrame to display the pdf file and the file can be scrolled using two-finger scrolling. But the problems I am facing are:
The first page of the file is not displayed completely on the iPad and gets cut off along the width unlike when I view it on the desktop browsers where the first page of the pdf is always entirely displayed although zoomed out to fit in the iFrame area.
There is no visual indication for the users that the pdf document can be scrolled, i.e., there is no scroll bar on the pdf document.
The controls (page navigation, zoom etc.) for the pdf viewer (Adobe reader) don't appear on the document unlike when I see it on the desktop browsers.
What is the best way to achieve what I am trying to do? Do any of you experts know any solutions/workarounds to the problems I am facing? An entirely different approach using anything other than iFrame can also be considered.
The reason why the pdf should be inside the html page is that, the list of pdf files will be on a menu bar on the left side of the page and the user can click on any of them to view on the same page. Ideally, they will have the capability to toggle between full screen view and that view.
Any help is appreciated.
I created a tiny JavaScript module that helps you to show a PDF inline and be able to scroll it. But I also couldn't figure out a way to make it fit the total width of the parent container.

I came across this Recommended way to embed PDF in HTML? while researching on the web to find an answer.
The mentioned link discusses about some options that I can use and the google document viewer works for me though don't know if there is anything (like data limit) I need to be aware of before using it on the website. Also I have no idea if it is a good solution (though the full screen mode is not available, but zoom-in/zoom-out and next/prev page buttons are there are show up in the mobile safari on the iPad) to use for an web app that will be run on the iPad.
Anyway, I will keep researching for a better solution and if i don't find any, I'll stick to the google document viewer.
The issue appears to be a bug with Safari on the IPad.
I didn't find a solution for embedding the pdf in html but I did find this:
If you return FileStreamResult from your controller action instead of a view, the pdf will open in a new tab, it's not embedded html but at least your user is not having to download files and open them manually.
I had the same problem of the pdf not being displayed completely. The only thing I found to fix this was the change the size of the div containing the pdf.
For example if the element containing the pdf is a div then I change its width to any value and the rollback to the value it had before. Changing Width or height any one works.
Sometimes I had to wait a little using a setTimeout before calling my resizable method
How does Chrome browser capture a thumbnail image of most visited URLs and show me over a blank page under Most visited??
I am interested in knowing how I would implement it using for my website or an extension.. to take take screenshot.

I can only tell you how would I implement it. Once you would go to a site, I will add 1 to a counter if how many times you've entered it. If it's in the top 10, I would also take a screen shot of the site (chrome has a window in the class "Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND" which is the window that only contains the site, not the buttons and menus around it).
I can only guess it's not too far from what the guys in Google did.
If you want to write an extension that captures a screenshot of a current site then there is chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab() method.
I think that it takes a screenshot from the last time you visited the page and saves it in the "Top Sites" SQLite database file that can be found in your profile folder.
