I am using worklight 6.2 Consumer Edition on WAS Liberty Profile 8.5.5.1 Server. I am using jQuery Mobile 1.4.2 to develop UI. When I install app on iPhone/iPad, status bar of phone is hiding some part of my app's header.
How can I fix this issue (if its an issue)?
This works fine in a default new app with jQuery Mobile that was generated by Worklight Studio. As you can see, the status does not overlap the text.
You can also take a look at the Worklight Starter with jQuery Mobile edition, that also works on iOS w/out the status bar covering the top of app. Compare your CSS.
You need to provide a screen shot of what you're seeing, as well as provide a sample application where you are experiencing it. This issue originates from your code. Provide code.
One possible solution would be to add some margin-top to whichever element is at the top of your applicaiton's HTML.

I'm building a stand-alone application.
The problem is that when I deploy on my webserver, then test it on a desktop browser, everything's fine, not on my mobile device (IPad): the colors are different (yeah, I'm stuck because of colors -.-).
I tried with different browsers - same results.
I use the mobile.ios.css file for my app. So, per example, with the ios stylesheet you got the default blue gradient navbar with the white text for the title (ok on desktop browser). On my Ipad it renders a gray/white gradient instead of the blue and the title is a deeper gray with some shadow. It seems to be the default style of the navbar, but why is it working on a desktop then?
I used the theme builder offered on the kendo ui website to fix it up, but it failed.
I think this issue belongs to the javascript behind kendo framework.
Anybody got an idea or went through some similar difficulties?
Kendo UI Mobile shows slightly different styling on iPhone and iPad, to better blend in as a native-like application. There are also differences between iOS versions (e.g. the Switch is different between 4 and 5 and the TabStrip between 5 and 6).
If you prefer the same styling everywhere, you can force the platform in your application - check the docs for how to do it.
I am trying to use the iOS smart app banner on my website. I am currently using jquery mobile 1.3.1 for development. The problem I'm having is jquery mobile automatically hides the address bar on page load. Since the smart app banner appears to be a part of the address bar, the user cannot see the smart app banner unless they scroll up. Is there anyway around this problem? Ideally the page would load and show the smart app banner and not the address bar. However, at this point I would be fine showing both on page load. I know the folks over at HTML5 Boilerplate have solved this issue. See:
Hiding address bar without hiding the smart app banner on iOS 6
The problem with this solution for me is turning off the hide address bar feature in jquery mobile. I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish without altering the jquery mobile core code. I don't really want to alter the jquery mobile code. Mainly because I don't like changing code that I have to update when a new version comes out. Plus I am pulling the jquery mobile file from jquery's CDN. I would like to find another way to solve this problem. Any ideas? Thank.
Add
window.oldScroll = window.scrollTo;
window.scrollTo = function(){return false;};
before you load jquery mobile. This will override Jquery mobile hiding. then you can use the helper.js by reassigning scrollTo after jquery mobile script.
i'm developing a simple three tabs app for Android and iPhone, using IBM Worklight as framework. Every tab links to a div with data-role="page", as jQuery Mobile specifications.
If I implement the jquery fixed persistent tabbar like is explained there (http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/toolbars/footer-persist-a.html), i'm encountering some flickering on the tab item in page transition (with any transiction effect).
If I set the default transition to "none", I could resolve this problem, but I lost the transiction native-like effect.
This behavior appears only if i test the App with a real android device (Xperia Neo, GS2).
If i navigate trough the pages of http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/ with my smartphone, especially here: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/toolbars/footer-persist-d.html i can't see the strange behavior, but the footer won't be persistent trough the pages, it just re-render like the whole content and this is worse (this happen with the stock browser or Dolphin, instead looks very well by using Chrome).
Is there a way to improve this effect or there is another way to implement fixed persistent tab bar?
I used as reference the default Android Contacts App.
Maybe you're getting this flicker because you're navigating between pages using rel="external". Try to pass from one page to the other without ajax and you'll see that flickering will dissapear
The problem is due to poor performance of the WebView of the Android environment in rendering 3d transition.
Solved by removing the transition effect with:
$.mobile.defaultPageTransition = "none";
Something else that could help is putting these attributes in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true"
android:largeScreens="false"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="false"
android:xlargeScreens="false" />
<application
android:debuggable="false"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"/>
I am writing an application for iPad using phonegap (Simple application using HTML5 and jQuery). The problem is the application window is draggable, as seen in image when I drag window down it comes down and when I leave window it goes up automatically. I don't want this behavior.
Try to set the UIWebViewBounce to NO in your file Cordova.plist.
Check this link: How to prevent app running in phone-gap from scrolling vertically?
Note: with this solution, you may disable the "landscape mode" of your app.
Hope this helps, let me know if this works for you mate
For single form UI's the form assistant in the mobile safari virtual keyboard doesn't provide much value and reduces the useable space in the viewport. Is it possible to remove this section of the keyboard for forms that do not benefit from this?
In essence, you must wait till the keyboard responds and then forcibly grab and remove that top bar. It's not pretty and definitely not perfect but it is a starting place. I'll post the refinement of this process as I work on it myself.
Here is the question. I implemented this using Trigger.IO and native plugins but, naturally, you can ignore that and just run it on your UIWebView: How can I hide Form Assistant with iOS native plugins using Trigger.IO?
