Adding filetransfer in PhoneGap breaks build - ios

I'm trying to upload a video to a server in PhoneGap. The code is running in terms of opening the camera dialog and recording the video, but then the JS in the index.html file requires use of the FileTransfer plugin.
Adding this plugin from the phonegap command line results in the following error...
/platforms/ios/ManUtd/Plugins/org.apache.cordova.file-transfer/CDVFileTransfer.m:23:9: 'CDVLocalFilesystem.h' file not found
The html file is the documented code from the PhoneGap website
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Capture Video</title>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
// Called when capture operation is finished
//
function captureSuccess(mediaFiles) {
var i, len;
for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
uploadFile(mediaFiles[i]);
}
}
// Called if something bad happens.
//
function captureError(error) {
var msg = 'An error occurred during capture: ' + error.code;
navigator.notification.alert(msg, null, 'Uh oh!');
}
// A button will call this function
//
function captureVideo() {
// Launch device video recording application,
// allowing user to capture up to 2 video clips
navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit: 2});
}
// Upload files to server
function uploadFile(mediaFile) {
var ft = new FileTransfer(),
path = mediaFile.fullPath,
name = mediaFile.name;
ft.upload(path,
"http://my.domain.com/upload.php",
function(result) {
console.log('Upload success: ' + result.responseCode);
console.log(result.bytesSent + ' bytes sent');
},
function(error) {
console.log('Error uploading file ' + path + ': ' + error.code);
},
{ fileName: name });
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="captureVideo();">Capture Video</button> <br>
</body>
</html>
I have run both these commands and both result in the code breaking
$ phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-file.git
$ phonegap local plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-file-transfer.git
I am targeting iOS only at the moment

This appears to be related to the whole PhoneGap/Cordova thing.
Creating a new project using Cordova instead of PhoneGap, has sorted the problem. It appears as if the FileTransfer API is broken if you start an app using PhoneGap.

How to automatically change agent status on Amazon Connect?

I need step by step directions on how to load the CCP into a webpage and use the streams API. I would need the javascript to turn the agent from "missed" to "available" after 25 seconds.
Currently we have to manually update staus which doesn't make sense for our use case.
I saw on the Amazon Connect forum someone made mention of a way to automatically change the status of from Missed to Available.
If you're embedding the CCP and using the Streams API, you can check
the agent status on refresh, and if it's in Missed Call, set it to
Available. I have this set to happen after 10 seconds.
For an embedded CCP you can do this using Stream API. You can subscribe to the agent refresh status, and do it there.
connect.agent(function (agent) {
logInfoMsg("Subscribing to events for agent " + agent.getName());
logInfoMsg("Agent is currently in status of " + agent.getStatus().name);
agent.onRefresh(handleAgentRefresh);
}
function handleAgentRefresh(agent) {
var status = agent.getStatus().name;
logInfoEvent("[agent.onRefresh] Agent data refreshed. Agent status is " + status);
//if status == Missed Call,
// set it to Available after 25 seconds."
//For example -but maybe this is not the best approach
if (status == "Missed") { //PLEASE review if "Missed" and "Availble" are proper codes
setTimeout(function () {
agent.setState("Available", {
success: function () {
logInfoEvent(" Agent is now Available");
},
failure: function (err) {
logInfoEvent("Couldn't change Agent status to Available. Maybe already in another call?");
}
});
;
}, 25000);
}
}
If you also need to know how to embed the CCP in a website, you can just do something like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="amazon-connect-1.4.js"></script>
</head>
<!-- Add the call to init() as an onload so it will only run once the page is loaded -->
<body onload="init()">
<div id=containerDiv style="width: 400px;height: 800px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var instanceURL = "https://my-instance-domain.awsapps.com/connect/ccp-v2/";
// initialise the streams api
function init() {
// initialize the ccp
connect.core.initCCP(containerDiv, {
ccpUrl: instanceURL, // REQUIRED
loginPopup: true, // optional, defaults to `true`
region: "eu-central-1", // REQUIRED for `CHAT`, optional otherwise
softphone: { // optional
allowFramedSoftphone: true, // optional
disableRingtone: false, // optional
ringtoneUrl: "./ringtone.mp3" // optional
}
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can see the documentation for StreamsAPI here https://github.com/amazon-connect/amazon-connect-streams/blob/master/Documentation.md

How can I HTTP PUT 0 size file using XMLHttpRequest in javascript?

We are developing a javascript library for accessing webdav server. And find difficulties in developing upload functionality. We think we should use HTTP PUT for uploading and developed our upload codes using HTTP PUT. It was OK to upload files using http put to a webdav server.
But when we try to upload empty content using HTTP PUT, server replies 411 ( Length required ). We set content-length header but server still replies 411. We don't know why.
Is it right to develop webdav upload functionality using HTTP PUT?
If it is so, how can we develop to create 0 size file using webdav?
The following is our test codes.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Upload Testing</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ready() {
alert('ready');
doPUT('http://hqz.witkitty.com/soliton.co.jp/modc/emptyfile.txt', '', function () {
alert('success');
}, function (e) {
alert('error ' + e.status);
});
}
function doPUT(path, data, callback, errback) {
alert("going to upload");
var request = createXMLHttpRequest();
request.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
if (request.status == 201 || request.status == 204) {
if (callback) callback(request);
} else {
if (errback) errback(request);
}
}
}
request.open('PUT', path, true);
request.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/pdf');
request.setRequestHeader('Content-length', 0);
request.send(data);
}
function createXMLHttpRequest() {
return window.XMLHttpRequest ? new XMLHttpRequest() : new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="ready()" value='Test Uploading'/>
</body>
</html>
That sounds like a bug, either in the user agent or in the server.
a) Does this happen with all user agents?
b) Can you capture an HTTP trace and check whether the Content-Length header field is present?

What would unhook my View and Controller from each other in Chrome and IE but not in Firefox?

I have previously successfully tested this MVC functionality in my app in Chrome but have recenlty also tested in IE (10) and Firefox.
When I mash the submit button on a page which sends model values to its controller for running a query and generating a report, it now works only in Firefox (each of the three browser indeed have their own peculiar characteristics -- where they shine or "dull" in relation to their cohorts (gleaming in purple and gold) -- but Chrome and Firefox seem to have lost the connection between the submit button's click handler and the corresponding Controller's method.
The app seems to simply hang after mashing the submit button in Chrome and IE; the breakpoints I have -- the first of which is at the very beginning of the corresponding [HttpPost] ActionResult in the Controller class -- are not reached. In fact, the app seems to freeze after mashing the button -- right-clicking the submit button after that does not give me an "inspect that element" in the context menu.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ReceiptCriteria(SalesReceiptCriteriaModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid) // <-- there is a breakpoint here; only Firefox reaches it
{
. . .
In Firefox, it runs, and the breakpoints are hit.
What could possibly cause Chrome and IE to fail in this way, wheras Firefox soldiers on?
UPDATE
In response to Moby's request, here is the jQuery for the View in question:
The HTML in the View is pretty generic; the jQuery is:
$("#submit_button").click(function() {
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18192288/how-can-i-compare-date-time-values-using-the-jqueryui-datepicker-and-html5-time
var begD = $.datepicker.parseDate('mm/dd/yy', $('#BeginDate').val());
var endD = $.datepicker.parseDate('mm/dd/yy', $('#EndDate').val());
if (begD > endD) {
alert('Begin date must be before End date');
$('#BeginDate').focus();
return false;
}
else if (begD.toString() == endD.toString()) {
var dteString = begD.getFullYear() + "/" + (begD.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + begD.getDate();
var begT = new Date(dteString + " " + $('#BeginTime').val());
var endT = new Date(dteString + " " + $('#EndTime').val());
if (begT > endT) {
alert('Begin date must be before End date');
$('#BeginTime').focus();
return false;
}
}
$("#NumberOfResults").css("visibility", "visible");
$("#NumberOfResults").html("Please wait...");
EnableButton("submit_button", false);
// If all are selected, don't enumerate them; just set it at "All" (change of case, from 'all' to 'All', shows that the logic did execute)
var deptsList = $('#depts').checkedBoxes();
if (deptsList.length < deptsArray.length) {
$('#deptHeader span').html(deptsList.join(", "));
}
else if (deptsList.length == deptsArray.length) {
$('#deptHeader span').html("All");
}
// " "
var sitesList = $('#sites').checkedBoxes();
$('#sitesHeader span').html(sitesList.join(", "));
if (sitesList.length < sitesArray.length) {
$('#sitesHeader span').html(sitesList.join(", "));
}
else if (sitesList.length == sitesArray.length) {
$('#sitesHeader span').html("All");
}
$('#hiddenDepts').val(deptsList);
$('#hiddenSites').val(sitesList);
var UPCs = $('#UPC').val();
if (UPCs == "All") {
$('#UPC').val("1"); // take everything (1 and greater)
}
var resultsText = jQuery.trim($("#spanNumberOfResults").text());
if (resultsText != "") {
$("#NumberOfResults").css("visibility", "visible");
if (resultsText == "0") {
$("#NumberOfResults").css("color", "red");
} else {
var href = '/#ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ThisApp"]/TLDCriteria/LoadReport';
var report_parms = {
GUID: "#Model.GUID",
SerialNumber: "#Model.SerialNumber",
ReportName: "#Model.ReportName"
};
window.open(href, "report_window", "resizable=1, width=850, left=" + (screen.width / 2 - 425));
}
}
}); // end of submit button click
function EnableButton(id, enable) {
if (enable) {
$("#" + id).removeAttr("disabled")
.removeClass("bottomButtonDisabled")
.removeClass("bottomButtonEnabled")
.addClass("bottomButtonEnabled");
} else {
$("#" + id).attr("disabled", "true")
.removeClass("bottomButtonDisabled")
.removeClass("bottomButtonEnabled")
.addClass("bottomButtonDisabled");
}
}
UPDATE 2
Something else which may or may not shed some light on this problem is my .js and .css references:

UPDATE 3
The Network tab in the Chrome Developer Tools looks like the middle of Wyoming (a whole lot of nothing), with a msg about the bottom informing me "No requests captured. Reload the page to see detailed information on the network activity."
When I dutifully mashed F5, it showed all the .js and .css files accessed, and finally (at the top), the page I'm gawking at. Mashing the "View Report" causes no more activity in the tab, though. I do see the console.log() msg I placed at the end of the submit button click handler, though, to wit: "made it to the end of submit button click"
There is one err msg in the console, too, but this:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) http://localhost/%3C%=%20System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[%22ThisApp%22]%20%%3E/Content/Images/SSCSsprite.png
Would simply fail to load the resource, not wreak other mayhem, right?
UPDATE 4
Based on Simon Halsey's hint, I found that, on stepping though the jQuery in Chrome, it fails this test:
if (resultsText != "") {
...obviously it's not in Firefox, and I assume that it also fails in IE (I'll czech to be sure in both cases, and update this).
Later: It's "" in Firefox, too...and the first time through, it also failed-wouldn't continue on. Second time through, it got through, though...???
There is two options:
There is no request due to javascript error
Your request signature doesnt math controller method
A.
Browsers have different behaivior with some javascript functions. Thats one of the reasons why jQuery is so popular.
The most efficient way to find it is to debug javascript line by line in each browser.
Likely it is the reason.
B.
Also your javascript is quite exotic for me. I guess you are catching sumbit button click and modifying inputs values on a fly.
I would recommend to use $.post or $.ajax and preventDefault instead.
It would make your javascript more clear and simple.
C.
To analyze what requests are sent from your browser I would recommend to use fiddler.

Phonegap and jquery mobile : a href -> Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

Im trying to use jquery mobile with phonegap, in a multi-page document.
Tring to use basic href links within the document, gives the Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin error which is quite annoying.
This is because the index page is refered to via file:// rather than http:// which webkit interprets as origin null. Has anyone got jquery mobile and phonegap to work in a multi page environment? if so how can you do it? If you add rel=external to the href tags the links work, but of course all the transitions are lost.
Cant find any info on this specific problem on stack overflow or teh internetz.

Here's the official documentation on how to do just what you are looking for...
Hope this helps!
Leon's comment is the correct answer - you need to add rel="external" to static links.
To Test
Download mongoose http server
copy mongoose_xxxxxxx.exe file to your assets/www
Now you can design your html pages for jquery mobile without Access-Control-Allow-Origin
I think you can find the solution here: http://view.jquerymobile.com/master/demos/faq/how-configure-phonegap-cordova.php
$.mobile.allowCrossDomainPages = true;
$.support.cors = true;
$.mobile.phonegapNavigationEnabled = true
Although I have not gotten it to work, I think that here are the solution.
if you are targeting app above JELLY_BEAN(API Level 16), here is what you can add to MainActivity class.
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
super.appView.getSettings().setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs(true);
}
Which will allow null origin XHR requests.

Trouble using Titanium's webview to fire an API event

I'm trying to fire an event from an external HTML page opened inside of Titanium's webview.
app.js file...
var group, now, tab, view, window;
now = new Date();
view = Titanium.UI.createWebView({url: 'http://MYWEBSITE.com/index.htm?time=' + now.getTime()});
window = Titanium.UI.createWindow({tabBarHidden: true, navBarHidden: true});
window.add(view);
Titanium.App.addEventListener('browse', function(e) {
Ti.API.info("I received " + e.something + " from the webview.");
});
group = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();
tab = Titanium.UI.createTab({title: 'window', window: window});
group.addTab(tab);
group.open(tab);
js excerpt from web page...
$("#testButton").mousedown(function() {
alert ("I got clicked.");
Ti.App.fireEvent('browse', {something:'stuff'});
});
(I include the time in the URL to ensure the page is always fresh.)
Adding the event listener as shown above, or using view.addEventListener, compiles but ultimately doesn't work.
Using Titanium.UI.WebView.addEventListener produces an error message that the object doesn't exist.
Do I need to open the URL/webview in a different manner?
Also, since Titanium.App.fireEvent is not a recognized function, except to Titanium, how does one prevent a JavaScript error?
Thanks.

Just to warn you all - I don't think this works with remote pages anymore for security reasons. Spent ages trying fruitlessly!
You can make this work on your remote html page by including the Titanium Injection code. For sdk 1.8.3 it's the following. Now your remote html page can talk to the device.
var Ti = {_event_listeners:[],createEventListener:function(listener ){ var newListener={ listener:listener ,systemId:-1 ,index:this._event_listeners.length };this._event_listeners.push(newListener);return newListener;},getEventListenerByKey:function(key,arg){for(var i=0;i<this._event_listeners.length;i++){if(this._event_listeners[i][key]==arg){return this._event_listeners[i];}} return null;},API:TiAPI,App:{addEventListener:function(eventName,listener) {var newListener=Ti.createEventListener(listener);newListener.systemId=TiApp.addEventListener(eventName,newListener.index);return newListener.systemId;},removeEventListener:function(eventName,listener) {if(typeof listener=='number'){TiApp.removeEventListener(eventName,listener);var l=Ti.getEventListenerByKey('systemId',listener);if(l!==null){Ti._event_listeners.splice(l.index,1);}}else{l=Ti.getEventListenerByKey('listener',listener);if(l!==null){TiApp.removeEventListener(eventName,l.systemId);Ti._event_listeners.splice(l.index,1);}}},fireEvent:function(eventName,data) {TiApp.fireEvent(eventName,JSON.stringify(data));}},executeListener:function(id,data) {var listener=this.getEventListenerByKey('index',id);if(listener!==null){listener.listener.call(listener.listener,data);}}};var Titanium=Ti;
