This error disappears only when I remove the jquery mobile stuff...
Thanks in advance.
I would avoid JQuery Mobile in PhoneGap applications. I got to meet Andrew Trice, Adobe PhoneGap Evangelist, at a DC Droid Meet and listened to him present in a few Webinars. I've heard him say more than once that JQuery Mobile has huge performance issues. He recommended using other frameworks if possible. There are many other frameworks out there with good design, widgets, and samples that make them easy to learn. I think he even created his own called AppUI. Just look around and you'll find some really cool ones.
That error is definitely what it says: your cordova.js file is not being included correctly. Fix that first.
To answer your larger question: Angular, jQuery Mobile, and PhoneGap will play together but it comes with some big caveats.
The biggest issue is that the jQuery Angular Mobile adapter is currently abandoned while they invest time in building a better solution: angular-jqm. That means that the adapter only works with outdated versions of the libraries.
Second: those outdated library versions have some issues working with Windows Phone. These are fixable, too, but lock you into an even less maintainable version of them.
So here is the setup:
<script src="javascripts/vendor/jquery-mobile-1.3.1.js"></script>
<!-- this angular-1.0.6 includes a patch to support WP8 URLs: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/2303 -->
<script src="javascripts/vendor/angular-1.0.6.js"></script>
<script src="javascripts/vendor/jquery-angular-mobile-adapter-1.3.2.js"></script>
Unfortunately I was never able to get partials to load via XHR so I included all pages in index.html document.
<body ng-controller="AppController">
<div data-role="page" id="first" ng-controller="FirstController">
<h1>First Page</h1>
<p>{{foo}}</p>
<p>Second Page</p>
</div>
<div data-role="page" id="second" ng-controller="SecondController">
<h2>Second Page</h2>
</div>
</body>
Then you need to switch off a few niceties in the JavaScript and set up your routes:
<script>
var so_example = angular.module('so_example', []).
config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider, $compileProvider) {
// turn off html5 mode so that we just navigate around using hashes
$locationProvider.html5Mode(false).hashPrefix("");
// allow for the odd URLs included in Windows Mobile PhoneGap
$compileProvider.urlSanitizationWhitelist(/^\s*(https?|ftp|mailto|file|tel|x-wmapp0):/);
$routeProvider.
when('/second', {
templateUrl: '#second',
jqmOptions: { transition: 'slide' }
}).
when('/', {
templateUrl: "#first"
});
}).
controller("FirstController", function ($scope) {
$scope.foo = "Hello, World!";
}).
controller("SecondController", function ($scope) {
});
</script>
Now you need to leverage the Cordova library before you bootstrap Angular to your HTML:
var app = (function () {
function onDeviceReady() {
angular.bootstrap(document, ['so_example']);
$.mobile.phonegapNavigationEnabled = true;
}
return {
initialize: function() {
document.addEventListener('deviceready', onDeviceReady, false);
}
};
})();
app.initialize();
Related
until now I was not using this index.js that Phonegap recommends :
var app = {
// Application Constructor
initialize: function() {
this.bindEvents();
},
// Bind Event Listeners
//
// Bind any events that are required on startup. Common events are:
// 'load', 'deviceready', 'offline', and 'online'.
bindEvents: function() {
document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false);
},
// deviceready Event Handler
//
// The scope of 'this' is the event. In order to call the 'receivedEvent'
// function, we must explicity call 'app.receivedEvent(...);'
onDeviceReady: function() {
app.receivedEvent('deviceready');
},
// Update DOM on a Received Event
receivedEvent: function(id) {
var parentElement = document.getElementById(id);
var listeningElement = parentElement.querySelector('.listening');
var receivedElement = parentElement.querySelector('.received');
listeningElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:none;');
receivedElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:block;');
console.log('Received Event: ' + id);
}
};
Where should I put my own js functions and events (all my js file), into this, out of this, in another file ?
Where should I call those js files and where should I call the app.initialize, in relation to the position of the calls to the js files ?
Here's my html :

For now I am compiling using the remote service : $ phonegap remote run android
It would be really useful to have a default template of an app using Phonegap + JQM, for beginners like me ;-)
That index.js is included as an example, you don't really need to use it. It is basically showing you how to work with ondeviceready. You need to use ondeviceready when you work with plugins, since most of their calls will only be available after ondeviceready has been fired. So you hook up your calls to plugins on a listener to ondeviceready. I am doing it like this for instance:
<script type="text/javascript">
function onLoad() {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", MYAPP.events.onDeviceReady, false);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad();">
And inside MYAPP.events.onDeviceReady I do the calls to geolocation, camera, or whatever plugin I'm working with.
BTW, two important things to notice in you example: You need to include cordova.js before you can access ondeviceready or work with any plugin, plus you are including index.js twice. Perhaps you duplicated the <script src="js/index.js"></script> to edit it and include js/cordova.js and forgot to change the name/path?
Apart from that, what I do is separating the app's JS and the external libs in two separate directories for better organisation, like "lib" and "js", so you would include "js/functions.js" and "lib/jquery.js".
I include both the libs and custom JS files at the bottom of the body tag for a slight better performance: Where should I put <script> tags in HTML markup?
And I name the files under "js" (custom JS files for the app) according to their purpose/content, like: events.js, models.js, settings.js, util.js, ... You can see in the snippet above that I have "namespaced" my custom JS objects under the capitalised name of the app, so everything in util.js will be called like: MYAPP.util.formatDate().
I am trying to build a small mobile app with JQuery Mobile and EmberJS.
This is actually a Rhodes Application (Rhomobile).
This is my Layout.erb:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Todo</title>
<!-- Ember Libraries -->
<script src="/public/js/libs/handlebars-1.0.0.js"></script>
<script src="/public/js/libs/ember.js"></script>
<script src="/public/js/libs/ember-data.js"></script>
<!-- Ember Application -->
<script src="/public/js/application.js"></script>
<script src="/public/js/router.js"></script>
<script src="/public/js/models/todo.js"></script>
<script src="/public/js/controllers/todos_controller.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
$.mobile.loadingMessage = false;
$.mobile.loadingMessageDelay = 300; // in ms
$.mobile.defaultPageTransition = 'none';
$.mobile.defaultDialogTransition = 'none';
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
$.mobile.pushStateEnabled = false;
$.mobile.loadingMessageDelay = 50; // in ms
});
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/public/jqmobile/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/public/css/jqmobile-patch.css">
<script src="/public/jqmobile/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="/public/js/jqmobile-patch.js"></script>
</head>
<body data-platform="<%= Rho::System.getProperty('platform') %>">
<%= #content %>
</body>
</html>
As you can see I have disabled Ajax and PushState and stuff. This is my index.erb:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="todos">
<div data-role="page">
//My Template
</div>
</script>
Now when I try it, I just get a blank grey page. But no error in console or in Ember-Console (extension of Chrome). It even detects my views and controllers properly.
Then I try commenting the JqueryMobile CSS files and what I get is a page's height worth of blank space with "Loading" message and then I see my application below and it works fine. And if I remove JqueryMobile JS, I get the stuff but its not styled.
What is the problem?
It's kind of hard to say without seeing some more code of your app. If you only have the one template defined ('todos') it may be the case that Ember doesn't know how to kickstart the rendering of your app. You may need to define an 'application' template. It might be as simple as:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="application">
{{outlet}}
</script>
I am having trouble with using OpenLayers in Gmaps4Rails (Gem version 1.5.2.) When I click on a marker I would like to show the typical callout (Infobox). Unfortunately I get the following JavaScript error:
this.serviceObject is undefined
Firebug calls the line 195 of the file "gmaps4rails.openlayers.js" responsable:
return this.serviceObject.addPopup(popup);
If I use Google Maps as API provider instead, everything works fine. Showing and hiding the infobox works nicely. This is why I assume that the error must be somewhere in "gmaps4rails.openlayers.js"
I tried on the latest FF and Chrome on Mac.
For reproducing the error in a reduced example, I created a simple HTML page in the public folder of my Rails 3.2 app and directly linked the needed JS and CSS files. To create the HTML page I copied the HTML code of my broken Rails app and reduced it.

};
Gmaps.oldOnload = window.onload;
window.onload = function() {
Gmaps.triggerOldOnload();
Gmaps.loadMaps();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
Unfortunately I could not find a working example of a successful Gmap4Rails–Openlayers integration on the web. Am I missing a mandatory parameter?
Thanks in advance.
It's a bug.
Replace:
return this.serviceObject.addPopup(popup);
with:
return this.map.addPopup(popup);
I'll push a fix soon, thanks and +1
I'm struggling to integrate Cordova(=Phonegap) with Ember.js, and jQuery Mobile. Ember.js + jQuery Mobile works fine, as loading index.html in any desktop browser successfully loads the app.
Using xCode 4 and the iPhone 5.1 simulator, it doesn't show any content within handlebar tags. Which means Ember.js fails to load.

Found the problem. XCode was reporting:
ERROR whitelist rejection: url='http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css'
Following this, I added *.jquery.com to the ExternalHosts array, within Cordova.plist.
I have a phone gap application with jquery mobile and I can get external links to work and single page navigation working but I cannot open another file in my application. All the files are located in the www folder. The error message is "Failed to load webpage with error: The requested URL was not found on this server. If i comment out the jquery-1.6.4.min.js file it will work but that's not a good solution. I've tried rel="external" and several other things I've seen by googling but nothing seems to work

Make sure that you update your PhoneGap manifest. Look for PhoneGap.plist, open it and look for ExternalHosts. You need to add the urls one by one, or you can simply add "*". This will allow the use of all urls within the application. PhoneGap blocks all urls by default.
