I am working on an app in which I've used WikitudeAR Cordova plugin, I've successfully implemented that and app is running fine on the device with no POIs. I want to add POIs in the app, what is the procedure to do that?
Thanks
You can have a look at the examples and tutorials that are inside the Wikitude SDK package that you have downloaded. Especially the tutorial series should give you a good overview on how to use the Architect API to create objects in AR. Here is another quick start guide which shows you what you need to do to create a simple AR experience.

So I have a completed React Native project for iOS but I want to put analytics in it. I tried the react-native-google-analytics package, but issues prevent it from working properly. Also, the react-native-cordova-plugin package is only working on Android, so the ability to plug in a Cordova plugin for analytics is out of the question for now. I also do not have Swift / objective C experience, so would be completely lost pluggin in GA that way. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to hook up Google Analytics (or any other analytics) for React Native for iOS? If so, please give some detailed instructions on doing so. I, and I'm sure, many others will appreciate it :)
I am the author of a Google Analytics package for React Native: https://github.com/idehub/react-native-google-analytics-bridge
Since it is a pretty simple native bridge to the official Google Analytics libraries, it should not give you any issues related to the platform. Also, it will handle a lot of the metadata automatically, like the device UUID, device model, viewport size, OS version etc.
Because of that last part, the calls can be pretty simple, like tracking a new screen view:
import { GoogleAnalyticsTracker } from 'react-native-google-analytics-bridge';
let tracker = new GoogleAnalyticsTracker('UA-12345-1');
tracker.trackScreenView('Home')
Or an event:
tracker.trackEvent('testcategory', 'testaction');
I'm the author of react-native-google-analytics -- the problem with it has been with React Native's lack of support for GIF data in XHR responses on iOS 7. I'm still trying to figure out if the problem people are experiencing is still limited to iOS 7. The bug was reported as fixed by the RN team for iOS > 7, however if that is not the case then there must be a regression. Tracking for the React Native issue is here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/1780
If you have any other questions regarding the module specifically, please don't hesitate to ask on GitHub!
I just set up mixpanel with this package:
https://github.com/davodesign84/react-native-mixpanel
And then I have something like this in my main.js file that holds all my view components:
componentWillMount: function() {
this.loadData(this.setDataState);
// not sure if this is the best way to do it, but whatever
Mixpanel.identify(DeviceInfo.getUniqueID());
Mixpanel.set("$name", DeviceInfo.getDeviceName());
Mixpanel.track("App Loaded");
}
And then in my view.js that renders a component with data, I have something like this:
componentWillMount: function() {
Mixpanel.trackWithProperties("Definition Viewed",{word:this.state.word});
}
And then I also call mixpanel when a users adds/deletes data.
After all this, I just noticed that fabric does analytics so I will probably migrate to that because I use to to manage beta testers and its awesome so it'll be nice to have everything in 1 place
So this may be helpful to people, but I found Segment - https://segment.com/ - a lot easier to get setup. Segment has integration with Google Analytics and all the other analytics packages, so it easy once the connection is made. I had to follow some tutorials on creating a native bridge using the RCT_EXPORT_MODULE technique, but once I established a connection to the client, I was able to pretty much plug in the Segment starter code. I linked specific event calls to different actions on the client side through NativeModules.AnalyticsHelper.openApp(clientId), NativeModules.AnalyticsHelper.shareContent(clientId), etc.. I think this is a good method to follow.
I also created a gist to show how to setup Segment Analytics for React native.
Is it possible to create an iOS library or framework using libgdx (RoboVM) that can be imported into Xcode?
Background:
One of my colleagues has created a 3D visualisation app as a libgdx project for android and windows desktop. It can be compiled to run on iOS using RoboVM. However, I would like to wrap extra native user interface elements around it using Xcode. I know its possible to build the user interface programmatically via RoboVM but I would be keen to investigate if its possible to bring the existing work into Xcode. I don't need to edit the 3D visualisation component but add extra GUI elements around the 3D Vis window. I thought compiling the libgdx (RoboVM) code to a framework or library might be a solution that could be imported?!
Yes you can do it.
All you need to create a method, say initRoboVM(), This will be called by your code when you want to initialize libgdx. You'll need to pass the app path in, which you can hardcode when you're testing.
initRoboVM() will need some modifications, namely it should not call your Java app's main method, well, at least, that's what well behaving libraries should not do IMO. It should also not call rvmShutdown.
You can get further information from here
Thanks :)
I asked the RoboVM team directly. Their answer: It's not a native function, but it certainly can be done.
The complete message...
Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. This use case is not something we're going
to do now. It is possible though if you're prepared to do some
patching of RoboVM. Search the RoboVM Google Group and you should find
others who have managed to get this working.
We get this request every know and then so we will add support for
this eventually.
Regards, Niklas
The Problem
I'm attempting to build my first PhoneGap app for iOS. I am using version 3.3.x.
For whatever reason, I can't seem to get the Camera feature to work on my iPhone 5S (haven't tested any other devices).
What I've tried
I've installed the Camera Plugin
I've added the feature to the config.xml file on the platform/ios/www level.
I've tried using PhoneGap docs examples.
I've tried using other online examples.
I've tried buying the PhoneGap 3 book and going step-by-step through their method.
None of that seems to matter
What works
I've used a <input type="file" accept="image/*;capture=camera">, this works, but it's not really what I'm looking for. I'm trying to actually access the Camera API.
Geolocation plugin I've tried and it works fine.
Accessing external API's I have gotten to work.
What also doesn't work
Contacts Plugin also doesn't seem to be working with the examples on the PhoneGap Docs.
Possible Clues
I am running / building the app from within Xcode. I've also tried building using the Command-Line Tool but I'm not sure how to run it on my iPhone once it's been built through CLT. I don't know if this matters or not.
There seems to be a "lag" in launch time when I include any scripts associated with the Camera API.
Since I've used so many different code snippets from verified sources, I doubt it has to do with the js, html or css that I'm writing. I believe this to be a dependency issue, but I have no idea what it could be, and there's not much help out there for PhoneGap yet.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I don't know i've tried hell lota tutorials and samples but when i do testing on my DAB it does not work, while the same code of sample works on the same device, i'm feed up what to do? Can you suggest me good tutorial teaching how to that from scratch or can you provide me with the simplest sample? Please i really need help ;_;
Can you tell me exactly what you're trying to do?
We have a sample app which should outline absolutely everything needed in order to integrate BBM into your WebWorks app.
It looks like the feature includes and access permissions are fine in your config.xml from what I can see here.
Check out the sample app: https://github.com/blackberry/BB10-WebWorks-Samples/tree/master/bbm
i'm trying to create an app which uses the combination of native functionality and the phoneGap framework. The native app has a button, upon the click of which the phoneGap ui has to be added to the view. Is there any way to achieve this? Are there any tutorials for the same?
Yes, this is possible. Although you might be getting yourself into some headaches. My app kind of goes the other way around, it's mostly phonegap, but occasionally i'll pop open a view that is native. Here is the link to code that shows an excellent example of how to switch between the iOS and phonegap worlds.
new updated recommended article (see update below)
These files represent a standard plugin used in phonegap. In this particular plugin, a native view is opened on top of a phonegap view. Notice you have a custom xib and everything. This plugin can be modified to display any xib with any functionality you could think of.
If you implement this plugin you will easily see how to jump back and forth. I've successfully heavily modified these classes to add LOTS of native capabilities to my phonegap project. Also you should probably check out the official phonegap guide to phonegap plugins. Here
Important Edit
Was informed original linkwas broken (not terribly surprised as this answer is very old and i've long since moved away from Phonegap) so I replaced the original link with an article that shows how to do these plugins well. In the article it explains the link is broken and gives several links where these older files are maintained, but in fact those are broken as well. Here is a branch of one of them I found that still hosts the original files on an "archive" branch. But I haven't investigated whether these files are wildly different from my original work. Good luck!
That's not how Phonegap is meant to be used.
To achieve what you are asking for you just need to create a Phonegap app and add the extra native functionality by writing a Phonegap plugin in Objective-C. You may add as much native code as you want.
I'm actually wanting to do the same thing as the original poster. Theoretically it would be comparatively easy, but non-trival to do. I'd love it if there was a PhoneGapView that one could integrate into an existing project. Bonus points if said PhoneGapView could be integrated in Interface Builder as a re-sizeable and re-positional object, basically think of it as an Object that extends UIWebView.
This is wishful thinking on my part seeing as this is how the higher-ups want my project.
