i am working on a web application based on media gallery.In this application i am uploading media using SWFUpload either images and videos.When i try to open my application on IOS then uploader not visible there.Where it is working fine on safari installed on windows.I want some suggestions from experts of this field.
one site who is using SWFUpload is http://www.ehproductions.com/mediaimage.htm.
Here SwfUploader working nice on windows but not on IOS machines.
Is there any javax html5 compatible uploader?
Thanks in advance.
According to the description of the SWFUpload:
SWFUpload Upload files to a server via flash and listen all the events
from JavaScript.
As all we know there is no flash on the iOS devices, and as result — uploader not visible there. But the problem is not only in the flash. iOS misses html file input, so you cannot use the same tools you use with other OS/browser. Take a look at this question - "A html5 web app for mobile safari to upload images from the Photos.app?", — for possible workarounds.

Scenario: Say end-user got a attachment in mail app in ios. And user wants to upload this file in my app.
In React native is there any good working component? I want to use it to create facility where my user can upload files( not images).
Any help would be appreciated.
As suggested by #jaineshdoshi, component hosted at www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-document-picker can be used as document picker..
ps: since ios 11 has file app, this solution might work differently on older ios version
I have a website that is using ink's filepicker javascript lib to upload photos. It works in browsers on both desktop and mobile, the difference is on iOS it will open up a separate tab and upload from there and return to parent tab once upload is done, but on desktop it just opens in a modal view.
Now I am embedding a UIWebView in an app so there is no tabs. The page where upload button is will be replaced by the filepicker uploader, and I was expecting it to preserve the state of it's parent page, but somehow it won't. I am unable to upload even though the same upload button works in the same simulator in browser. Do I have to use the filepicker iOS library for this kind of in-app upload? Are there any work-arounds? Thanks.
I have the same issue with embedding my JavaScript/Filepicker based site within my native iOS app in UIWebView.
I contacted Filepicker.io dev support and here is their statement:
"unfortunately the way it looks currently is that the limitations of UIWebView prohibits cross-window communication, because as you're seeing the state of the parent window is not saved."
So, I am going to have to use native Filepicker library as well on iOS.
My IT dept. has a web app built with java and they want to be able to access the stored images on an iPad. Is that possible?
The iOS Safari browser does not run Java. But, as of iOS 6, it does support uploading saved images with a standard HTML file upload form.
i use JSF <t:inputFileUpload> tag to upload files to my site. It works properly in a PC with all browsers but when I test it in my iPad it does not work. It shows as disabled in iOS 5. It uploads images but not text files or pdf or word or excel files in iOS 6.
Have you faced a similar situation? How can I upload documents and spreadsheets from an iPad onto my site?
This problem is not specific to JSF. It's basically just a HTML code generator. It runs on webserver and produces a bunch of HTML which get sent to the client (in your case, the iPad) and then interpreted over there. The <t:inputFileUpload> just generates a HTML <input type="file">.
That HTML element is in turn indeed disabled in Safari Mobile based browsers. JSF look like a magician, but it really can't control whatever the client decides to do with the retrieved HTML. You'd need to look for a 3rd party client side library which enables this in the Safari Mobile side.

I am developing an app for both BlackBerry and Android. On Android, when I send the browser to some url, it redirects to another url with good look. But on BlackBerry for the same url it is only displaying links on the site. It is not applying css and does not look like the Android layout.
Blackberry browser (specially in OS versions < 6) is not as good as the Android one. There are also a couple of options in the Browser Settings that you should enable for it to load JavaScript, Background Images or PC-targeted CSS files. Sadly, there seems to be no way of automatically passing this as a parameter to the browser before opening.
You're facing a platform issue, not a developer's one. Although you could, of course, create a set of CSS files intended for Blackberry visitors, taking these limits in mind and being conscious that it will not look as good as the Android one.
