I have been reading and trying the application given by IBM from this link IBMRssReader
But I can't refresh the feed inside the simulator even though my MDS is turned on. Anyone having the same problems?
Or if any of you happened to find a reference of another RSS Reader code, it will be very helpful.
EDITED
From the Debug information I assume that the app managed to retrieve the feeds from the particular website, but can't display it to the screen. I am still wondering why. Is there any other way to parse XML feed instead of SAX parser?
Thanks,
Hi this is common issue just open your IBMRssComms.java class
and change this singe line
httpConnection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(theFeed.getUrl());
to
httpConnection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(theFeed.getUrl()+";interface=wifi");
means this is connection extension issue. why the author didi not add this i dont know bot as per my knowledge you need to connection extension.
note: ;inteface=wifi is only work for when devise using wifi. If you want to make globalized then please check following link for connection extensions

First of all: I know about the security concerns regarding ftp, so please no discussion about this here - ftp has to be used.
My app has to log into a server with ftp (with username/password), search for and download a file, delete it from the server, then upload an edited version.
I've been searching for tutorials on how to even get a connection to a server via ftp but all I found were Apple's documentation from 2012 here and their documentation about the different functions here (and a bunch of weird "Swift FTP" biking videos on youtube...). Every other example I found (usually <2015) uses some additional framework or library but there don't seem to be any proper tutorial for Swift 5 or even Swift 4.
Is it even still possible to use FTP with Swift 5 (is it still supported?) and if so, how? Or is there simply no point trying to get any of Apple's stuff to work and better to just use an extra framework like FileProvider?
At first I was using FileProvider, unfortunately the library is pretty buggy currently, with functions being called twice (which you can kind of prevent by using a "firstTimeCalled" bool check) and if the server's slow(-ish), you also might not get e.g. the full list of files in a directory because FileProvider stops receiving answers before the server's actually done.
I haven't found any other FTP libraries for Swift that work (and are still supported), so now I'm using BlueSocket (which is able to open sockets, send commands to the server and receive commands from it) and built my own small library that can send/receive,... files (using the FTP codes) around it.
I'm trying to create a webview with the capability to block/redirect certain urls requested inside the webview (not just the page url, but also the requests sent from the page, think of it as what a browser extension is able to do).
After some research, the closest I get was this Swift/Obj-c approach of use NSUrlProtocol: https://www.raywenderlich.com/2292-using-nsurlprotocol-with-swift, and the doc of the native-webview-ext mentioned something about WKURLSchemeHandler https://github.com/Notalib/nativescript-webview-ext .
I'm new to mobile development and this feature is crucial for my project. I wonder if anyone has experience building this out in NativeScript, I hope I don't have to convince my team and my boss to write this in Swift instead :(.
As you see in the webview-ext plugin docs, it does support overriding resource urls. Refer the registerLocalResource method.
Just in case, even if that is not supported you don't have to write your whole project in Swift as you can always access all native apis from JavaScript / TypeScript itself, read more about it here.
I am using Parse SDK as a backend and when application loading data from server i see label "Loading". But my app using another language and i wanna translate it. How can i fix it?
Image here
I am tried to change simulator language and and changing value of Localization native development region key in plist.
Anyone had this problem? I think there is very simple answer, but i cannot find it. :)
Thank you for help!
So after a long search, i discovered that you should create a file named "ParseUI.strings" in order to change UI elements like "Loading.." as you mentioned. You can see the file in the image below. You should use at least ParseUI framework 1.1.6 for this method.
After you create a file and named it as "ParseUI.strings" you can change UI elements which parse provides us. You can see which strings are editable here.
In your example you want to change "Loading..." string, so all you have to do is enter the code in your ParseUI.strings file.
"Loading..." = "Whatever thing you want to say...";
Thats it, it worked for me.
Till now i was using SDK 5.0 and was able to dispaly local html text using net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.BrowserField but now my requirement has changed and have to use SDK 4.6. The problem is that now i'm getting compiler error for the BrowserField. Can anyone help me in displaying HTML text in SDK 4.6
As there is no BrowserField class supported in earlier versions of RIM SDK, you can launch local browser session for a html file, embedded in your cod-application.
Let say your application cod name is mymodule.cod
And you have attached a document.html file to your project, and this file is located in your source code folder, not outside.
You can launch browser session via this code:
BrowserSession session = Browser.getDefaultSession();
session.displayPage("cod://mymodule/document.html" );
Note, that module name is case sensitive.
And note that it is not documented way to access local html files.
If you are going to test this in simulator, make sure that MDS simulator is launched and is working.
It is still possible to display local HTML content with the APIs available for earlier BlackBerry OS versions. It is just a bit more complicated to make it work. Doing this involves the older BrowserField API (as opposed to the newer BrowserField2 API you've already discovered). I think the SDK includes a "BrowserField" example app that partially demonstrates this. It involves using the RenderingSession class to retrieve a BrowserContent object, which has a method to return a UI Field that you can actually show within your screen.
The trick is that RenderingSession expects you to supply it with an HttpConnection (or InputConnection) that it can read the data from. Since these are interfaces, you just have to implement them in such a way they they return your own HTML data instead of wrapping an actual HTTP connection.
It may be a little specific to the context of my own application, but here is an example of a class I wrote that wraps this API for local HTML content display: BrowserFieldRenderer
For a project we need to download and save pdf files on an IPAD device for offline use through an AIR for iOs application.
After a lot of searching I haven't found much information on this subject. My question is, can it be done, and if so, can you provide us with some pointers to lead us in the right direction.
Thanks for your time!
Sure, first you check if you can access the web - can use a class like air.net.URLMonitor, if you can you can set up a URLStream instance.
You get data while its downloading the file using the progress event, write that out to a File instance using the FileStream class.
To display the PDF file you can use a StageWebView or HTMLLoader.
