i have downloaded the MQFlashMapsAPI here, it's an .swc file, i don't know how to get started with that exciting API in my application, can you please forward me to some useful links showing how to integrate it and how to get started in my iPhone application. Thanx in advance.
In order for Flash Builder to "see" the MapQuest Mobile Flash API .swc file, you have to add it to your build path. The Flash Builder documentation gives step-by-step instructions on how to do this. There is a section called "Use SWC files in your projects" about half way down the page.
As far as tutorials go, there is a good one here from Adobe that might be worth a look. It's a step-by-step tutorial that has to do with building a mobile Twitter application, but I think it's a good resource for getting started, and I intend to work through this tutorial as well when I have time.
MapQuest also has a sample project (.fxp) that you can download as well as an example iOS application built using the Mobile Flash API that you can get from the iTunes App Store.
Hope this helps!

I created a web application by using HTML, JS, JQuery, and some Jquery plugins. Now I want to integrate it into Zendesk. Can I use it like just copy all my files and paste it into zendesk zip file ? Or Do I have to re-code entire thing to make it work for ZenDesk ?
I checked the examples in online, they didn't mentioned anywhere about reusing the apps that already developed in Zendesk.
I am currently doing some fairly extensive Zendesk integration. If you are referring to customisation on the Agent Portal side then it will have to be a Zendesk App under strict Zendesk adopted frameworks jquery is included (http://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/apps/). If in the customer facing Help Center you can simply go into there on screen editor and paste your html, js, etc into the relevant sections see (https://support.zendesk.com/entries/22618341)
Good luck,
Tris
If you want to integrate your app to Zendesk as an Agent App, you might consider the chance of using within an iframe.
Note that the url to which the iframe is pointing to must be served as HTTPS. Otherwise, it won't work.
EDIT:
As of version 2.0 of ZAF (Zendesk Application Framework), it's easy to integrate any webpage. In v2.0, you aren't restricted to any technology or environment.
I have a web application which uses twitter api. It was working fine.But suddenly it stopped work. I started googling & came to know about that twitter upgraded their api. So I need to use the library which supports v1.1
Have anybody worked with v1.1 library please help me
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at this project on GitHub. Don't be confused by the title - it has been updated since Twitter's API update to 1.1.
The jQuery plugin on the page has been re-purposed to be a Rendering engine, i.e. it helps with rendering your feeds.
The important part, however is in the "Server-Side Examples and Setup" directory. Go there, read and follow the directions in the SETUP_INSTRUCTIONS document. When you are done, if you are using PHP, use the file in the "Plug_And_Play" directory as a start point. If you are using C#, you can use this library. It is still under development, but it is updated regularly and mimics the Twitter API's specifications as closely as possible.
P.S. I am the author of both of those projects, so if you need any help, let me know. Good luck! :)
I am beginner with PhoneGap. However I have successfully created a small PhoneGap application for ANDROID emulator. Now I want to start with something related to my project. I want to develop a web app using MVC4 for desktop/laptops and want to in turn develop a mobile application for Android/iOS using PhoneGap.But what I understood is that PhoneGap only take input pure HTML/JavaScript/CSS. My MVC4 application is having some csHTML files, some resource files etc. How can I convert these files to make them PhoneGap compliant.
I have googled a lot for this but not getting any meaningful.
Also please tell me that whether I am thinking in right direction or there is something beyond this.
One more point my MVC4 application is multilingual in nature based on the language of the browser. Does it make sense to have multilingual app on mobiles. If yes then how can I get the culture information on the mobile devices using PhoneGap.
If possible please share some live examples or code snippets.
Thanks.
I've created one Jquery mobile mvc4 web application using webapi support, which is well looking site in almost all mobile device as well. but now i want to convert this MVC application to phonegap to use mobile feature supports like camera,accelerometer,sound etc..
What is the best way to start converting it to phonegap, will i need to create SOAP based web-Service for webapi code. I've searched on web regarding that but not getting enough help,support.
am i going right way ? or need something else ?
any help is appreciable.
Okay so in order to convert it first you are going to have to know Objective-C because that is the only language that is allowed on the iPhone but assuming you know that here are the steps you can take in making a conversion like that.
*Make sure that any outside information the application retrieves is either a) In a REST api you can use the new WebApi in fact I am using it right now and it works like a charm. Or b) Any script src= tags are converted to local files on disk. So if you had script src="My awesome css" make that file a local file on the phone.
*Next take any views and decide where all of their API calling code is. Make not of that and then get ready to be moving that code.
*Once that is all recorded startup a phonegap project and get rid of any extra .index files or anything you don't need.
*Create your applications PhoneGap plugin. Have the OBjective-C plugin make any API calls that you will be needing and then make the javascript plugin match the objective-C function.
*Where you had any calls in your previous views, make those now call the cordova (PhoneGap) plugin.
This is a very brief roadmap to get started.
Once the tediousness is over it is worth it though. I moved my IOS application to Android and they transfer pretty easy.
Cheers
I'm looking into using PhoneGap for an iOS app so that I can utilize the camera API. The plan is to use Rails to manage the entire experience. At this point, I'm not particularly concerned about performance. If it wasn't for the need for the camera, I would simply design it as a true web app.
Most of the answers and tutorials I have found suggest using ajax to the backend server to render the frontend. At this point in the app development, I'm not sure I want to build so much of the view in JS and would prefer to use Rails to render the views. I have seen a few very brief references to use PhoneGap as a container to literally render the Rails app. Performance aside, is this possible and how would I set up the core html file in PhoneGap to let the mobile app run normally?
I do not believe such a container exists to run on the client side but it is possible to dynamically serve a PhoneGap app (i.e. the app acts as a web browser with native functionality available via javascript commands).
Here is code which demonstrate exactly what you are describing.
Here is a screen cast I did associated with demo.
NOTE: The demo is using an out 3.2.1, and is broken as of the latest version Xcode and/or PhoneGap but it is possible, and apps of this nature are valid in the the various app stores, (Linkedin alongwith many others are already doing it.) The logic is there I just haven't had the time to fix the bug with the new version of Xcode, or update the PhoneGap code (doing the update may actually fix the bug in one quick work session).
Maybe you can also check my example app that is exported to Phoengap. It doesn't use camera but it is possible to combine native parts with Phonegap.
https://github.com/joscas/base_app/tree/devel (currently in the devel branch for the exportable version)
Life deploy: https://starter-app-staging.herokuapp.com (the desktop version)
It is based on rails / ember.js plus with token authentication (ember-auth) + OAuth (Google, LinkedIn,..) and Devise.
It uses the (phonegap-rails) gem I've created to export assets, fix paths etc.
