Using smartphone/PDA web browser

pixerp

With version 3., it was possible to use AW apps from the iphone web browser.

Now it no longer works with version 4. Seems like logonAdmin.html won't load....

Is anyone using a smartphone/PDA to access AW V.4 apps ?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Does iPhone support Javascript? If so, are there any limitations on the DOM model?

After upgrading my iphone 2G-V1.1.4 to V3.0.1, the safari browser displays AW apps correctly.

But, I noticed that the auto-scroll (hor./vert.) is currrently not supported. So it means configuring a VP with objects sized to the screen capability.

Has anyone tested windows/symbian based devices ??

pixerp,

If you have any tips on sizing, can you share them here for future reference?

I too would appreciate any tips on sizing. With iPhone, displaying windows within the main frame seems problematical. As soon as you zoom in or out, you lose control of the window sizes, scroll bars etc. I'm about to do some test apps but if anyone has any experience already I'd love to hear any tips & Tricks

Rocketman - How did your tests go? Is there any progress you could report back on for interests sakes?

Thanks

Nothing has worked so far. Given up testing for the time being. Am off to try an iPad next week. Maybe iPhone 4 will be better?

Test one. Menu on topbar, removed all other areas except Main. called up "Search Objects" from standard menu. Lost areas of the search window top and left

Test 2. Put menu in left frame and remove all other areas except Main. Ditto above but also lost the left frame with the menu in

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Chrome and Safari both need EVERYTHING to have a definite SIZE (x and Y) but I really don't have time to play around with this one at the moment

Just tried with my iPad which shows a blank screen after logon, the iPhone 4 shows some data but it's cut off from the side.

Will databases created with AwareIM be able to be accessed on the Apple iOS platforms in the near future.

Had some success with a iPad but unfortunately no scroll bars appeared. Talking to an Apple Certified developer - he informs me there is a known (documented) issue with Safari in that everything does indeed need to have a definite size otherwise when you try the pinch and enlarge - it doesn't know the baseline data from which to work out the zoom. Kinda make sense.

I wonder whether there is anything within the construction of the Aware status lines that's causing a hiccup? On the occasions when I've gotten a page up and tried to zoom, I,ve ended up with a banner, a tiny main section with maybe half a form or list and the status bar (iPhone 3G) whereas the status bar should have disappeared leaving a form or list to read.

But is it losing me sleep or money? er no. Still a low priority

I recently got an iPad and have been doing a bit of playing around....don't know if it would be of any use to anyone but thought i would post my findings....

Generally i am able to use my awareIm app quite easily and it displays quite well, some of it i really like such as the iPad uses its dictionary when entering data, and its easy to move from one attribute to another using the 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons on the iPad keypad. But there are a few annoying problems though.

I have been able to zoom in and out by being gentle. Placing my pinched finger and thumb gently against the screen and slowly seperating them and then gently lifting them off when the screen is steady. Once i am zoomed in, i can then gently drag the screen around to where i want. It does however quite randomly just drop out and im left with a pale blue screen. When this happens i just have to double tap the screen and my perspective reappears at normal zoom...for me to start again!

I am able to scroll lists on forms and also scroll up and down my VP. To do this i pinch my finger and thumb and place it against the screen wait a couple of seconds before moving up and down. Took a bit of practice to get right.

I am unable to upload documents from my iPad into my BS - the 'Choose File' button is greyed out as the iPad seemingly dosent alow any files to be taken from it. I can't open documents to view them on the ipad either as the iPad dosen't allow file downloads.

Eveything seems to load a bit slower aswel, compared with my PC on the same wifi connection. I havent yet tried it on the 3G connection but will post again if i do, i cant say that im expecting it to be quick in the slightest!

My conclusion is that i might use it to access my BS whilst out and about but only if i really need to!!
