I am working on webRTC iOS integration. Our Web team integrated the webrtc using RTCMultiConnection library (https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com:443/rmc3.min.js) and created the Web Application. They are setting the socket url (server url) and configuring the library objects and creating the session using the library.
Is there any equivalent library for making the connection directly from client? Or is it possible to access the .js file from swift?
Please check the RTCMultiConnection-API:
https://github.com/muaz-khan/RTCMultiConnection/blob/master/docs/ios-android.md
Above doc explains how to create a cordova-based iOS/Android application.
Everything from RTCMultiConnection-v3 is supported in cordova-apps except "Screen-Capturing". You can NOT capture your screen from any iOS/Android app.
The ONLY_Disadvantage of Cordova_based_apps is "It adds 20MB unwanted Size in the compiled iOS/Android app" .... i.e. your APK file may have 20MB minimum size.
Here is an example APK file (android-application using RTCMultiConnection v3):

I'm currently developing an app (via Intel XDK) that reads a .csv file that was created by another app (via Android Studio). The Android Studio app is mainly for capturing sensor data, whereas the Intel XDK app should display the data fancily. Since saving everything as .csv and reading it all later on is incredibly naive performance and storage-wise, I was thinking about creating a database that manages the data. Now, setting up a database for each app seems easy enough, and there are also solutions for two Android Studio apps. But how can I create and manage a database that can be used by an Android Studio as well as by an Intel XDK app?
OK, I think you want to have your Native Android Database to be accessible from another Application so your solution will be ContentProviders.
You should build a ContentProvider layer above your SQLite database in the native android application then you can easily contact the ContentProvider from any other application included PhoneGap or any cross platform one.
To learn more about ContentProviders in android check that.
To learn how to expose or use ContentProvider from CrossPlatform phonegapp applications check that.
You can use the Content Provider mechanism of Android, as described in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html.
You decide on one of the two apps to actually manage the database and play the role of content provider to the other. The other accesses the data via the interface provided by the content provider.
This works if both apps are on the same device. For cross-device synchronization of data look at Couchbase Lite, a database that offers this feature out-of-the-box.
In Visual Studio 2015 I go:
New Project -> Under Javascript/Windows -> Blank App (Universal Windows)
It then creates a new app that has an .html file, a .js, .css, etc.
I then can access system level things via an object that's exposed to javascript.
Now in order of Microsoft to have implemented this I'm guessing my app is hosted within a webview of some sort.
Now let's take Cordova (or Phonegap), I create a windows cordova app and this is a windows app that has a hosted WebView within it. (or does it? atleast that's what it does in iOS and Android).
So isn't this redundant? If my app itself can be a WebView (by making a javascript windows 10 app). Why would I want to host ANOTHER webview like cordova?
Or maybe I'm not understanding something..
Windows 10 Javascript Apps (Also known as WinJS) is a way of building native Windows apps with web based technologies. WinJS provides libraries that provide direct access to the device, underlying OS and framework.
Cordova apps are also built with web based technologies and run inside an embedded web view. Cordova provides a set of libraries for accessing details on the device but these go through another layer that is specific to the OS. While WinJS is only for Windows apps, Cordova apps can, for the most part, be easily rebuilt to run on different platforms.
I am developing App using Cordova and want to try using Azure App Service's Mobile App.
But from this official document
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-dotnet-backend-xamarin-ios-get-started-preview/
it contains iOS/Xamerin/WinApp/Android but javascript example.
My questions are:
Does the javascript version of Azure Mobile App client exist?
Is the client SDK the same with Mobile Service javascript client?
Is there tutorial of Mobile App javascript client?
thanks a lot.
Currently, the Mobile Apps service is in preview and not all features have been implemented yet.
Yes, the client SDK is the same as with Mobile Services. If you download the HTML quickstart client from your Mobile App, you'll see that the html page references the same library: MobileServices.Web-2.0.0-beta.min.js
You didn't asked for the backend but anyways...Note that a major drawback currently for JS developers is the fact the you can't create a Node backend for Mobile Apps yet.
Can I write a offline only application using HTML, CSS and Javascript ( + AngularJS) for mobile devices (for example with cordova), so the user won't need any internet connection to start and use the application. As far as I know cordova just creates a webview and I wonder now, how will the page be shown, when there is no hosting...
Imagine a simple calculator or todo app which works just offline.
Is this possible? Or do I have other ways except cordova...
The pages are hosted inside the app. The html,js,css files are packed inside the apk. When a user install the app it download the pages within the app. And webview access the pages locally. So you can make app both online and offline.
suppose the android project directory. Html pages are kept in the directory
yourprojectfolder\android\assets\www
And in the java file at the app start it just create the webview and call the index.html page. Now if you need any device function like notification / geolocation you can use them using plugin. Plugins are those that creates bridge between html and java files.
Also several databases are available for phonegap development. So you can store data locally. Go through the documentation for more and create & understand the structure.
This might be really a basic issue. I am kind of confused. I don't understand one thing. Phonegap app is pure html5 and javascript. But for this plugin (https://github.com/davejohnson/phonegap-plugin-facebook-connect/tree/master/example/HackBook) to work we need separate java code for android and xcode for ios.
I got the java version of the android tutorial working with the simulator but when I just copy the assets folder to build a pure phonegap app. it does not work.
Then it beats the purpose if i still have to maintain 2 code lines.
Does just the html and JavaScript code in this plugin is not supported by phonegap app without java or xcode.
Here is my phone gap app. you can download it. https://build.phonegap.com/apps/211586/share
My code in the git repositiry is here
https://bitbucket.org/sunmeet/phonegab2.0_fbapi
PhoneGap Build service only Supports ChildBrowser , Barcode Scanner, Google Analytics recently.
if you try to use any external plugin which needs assets other than HTML / CSS / JS, you can't use them with PhoneGap Build Service. But, PhoneGap Team are trying to push out different plugins like Facebook Connect in Future Releases.
So, here they gave two Options to Deveopers.
Use Child Browser and Do Process Facebook OAuth Authentication.
Build Locally.
Andriod developement environment is "Eclipse" IOS
developement environment is "XCode"(OS: MacOS)
I Suggest you to work with first option and once plugin is our from build service its really easy to integrate anytime.
