all ajax calls are allowed in Cobalt.

We should be able to specify our own whitelist.

On iOS, if you set a simple web page with a simple content, a body height of 100% and a dark background, the webview is not entirely shown and you can scroll down to reveal the missing part.

not sure if it is related to a minimal webview height, a css bug or related to the Cobalt library.

It's could be awesome to launch a cobalt view with arguments, like intents with Extra options on Android.

I think it can be done. You are experts, alright?

When sending an Emoji from native side to the web, the string encoding of the JSON is crashing.
Because Emoji are not in the scope of UTF8 and the ios isValidJSON method is not warning about any problem.

enhance sample list with screenshotw and co

I think we should enhance InfiniteScroll to work the same as the pullToRefresh

Cobalt webview should show a native small view at the bottom of the page with the native loader icon spinning. When event is released with its callback, this native small view should disapear.

For the moment, the event system works but it is the web side role to show the spinning stuff and hide it

The actual systems allow the user to customise the loader, set a button instead. We must try not to loose this flexibility.

what do you think?

Write a page like 'Where to start with my cobalt project' and add it at the end of the get started tutorials

there is nothing in your repo dudes !

:P

As Cobalt is represented by "Co" in mendeleiev's classification, maybe we shoud use it like this ?

Current Modals are not perfect, especially on Android.
Remove it from sources

In the iOS HelloWorld Sample, when a user starts making a pullToRefresh gesture, a space appears as soon as he starts to pull, between the top of the screen and the webview.

This is not related to the navBar, because if I comment the line containing [self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];, the bug is still here, between the navBar and the content.

This bug only appears on iphone devices, not ipads. It does not exist in the other sample, the Catalog app.

Probably a small xib bug that you may not reproduce in your projects.

On the native side, if we receive an external event like a notification or something else, we will often have to notify the currently openned and shown webview to handle this event on the web side.

It could be great if we had a way to access currently visible webview(s) from the cobalt class.

I have a crash under Android 4.4 only.

I use the HelloWorld and I add in the index.html an input type "date".
When I click in the input, I have a crash :

Create a support plugin for all pickers (mostly android) missing from the webview

When sending an url encoded string to the web like this one :

something%20uri%3A:encoded

If the web is sending it back without any change, Android receive "something uri:encoded" instead of the original string.

that's wrooong

Cocoapods for iOS would simplify a lot the way we use Cobalt in a project.

• create pod
• local test
• publish pod
• public test
• update all samples to use the new pod
• update doc, simplified version of how to add Cobalt as a lib with pods

I think that it should be really usefull to do some default events in your framework like:

-CobaltResume
-CobaltQuit

Hi,

I'm a developer for classifieds/ads posting website at http://www.pasarindo.com
I have tried unsuccessfully using appgeyser and como to convert to IOS/Android mobile app, since they are unable to access mobile camera for taking pictures.
Any step-by-step guide to convert to Cobalt and be able to use mobile camera will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Bonjour,

Est-il possible de mettre en place des notifications avec Cobalt ou faut t'il utiliser du code android ?

Merci d'avance.

Cordialement,
Geoffrey

On Android 4.4 (KitKat) or later, you can use DevTools to debug WebView content in native Android applications.

But for this, cobalt should enable it on the webview object with this kind of code :

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
      WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
  }

More about this in the Android documentation

Use Bower for distributing web sources

• create bower package for cobalt web
• Doc Web, simplified version of how to add Cobalt as a lib with Bower

Hello

What can I do ?
Tks...

if we chain push and pop calls too fast on ios and if the page transitions animations are not finished, the navigation controller can fall into an unstable state complaining like this

nested push animation can result in corrupted navigation bar
Finishing up a navigation transition in an unexpected state. Navigation Bar subview tree might get corrupted.
Unbalanced calls to begin/end appearance transitions for <FCMyViewController: 0x17dac270>.

when a webLayer has à $('#myInput').focus() on html load :

on ios 7 : keyboard might show and hide itself quickly
on Android : keyboard is not shown on some devices I think (double-check this)...

IOS8 introduce WKWebView : a webview that run javascript faster than the good old UIWebView.

We should use this !

More infos here

update doc on custom hybrid views.

Like other Pickers, make DatePicker available as a plugin.

On iOS, you can send whatever you want as your Event data. For instance, you can send a string as data

[self sendEvent:"test" withData:@"aString" andCallback:nil];

On Android, you have the choice between, JSON, and... JSON.

Bonjour,

Je viens de creer un projet avec votre framework mais lors du lancement de l'application sur un terminal ou un émulateur l'application se plante à l'ouverture.

J'ai aussi testé avec votre HelloWorld mais même résultat...

Lors de l'exécution de l'application, le LogCat me reporte les erreurs ci-dessous

Merci d'avance pour votre réponse

Hi All,
meme apres un npm update -g cobaltians j'ai toujours des erreurs lors de la creation d'une application avec cobalt

plugin section should be rewritten. it needs to be light, clear, concise and full of examples

Hi Guys!

It could be really cool to access to cobalt.storage, but from the native part to get/store config vars, etc.

It's cool be cool to develop faster to simulate cobalt event like does Ripple.

It could simulate console.log to cobalt.log, it could create pulltorefresh events, ...

Hi All,
I have a error when i want to create my app with cobalt.this is the error message :

Error { [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Debug/nodegit.node'] code: 'MODULE_
NOT_FOUND' }

to catch events in a webLayer you can use a getWebLayerFragment method to override the cobalt fragment and catch your own events

we have to document this :)

Hi guys!

I suggest to keep the Cobalt Core small, to have a compatibility Library, essentially for the web code part.

Bonjour,

J'essaie d'utiliser les fonctions de stockage que vous mettez à dispositions pour garder mes données sous forme JSON dans l'application lors de la navigation.

Mon problème est lors du test de l'existance de ses données cela me revoie null à chaque changement de page.

Mon code de test :
if(cobalt.storage.getItem('eventsDataJson', 'json') == null){
cobalt.sendEvent("getEvents");
}
else{
var eventsDataJson = cobalt.storage.getItem('eventsDataJson', 'json');
displayEvents(eventsDataJson);
}

I was wondering if we really need javascript libraries to use Cobalt.

We should be able to set a default transition animation somewhere and custom them on each push.
Web could be able to choose in a list of animations direction, timing and easing.
A hook to a custom native transition/animation could be set

Old weblayers are ugly. remove them from the cobalt source and use a normal push with a custom animation or theme (for android).
This way, weblayers will benefit from ability to push and pop with data, pubsub and so on.

• Cleanup iOS
• Cleanup Android
• Cleanup Web
• weblayer boolean in push option support for iOS
• weblayer boolean in push option support for Android
• weblayer boolean in push option support for web
• Documentation update

• cobalt.platform.name should contain "Android" or "iOS"

also add two booleans :

• cobalt.platform.isiOS
• cobalt.platform.isAndroid
• update doc on develop

AAR for Android would simplify a lot the way we use Cobalt in a project.

• create aar locally
• local tests
• publish AAR or remote repo
• public test
• update All samples to use it
• update doc, simplified version of how to add Cobalt as a lib with AAR

Hi guys!

There's is a collison beetween cobalt alerts & native alerts on iOS.

How to reproduce:

Create a native alert with a delegate on your native part.
Create a cobalt alert on your web part.

Your callback on your web part should be never called

on ios we still use the old ios6 url change technique to send message from web to the native side.

Since ios7 there is a new way to call native side.
We should adapt our lib to use this function if available

iOS 7 is adding whitespace at the top of the webviews sometimes (when?)

there is a solution described here :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18947872/ios7-added-new-whitespace-in-uiwebview-removing-uiwebview-whitespace-in-ios7

should we add this to cobalt core by default or let the user (you) fix this in your app when needed ?

Use Gulp for minifying web sources

Hello
is it possible to do Native fb login with cobalt ? if yes what would be scenario?

Bonjour,

J'essaye de mettre en place un menu du même type que celui utilisé dans l'application "CodeDArmor" (appli utilisable après l'avoir mise à jour avec la version actuelle de Cobalt) mais je ne comprends pas tout...

Ce que pense avoir compris (et encore...) :

• La page "sideMenu.html" génére le menu et le script permet d'envoyer l'événement qui permet le changement de fragment du côté natif de l'application,
• Le fragment "SideMenuFragment.java" reçoit l'événement de la page "sideMenu.html" pour mettre à jour le fragment à afficher.

Ce que je n'ai pas compris :

• Comment les pages html appellent la page "sideMenu.html",

• Dans "SideMenuFragment.java", quelle est l'utilité de la fonction getpage().

  protected String getPage() {
  return "sideMenu.html";
  }

Je suis débutant en Android et donc par conséquent aussi avec Cobalt. J'ai saisi les principes du framework avec les événements pour passer du web au natif et inversement mais je suis perdu pour la réalisation du menu...

Merci pour votre aide,

JB
