This code gets the name of the device used by a user and displays it in the console. How do I use that information to display a different webpage depending on the device used? If the device is not a mobile device it doesn't display anything in the console. I only want it to go to a different page when it is a mobile device. I need this so I can show a mobile version of my website when the user is using a mobile device.
(Code is not mine got it from here: https://codewithmark.com/mobile-detect)
if (result.device.model != undefined){document.location="https://google.com";}

I am trying to develop an extension which will show some information(about 15 words) in a small section below the extensions icons in the browser using crossrider?. I searched about it and it seems that browser only supports extensions icons and bookmarks. So is it possible to add such kind of section?? Im new to browser extension development and not sure about its possibility.
The nearest you can get to this is to use a browser action/button and use the tooltip (a.k.a. title) to display the information when the mouse hovers over the button. For example, in your background.js file your code would look something like:
appAPI.ready(function($) {
appAPI.browserAction.setResourceIcon('icons/icon.jpg');
appAPI.browserAction.setTitle('Information displayed on mouse hover');
appAPI.browserAction.onClick(function() {
alert('Hello world!');
});
});
For more information, see appAPI.browserAction.

I have a strange problem with my iPad App in Phone Gap. The problem is that I have to open PDF document in my app through links and when I click the link which opens the PDF, it shows me the PDF document with no back link.
Hence, when I open the PDF document in my app through a link, it takes me to a dead end and there is no way I can go back to the main page of my app.
My question is that how can I have a Top-Bar, when I open a PDF which could take me back to my home page? Any internal element for the iPad may be?
Thanks a lot.
Try using the In App Browser plugin.
If you're using a later Phonegap / Cordova version (2.8.0, 2.9.0 etc) it should come with it - nothing else to install.
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/cordova_inappbrowser_inappbrowser.md.html#InAppBrowser
It will allow you to open the PDF in the a new 'window' that overlays your app. It has a 'Done' button that users can use to close it and return to your app when they are finished.
You would open the PDF using the In-App Browser, using something like this:
window.open('http://whitelisted-url.com/pdftoopen.pdf', '_blank');
I.e. the _blank option triggers the In-App Browser plugin. If you were to use _system instead it might open it in iBooks (just guessing there - not 100% sure if it would use iBooks).
Try prefixing https://docs.google.com/viewer?url= in the URL
like, window.open('https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.example.com/example.pdf&embedded=true', '_blank', 'location=yes');
Try this to open any kind of documents from URL using following steps:
install this plugin : cordova plugin add https://github.com/ti8m/DocumentHandler
use this code :
handleDocumentWithURL(function() { console.log('success'); }, function(error) { console.log('failure'); if (error == 53) { console.log('No app that handles this file type.'); } }, 'http://www.example.com/path/to/document.pdf');
It works for me both on Android and IOS. I used it for open images and PDF files.
Android : It opens files using system apps if available, otherwise it give an error, which you can handle.
IOS : It opens files in popup like view with Done button and Option button.
It doesn't show your docs URL.

Thanks asgeo1,
I solved it by using window.open().

Hope it helps.
I've ended up using WebIntent
as described here. The tricky part was to modify WebIntent.java to properly identify file type:
String type = obj.has("type") ? obj.getString("type") : null;
// New code starts
Uri uri = obj.has("url") ? Uri.parse(obj.getString("url")) : null;
String extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(obj.getString("url"));
if(extension != null){
MimeTypeMap mimeTypeMap = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
type = mimeTypeMap.getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension);
}
// New code ends
JSONObject extras = obj.has("extras") ? obj.getJSONObject("extras") : null;
I am looking to add a small splash screen at the launch of an app I am working on to show licence and version info along with details of some client specific info. Having set my default window dimensions etc in tiapp.xml I am now looking at how to override these on a specific user window (namely index.html).
I've had a dig through the API and thought I had found what I was looking for, but on testing it doesn't do anything to the window dimensions. I know it will be my doing (I'm a php man trying desperately to learn javascript!) but can someone have a look at my code and point out the error of my ways...
In the of my index.html I have the following code:
<script>
var Ti = Titanium;
var window = Ti.UI.currentWindow;
window.setHeight(250);
window.setWidth(500);
</script>
I'm guessing I've either messed up my javascript or TideSDK syntax??
you have used the reserved variable "window", which belongs to JavaScript and can't be overwritten.
The following code works for me:
var Ti = Titanium;
var this_window = Ti.UI.getCurrentWindow();
setTimeout(function(){
this_window.setHeight(250);
this_window.setWidth(500);
}, 3000);
If you want to learn to write good JavaScript, I can give you a couple of book recommendations.
I was using "google local" on NOKIA 6800 browser
the search result page had a link "view on map?"
Clicking on it launched Google Maps application, and map centered on the location
of the search result.
how it is done?? Javascript ?? I have seen similar behavior in Iphone
For a static map you can use:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=kerstendalseweg%2017,berg%20en%20dal,%20nederland&zoom=14&size=400x400&sensor=false
Wrapped in an anchor for use in a HTML page:
Go to Vette BSO
For starting navigation I used this (with start en destination address)
Go to Vette BSO
From google maps API docs:
You can also easily link to Google Maps for driving directions. We suggest you use the following format for driving directions on Google Maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr={start_address}&daddr={destination_address}
It depends what mobile you use.
On Android you can use either http://maps.google.com/maps? prefix or geo:lat,long? prefix in url.
Invoking Google Applications on Android Devices
On Iphone you can use comgooglemaps://? prefix:
Google Maps iOS URL Scheme
To detect mobile device type use the following java script (this one detects iPhone or iPad):
if ((userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1) || (userAgent.indexOf('iPad') != -1) )
window.location = "comgooglemaps://?saddr=london&daddr=manchester"
I developed one asp.net web site with functionality of finding route, find place
through bing map control.
My Problem is when I am opening this web site from windows mobile with internet explorer 6.
All controls are appearing but map control is not appearing why?
<script charset="UTF-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2&mkt=en-us">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function OnPageLoad()
{
var myMap = document.getElementById("myMap");
var LA = new VELatLong(41.2666452, -96.0011320,VELatLong.RelativeToGround);
myMap.style.display='';
map = new VEMap('myMap');
map.LoadMap(LA, 1, VEMapStyle.Road, false, VEMapMode.Mode2D, true, 1);
}
</script>
can any one help me?
Thanks
Knowing IE Mobile, I'd say it's something to do with your JavaScript probably.
How are you showing the map? Posting some code to your question would certainly help people narrow down the issue.
Looking at the directions service from bing.com on IE mobile, the map is a static image with the directions rendered on top - is this what you're doing? Or are you trying to call the default js map controls?
Edit to respond to update:
If you take a look at bing mobile you'll see that they aren't using the fully featured client side API, but are doing the bulk of the lifting on the server, culminating in a simple img tag being sent to the mobile browser to generate a static image request.
This sort of process is also talked about in this article on "Getting a map with the Virtual Earth Web Service", which concludes:
VEWS provides static images (on the fly), so you can insert them anywhere that support HTTP requests - mobile devices, JavaScript disabled browsers - or insert them into other documents such as PDFs.
