hi,
im new and have just stumbled across mobione.
i have an idea for an app and i would love to create this app myself.
the idea –
first page gives two options, you click on one and it takes you to the next page.
second page you enter a figure and click ok, now using some default figures the app does a calculation and gives and anwser. but on the anwser page it says setting where you can alter some of these default figures. there are only four figures you can alter.
is it possible to make this in mobione and where do i start.
im very keen to learn
This should be pretty easy in Mobione.
I would start with adding a few pages, adding interface controls, getting to know the program using the onClick actions, then when you get to where you need help with the javascript or advanced editing come back and ask more specific questions.
full app made, all 5 screens.
but sadly nothing actually works as i dont know what im doing š
so home page, with two options. both work if you click on each they take you to the next pages
next two pages
so the user needs to be able to enter a number in one of these two boxes. the app will turn turn the mph/kph into metres per seconds
and then do this calculation vt + vĀ²/2(d+0.1a)
the result page
it will display the anwser
user can change some of the default figures on this page and redo the calculation
if only i knew what i was doing i could do it for a living, its dead easy to create haha

ok so a friend has done the java code for me so i now have a fully working page, where i can input my figures and it does the sum and gives an anwser.
where do i go from here to turn this code (which does work in mobione) into a proper app?
Hi Andy
It depends on what devices you want to build for and whether your going for a web app or native IOS or android.
if you want to develop for Apple you will need a Apple developers licence which is $99 a year. Then you need to build your apps using mobione’s builder. You will need to sort out your provisioning profiles and developers certificate and private keys. there is info at the following links

Its not easy, Apple make it very complex. I ended up printing off the info and going through it line by line until i got it to work. Be prepared for lots of tears and tantrums.
After you have built your app you then need to submit your app to the app store using itunes connect and Apples application uploader using a Mac. You can also use appuploader.com if you don’t have access to a mac.
see here for more details http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2557
I’ve not developed a android app but apparently much simpler.
hope that helps

PaulD is right, Apple can be a real pain to deal with. Why I can understand their wanting to keep top notch products I have seen some great apps rejected and shelved. Google is a lot easier. I am focusing on web apps and Facebook apps.
many thanks i will start looking through that.
but my app isnt ready yet it needs a few more parts, if i were to send the files to someone could they advise on the last few bits?
Hi Andy
It’s a difficult process getting an app into the store no doubt. But don’t be disheartened it can be done! I had no experience at all with app development or coding css or javascript a couple of months ago. I have had my first app approved by itunes and it’s for sale as from today!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aw109-power-pilots-checklist/id603090910?ls=1&mt=8
So it can be done with mobione it just takes time and patience. I think in time the app store will become easier to develop for as Apple must have to respond to the app market moving away from propriety development tools such as x-code to open source html 5 javascript solutions.
Developers want cross application development not proprietary device specific development tools, that’s where mobione wins hands down. I do have a wry smile that Apple having destroyed Flash to protect the iTunes store are now facing an even bigger threat with javascript products.
Just my pretty much worthless opinion LOL.
Paul
thanks
im not to worried about get my app through apple a friend has done it beofre and can help.
its just getting the actual app made thats causing me issues, i know nothing about java.
although someone has just suggested i use html, does mobione accept htmp? im at work at the moment so cant check.
my app has changed and is not just 2 pages, so very very simple, but if you dotn know coding its not simple
>although someone has just suggested i use html, does mobione accept htmp? im at work at the moment so cant check.
Mobione helps you designing your UI, when you generate your app files, you’ll get a <appName>-www folder where the will be located the javascript files, css files and the main html webpage. You can also use the HTML widget to customize your UI in case you need add a special funcionality.Hope this helps you. If you specify with more details your problem, we might give you a couple of more advices.
ive got a short memory…
could someone explain as ive forgotten, if ive got a file with some java script in how do i inset it into mobione so it works/all the fields come up??
did it the other day but now cant remember
gee someone must know, i did it the other day i just cant remember how
its buggin the hell out of me
> if ive got a file with some java script in how do i inset it into mobione so it works
Assuming that the javascript file you are referring to is not the default <prj>_custom.js file that is automatically loaded by the app the do the following:
In the Visual Designer load your main/startup screen. In the outline click the top node. You will see the property named JavaScript Libraries. Click the […] button to include your javascript file into your app.
