Hi,
Iam Too new user to MobiOne, Can I Add the PDF files to be viewed Offline? or it must be on server? Im trying to develop Android Application for Conference and it Has Many PDF, I tried to Convience the Client to be on Server and the Android Device PDF Reader will read it but he insist to be Offline (Installed with the App Installer), are there any solution? Thanks in Advance
You can add the PDF to your project though the misc files section in the properties of your main screen (just select the top node on your tree and look through the properties in the window below). You should then be able to view it using phoneui.gotoURL(“filename.pdf”).
There is no need to use a path once you load it in the project. You can just reference it by name becomes it becomes an available resource within the app. Loading into the project also ensures it gets packaged with the app for deployment.
But to answer your question, I have never tried to reference by path to see if it works locally on your pc but I wouldn’t think you would want to write your code this way since the file systems and paths are different on the devices.
Thank you, but iam new in developing for smart phone , so please does Android or iOs support reading long file names for pdf or other file types ?
> long file names
What’s a long filename to you? 256, 512, 1000+ chars
Resources are referenced using file: scheme URL. Thus the question is what is the max length URL that an iOS or Android webview component can handle? I actually don’t know but I doubt you are naming your pdf files with hundreds for chars are you?
See http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html
The best thing to do is give it a try.
>Can I Specify a Path like folder
Yes you can. But you must manually create the folder and add contents to it under the project’s www/ folder. If you add pdf files as additional app resources the code generator will copy them into the root folder of the project. You must use a relative url to reference any resource in the folder; the same approach for any web app.
/www /foo <- project folder /mypdfs <- manually created this folder a.pdf <- copy pdfs here; do not add them as additional resources b.pdf
