We are evaluating MobiOne to see if it solves our current need.
We must create a simple Mobile Web Application which must:
1. be installed downloading it from our web server
2. be launched starting from an icon on the device menu
3. ask username and password and save them locally
4. connect to an url using the username and password saved locally
5. show the content sent by the web server without resizing and without any other object or interface element (a part from those which come from the url and the status bar of the device. In other words it is (absolutely) necessary that no browser toolbar, button or address bar are visible on the screen
Regarding the first two points we have built a test application and published on our web server and it all works well.
Regarding point 3 it seems that there is a solution as suggested in your local storage demo that we have taken from the Examples, HOW-TOs section of your support forum.
So, until here it is all ok.
We begin to have problems starting from point 4: could you please suggest us how to transfer the content of two text fields to the URL parameter of the Go to URL action that we associate to a button to start the connection, so that we can have something similar to http://www.srssoftware.it/test.asp?Username=(content of username text field)&Password=(content of password text field) ?
Regarding point 5 we have noticed that setting the Open URL in parameter of the Go to URL action to New Window the app connects to the specified URL without opening a new browser window, and in this way no bar or button of the browser is shown. But if we set the Open URL in to Current window the app open a new browser window with all his bars and buttons (we heve tested this behaviour on our ipads). Is it right?
Apart from opening or not a new browser window, the app regularly connect to the URL but the content is resized: could you please tell us if there is a way to avoid this resizing made by the browser without modifing the source code of the shown page?
We thank you in advance.
