By what manner, and how, can an HTML5 mobile app be connected to link items in MOBIONE?
Because MOBIONE cannot zoom large photos, a workaround is needed.
We have a working MOBIONE app and an HTML5 app with images.
How do we connect the two?
Client needs zoomable images linked to from within MOBIONE.
Help? Suggestion? Guidance?
It’s hard to say exactly how to proceed without much details such as is there data exchanged between the app-webapp. But let me throw out a simple idea:
Assuming you simply need to open a webapp by invoking a URL you can configure a widget, say a button, with an OnClick>GotoURL action (see properties for most clickable widgets). Configure the GotoURL action properties to open a URL in a popup window – this will only work in a native app.Notes: we did not ignore your prev questions as some of us worked on some prototypes to integrate different image galleries/viewers. There were some technical challenges and the image viewers we experimented with did not support scaling > than a specified viewport.
Also if you plan to deploy to iOS devices and need to handle large images (e.g., jpg > 3mb) I posted references to information that you should be aware about automatic downscaling. I shared a link to a technical article about a week ago on your former image zooming thread.

Thanks. We just trying to solve our image problem within the confines of MOBIONE, which is an excellent program for building apps.
We are successfully connecting a push button in MOBIONE to an HTML5 Zoomer page.
However, our problem is that we need that HTML page/scripts to be resident on the device and link to it that way.
Our operational scenario is NO-INTERNET, NO-WIFI, NO-“G” CONNECTIONS. In other words, total blackout conditions.
Appreciate the previous, and this response greatly.
PARTIAL SOLUTION!
Created a single screen with an HTML container.
Within, put an iFrame that calls the HTML page which has the image as a zoomer with a slider and spread/pinch finger controls.
It works!
Nowthen, the next challege is how to embed the image HTML page and accompanying folders and files with it.
I believe that all the HTML files can share the same code folders/files, so consolidation can be accomplished.
The goal is now to embed all that into the app so when it downloads, it takes the files/folders with it and they reside on the device.
