Hello All,
I am developing a front end iPad App that allows a user to open a specific website based on the IP Address that is stored within the App. I have a settings page and I am using localStorage to save the IP Address and a button on the main page that when clicked opens the website based on the stored IP Address. All working perfectly thanks to the information and examples I found here.
Now, what I need to do is have either a permanent Navigation Bar or a Permanent ‘Back’ button that will remain visible on top of the webpage after it has been opened. Same functionality as a browsers “Back” button so I can get out of the website and back to the Apps main page if the user needs to.
Or maybe the question might be better stated as “How can I open a website within an iPad application without leaving the application?” or “Can I create a browser App using MobiOne?”
I am currently using, “phoneui.showURL(link, ‘_self’);” to open the website.
Is what I am asking for even possible and if so does anybody have any sample code or examples I can work through and get this working?
Thanks in advance.
Using Mobi 2.02(Registered), Windows 7 Professional, iPad (2nd Generation), Native Application.
Hi Protius,
As you are creating a native app you could find useful the open URL in popup window feature.
>I am currently using, “phoneui.showURL(link, ‘_self’);” to open the website.
To achieve this for popup windows use: phoneui.showURL(url,’popup’)Thank you Octavio for your reply.
Without boring you with the details of why I need the “Back” button functionality, is there any way to accomplish a persistent button or nav bar showing over the website that is opened without using a separate browser window to open the website? What I really need is the equivalent of a full screen browser on the iPad with a back button to provide a seamless interface with the website I need to open from the App I am creating. I want the website to appear as an App and not a website opened with Safari or some other browser. Is there any type of equivalent in MobiOne to an iFrame? Can a website be opened in a Panel or anything similar?
I can send you more details if it would help any but I didn’t want to waste space here if it didn’t prove helpful.
Thank you for your assistance.
