Hi,

I have a calculator app which shows results based on the users input. I would like the user to save the result for future reference. I am ok if any one of the below method is possible.

A) Save this report as PDF or an image file.
B) Take a screenshot.
C) Email the result.

I do not have any programming knowledge. Request you for guidance.

Thanks,

Nikx

I think the only easy solution would be to email the results. You could set the result into a text box and use that inserted into the email. Simple set the Screen as a Form under the properties then use a button with (I think its) Send Email and set the textbox as a property in the email. If you need a better sample let me know and i can whip one up tonight.

Hi CincyPlanet,

Thanks a lot for your quick revert. Sorry I did not get you as I do not have technical knowledge. I am making an app with the help of HTML5 code that I have got from a web developer. It would be really great if you could program a sample so that I can use it for sending email.

Could you please let me know how the result would be emailed? I have five calculators. Would the app ask for the email address each time or would it send the email to the default email id configured on the user’s mobile (similar to share function available in mobile)?

Sincerely thank you for guidance.

They would have to input their email each time. But you could make it where each calculator saves the result to local storage, then when the user is ready they can email all the results at one time.

Are you making this for a native app or mobile web app?
Are all the calculators on one screen or different screens?

Hi,

I am making a native app by uploading the html, js and css files onto mobione software.
I have 5 buttons for 5 calculators on the home screen. The user needs to click these buttons to access the calculators. On clicking these buttons a new calculator screen is displayed.

Could you please check if any of the below plugins may work?

I can compile my app with the help of phonegap but do not know how to use these plugins.

Thanks,

Nikx

Hi nikx,

We do support plugins. We only support the plugins included with the MobiOne App Center builder which is the ChildBrowser plugin. We will be introducing additional cordova runtime support very soon (watch for ANN in the next few days).

Thanks Brandon, would also be interested in your results. My latest app also includes calculators and the send email from local store would be great.

Cheers

We will have to see what the new version supports, as of right now I dont think they would work without doing a lot of external work.

For now you could do this:

On the form you have the results add a button and set the action to Send Email
Below that you will see Email, and you can click on the … on the right hand side
Once that is open you can place the
To:
Subject:
Message:

Just above Message area you will see the Insert Var button.
Click that an you can insert the value of a textfield and such inside the email message. So if you have all your text fields used in the calculator you could put:

The value of ${textField1} multiplied by ${textField2} equals ${textField3}.

You can see you can easily create a custom message with the text values.

Hope this helps for now until a better solution is available.
