Opis: Apache Cordova API Cookbook - John Wargo

Using Apache Cordova, mobile developers can write cross-platform mobile apps using standard HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS, and then deploy those apps to every leading mobile platform with little or no re-coding. Apache Cordova API Cookbook provides experienced mobile developers with details about how each Cordova API works and how to use the APIs in their own applications. Coverage is included for all Cordova/PhoneGap 3 APIs. Instead of just showing short snippets of code to explain a particular API, this guide is chock full of complete examples. You'll find more than thirty complete Cordova applications that work on Android, iOS, Windows, and more. The sample applications demonstrate exactly what each API does and how it works, while the chapter content describes the limitations on the leading target platforms (and even offers possible workarounds). Through realistic "cookbook" example code, mobile developer John Wargo helps you master the Cordova APIs and understand how to use them in your Cordova applications. Topics include * Accelerometers, compass, and geolocation * Image, video, and audio-capture, playback, and management * Determining connection and device information * Interacting with the Contacts application * Responding to application events * Accessing the device file system * Globalizing apps * Using the InAppBrowser * Notifications * Custom splash screens Special care has been taken to make the code easily readable and digestible by the reader. This guide provides the most accessible coverage, anywhere, of Apache Cordova APIs.Foreword xiii Preface xv Acknowledgments xvii About the Author xix Chapter 1: Introduction to Apache Cordova 1 Introduction to Apache Cordova 1 Supported Platforms 5 Coding Cordova Applications 5 Configuring a Cordova Development Environment 6 Building Cordova Applications 6 Anatomy of a Cordova Application 9 Resources 15 Wrap Up 17 Chapter 2: Accelerometer 19 Measuring Device Orientation 20 Watching a Device's Orientation 28 What Can Go Wrong 33 Chapter 3: Camera 35 Taking a Picture 36 Configuring Camera Options 44 iOS-Only Capabilities 58 What Can Go Wrong 58 Chapter 4: Capture 61 Using the Capture API 62 Configuring Capture Options 66 Capture in Action 66 What Can Go Wrong 77 Chapter 5: Compass 79 Getting the Device Heading 79 Watching the Device Heading 86 What Can Go Wrong 95 Chapter 6: Connection 97 Using the Connection API 97 An Example 99 What Can Go Wrong 103 Chapter 7: Contacts 105 Creating a Contact 106 Searching for Contacts 115 Cloning Contacts 124 Removing Contacts 124 What Can Go Wrong 124 Chapter 8: Device 127 Using the Device API 127 An Example 128 What Can Go Wrong 133 Chapter 9: Events 135 Managing Event Listeners 136 deviceready Event 137 Application Status Events 138 Battery Status Events 141 Button Events 144 Network Status Events 149 What Can Go Wrong 152 Chapter 10: File 153 Storage Locations 154 Accessing the Device's File System 156 Reading Directory Entries 159 Accessing FileEntry and DirectoryEntry Properties 163 Writing Files 167 Reading Files 170 Deleting Files or Directories 172 Copying Files or Directories 173 Moving Files or Directories 173 Transferring Files 174 What Can Go Wrong 179 Chapter 11: Geolocation 181 Getting a Device's Current Location 182 Watching a Device's Location 189 What Can Go Wrong 197 Chapter 12: Globalization 201 Example Applications 202 Using the Globalization API 204 Currency 206 Date 208 Language and Locale 217 Number 218 What Can Go Wrong 223 Chapter 13: InAppBrowser 225 Example Application 225 Managing an InAppBrowser Window 227 InAppBrowser Events 236 Executing Scripts in an InAppBrowser Window 237 Insert CSS 238 What Can Go Wrong 239 Chapter 14: Media 241 The Media Object 241 Playing Audio Files 247 Media Playback in Action 249 Recording Audio Files 259 Media Recording in Action 259 What Can Go Wrong 263 Chapter 15: Notification 265 Visual Alerts 266 Getting Input 269 Audible and Tactile Notifications 275 What Can Go Wrong 275 Chapter 16: Splashscreen 277 Using the Splashscreen API 277 Using Custom Splash Screen Images 281 What Can Go Wrong 284 Index 285
