Introducing pointer.js
|
| |
A common problem web developers face is abstracting mouse and touch events.
You can do feature detection, but some devices will issue both! To help
alleviate this, I created pointer.js, located at
[link] .
It uses CustomEvent to create a 'pointer' type of event that abstracts... more »

Application Re-Installation Problem
|
| |
Hi folks,
I got Geeksphone PEAK a couple of days ago. I am working on the basic installation of application to understand the flow of working.
There was an issue i found. If I uninstall the application and want to re-install it once again, I was unable to do it.
I hosted the application in a private server and trying to access and install it from the browser.... more »

API for editing existing app installations
|
| |
Hi all
This was brought up in a bug, but the conversation got muddied across a number of different issues. One thing I'd like to see is an API that allows an app (a "marketplace app") to modify the manifest URLs (for hosted apps) or mini manifest URLs (for packaged apps) of apps that the marketplace app has installed. This allows us to do a few things:... more »

how to use privileged APIs for development?
|
| |
Hi,
We need to use some APIs with priviledge levels as contacts, own number,
etc.
How can we create the app and install in a developer device to test all the
functionality before submitting for approvals?
regards and thanks

Status of Geeksphones?
|
| |
Don't know where else to ask about this, but I figure someone on this list would know. Any word on when Mountain View is getting Geeksphones for engineers? I requested one of each for the Marketplace team a month ago (!) and the ticket has been approved for over two week (!!), but neither of the devices were marked as approved by any of the three people that were automatically requested. The "due date" of the ticket was May 1. Where are the devices? People are filing bugs that we can't do anything for.... more »

App short names
|
| |
Many apps have a long name e.g., "Weather Channel" but when displayed in a context with limited space, the name won't fit. As such, on other platforms, many native apps provide an alternate short name. For example, the "Github issues" app shows up as "Issues" on my phone. Same with "Robot Unicorn Attack 2", which shows up on the home screen as "RUA2".... more »

|

platform-specific icons
|
| |
Hi Matt, ...What's the bug number? ...This sounds a lot like UA sniffing (except you would be sniffing the platform). This is quite problematic, IMO - as you would need to target particular version of each OS. iOS 7, for instance, is rumored to have changed it's look and feel to be flat. While Windows Phone 9 might decide to go all blurry and add lens flares. Android has also gone through various fairly radical redesigns, while OEMs have also customized the look and feel ontop. Other platforms might innovate on their look and feel even faster than Android, Windows, and iOS.... more »
