As you begin writing hybrid mobile apps using Icenium, one of the things you should know about early on are the "lifecycle events" that are a core part of PhoneGap/Apache Cordova. These events are emitted on the document and provide critical hooks ("deviceready", for example) for when your application behavior should execute. In this post we'll take a brief look at the most important/often-used lifecycle events.
It is that time of year again when the media and analyst community start putting out a plethora of resolutions and predictions for the coming year. Whether it’s the typical "diet" resolution or something a bit far-fetched, people love to know what others are thinking, planning and the like. That is why we’ve asked Telerik leaders to voice their opinions for 2014. Some talked personally, some talked professionally, but all offered some good food for thought.
Cordova's InAppBrowser plugin does as its name implies: opens a new browser window within the current app. This gives you the powerful ability to access web content without needing to embed it within the app itself.
While Cordova provides plenty of options to configure how this browser works, there are no built in APIs that let you directly pass data back and forth between the app and the InAppBrowser window. In this article we'll take a look at a workaround to make this possible.
Anyone that has ever done a web search is familiar with autocomplete behavior. But actually developing these controls has a number of non-trivial technical challenges. Where do you get the options from? Do you specify those options on the client or load them server-side? Do you load all options at once or as the user types?
Kendo UI's AutoComplete widget gives you the hooks to make all these implementations possible. In this article we'll build a few Java-backed AutoComplete widgets to explore the best way to structure the autocomplete controls you need to build. We'll start with a small hardcoded list, and scale all the way up a server filtered list with a million options.
The already released Q3 2013 SP1 will be the last Telerik OpenAccess ORM version to support Visual Studio 2008, the old "Classic" Wizards, Oracle 9i and MySQL 5.0.
