How to use Phone gap with SUP Hybrid application?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I searched on net to use or call phone gap APIs from my HWC workflow application(no native please). Did not get any suitable tutorial.

I'm going through this:

http://scn.sap.com/community/mobile/blog/2013/06/03/building-phonegap-native-plugin-for-hwc-containe...

http://scn.sap.com/community/mobile/blog/2013/06/04/building-phonegap-native-plugin-for-hwc-container--anroid

But, it seems that, these are kind of Native(java and Objective-c)...

Actually, I want to call phone gap API/functionality from JS(that are available in generated workflow in sybase unwired workspace 2.1.3).

Could any one please guide me with a step by step approach?

Thanks.

This is what exactly you are looking for,

In the example it uses PhoneGap APIs inside the custom.js

Thanks a lot Midhun.

I need information for initial project setup (how to add phone gap lib) in Syabse unwired platform.

I'm very new to these apps...

Also...

What should I select as type( in image)...and then how to proceed...?

The PhoneGap library will be present in the project by default. No need to add it.

Ok.I'm doing to get Geo location..

The tutorial you refered for me...I didn't get how "hwc" object is declared.So I searched in net, how to load phone gap features...and found this:

http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc01853.0220/doc/html/vhu13...

Still, i'm not sure how to use this.

Any idea?

hwc.customBeforeNavigateForward = function(screenKey, destScreenKey){

}

Comes in sup 2.2, if you are working in sup 2.1.3 the same function will be function customBeforeNavigateForward(screenKey, destScreenKey) {}

So you need to write the code inside of these methods which are present in the custom.js file in the project.

Hi Midhun,

That means, the following two methods can also be called without HWC..right?

function run() {

   ....................

.............................

          hwc.showAlertDialog(coords.latitude + ":" + coords.longitude); //should it be without HWC

      };

      var fail = function(e) {

          hwc.showAlertDialog('Can\'t retrieve position.\nError: ' + e); //should it be without HWC

      };

      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(win, fail);

    }

I did this without HWC.The alert dialog pops up showing latitude and longitude but still not getting the map/location. What could be the problem?

m'I doing any thing wrong in this method call: navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(win, fail); ??

Please help.

Yes. You don't want to use HWC. Is google map enabled in you phone in which you are testing ? I am assuming that it is related to it.

I'm testing this on iphone simulator.Could you please tell me how to enable this on simulator? Am I missing some google map SDK related things? Do I need to get new iOS key from Google? If my code is correct..what step I need to follow? Is this something, I need to pay Google for this testing and access there map?

Thanks.
