Windows Phone Validation

Windows Phone Validation

• • • THIS IS A DRAFT. MUCH OF THE INFORMATION IS OUT OF DATE OR INCORRECT ***

The following features don't work as expected on Windows phones:

-Transition between forms does not appear as smoothly as it should. (Sample app: Two Forms)

-.wav and .mp3 audio files not supported. (Sample app: Audio Video, Play sound)

-The busy indicator does not appear (see sample app: busy indicator)

-The camera doesn't work (see Sample app: camera)

-Some fonts are not supported, for ex: the font Sansation. (See sample app: custom font)

-SpeechSynthesis not supported (see sample app: iHearVoices)
NEEDS REVISION
sound does not play at all. not sure that SpeechSynthesis not supported is the cause of the problem though.

-Gif images may lag (see sample app: MinecraftSim)
NEEDS REVISION
IS THIS A GIF IMAGE?

-SQLite not supported (see sample app: Northwind, SQLite Sample 1, 2, 3)

-May not be able to use two fingers to zoom in on a picture (see sample app: On Gesture)
NEEDS REVISION
Not sure why this doesn't work

-(see sample app: Orientation)
NEEDS REVISION
Not sure why this doesn't work.

-PictureBox1.style.webkitTransform is not supported. (See sample app: Picturebox)
NEEDS REVISION:
Since the spin button doesn't work, (the picture box doesn't flip) it appears that property is not supported. Maybe other webkit properties aren't supported either?

-Zooming in on a picture in a picture box by using the property scroll_options, and setting zoom to true does not work. (See sample app: PictureBox_scrollAndZoom)

-Command Print doesn't work. (see sample app: Print)
NEEDS REVISION
not sure if this is the problem

-HTMLview control may not work well. There may be issues with scrolling (see sample app: Scrolling file).
NEEDS REVISION
as I scroll down, the visible portion of the HTMLview keeps decreasing until I'm unable to see the file at all.

-(see sample app: Signature Capture)
NEEDS REVISION:
not sure why this doesn't work. Nothing appears on the picture box. Problems with picturebox.beginPath() and picturebox.moveTo(x,y)?

-(see sample app: split view)
NEEDS REVISION:
not sure why I was unable to scroll sideways when the app is not fit to screen.

-Property style.webkitTransform not supported? (see sample app: Sprite)
NEEDS REVISION
it appears that this is the problem since mario doesn't spin

-May not be able to scroll in any direction on a Grid (see sample app: Windows Print).
NEEDS REVISION:
unable to scroll in any direction even though in the scroll_options property mousewheel and scroll bars are set to true.

-windows.print() does not work. (see sample app: Windows Print)
NEEDS REVISION
when I click on the print button, nothing happens.

-May not be able to scroll smoothly up or down a grid (may lag). (see app: Kitchen sink)

-May not be able to scroll down a dropdown menu in a select tool. (see app: Kitchen sink)
NEEDS REVISION
When I open the drop down menu to select a month, I can’t scroll down all the way to 12. same with the days dropdown menu. Same issue on the android phone.
On both phones, when I click on the grid a messagebox with the cell number pops up. The slider that is used to scroll up and down the grid appears on top of the messagebox!

-May not be able to scroll sideways on a chart (see sample app: chart, chart JS)
NEEDS REVISION

-Color picker may not work (see sample app: color picker)

-jqWidget's DragDrop control does not work(see sample app: Drag Drop)

-jqWidgets Grid's features may not all work (see sample app: Grid with Buttons)
NEEDS REVISION
no messageboxes pop up when I click the buttons on the grid

-jqWidgets Input features may not all work (see sample app: Input)
NEEDS REVISION
The top textbox works on Windows. But the bottom one doesn’t. when I typed t I got no suggestions. Also, when I tried to edit the text in it, I’m only able to add text to the beginning of the string, it is not letting me move the cursor to the end of the string.

-jqWidgets Listbox may not work (see sample app: Listbox)
NEEDS REVISION
Doesn’t work on windows. It is not letting me scroll down, make a selection, or even switch to multiple selections mode.

-jqWidgets Menu may not work (see sample app: Menu)
NEEDS REVISION
The menus and buttons arrangement looks exactly like the PC’s. However, I’m only able to click on the Products dropdown menu. The rest of the buttons are not clickable. Its like they’re just text. so when I click on Home for example, the word home gets selected but no button is pressed.

-Manually swiping through jqWidgets PhotoGallery may not work (see sample app: Photo Gallery)

-jqWidgets Radial Gauge does not work (see sample app: Radial Gauge)

-jqWidgets Switch Button does not work (see sample app: Switch Button)

-

Notes:
-Sometimes the screen flashes in grey when scrolling up/down (See sample app: Format Date Time). Also an area the same size as the button (or other controls) about 1 cm below the control may appear in grey temporarily when the control is clicked (See sample app: Scrolling form).
-A full keyboard instead of a Date picker may appear when user clicks on a text box with the inputType property set to date. (see sample app: iOS7)
-A full keyboard instead of a Time picker may appear when user clicks on a text box with the inputType property set to time. (See sample app: iOS7)

Tutorials and Labs

1- Lab Features solution: error box on all 3 devices. and I get this error message when trying to open or deploy the sample app from the pc:

android: everything works except for Compass. It does not appear. Windows: the camera doesn’t work. But I can choose an Emoji. The compass doesn’t work. I also get a message that SQLite is not supported. Detecting location seems to work to an extent as I get a message from the phone asking for permission to detect my location. But I don’t know if it works correctly, because I get a temperature reading of 14.97. Saving doesn’t work. Also on both phones the weather readings sometimes keep fluctuating. Right now it got to 29.27.

3- Lab Library Solution Again I get this error

The error box appears on all 3 devices. On android the compass doesn’t work. The data loaded this time for Toronto are a lot more realistic (temperature 9 degrees) Windows: compass and camera don’t work. The good news is, when I used current location, I get the exact same readings as the ones I got on the android phone. Saving does not work. When I click save, The save box stays highlighted for a while. And I don’t get the “Saved!” message box. The saves tab is empty.

4- Lab Local Storage Solution same error

Error box appears on all 3 devices. android: compass doesn’t work but camera and saving do. Windows: compass, camera and saving do not work. got realistic readings right away.

5- Lab Multimedia Solution Again same error message when deploying/opening the sample app

Error box appears on all 3 devices. Windows: audio doesn’t work. Video works.HTML view works. Android: audio control appears but doesn’t work. Video works. HTML view works.

6- Lab Rotation Solution

I get this message. Error box appears on all 3 devices. I get the same weather readings on both phones. Except on android the temperature has like 10 0’s to the right of the decimal point then followed by 27. So the temperature reads 14.9700000000027 whereas on windows it just reads 14.97. Windows: SQLite not supported. Camera and compass don’t work. Saving does not work. I don’t get the “saved” message box and I can’t find any saved data under saves tab. Android: Camera works and Saving. Compass doesn’t work. Also the readings keep fluctuating.

7- Lab SQLite solution Error message on all 3 devices. I get the same error message as above. Windows: SQLite not supported. Weather data loads. Compass doesn’t work. Camera doesn’t work. Ok when I press on the camera button it becomes highlighted and stays like that, but nothing happens afterwards. Saving doesn’t work Android: had to click on load multiple times before I got some readings. Camera works. But saving doesn’t work. I get this message:

8- Lab Twitter Solution Error box appears on all 3 devices. The error message about the compass appears. I’m not sure where the twitter fee Android: everything works except for compass. When I browse the saves tab, I see all the previous saves I made from previous similar apps. This is the case for all previous apps, not just this one. Windows: SQLite not supported. Compass, camera and saving do not work. When I click on the saves tab, for a split second there appears to be previous entries but then they disappear. Where is the twitter feed?

9- Lab Weather Solution error box appears on all 3. The message box warning about the compass does not appear. The cloud picture does not appear on any of the devices (I can only see it in NSB). No data is loaded. It looks like all the buttons in this app are not programmed.

10- Multiple Forms Android: error box appears. I entered my name, month and day, but left the year as default. When I clicked on the button Show Day of Week, the year portion of the date appeared as undefined, which means that the app thinks that no year was chosen. Windows: works like on android.

11- Student Drop Box / Student drop box file I get this error when trying to log in.. https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?client_id=n4trofrfmoy56jb&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsbapp.com%2FrkdqStudentsDropboxDatastore%2F&response_type=token&state=oas_hvcmn8n9_0.nzheeevvb1tt

But I think that’s because I’m not deploying the app correctly. When I first open the app, I get the a message saying that the app must be deployed to nsbasic.com to work correctly. How do I do that?

12- Students SQLite windows: SQLite not supported. so it doesn’t work. android: error box. works.

A note: This applies to all apps in all folders: the windows phone always displays an “updating - please wait…” message before an app loads, whereas on android the apps load right away.

8- Camera to Server Windows: doesn’t work. When I click on “browse” nothing happens. Android: error box appears at the beginning.
