I have a PhoneGap project which runs perfectly fine on Android platform, but it doesn't run on WP8.
Aftering loading the index.html(the default page which is created when the project is created), I redirect the page to a new page called _layout.html.
Here is the index.js(it's the PhoneGap built-in code, not mine) which has my code for redirecting to my page.
var app = {
// Application Constructor
initialize: function() {
this.bindEvents();
},
// Bind Event Listeners
//
// Bind any events that are required on startup. Common events are:
// `load`, `deviceready`, `offline`, and `online`.
bindEvents: function() {
document.addEventListener('deviceready', this.onDeviceReady, false);
},
// deviceready Event Handler
//
// The scope of `this` is the event. In order to call the `receivedEvent`
// function, we must explicity call `app.receivedEvent(...);`
onDeviceReady: function() {
app.receivedEvent('deviceready');
// THIS IS THE ONLY CODE I WROTE IN THIS BUILT-IN JAVASCRIPT CODE
window.setInterval(function () {
window.location.href = '_layout.html';
}, 3000);
//---------------MY CODE ENDS--------------------------------------
},
// Update DOM on a Received Event
receivedEvent: function(id) {
var parentElement = document.getElementById(id);
var listeningElement = parentElement.querySelector('.listening');
var receivedElement = parentElement.querySelector('.received');
listeningElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:none;');
receivedElement.setAttribute('style', 'display:block;');
console.log('Received Event: ' + id);
}
};
Here is the code for _layout.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />
<title>MyApp</title>
</head>
<body onload="loadPage('_resultlist.html');">
<div class="panel">
<div class="row" id="Title" style="text-align: center; vertical-align: central; position: relative; left: -6%; top: 10%; margin-bottom: -30px; margin-top: -20px;">
<img src="img/logo.png" style="width: 150px; height: 100px; text-align: center; vertical-align: central;" />
</div>
<hr />
<div id="franva" style="height: 300px; display:inline-block; width: 300px;">
</div>
<hr />
<div id="search" style="text-align: center;">
<input type="button" class="searchbutton" title="Search" value="Search" />
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadPage(url, onleave, onenter) {
console.log("loadPage(" + url + ")");
// If onleave function specified
if (onleave) {
onleave();
}
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
// Callback function when XMLHttpRequest is ready
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlhttp.readyState === 4) {
if (xmlhttp.status === 200) {
console.log("Received content" + xmlhttp.responseText);
$("#franva").html(xmlhttp.responseText);
// If onenter function specified
if (onenter) {
onenter();
}
}
else {
$("#franva").html("Error loading page " + url);
}
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
jQuery.isUnsafe = true;
function loadPageAjax(pageurl)
{
$.ajax({
url: pageurl,
context: document.body,
dataType: "html"
}).done(function (data) {
alert("Ajax data = " + data);
$("#franva").html(data);
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
As you can see that this page has a div which called "franva" and it loads another page, _resultlist.html, into this div.
Here is the code for _resultlist.html
<div id="result-list" style="width: 100%;">
<div class="result-row">
<div class="left">
<img src="img/tv1.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="right">
<p><strong>Samsung XT7290</strong></p>
<p>27 inch, AU$ 1777</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="result-row">
<div class="left">
<img src="img/tv2.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="right">
<p><strong>Samsung XT7290</strong></p>
<p>27 inch, AU$ 1777</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="result-row">
<div class="left">
<img src="img/tv3.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="right">
<p><strong>Samsung XT7290</strong></p>
<p>27 inch, AU$ 1777</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I only created these 2 pages, nothing more than them.(oh also included jquery if that counts.)
I ran a cloud build on PhoneGap Build website to generate the Android app and it works on my Android phone. The online generated Windows Phone app cannot be installed(it pops up a error message : Cannot install this Company App ....)
So I built it in my Visual Studio 2012. But the content of div franva cannot be loaded.
I went through the PhoneGap document, it says CORS is not a problem in PhoneGap, since it has a WebBrowser underlying which runs code. It's true one Android, but why not on Windows Phone 8?
The whole idea is to have a layout page so that I don't need to write the duplicated layout part code again and again. The _resultlist.html page serves as a content of a div, it can be replaced by any other resources like the data fetched by an Ajax call.
Also, I have done a research about what the version of IE is used in WP 8, the answer is IE 10. About IE10, someone says it supports CORS, others say no....I am confused....
I have been stuck on this problem for days.
Really appreciate if someone can point out the right way for me.
Thanks in advance.
