My team and I were also there to present what our project was so far.
Here's a picture of us :)
As you can see, I am holding a tablet device..... with our app on it!!!!
Our professor gave each team an android tablet to carry our testing on different devices and so I used Phonegap, a great tool for porting web-based applications into different platforms including iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry...
Phonegap Build is very efficient and easy to use. I just had to zip the folder containing all our html/javascript/css/image files and upload it onto Phonegap Build and it builds your app for different platforms xD
Here are some tips for the minor problems I encountered:
- don't use hydration for simple testing purposes (our app wouldn't load properly with hydration)
- make sure your index.html is in the main folder that you zip and not in a folder within that folder e.g. we had our index.html in a folder called html with all the other html files. It's better to have an index.html that links to a main.html in the html folder. (http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/app_dies_on_startup_connection_to_the_server_was_unsuccessful)
Now I'm working on creating a local storage database on html5 but it's really difficult... I don't know why but I keep getting an error that the database doesn't exist even though I have "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS" in my code! :(
Anyway, here are the more close up pictures of our app on the tablet :)
Hehe, it feels so precious when you've put in so much effort! My babyyyyyy haha Can't wait to see it completed :)
