Is it possible to add smooch as a tab in the BottomNavigationView - smooch

I´m trying to integrate Smooch chat in my Android application, using it as a tab in the bottom navigation. Is it possible to embed it in some way? If not, what do you recommend?
Regards.

The SDK doesn't support the use of ConversationFragment on its own at the moment.

How to implement Google maps with Angular 2?

I am looking for possible solution to implement google maps with Angular 2. I found certain packages to use but all have certain limitations. I tried 'angular2-google-maps' and 'ng2-map' but there are certain things yet to come. Can you please suggest which one is the best to use to implement Google Maps in my application?
PS: I am trying out Google Maps JavaScript APIs but seems like I am facing difficulties to implement it.
there is a project which provides exactly what you need:
https://angular-maps.com/
There is a getting started and it is hosted on github as well:
https://github.com/SebastianM/angular2-google-maps
Another possibility is it to use the GoogleJSAPI from Google directly. Since Angular2 is JavaScript you can easely add it like described by Google:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/?hl=de
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Can we make a web application using ionic framework?

i have got the project but someone told me to use ionic framework so
can we make web application using ionic framework?
and official website is telling that it is using for creating mobile application
so i am little confused
Well, yes you can create a fully-fledged application using Ionic; it's just that it's better suited for mobile applications. It's built on top of Cordova, so it's a little better with mobile applications.
I have tried it personally in the past, and it's amazing. The tools the Ionic Community provides makes building applications a lot more fun. Yes, you'll have to override a couple of classes to get the look you desire, but otherwise, it's possible.
But remember, just because soccer has a goalie, it doesn't mean you can't score.
The framework is made for developing Hybrid apps with the use of native functionality with ngCordova. That being said, if you like the framework you can just run it from your desired hosting platform since it is basicly just javascript, and angular, with the bootstrap like Ionic tags for styling.
You cant use the ngCordova functionality from a browser though.
The real questing is, what do you need to build. You might just be better of making a MEAN stack web application,if you dont have any use for the Ionic functionality, and just choose your own styling template, like mentioned, Bootstrap.

ionic: using the framework with only HTML5

I'm thinking of using ionic for my project but in the beginning I'd like to only have a webapp without going to an app. Like what framework7 allows. But the information I gathered seems to indicate that this is not possible or fully supported by ionic.
Could someone share some experience to say if it's possible and how hard it is?
For ionic2 it is possible:
add codova platform browser
upload files under platforms/browser/www
point it in browser
done
Note: Plugins that depends on device will not work in browser (for instance camera etc..), the rest will work fine, so keep your app usable even without device plugins
It is possible to port your Ionic app as a mobile website.
Its basically an angular app with added benefits of Ionic ecosystem. This ecosystem includes nifty set of directives of mobile first ui components, js library for interactions (pull to refresh / slide etc) and other such things that compliments your app to make it look and feel like using a native app.
It really shines at accessing native components of your device (camera, location, battery info etc) using js apis (cordova.js). But it isn't of any use when you are building a mobile website with ionic. So, you could write platform specific code to support both web and native in conjunction. You could make the most of cordova.js when you start building your native apps. Else, leave it plain vanilla for your mobile site.
I have ported my ionic app as a web app to serve my audience on mobile browsers (also plan to roll out native apps soon) and I have not faced any major challenges so far. It truly has mobile first experience.
If making a single page desktop website is your sole objective, you should probably go for standard angular bootstrap web apps. Ionic isn't meant for it.

ibeacon with HTML5 webpage

I am new guy to get know the IBeacon technology, as I understand taht IBecaon can invoke APP, I am thinking is it possible that we just use mobile phone webpage browser(HTML5), not to use the pre-installed APP.
In this way, can IBeacon send out the proximity signal as it always does and therefore to update the contents in the mobile phone webpage according to different IBeacon ID.
Is it difficult to implement this webpage and the back-end web service.
No, this is not possible. Unfortunately there are no standard HTML5 bindings to detect iBeacons. Building custom bindings would require you to build your own web browser.
See this answer for more info.

How can I embed TouchDB in a phonegap html5 app?

Basically I want the sync feature of CouchDB while developing with HTML5 and package the app with phonegapp.
I see that couchbase mobile has a few drawbacks(large code size, long startup time) and TouchDB seems promising. However, I can't find an obvious way to integrate TouchDB with Phonegapp. Is this possible? Or what's the right way to do it? Thanks in advance.
I Think that the best way to use TouchDB on phone gap app's is to develop a phonegap-plugin that allow you to access touchDB from your JavaScript/HTML PhoneGap-app,
this means that you should develop a phonegap-plugin for Android that call TouchAndroid and another one for IOS that call TouchIOS, ...etc.
hope this help,
