In Wp8, if I am navigating through the App, and next I press the home button(Windows icon) on the phone.
What should be the screen that I should be navigated to when I then start my app again, should the app start from the resumed screen or the first landing screen of the app.
Also is the fast app resume, the feature to achieve the same?
If you press the home button as you said, your app will go to the background, so when you resume it, it will open to the page you were at last time. Resuming a app, is as normal as it can, neither slow nor fast.

If user visit on my progressive web app and he don't know about chrome's add to desktop button on chrome menu so how can i tell him to install, is there any solution? like display button on web app, because if user visits "twice, over two separate days during the course of two weeks" then app install banner appears, so is it possible that when user visit first time then app install banner appears?
Now this feature is not enable by default yet. You should force this banner in DevTools or enable in flag://. Normally banner will show at fist visit if enabled
I have created an application using phonegap, this application contains many pages, I have a problem after pressing home button and then go back to the application thew application is reset to index.html page and loosing the state when I left the application.
I tested with Android so far.
I started developing Android apps using Eclipse IDE with Windows 7. In the course of developing I would be constantly consulting SO via Google Chrome and navigating back to Eclipse IDE to try out a solution that I found; and then back to SO if the solution didn't work.
Recently, I bought a computer with Windows 8, and each time I navigate back to Eclipse (which is on a taskbar on desktop) I lose the SO page that I was on and can't return to it.When I navigate to Google Chrome I just get a new page.I know it sounds so simple, but how do I navigate back to the page I was on previously? ....(I have the same problem with Gmail)
(I would like to be able to continue working in the way I did with Windows 7; if that is possible.)
I think I found the answer to my dilemma: Whenever I navigated back to desktop, I did so by "grabbing" the current page from the top and "dragging" it down; thereby destroying it. I should rather, have navigated via the pop-up window in the top left corner of the screen, thereby conserving the present page..(elementary, my dear Watson)
I´ve made an HTML page for downloading a corporate iPhone application (via plist distribution).
<div>
<img style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block;margin-top:22%;margin-bottom:0%" src="download.png"/>
</div>
Now on IOS7 when clicking the link the focus of page vanishes and the home screen is shown where you can follow the downloading progress.
On IOS8 when clicking the link the html page does not lose focus. The home screen is not shown and the user cannot follow the download progress.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
It's annoying, but, starting in iOS 8, opening an itms-services link will not send Safari to the background.
You'll have to add some text to your webpage that says something like "When you do tap the Download Button, please tap your Home button to view the progress of the App Installation." You might even want to get some Javascript going to react to the tap on the download button to bring some attention to that message.
This is a good thread that covers both the cases of itms-services links from within apps and from within Safari:
ios 8 openUrl itms-services does not exit current app
I'm trying to develop a kiosk web application that uses Google Chrome on kiosk mode setup which loads automatically after start-up.
http://www.sitepoint.com/google-chrome-kiosk-mode/
The kiosk web application also uses a virtual keyboard plugin for Google Chrome for the text inputs.
http://xontab.com/Apps/VirtualKeyboard
I'm planning to setup a computer unit with a touch screen monitor for the kiosk.
Note: It's my first time to develop a web application that uses the kiosk mode setup for Google Chrome and I don't have a touch screen monitor for testing. I wanted to ask this question for developers that has experience with this.
My question is:
Does Google Chrome on kiosk mode setup automatically detects my touch screen monitor?
Does Google Chrome automatically enables touch features when my web application is on kiosk mode such as swipe for scrolling up and down.
A touch screen is an input device just like a computer mouse - Google Chrome receives touch events the same way it receives mouse events (although the events are different).
The annoying thing when starting working with touch screens is that the standard click event that we are used to, is triggered after a delay comparing to mouse event. You should listen for tap event or use a library such as https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick
Making long story short developing a kiosk application integrated with a touch screen is similar to developing mobile websites. You should probably use a JavaScript library to support all kind of touch events such as tap, swipe etc. See http://hammerjs.github.io/

I know this answer is six years later but for anyone reading this. You can run Google Chrome in Kiosk Mode with custom options. This can be done by creating a new account and right clicking (in windows 10) on the icon for this account.
Under properties add the following tags to optimize the application for touchscreen use:
–-touch-events –enable-viewport
