I have developed a web application using Polymer and packaging it as a CEF App. When I launch the application, I only get a blank screen while same application in browser is rendered properly.
I'm using CefSharp (V- 1.19.0.41824) to embed a webView control in my winform application. Below is the code that I'm using for displaying web content in webView -
webView = new WebView();
webView.Load("http://localhost:8000/sampleApp/")
Any pointer will be very useful.
If the current core chrome version used by CEF is lower than 36, then you'll need to enable the experimental flags to allow the web components features.
I don't know how you would enable those flags in your project, but I do know that web components and html link/includes where only made mainstream in the browser core from chrome 36 onwards.

I have to build a hybride app, out of my webapp. It´s not allowed to use a middleware framework like phonegap which just builds it. In my app I want to show that HTML5 already allows to use a lot of functions of the mobile phone like the geolocation, instead of frameworks which can do the same, so I cannot use the framework for building my app. Which program should I use, VS? And how can I build my application(jpk) without a framework like that to test it on my mobile phone?
You should create a simple application with a webview and run your webapp inside this webview.
The problem is: hybrid frameworks like Cordova or Phonegap arent supose to just implement mobile features like camera or gps, they are useful writing once and run everywhere without complaining about iOs and Android code or even for fallbacks. Probably in the future youre not even going to install applications in your phone to use all mobile features using only browser features.

I'm making a universal Windows Runtime 8.1 version of our app, originally an iOS app. I'm trying to find out how to display a page modally in the app.
In iOS, I'd use presentViewController:animated:completion: and dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:, but I can't find an equivalent in WinRT. I've seen the task mapping which only mentions navigation frames (they're the equivalent of using pushViewController:, which isn't what I want) and I've seen this question which talks about a ContentDialog class, but that's only available for phone apps, not universal ones.
How do I show a page modally in a universal app?
I am building mobile app for Android and iOS platforms using Phonegap. I want to use a html5 document viewer to display pdf's, ppt's and all in the mobile app.
I saw Crocodoc. Its good, but i need to something open source which i can tinker with.
Can you please suggest if currently there are any open source solutions to display documents in the mobile app ??
jQuery Mobile and PhoneGap both appear to be targeting cross-browser mobile development based on HTML5, but what are the major differences between the two?
What are the Pros and Cons of each framework?
Why would you choose one over the over?
Simply put jQuery Mobile is a UI toolkit for building mobile web applicaitons.
PhoneGap is a JavaScript framework which allows you to access native device functionality like the camera, contacts, file system, etc. PhoneGap does not provide UI elements.
If you want to create a hybrid mobile app, one which is built using HTML5 but runs on a device like a native app, you would not choose one over the other. You'd use both.
JQuery mobile is a javascript library for mobile broswing (mostly adapt the user-interface for better user experience on mobile devices)
Phonegap is a cross-platform development framework that provides core mobile device features to web-based mobile apps (Extracted from here)
Basically, you cannot use phonegape to take pictures from a website, but you can build an app with HTML and javascript (Phonegap) that access to some features in the mobile.
By the way you can use both in the same application: link
JQM is just a javascript framework, gives you some UI controls, animations and manages page navigation for you.
It's still a javascript webpage, so you don't actually have anything compiled in the end. Because of this your users access it using their BROWSER pointing to a URL, just like a normal website (only those are called Web-Apps in iOS language).
PhoneGap is just a Native project (written for all major Mobile hardware, like iOS, Android, BB, WP7, etc...) that wraps a WebView control (basically a browser window) inside an app. You could include your .js/.html files, and those would be loaded LOCALLY. Another feature of PhoneGap is a jscript bridge between your code and the phone's native capabilities (like for example taking a picture from javascript!).
You end up with a NATIVE APPLICATION that you can then post to the AppStore/AndroidMarket.
Hope this helps clarifying the difference.
The jQuery Mobile documentation has a page about making an app with PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/pages/phonegap.html
I used the latest and greatest jQuery Mobile (RC1) to develop an app for the client. I used the latest Webworks version from RIM and packaged the app in a Cod file.
The app works great if accessed through the web browser ETC however when I installed the actual generated JAD/Cod files onto a blackberry device, performance was horrible even with minimum number of jQuery libraries.
Since I have Googled this everywhere and it is apparent that one cannot have a meaningful app experience if Webworks is used, I want to be able to just create something that just places the app icon on the phone. Once clicked, it open the browser and takes the user to the web server where the HTML files are parked.
Is this possible?
You can do that, with a very simple Java-application.
The following code:
Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage("http://www.yourserver.com");
It will open browser and open page: http://www.yourserver.com
Browser class javadoc is here: http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/5.0.0api/net/rim/blackberry/api/browser/Browser.html
