close windows phone 8 application inibm worklight? - windows-phone-8

WL.App.close() in ibm worklight is avaiable in wp 8?
I try to use this to quit my application when backbutton was pressed, but nothing've happened.
If this API is not avaiable to WP8, how can i make my app close when backbutton was pressed.
here's my code:
WL.App.overrideBackButton(backFunc);
function backFunc() {
if (isMapOn == true) {
loadInfo();
}
else {
WL.App.close();
}
}

It looks like the current version of Cordova does not support exiting the app on Windows phone. See: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/phonegap/9v2kOwXj6sQ/O8SVpd-qjicJ
It may be supported in the future.

Distriqt GameServices ANE - Apple Game Center Problem

I'me developing a game in AS3 AIR and I'me using Distriqt GameServices native extension.
The problem is that I can not sign in to Apple Game Center.
In the documentation, it's stated that: If Google Play Services aren’t available then you won’t be able to use the functionality in this extension.
And there's a code snippet:
var result:int = GoogleApiAvailability.instance.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable();
if (result != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
if (GoogleApiAvailability.instance.isUserRecoverableError( result )) {
GoogleApiAvailability.instance.showErrorDialog( result );
} else {
trace( "Google Play Services aren't available on this device" );
}
} else {
trace( "Google Play Services are Available" );
//init here
}
That sounds odd to me because Google Play Services are not available on iOS, naturally.
I've tried to skip this step and initialize the service without checking GoogleApiAvailability. But I'm getting this message after a successful initialization and then calling signIn() method:
The requested operation could not be completed because local player has not been authenticated.
That sounds odd too, because this is the authentication method itself!!
I'm almost sure that my setup is correct. And the extension is working fine on Android.
GameServices ANE Version: 5.0.011
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks
Ah, actually that had nothing to do with the Distriqt GameServices, so sorry.
The message "The requested operation could not be completed because local player has not been authenticated." was coming from iOS meaning the Game Center is not activated on the device.
Switching on Game Center in the device (settings-> gamecenter) solved the issue.

Winphone 8.1, Winphone 10 and Moga pro connection

I'm making a game support MogaPro run on both WP10 and WP8.
Here is the Capabilities code on packet manifest
<Capabilities>
<Capability Name="internetClientServer" />
<DeviceCapability Name="proximity" />
</Capabilities>
Create gamepad object:
if (!g_GamePad)
{
try
{
g_GamePad = ref new Moga::Windows::Phone::ControllerManager();
g_GamePad->Connect();
}
catch (Platform::Exception^ e)
{
return false;
}
if (!g_GamePad)
return false;
}
And code check connection:
if ((g_GamePad) && ((Moga::Windows::Phone::ControllerManager^)g_GamePad)->GetState(Moga::Windows::Phone::ControllerState::Connection) == Moga::Windows::Phone::ControllerResult::Connected){//code callback}
The problem is when I run on WP10 device, a system popup appear ask user want to use moga pro on this app or not. If I chose Yes, game run perfect. If I chose No, the Moga and Game never connect until I Uninstall and reinstall app.
But in WP8.1 I doesn't see any confirm popup and can not connect moga pro and game. Always assert at code check connection.
What is different between WP10 and WP8.1, and how I connect Moga and WP8.1.
Please help,
Thanks.
It looks like some incompatibility between MOGA control and Windows Phones; it's not possible to answer your question without access to the MOGA source code, but issue definitely not in your code.
I recommend you to try my open source library: worked perfectly with MOGA Mobile and should work with MOGA Pro.

Is Worklight App based on Dojo toolkit 1.9 supported in Windows phone 8?

I am working on a worklight App using it's default 1.9 Dojo Toolkit. My App is working fine in Android emulator and in the web browser simulator. I tried to test the same app in Windows phone 8 Emulator but I am not able to see the whole Home page. I can see only Tabbar Button part used at the button while I am not able to see the list items used in the page. My Question is does Dojo Toolkit 1.9 supports Windows Phone 8?
I have visited dojo 1.9 release link and It says that in dojo 1.9, support for Windows Phone 8 has been included. If this is true, What could be the reason of failure for my app in Windows phone 8 emulator?
I also got below log when I created Windows phone 8 environment in my Worklight Project.
[2013-11-12 22:14:08] Environment 'Windows Phone 8' was created.
[2013-11-12 22:14:13] Starting build process: application 'KaiserTestApp', environment 'windowsphone8'
[2013-11-12 22:14:28] Windows Phone 8 app may not work well with Dojo toolkit included for this Application. Use a different Worklight Project, without Dojo toolkit, for Windows Phone 8 apps.
[2013-11-12 22:14:28] Application 'KaiserTestApp' with environment 'windowsphone8' build finished.
There is a WP8 VM bug that might hurt ListItem and might explain your issue. To check if that you are falling into this just monkey patch the _ItemBase _setSelectedAttr method this way and see if that fixes your issue:
_setSelectedAttr: function(/*Boolean*/selected){
// summary:
// Makes this widget in the selected or unselected state.
// description:
// Subclass should override.
// tags:
// private
if(selected){
var p = this.getParent();
if(p && p.selectOne){
// deselect the currently selected item
var arr = array.filter(p.getChildren(), function(w){
return w.selected;
});
array.forEach(arr, function(c){
this._prevSel = c;
c.set("selected", false);
}, this);
}
}
this.selected = selected;
//this._set("selected", selected);
}
If that is fixing your issue let us know and we will see how to release an updated version of Dojo that workarounds that WP8 WM bug.

App doesn't geolocate after installation on FF OS

I've written a web app for Firefox Mobile / Firefox OS. My app uses geolocation.
It worked well when I tested it with Firefox for Android and the FFOS simulator add-on by visiting the web address of the application. Recently I've passed the Firefox Marketplace review and my app is installable on FFOS and Firefox for Android. To my surprise, when I installed and ran it, geolocation didn't work.
Here's an excerpt from the .webapp file:
"permissions": {
"geolocation": {
"description": "Required for ....."
}
}
Here's the relevant part of JS:
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(positionFound, positionNotFound, {
enableHighAccuracy: false,
maximumAge: 3600000
});
}
else {
$('#location').html('No geolocation support');
}
The else block is not executed, so JS detects that geolocation exists, but the callback is never called, and the GPS icon never blinks.
The app still works and positionFound() is called properly when accessed via its URL, not as an installed app.
How can I make it geolocate after installation?
The following code works for us, however GPS functionality is severely limited on the Geeksphone FFOS 1.2 nightly builds as well as aGPS on FFOS 1.0 (time to first fix ~ 5min). The geoLocation API requires frequent reboots on our devices. For us, FFOS 1.1 worked best so far. Try to use one of the existing GPS apps like "gpsDashboard" before starting your app. This way you know your phone is working.
function geo_success(position) {
alert(position.coords.longitude);
}
function geo_error() {
alert("Sorry, no position available.");
}
var geo_options = {
enableHighAccuracy: true,
maximumAge : 300000,
timeout : 270000
};
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(geo_success, geo_error, geo_options);
Do your callback functions work properly with fake data?
Here's a post on the Mozilla Hacks Blog that discusses geolocation tips and tricks, as well as limitations with some of the developer devices:

The Phonegap Barcode Scanner don't recognize any barcode on windows phone

I'm trying to add the Phonegap Barcode scanner plugin to my Phonegap app. I'm primarily developing for windows phone 8 but I also want to target the ios and android platforms. I managed to add the plugin correctly, but when I start the scan, my windows phone doesn't recognize any barcodes. It just shows the video screen with a focus button and a green square.
Here's my code for the scan:
function Scan() {
window.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(function (result) {
barcode = result;
alert(barcode.text);
}, function (error) {
alert("Scanning failed: " + error);
});
};
this function is called on deviceready event.
Am I doing something wrong? Or did I miss something in the plugin? I read that android and ios need to set permission to execute this plugin. Do I need permission to enable it to scan in windows phone too?
UPDATE :
It seems I can scan QR code but not the regular one(SCC code). Someone have a clue on this?
Try using the ZXing Barcode Scanner for Windows Phone. It works quite well.

You can call the class you create using PhoneGap. Then let the native plugin for ZXing do all the heavy work, and return back the code scanned to you in Javascript using the success function.
