My Cordova+JQM application has multiple templates (across sub-pages and multiple HTML documents) which are filled with data requested using AJAX. My issue is, my application's size increases each time I load the data in my template, doesn't matter if I have opened it before. And the app's details do not show an increase in Cache , but in Data . The cache is minimum, like a few kbs, but Data goes in MBs. I have not enabled data-dom-cache of JQM. I even tried to call a function to empty the DOM data before leaving the template(that is from one HTML file to another) like this: $( document ).on(

I have a simple hybrid app which should download files with cordova 2.3.0. From the documentation: var filePath = someFullPath; //e.g. "file:///mnt/sdcard/myfile.pdf" var uri = encodeURI("http://someurl.com/myfile.pdf"); var fileTransfer = new FileTransfer(); fileTransfer.download( uri, filePath, function(entry) { console.error("download complete: " + entry.fullPath); }, function(error) { console.error("download error source " + error.source); console.error("download error target " + error.target); console.error("donwload error code " + error.code); console.error("http: "+error.http_status); }

I'm about to deploy a hybrid app using phonegap (for android & ios). We want to swap it without the users knowing, so I thought I can just use the same device id (eg "de.company.myapp") - and so this way after the next app store update the users will have the new app installed. Note that on iOS this doesn't seem to be a problem. cordova config.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <widget xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0" id = "de.company.myapp" version = "1.0.0"> ... While testing this with android I'm getting this error: (note that the old

If I need to explain my self whats the difference between a hybrid app and a application built using phonegap, how I am going to explain ? Phonegap is an implementation of a hybrid approach. It is best to consider it a "hybrid framework". Another version of a hybrid application could be build mainly native and then use webviews (UIWebView on iOS, WebView on Android) for certain cross-platform pages. There are still many other frameworks and designs for "hybrid". Generally the more important comparison is web vs. native vs. hybrid. These should help you as well: http://www.asyncdev.net/2012/10

I am using TabBar in my application where I need to get Input in first tab and show output based on some calculation on other tab. I am able to get input in first tab but when I click on second tab, my state is lost. I am not sure if I have to make it a Stateful widget at root level. I am relatively new in Mobile App. Can someone help me out here? EDIT: Now I am able to achieve what I said above, but when I am trying to access the list of items from first tab, it throws null exception in second tab? I solved the above problem using AutomaticKeepAliveClientMixin as described in the answer below

I want to be able to show keyboard on mobile browser (e.g. Android) after navigating to the page. I have already seen some workarounds: Show virtual keyboard on mobile phones in javascript Can I trigger Android soft keyboard to open via javascript ( without phonegap )? Showing Android's soft keyboard when a field is .focus()'d using javascript But all of these examples work only if user tap somewhere. It allows to trigger focus() from within the click() . Does someone know if there any way to do the same thing but without user clicking? I've tried to trigger click programmatically but it also
