Create Android apps with Sencha Touch, PhoneGap and Eclipse

[paulb777]

Yesterday, we updated our PhoneGap Android Eclipse plug-in to include support for Sencha Touch.

The project wizard asks you to point at a downloaded Sencha Touch directory on your computer.

Then, you can create the Sencha Kitchen Sink, a Sencha Touch version of the default PhoneGap example, or point at a local directory including an index.html.

More details here

I'd appreciate any feedback

Thanks you, it save me alot of time to get starting.

by the way I have a question, I have already a website that using Extjs, now I wnat to add it to phonegap, so my question is "how can I make an ajax call to my host to get value to show?"

Thanks!!!

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...orking-webview. Also, several other examples come up stackoverflow and the phonegap mailing list on Ajax searches.

This is my first stab at writing an Android App.

I'm trying to get the Kitchen Sink example working but I get an error 'The connection to the server was unsuccessful' 'file:///android_asset/www/index.html' - does it only work with a specific version of Android? I am using 1.6.

I've previously created and got working a new Hello World project with an index.html file under the same assets/www directory (but under that project obviously) without problem, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any ideas?

[paulb777]

I'm able to build for 1.6 and run successfully on a 2.2 device. I don't have a device running 1.6. However, on a 1.5 device, I get the title (Sink) and a blank screen under it. Other PhoneGap apps run ok on 1.5 so there may be something about Sencha that needs a higher version.

You may have something else going on since file:///android_asset/www/index.html should get loaded by the PhoneGap glue code no matter what.

On 1.5 DDMS confirms a success :
01-20 16:48:23.840: INFO/System.out(384): loadUrl(file:///android_asset/www/index.html)
01-20 16:48:23.840: INFO/System.out(384): url=file:///android_asset/www/index.html baseUrl=file:///android_asset/www

An approach would be to incrementally adding to your working Hello World project or incrementally removing from the failing Kitchen Sink example until you see a switch.

Thanks paulb777! I changed to version 2.1 and it just worked

Hey !!

I have to start working on PhoneGap and develop a few applications to be wrapped up in PhoneGap for
android.
I would really appreciate it if someone would let me know each and
every single step to build a basic "HelloWorld" app for android using
PhoneGap.

Thanks
