Sencha Cordova Builder - Automated Builds for PhoneGap Projects

[webdev13]

Hi bricemason,

thanks for your support and help .

let me show more details
first i installed ant :
ant.jpg

and phonegap folder in C:\phonegap-2.4.0

and builder in C:\sencha-cordova-builder-master

cordova.properties file :

cordova.lib=\\phonegap-2.4.0

# files used to determine when building has finished
cordova.flags.built.android=${basedir}\\_android.built
cordova.flags.built.ios=${basedir}\\_ios.built

# android tools and resources
cordova.android.tools=${cordova.lib}\\lib\\android

cordova.android.project.app.json.name=app-android.json
cordova.android.project.app.json=${basedir}\\${cordova.android.project.app.json.name}

# ios tools and resources
cordova.ios.tools=${cordova.lib}\\lib\\ios

cordova.ios.project.app.json.name=app-ios.json
cordova.ios.project.app.json=${basedir}\\${cordova.ios.project.app.json.name}

builder.xml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project name="testbuilder" default=".help">
    <import file="${basedir}/.sencha/app/build-impl.xml"/>
    <import file="/sencha-cordova-builder-master/build-cordova.xml" />
    <target name="-after-build" depends="-build-android" />
    
    <target name="-after-build-android">
    
    <exec executable="ant">
        <arg value="-buildfile" />

        <arg value="-r" />
        <arg value="${cordova.android.project}/bin/${app.name}-debug.apk" />
    </exec>
    </target>
    <!--
    The following targets can be provided to inject logic before and/or after key steps
    of the build process:

        The "init-local" target is used to initialize properties that may be personalized
        for the local machine.

            <target name="-before-init-local"/>
            <target name="-after-init-local"/>

        The "clean" target is used to clean build output from the build.dir.

            <target name="-before-clean"/>
            <target name="-after-clean"/>

        The general "init" target is used to initialize all other properties, including
        those provided by Sencha Cmd.

            <target name="-before-init"/>
            <target name="-after-init"/>
            
        The "page" target performs the call to Sencha Cmd to build the 'all-classes.js' file.

            <target name="-before-page"/>
            <target name="-after-page"/>

        The "build" target performs the call to Sencha Cmd to build the application.

            <target name="-before-build"/>
            <target name="-after-build"/>
    -->

</project>

but i still see the folowwing error :

Make sure that ant is in the path.

If you type ant and press enter, does it show file not found, or does ant run?
If it shows file not found, you haven't setup the paths to the tools / sdk folder.
Reread the instructions on that step in the Android SDK install.

[webdev13]

this is my what in path

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk;C:\java\ant\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_15\bin;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3

[webdev13]

when i type and inside my project i get the following ,please find the image below

Hi Brice and thanks for an excellent utility,

When using Phonegap 2.4.0 the javascript file is not located in

/lib/ios/

but in

/lib/ios/CordovaLib/

Small fix is to copy the file

/lib/ios/CordovaLib/cordova.ios.js

to

/lib/ios/cordova-2.4.0.js

Better would of course be to find the file by itself and copy it : )

Best regards
Robert

[webdev13]

i'm sorry to you, to add more comments , to be honest i got crazy cuz of this issue , i'm sure ant is installed , but i still see the same error again and again , see the attached image please
Untitled.jpg

i apologize again

[bricemason]

@webdev13, no apologies necessary. Bundle up your project and post it. I'll take a look and even do a screencast with it if necessary so you can see everything I've tried. We'll get it straightened out.

Thanks,

Brice

[webdev13]

thanks Brice ,
its very kind of you , kindly find the project at http://leads-map.com/myApp1.zip
but there is nothing special in the project , i was only testing your great utility , so i followed all your instructions .

anyway , thank you a lot

regards

Dear Brice,
first of all thank you for you great job!
I've a bit of experience in phonegap ios/andoird development but I'm totally new to ST; I succeded using your Sencha Cordova Builder, the app shows the correct version of phonegap, but now I don't know how to call the Phonegap API ! This seems to be a very silly question, but I tried anything which camed to my mind. I'm using ST2.1.1 , Phonegap 2.3.0, Windows7 64bit.
Let's do something really basic, like calling navigator.app.loadURL('http://www.google.com') : how can I do this inside my ST app ? I tried with a segmentedbutton, just because the test app had one already created and it was easy to modify it:

{
    xtype: 'segmentedbutton',
    allowDepress: false,
    items: [
        { text: 'test1',  handler: function() { loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } },
        { text: 'test2', handler: function() { navigator.Test1.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } },
        { text: 'test3',    handler: function() { Test1.navigator.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } },
        { text: 'test4',    handler: function() { Test1.navigator.Test1.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } },
        { text: 'test5',    handler: function() { Test1.navigator.app.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } },
        { text: 'test6',    handler: function() { navigator.app.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } },
        { text: 'test7',    handler: function() { navigator.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); } }
    ]
}

but I always get an undefined <something> error...

Many thanks for your help!
Giorgio

Hi,

Im building apps used in different scenarios (chocking) and uses different namespace as to keep track of who and what the app is used for/by.

For example:
com.foo.internal.monitoring.Environment
com.foo.internal.monitoring.Backups
com.foo.internal.issue.Reporter

This is just some bad examples.

Currently i set the "base" namespace in cordova.properties, "com.foo.internal" and then in folder ".sencha" under my app i specify the namespace "monitoring.Enviroment" in sencha.cfg.

This generates a ugly XCode project, "monitoring.Environment.xcodeproj" it would be nice to be able to set the app namespace in build.xml under the app.

Been trying to post an argument to build-cordova-ios.xml but without luck, dont know where to begin.. .

Is this something that could be done or is this the best way of doing it?

Thanks and best regards
Robert
