This is the Android one.
Does it work on Android now that you have added the permissions?

[coletek]

Nope. I currently only testing with Android, and when I added the permissions (as shown in the packager.json), Ext.device.Connection.isOnline() doesn't work, however navigator.onLine

I've triple checked it, updating the version each time to ensure I'm testing the new version and it still doesn't work.

I'm using Android 4.1.1

[AndreaCammarata]

Which version of Sencha Cmd are you using to package your app?

[coletek]

SenchaSDKTools-2.0.0-beta3-windows.exe

FYI: when I add the permission VIBRATE and try to do a "Ext.device.notification.vibrate()" it doesn't work either! It appears to not get passed this function, as I have a Ext.Msg just after it and it doesn't show up.

Cheers,

[AndreaCammarata]

I guess that's the problem...you are using a very obsolete Sencha Cmd...
The latest available version is 3.0.2

[coletek]

Hang on - I posted the version of my SDK, which is the latest (2.0.0 Beta 3) as seen here:
http://www.sencha.com/products/sdk-tools/download

The SDK includes the sencha cmd. So wouldn't it have the same version as the current version of the standalone sencha cmd? as found at http://www.sencha.com/products/sencha-cmd/download

Yeah, we are aware of this and the page will be updated soon.
However, is your problem fixed now that you have installed the latest Sencha Cmd version?

Hi Andrea,

Unfortanly I can't seem to work out how to build a android app using the new Sencha Cmd 3, after installing Sencha Cmd 3 and running "sencha app build native" using the same packager.json I get:

Unable to locate 'app.dir' config property from sencha.cfg

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[coletek]

While I now know the above error was caused, because the project was created using Sencha Cmd 2 (found within the SDK).

I'll try creating the project with Sencha Cmd 3, and porting the code to the new project, and then let you know if it fixes the Connection.isOnline() issue.

However the 2.0 doco (http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/native_apis), says I can use Connection.isOnline() should work with 2.0, so this is a bug for version 2.0!
