Cordova

Another Name Change

This week was another slow week as many people were off part of the week due to New Year's or extended holidays. PhoneGap, recently renamed to Apache Callback, is now being renamed as Apache Cordova. There is discussion on the mailing list about where the code repositories will reside. It may be…

Repos Moving

This week we finished implementing some Cordova APIs (at least for the Qt 4 version). Compass and Accelerometer are done and some of Events was implemented. Notification is done as is most of File support and we are starting work on Contacts and Camera. Note that I am going to start consistently…

Corinthian Leather

This week we switched to the new repository. Some pull requests from the old repository had to be resubmitted. Changes were committed for : Patches to get code to compile with Qt 5 (still backwards compatible with Qt 4) Adding Compass sensor suport Renaming references to Callback or PhoneGap to…

Move to QML

Since the last posting we properly set up deployment of Cordova Qt for MeeGo Harmattan (e.g. the Nokia N9 phone).

Testing Continues

We've recently been running the Cordova tests and making some fixes to get them to run better. We've documented on the Wiki how to run the Cordova tests. See the section "Running Cordova Tests" at this wiki page. We hope to have a demo video up soon showing the tests running on the simulator and…
