Aviary web SDK crop tool and mobile browser features not working - mobile

I am developing a web site which uses the aviary SDK web. What I has found is the crop feature cannot use to rectangular crop of image.
For mobile applications I cannot use meme feature. Keyboard is not displaying and other features also not properly use.
you can see the tool added at http://dev.canvastory.com/get-started/idea-1.html.
select dimension from dropdown and click next. Then next tab appears and you can upload photo using facebook, instagram , computer or dropbox.
Please check and give me a solution.

As noted in the Creative SDK Image Editor guide, the Image Editor isn't currently optimized for mobile devices:
For handheld use we generally recommend our native SDKs (iOS, and Android), which have a UI optimized for smaller screens and performance tuned to the native device.
In some cases, when using the Web SDK on a mobile device, certain tools may not work as expected and the layout may not fit the screen.

Ionic framework: Single code base for various mobile devices (iOS, Android, phones, tablets)?

I am planning to develop a mobile app that completely duplicates the features that my web app offers. The web app is running on AngularJS + Django + Django REST Framework. The backend is essentially an API server, so it is pretty much ready to support a mobile frontend.
Although I know my stuff in the web development space, mobile development is completely new to me. With no prior mobile development experience and the lack of resources (as always, fund and time), HTML5/SASS/AngularJS are my best friends, so Ionic Framework + AngularJS seems to be the most viable solution for my situation.
A major requirement of this Ionic app is that it needs to support various mobile devices, ranging from iOS to Android and from phones to tablets.
With different design guidelines for iOS and Android and the different screen sizes between phones and tablets, could this requirement be met with one single code base?
If yes, what are the cons or limitations? Is this a common approach?
If no, what's the common approach in the Ionic world in supporting various mobile devices?
I use the same codebase for my Ionic hybrid app deployed as a native Android and iOS via Cordova and additionally viewable as a mobile website.
Nearly every component/layout in Ionic scales nicely between mobile and tablet devices (in some cases, you may wish to make concessions for tablet - font scaling, content adjustments etc which can be achieved by using something like mobiledetect.js and CSS media query targeting), and between devices such as iOS and Android scales with no issues at all.
You even get some inherent coolness with Ionic components such as the modal popup whereby on iPad/desktop it displays as a modal popup in the center of the screen, but on phone it resizes to take up the scale of the entire screen, looking simply like a full screen page.
Hope that helps get you on your way.

how to build a mobile website using html on ubuntu 12.04

I'm working on a simple mobile website for a hotel.they don't need much dynamic feature.most are simple HTML.So my question are as below.
I find it's hard to debug mobile website on Ubuntu.cause you know ,desktop browser are to big to show a mobile website.each time i need to put it on a server.then using a phone to test the mobile website.is't too annoy.is there a better way to do this?
On windows u have Dreamweaver to change the css style.but on Ubuntu can I find a tool like Dreamweaver?
is any any JavaScript code for animation for a mobile website.
Jquery mobile is a good js lib to create the basic element in webpages.but if I want to do some transition between pictures.how could I do that.
PS:if you want to use php to send a email to a email address how to do that?
In chrome you can emulate a mobile device, the viewport and user agent will adjust to desired device. In your developer tools you have something called Emulation where you can change your device.
Link!
To send a email with PHP, check the documentation:
Link to php docs
FWIW, I would reccomend you start with a resposive framework. There are plenty of great options, including Bootstrap , Foundation or Skeleton
From what you describe about your requirements, responsive is going to be a good fit for your client and you'll future-proof your design.
Then with a responsive design, you can test everything in a standard web browser by making the viewport or window wider or smaller.
Good luck!

Mobile devices web browser simulator

I'm looking for iPhone, iPad, Android and other mobile and smartphones web browsers simulators on x86. I would like to check how my web application written for standard web browser will be displayed on these devices.
The dev kits for these platforms include platform emulators, in which you can run the browser for that platform and load your web site to see how it will look.

I'm programming a web application for mobile and I use JQueryMobile.
You can have more informations here :

if you just want to quickly view how a webpage would render at various mobile device resolutions then synthphone.com is a nice little webpage...
http://synthphone.com
you can even link directly to a url via query strings. for example, here is one that should load the Sencha Touch 2 carousel. Use your mouse like a finger to slide around the images etc.

have fun!

what are the rules for making mobile friendly website?

I would like to add value to my website that I have developed at the moment so that user can check on their mobile phone.
My questions:
Should I make different template for mobile version and full version one?
Like creating mobile.example.com for mobile version?
Does Opera Mini not support JavaScript? I have a mobile phone that has Opera Mini, it seems that JavaScript was not running. Do all Opera Mini not have JavaScript on it?
Does Opera Mini support full W3C standard HTML and CSS? Or do they have a different one?
Is there any emulator to view or test website in different mobile phones? For example: Iphone browser, Blackberry browser, WAP and Opera Mini.
Thank you!!!
Some websites offer an automatic conversion of your existing website. This converted, mobile friendly website can either be hosted at a new domain, or a "mask" can be applied over your existing site. Check out www.webtosmartphone.com, which easily converts basic websites automatically; a quick line of code and your website will be automatically resized and viewable in the most popular smart phones. If it is not converted automatically, you can request for a custom conversion.
It's up to you whether you want to make two different websites for mobile and non-mobile devices. However, if you do so, make sure to have a link from the mobile site to the full site to enable users to switch to it.
Opera Mini does support Javascript which certain restrictions (eg. on asynchronous operations). Be aware that Opera Mini uses a proxy based approach and the JS is executed on Opera's servers which imposes certain restrictions. Plugins like Adobe Flash are not supported.
Basically, Opera Mini supports the same standards as Opera Desktop since they share the same rendering engine (Opera Presto). However, due to device restrictions, some features like CSS rounded corners are not available in Mini. See Opera Mini 5 standards support for more information, but know that meanwhile Opera Mini uses Opera Presto 2.4, the rendering engine used in Opera Desktop 10.53.
For testing websites in Opera Mini, try MicroEmulator which is Open Source and comes with a resizable skin that allows you to emulate different screen sizes.
Hope that helps :)
You should most definitely adapt your output for mobile devices when the content is accessed via a mobile device. Whether you will do it by separating the mobile presentation on a subdomain or a special folder or not is totally irrelevant.
/ 3. Mobile is way more than just Opera Mini. Various mobile device browsers support various degrees of rich content (JavaScript, CSS etc.) You should look into detecting what features are supported by the visitors browser/device and serve the appropriately rich/"poor" content. You should take a look at WURFL and Device Atlas which are two main databases of mobile device useragents which allow you to serve only the content that the useragent can consume.
There are many emulators out there, some better and some worse, that emulate various mobile device browsers. Off the top of my head, the two I've used are Yo Space SmartPhone Emulator (website broken atm) and Mobi TLD's emulator. There are also vendor specific (Nokia, SE) developer tools you should be able to find that emulate the vendor's devices.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are the way to accomplish this. It does mean that you will need to review your site's use of HTML tables, and convert into a CSS based design.
The CSS Zen Garden is an excellent resource for showing what is possible.
A resource to convert your current
site into a mobile device friendly
format is Skweezer.com. Simply enter
your website's URL, and it will
display your website in a
mobile-friendly version by removing
large images, CSS styles and page
elements that will not display
properly. You can use this as a
template, or starting point, for
making a mobile CSS profile for the
site. To provide an alternative CSS
stylesheet for users with mobile
devices, insert the following code in
the head of an HTML document:
<link href="/css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="handheld" />

How do I test a website design on a mobile device?

I have designed my site with a 900 x 600 fixed background image. On the computer it looks fine. How will it look on a PDA device? Will I have to design it separately for PDA?
How should check whether my site can be browsed effectively from mobile phone?
What should I do?
Try using Opera's "small screen" view (View > Small Screen). This does a pretty decent job of simulating a mobile screen. Try it on Opera's own site. Note that they use a "handheld" type stylesheet that kicks-in when you're viewing on a handheld or switch to small screen mode.
You can download Google's Android SDK for free to test on.
To test on iPhone, see the iPhone Tester. There's a button on the bottom-right to rotate the iPhone into its widescreen state.
The OpenWave Phone Simluator is supposed to be good.
You can try the mobi online emulator.
The Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Smartphone contains "Windows Mobile 5.0 based Smartphone Device Emulator images & skin files"
Finally, some general guidance: Web Content Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a Web Site Accessible Both for People with Disabilities and for Mobile Devices
Instead of browser detection, you can supply alternative stylesheets for handheld devices. With
<link rel="stylesheet" href="small.css" type="text/css" media="handheld">
The advantage is that you only need one version of your site, the difference lies in the stylesheets. You need one additional css, while with browser detection you would need different versions of every page in your site. The downside is that not all browsers support the media attribute for stylesheets. But the most modern browsers do, and the support for it is growing.
If you are interested, I recommend having a look at an A List Apart article.
BTW, if you are not using css yet, switch to it immediately, no matter which solution for your problem you choose. CSS rocks!
You can also get device emulators for the Blackberry range of machines.
Well, you could always throw some detection javascript in there to check the type of browser, then redirect to a different site that is formatted for mobile devices. This seems to be the norm for most sites.
Examples:
Digg.com
Twitter.com
Google.com
