I want to try using trigger.io.
We have a Web App and using GAE.
How can we test our Web App with trigger.io?
I see that on the "WEB" section of the toolkit there's only a spot for "Heroku".
Is it possible?
Do we need to migrate?
How can i test our web app with android? I couldn't find a place to direct it to our index.html.
Thanks a lot.
The web section in the Toolkit basically lets you deploy your mobile app as a mobile website, based on Node.js.
If you have an existing web app that you'd like to use as the backend for a mobile app, then it's a case of exposing some sort of HTTP API which your mobile app then interacts with.
Having the mobile app just receive JSON from GAE, build its HTML views and present them to the user works really well.

So after too many searches I decided to ask this question.
First of all I'm building a mobile app using angularjs in my website (Online) not localhost. The app is a kind of a CRM based (CRUD mostly).
I have the cordova mobile application ready. I have a few questions here.
Is it acceptable, if I use the website URL directly in the inappbrowser URL (Like an iframe)?
Or. Should I need to put the angularjs files inside the www directory of the cordova app and access the server functions via API?
Which way is preferable? Why?
Will there be any performance differences?
If the No.1 is not a best practice, what is the major drawback on using the inappbrowser?
You can build Hosted Web App in an Apache Cordova:
For this scenario, you use a thin Cordova client (think of it as a web
browser embedded in a native app) that automatically redirects to your
Web site.
See also: Wrapping an existing web application in Cordova.
Other option: PWA.
From Wiki:
Progressive web applications (PWAs) are web applications that load
like regular web pages or websites but can offer the user
functionality such as working offline, push notifications, and device
hardware access traditionally available only to native applications.
PWAs combine the flexibility of the web with the experience of a
native application.
I am working on my Django project which is going to be a Web App and REST Api for the mobile app.
I am using Django Rest Framework to build the API for the mobile app and it is going pretty good. I like it. For this part, I have a separate app within my Django project. Let's call it 'api'.
What I also want to do, is a web app. Let's call it 'webapp' in my Django project. So basically, web version of the mobile app, with a few different functionalities (e.g. different user/account management) for a slightly different part of the audience. Obviously, the majority of the models that I need, as well as logic are already there in the 'api' app. Also, I want to use Angularjs for the front end of the web app.
My question is what is the best path to take here? Should I create a separate app for my web app and copy the majority of views.py logic, which again will reference models and serializers from the 'api' app in the project? Or should I adjust my existing 'api' app to handle requests from both mobile phones and web app? Thank you.
You can follow link. I also follow that link when started angularjs, django and django-reset-framework.
Say I have an existing mobile app built on Ionic. Now I need to have a website version of the app so users can access it via desktop too.
Is there any documentation that suggest this is possible?
I think you're looking for Progressive Web Apps. Ionic does cater for such, just google for the term "Ionic PWA" example below.

hi i develope a mobile app with phonegap frame work and html5,erything works fine but for future exist i need to connect my app to server db to make app multi-user. rit now i just create a local storage by using js which store all the user data in perticular local storage? what are the options i have to make the db server connected do web services work with this if so what kind of service i need to use. itried for few web services but all they are related to web applications. plzz help me thanku
Your phonegap App is like a Web App. The advantage that your phonegap app has over Web App, is that you can access native features (camera, Contact, etc..) of the phone with phonegap, which is not possible with a pure webapp. So all the backend services that you can use with web app can be used by your phonegap app.
Now which web servcies you want to uses depends upon your preference.
You can use web services or RESTful service for getting data from the backend.
I am about to build a mobile app using html5 with phonegap. So that i can easily install it on any platform. Android, Blackberry or ios.
I want this app to be able to perform CRUD - in close connection with my joomla site.
The Joomla site is already completed, its a social network. I need this app to be able to retrieve information such as profile pictures, messages e.t.c and then be able to upload pictures, send messages and use the geolocation api.
My question is i dont know how to make the app connect or communicate with my Joomla db.
Well i found the answer, just in case anyone needs it.
To build a mobile using Joomla as the server, what you need is
1. Jquery
2. Build an extension on your Joomla site
3. Using the jquery ajax methods + Joomla's native method to provide data in Json format, you can build an api to send and receive data from your mobile app to your joomla website.
