I need a calendar-App-like UI component in my App. I mean, not necessarily nice and complex like the calendar App, but close enough.
Is there something similar and possibly open source?
Frameworks, API, libraries, snippets and so on?
(I say iPad on purpose, not iPhone! I know there are good solutions for iPhone, already)
I know this one
https://github.com/ocrickard/OCCalendar
But I'm not sure if you can customise everything you need.
Hope it help
I am not entirely sure what you are looking for but Apple has some good documentation on Event Kit UI frameworks. This would allow you to navigate and use basic calendar functions.

I am wanting to render a short piece of animation on the splash screen of my CN1 app but am struggling.
The Lottiefiles website contains a lot of good animation content, but the closest example i can find to using it is within XCode. I have the downloaded JSON file, of the animation, but am wanting to know if anyone has figured a way of incorporating into a CN1 Java app?
I can see that developers have used in Java, but CN1 wouldn't allow the LottieAnimationView component on it's layout manager i would guess.

Any pointers appreciated. Thanks
The "right way" would probably be to wrap the native implementations for the various OS's in a cn1lib so you can use lottie in a cross platform way. There's a long tutorial about wrapping native code in the developer guide and Steve did a 3 part video series on the subject a few years back: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/integrating-3rd-party-native-sdks-part-3.html
It's mostly mechanical so it shouldn't be too hard. If you want to take a shortcut you can probably use the web version of the API in a BrowserComponent and call it a day.
I need someone that can explain to me what is Epsilon Framework is all about? I have a friend that just purchased two mobile tempalates at ThemeForest site which is Clean Mobile and Glovebox theme.
So then when i studied his source code, i realize the title on the html page says "Epsilon Framework 2.0" and the script src use the something like "framework.plugins.js". It may be weird but i like the templates has been designed especially for mobile. However, when i search for this framework in google, i don't find any homepage about it and all i found only the demo of this plugin and some non-related stuff.
Therefore, can someone tells me what is this framework really is? The code looks clean and i really want to learn it if possible. If someone ever used these sort of plugins, can you tell me where can i find the docs and is it an open source?
Here's the link towards that mobile template i talked about.
Clean Mobile
GloveBox 3D
Thank you.
I'm really enjoying learning to use AngularJS. Now I'm looking for components I can use with it. I've been looking at Angular-UI components but I'd like to know if it's possible to use the nice, supercharged components in ExtJS. Does anyone have experience with this? Any hints or tips or Angular directive libraries?
The company I work for is making a similar move. We currently rely heavily on an older version (3.x) of ExtJS, and the effort to upgrade to the current (5.0) version is at least equal to the effort required to move to angular.
To answer the question (to the best of my limited knowledge):
They can exist together in the same JS application.
Can you use UI elements of ExtJs with Angular?
You can put angular in control of markup via HTML templates in Ext.
Is this a wise idea?
Probably not.
Why would I consider doing this?
I need absolute control over the markup and don't care about possible page load issues
I need to serialize or de-serialize in some special way that Ext doesn't innately provide
I need to do something special like pub/sub (still totally possible with Ext)
In our case, it is a proof of concept for a few modals. If I am biased, I am biased in the direction of ExtJs (which is a huge statement given my background). The more exposure I have to ExtJS, the more I personally like it. I've used several frameworks in the past like Ember, Backbone, KnockoutJs and AngularJs and they are excellent tools that are reaching a level of maturity that makes them excellent choices. That said, they don't follow the same development model/pattern that ExtJs does, and I don't think a direct compare is fair to either side.
It would be almost like comparing Ext to Node (silly, I know).
If your project requires some special functionality that you don't believe is possible in Ext, you are probably like me and have limited experience with it. If you have a lot of experience with Ext, and want to try what we are trying, I say go for it. The single downfall of Ext is the size of the built package that is delivered. Another small framework isn't going to help that, but it also isn't going to cause more pain.
In the end, for me, I just love JS and expanding my knowledge of how things work now and in the future.
For the post above asking about the lack of traction for Ext: the answer is simple... it's not free, and thus not an option for many of us who aren't writing commercial software that fits well with the license.
In our AngularJS app at work, we have integrated a 3rd party ExtJS app with it, not for its UI components though. We open certain popups of that app based on user input and when the user commits data in the popup, we respond to ExtJs events to refresh our app. AngularJS is flexible enough to integrate with any other Javascript code/libraries as long as the library has public events to respond to. I would recommend going through the Directive and scope documentation on how to effectively create directives and respond to scope events.
Personally I do not feel ExtJS and AngularJS would be needed together, unless you are forced to use it like me. There is http://angular-ui.github.io/ that brings in a lot to the table. Again any given JQuery plugin can be integrated using directives, filters etc in AngularJS. So you may want to investigate into that before trying to bother with ExtJS.
Why do you need AngularJS anyway if you have ExtJS? I agree learning Ext can be somewhat difficult though once you've bitten through it there is nothing better at the moment. The only disadvantage is the heavier footprint but who cares? It's not like it's causing any problems... We use nothing but ExtJS at work and the progress in our apps is amazing. It integrates seamlessly with Spring MVC. We don't need to hack in HTML directly which I consider more of an advantage than a disadvantage: no more writing tags, no more open/close tag issues, you can still use css and Ext handles any browser incompatibilities so what else do you need more?? Angular is just the new kid on the block but in total it can not (yet) compete with ExtJS. It doesn't even com close. Just my 2$.
Sencha is planning to add support in the framework. Please find the link at the bottom for reference:
At SenchaCon in Las Vegas on November 7-9 2016, Sencha will be introducing the ability to use Ext JS components, layouts, and themes within an Angular 2 application, which we are currently calling the Ext JS Bridge to Angular 2 (also known as ‘The Bridge’).

Don't get me wrong, I like iGoogle and use it.
But for intranet site, why anyone would use iGoogle or Apache-Shindig which is foss implementation of iGoogle platform.
OK, boss likes look of iGoogle widgets/gadgets and fact that he can drag them around the page. But you can do this with say ExtJS library.
So are there any benefits of iGoogle platform in case you would use only for yourself and your own gadgets. I see only complicatins and unneccesary stuff if I compere iGoogle(apache-shindig) with extJs, which also provides somekind of draggable widgets.
Best regards
extJs is a javascript library for creating a UI. I assume the iGoogle and Shindig platforms are actual web server based applications (that happen to have a UI similar to what you could built with extJS)
After some googling I think a portlets are what I need.
If I understand corectly portlets are Java specific but you can do same thing in other languages and frameworks.
Ext JS is a nice framework for web UI, but I found that building and putting stuff together takes a long time and painfully slow.
This might be a general problem when working with JavaScript, but does anybody have any way to speed things up?
What can I use? Better IDE with good JavaScript suppport? GUI designers? Code generators?
I need some way to speed up common things like building grids and forms but yet let me do complex things like creating custom components easily.
I'm using ASP.NET MVC. Coolite seems nice at first, but I feel that I'll be having trouble when creating any custom components later on.
There's always Ext GWT, which lets you use Eclipse tooling (and all of the advantages that gives you, such as refactoring, swift code navigation, etc.) to create your Ext/JavaScript app.
When you download the ExtJs library, you find lot of sample applications for common requirements like Grid panel, forms, form elements etc.
Regarding IDEs, you dont find mature productive tools, but check the below link and wish it could be of help to you
http://www.extjs.com/blog/2008/02/01/ides-plugins-and-tools-for-ext-js-20/
But if you really wish to develop custom components, you need to get through knowledge,start approaching with ExtJs-provided sample apps.
If you want to get faster at anything, practice it until you fully understand how it works and how to make it do what you want. If you are just starting out, why would expect to be able to work as quickly as you do when you are working on something that you are very familiar with?
Things I use to make ExtJS less painful
Chrome, for it's developer tools, or Firefox with Firebug.
snipMate: snippets for Vim, so I can quickly produce boiler plate code for classes.
JSLint as a command line tool. Especially good for detecting rogue commas.
Sencha forums.
ExtJS IRC chat (Server: irc.freenode.net Room: #extjs).
API documentation.
Sencha and Saki's ExtJS examples.
Beer.
ExtJS is building a designer right know so you can look forward it, the only problem I think is not gonna be free.
you can see a video demo there, in term of release date I think this is due to the first quarter of this year.
I say learn the framework. But to develop apps, I use IntelliJ IDEA, which has partial code completion, etc. It costs money though.
Once you have some practice and understanding of how ExtJS works, you'll get faster at it. By using the examples for reference, and building up my application in small pieces, I've gotten much better (and faster) at developing stuff with ExtJS. A great way to get started is to find an example (or two) that kind of do what you need, and modify (or combine) them to see how they work together.
