Re: Developing Web App in Cordova for Windows and build .click package for Ubuntu Touch

 

Hi David,

thank you for your answer.

It's possible to add ubuntu as platform in Cordova for Windows? This is not possible, right? I know that for building a Cordova app for Ubuntu requires an Ubuntu system. I'm looking for an easy way to export my web-app project from Cordova for Windows, to Cordova for Ubuntu. Exists a method?

Thank you,
Marco

Marco,

Ubuntu is a supported target platform for Cordova.

From the CLI, just do:
cordova platform add ubuntu

Take a look at the Cordova Guide here as well, to make sure you have the right click chroot installed prior to building for the phone. https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/apps/html-5/guides/cordova-guide/

And keep us posted on #ubuntu-webapps on irc.

    Hi Rodney,

    thank you for your answer.

    Yes, an Ubuntu Web App is a contained browser viewing, and I know
    that in Ubuntu SDK the "HTML5 apps" are the right kind of project
    (template) for a Web App.
    But I'm looking for a method to fill the contained browser viewing
    automatically because I developed a Web App in Cordova (for
    Windows), and now I want to create the same Web App for Ubuntu
    Touch. The only way that I discovered to port this app in Ubuntu
    SDK, consists in cutting and pasting the code inside the contained
    browser viewing of Ubuntu SDK HTML5 project (see the picture
    attached) . I have to paste the code in the right position, inside
    head or body tags, and this is not really user friendly method,
    and it's slow.

    Is there a method in Ubuntu SDK to import a Cordova Web App
    project (developed in Windows)?
    I have all the  project source code, can Ubuntu SDK import a
    project developed in Cordova for Windows?

    Thank you,
    Marco

        The HTML 5 apps in the Ubuntu SDK are what you are asking
        about, and
        also are built using Cordova, as I understand. It should be
        possible to
        start with your existing code.

            Hi list,

            I just realized a Web App using Cordova for Windows.
            Cordova permit
            me
            to build an installation package for "Windows Phone" and
            "Android"
            devices.

            I know that to create a .click package the development
            platform
            should
            be an Ubuntu Desktop, so I need to rewrite all the Web App
            source
            code
            in Ubuntu SDK, or there's an easy way to export the
            project from
            Cordova
            for Windows to Ubuntu SDK kit?

            I asked a question in "Ask Ubuntu", if you want you can answer
            there:
