Video Screencast of Apps BB10

It has occurred to me that the creation of a screencast and including in an application would be a great way to help users learn how to use an application - what features are there, are the means to accomplish things, etc..

To do this, however, we would need to be able to record a screencast.

Others have understood how to do this?  Probably there should be a way to do it, although perhaps no applications exist for such a thing. (otherwise, it's sad)

Another thought I had would be to save the screencast on the PC using the Simulator and appropriately of cultures?

You're probably right... even though I'm a little surprised to hear that it is probably impossible to less than in the application itself.  But perhaps this is the case. (which would also explain the lack of applications to the recording of screencasting)  Too bad.

In any case do on the PC with the standard screencasting software and then cropping to the Simulator screen seem to work OK.  Some problems are that my monitor is not really big enough to display the full vertical resolution of the Z10, but this isn't a show stopper - just use the controller to largest possible zoom, and video have expanded a little when displayed on the Z10.

To make it work I needed to use the media player ForeignWindow approach, otherwise the invoke method to display video results in action of the Media Player bar to hide the action bar, which is registered as part of the video. (as a title at the top in obscuring some upstairs)

Other outstanding issues are that a raw screencast shows the user what actions are carried out. (tap, kick, pinch, etc.)  I assumed that resolve, it would be necessary to implement a display system of gesture for their application, so that they are displayed on the screen when they occur. Which might not be too hard, but not sure.

Also, having the cursor of the Simulator shown in the screencast is a little ugly, but not a showstopper.

Finally, it has occurred to me especially in an app screencast tutorials has the major drawback to inflate the size of the application for users who download it.  It would be a shame to increase the size of an application of a few MB up to perhaps 100 MB if you include a decent number of screencast tutorials.  To get around this, they could be put on YouTube, but then you lose the ability to play in the media player and have to follow the path of a control to display Web pages, etc, which is a bit tedious.  A final approach would be to put the MP4 files on a web server and direct control of Media Player for them there.  I actually tried, but the video would not play for some reason any. I probably have something wrong... alternative, I might have a little bit of code download manually download the screencast and display a progress bar while takes place, and then play locally as before. This way you can keep the screencast files locally once they are uploaded so that they could be monitored later without any re - download.

Not sure what the ideal solution is for this kind of thing...

  • Video ads (games, apps)

    It is apparently rare and many people would consider it a blessing, but I'm not.

    First of all, the "technicals". I have an iPad Pro. 12-inch screen. A Wi - fi connection only. My iOS is updated. It's games apps and not Safari.

    In all games applications that I use, there is a possibility to view a video advertising in order to gain a small advantage in the game. Sometimes it's extra energy, sometimes it's a double benefit, you get the point. With perfect my home Wi - fi connectivity, I can browse web pages and watch countless videos on Youtube, but the ability to view video ads on these gaming applications are greyed out for me. I tried to simply reset my device, remove the ad blocker aps I've used both and wait more than 30 minutes in my game to let the videos to load, but the options remained gray (so not selectable).

    Any idea on why that might happen?

    Hello

    After you disable first blockers, it can help to close the game application, restart your iPhone, and then restart the game application.

    To force the application to close: double-click the Home button, and then drag upward on the preview of the app.

  • Can I remove video iCloud iTunes App TV series?

    I am able to delete the movie to appear in my app video iTunes when they are not currently downloaded on my iPad? In other words, can I remove old and already deleted of the icloud television so that I can relieve my videos? Once again, here are the shows I have already removed from my iPad and are simply suspended in the cloud to redownload if I want them in the future. It is my understanding that Apple can only delete these my purchase history. Is this correct? Thank you!

    No, they can't be removed historic purchases all the. However, you have two options to do not see:

    1. go to settings > Videos and disable "Show iTunes purchases. Turning off this option will cause only downloaded television showing on your device (e.g., mask most videos that are in iTunes in the cloud)

    or

    2. go to the iTunes Store on your computer and click on TV Shows. Then click on "All". Once you see seasons and shows if displayed, you can place the cursor on the top left corner of the cover Art and click the 'x' to hide the show:

  • < img > image not cached in app BB10 Webworks

    Hello

    Is there some configuration setting, that I need to use to get Webworks (on BB10) to cache images served from a server?

    I have a BB10 Webworks app that dynamically adds and remove the DOM html.  Images referenced in items loading as expected, but if the item is removed from the DOM, and later added again, Webworks reloads the image file from the server, rather than using a cached version.  (I can watch what is happening in the Web Inspector).

    If I run the code in a browser, Chrome on Windows, it behaves correctly, by using the cached copy of the image when the new item is added to the Dom.

    The frequency from the server HTTP headers are:

    Cache-Control, must-revalidate
    Content-length: 1730
    Content-Type: image / jpeg
    Date: Mon, 21 October, 2013 21:18:34 GMT

    So, with response codes above, Chrome set cache the image as expected, while the BB10 Webworks reload from the server each time (no caching).

    I'm running on a version of the software Blackberry Z10, model number STL100-3, 10.1.0.4181, and the app is created using Blackberry 10 Webworks SDK 1.0.4.11.

    My apologies for the confusion.  The purpose of qnx is only available in a native extension running inside the app - not directly from JavaScript running in your application.

    Here is an example of an extension that uses the qnx object:

    Specific location where it is used:

    https://github.com/BlackBerry/WebWorks-community-APIs/BLOB/master/BB10/PreventSleep/ext/community.PR...

    What is your comfort level write / using native extensions?  You will need to create your own, to interact with this API.

  • How to track the total number of downloads of my app BB10

    Hello

    I'm not sure of this is the right section to post in, but it's the best I could find.

    I want to track the total number of downloads of my BB10 APP on the blackberry world. Download report is very simplistic and just generates a chart leaving me count manually. I tried also to export the data to download to Excel. While this works, it is a bit heavy. Is there another way for me to be able to view these data easily right now? Or do we have to wait for the SDK analytical tool to be made available for BB10?

    Thank you

  • in the video of Youtube app

    Hello

    I'm back with another problem. Good so this time, my problem is with the video to youtube. My application supports support android and fire (kindle devices) bones of api level 9 at the level of the api 19. I have the Youtube video that appear in my application using mainly the youtube api android. When the Youtube api cannot be used in circumstances where the Youtube app is not installed on a device (e.g. Kindle) I replace the Youtube player with a webview view and then load the video Youtube in an iframe using the below code (edited)

    private static String loadIframe (String videoId) {}
    iframe ="";
    iframe += ""http://www.youtube.com/embed/ ' + videoId + '? ' " rel = 0 & fs = 0"frameborder =-'0' > ';
    "iframe +=".";
    return the iframe;
    }

    This approach works perfectly on all devices with or without the installed Youtube app android and it works on kindle devices as well, but fails with my playbook. When the application is run the device is correctly detected as a blackberry device and view the Youtube player is then replaced by the Web mode. But the video does not load and I'm greeted by the error message webview that the page cannot be loaded. If I can't use this approach to see the video for in my application which can do? I really don't want to use the intention to open the Youtube video in a web browser, because I want to keep my users within my application and to be honest that I do not know if I can use the intentions like this with Blackberry devices. How do deal with the guys in the Youtube video. Any advice?

    Thank you

    I should have! Once more, this isn't a question of BlackBerry it is a question of gingerbread. Once I realized this I solved the problem by changing the line of code that I use to load the iframe in loadData() to loadDataWithBaseUrl() Web view. Simple, now play my video on android devices, kindle devices and blackberry devices. Great!

  • Add 450 MB of video with BB app

    Hello

    I would like to add about 450 MB of video with my BB app.  want to know if BB will support this model 4.2 to 4.7

    can someone please comment on this topic

    Thank you

    sujithravindran.

    As ydaraishy and wacky said, it is not possible.

    Unlike the iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile, BlackBerry has restrictions of size on applications. It's speed (download, installation, removal, loading, etc.) the application and because BlackBerry stores requests in a separate memory location which is more important, I don't know of 128 MB. Second COD files are limited to 64 KB of code and 64 k of resources. No more and the COD is divided into several cod, with a 450 MB video that would give you a minimum of 7200 cod. Most BlackBerry is more then a few hundred, or even more than 7000 for a single application.

    Your options are, as ydaraishy has stated, to install it on the SD card or to listen to. If you do not have a server, you can always find web free sites of storage there, put your file and have your app login and download the media file.

  • Music/video Windows 8 app is no longer detect content iTunes after an update of nonsense

    Hello

    Using Windows 8 since I got my first gen Surface Pro 128 GB. Due to the low built-in storage available (I went from a 500 GB SSHD to a 128 GB SSD), I decided to get a 64 GB MicroSD card and transfer my library downloads, music and videos on it. At first, it doesn't seem to work as Windows Media Player was not recognizing the MicroSD card correctly contents. That was solved by creating a mount point for my MicroSD to the root of my C: drive and settle the island and video libraries.
    Everything worked as expected in Windows media player and the underground music and video apps. Then, after some unknown update (there were several Windows and subway applications between when the time I used the metro apps), I was no longer able to use apps metro play my iTunes audio/video AND no content were applications detecting music/videos that were not in my iTunes library. WTF has Microsoft done again?
     
    Maybe I need to put modern apps as my default player for them to detect my content? Because it is similar to the beast move that Microsoft made to force users to keep that as their default browser (which does not affect me much); to use the metro to know version, you must set it as your default browser.

    Hello

    Have you tried to create a VHD/XVHD on the MicroSD card and mount this virtual hard disk on your computer? This should solve the problems you should meet about memory 'external' vs local drivespace.
