Hybrid apps and compatibility

[Jakuje]

Recently i tried to make hybrid apps working on my old Pre (new Pre 3 is broken) and I'm unable to achieve it. I tried sample FileTree with Enyo and nothing works. Nor this from App hack:

HP webOS Developer Blog

I have tried to hard reset all data, webOS doctor device with 2.1 version, but nothing changed.

I had to change path to Enyo framework in index.html from 0.10 version to 1.0 to make enyo working, but in log i can see only this

for app from App Hack

I'm getting little bit confused I'm trying to solve this last months and I can't move from this spot to get to work on my app. Is there possibility in some kind broken system? Incompatibility with old Pre? Or something else?

I don't know where your issue is (and I'm not really sure that I understood what you wrote). But for the messages in from the log that you posted: You can ignore them. Tellurium is some service (I don't remember what for) that exists only on TP and is not existent on any Phone (i.e. the message should have popped up on Pre3, too) when they try to run enyo 1.0 apps. It is loaded with enyo 1.0 by default... but it doesn't matter that it fails.

So that is not your issue. I hope that helped.
Did you compile the c++ part of the app?

[Jakuje]

Nope. Sorry for my little chaotic message, but my problem is in that thing, that the hybrid apps doesn't work and there are no other errors in log or nowhere and I can't find the reason why. And now I don't have any other phone in usable condition to test on. FileTree, for example, worked on Pre 3 without problems.

I can add, that process of plugin IS in processlist (ps -ax), but in log, there are no messages about communication with plugin (PluginReady). Only "create" and "clicked".

Is there any other way how to investigate what is happening, what's wrong and what to do? Plugin is surely ok. I can run it from commandline on device.

[Jakuje]

Or if there is any other way to restart/repair system, then webOS doctor and reset&clear data from "Device Info".

Hybrid apps have been available since the beginning. Just not in the app catalog until 2.x, due to a fault of Palm that they would not fix.

Does it work in the emu?

I'm unable to compile sources for emulator. My Code Sourcery doesn"t have appropriate gcc to run it in emulator. And I never found where I can these GCC get from.

App should be ok, as it is example from HP install.

[Jakuje]

Any ideas?

I can attach my ipk package, if anyone can test it on device, if there is not a problem in my computer or install, but it is really unlikely. Just rename *.zip to *.ipk and try to install. It is FileTree sample by HP and for me it doesn't loads list. Only log is from enyo part. Plugin doesn't response to anything.

Just I think, there was some bug with UTA update and with access to filesystem, but as I doctored my phone, it shouldn't apear. Am I right?

[Jakuje]

Hmm ... just received HP Pre 3 again and all works well. FileTree, TextToSpeech and everything.

Any ideas how to make it working on old Pre? I can develop on Pre 3, but I would like working app for Pre too ...

You need to install the Bing Maps update on your old Pre to get Enyo support or install Preware and get Enyo from there.

Enyo is of course installed with Bing Maps. Error about missing framework I could read from log and figure out. But it doesn't work through ...

Do you call __PDL_PluginStatusChange__ after you've called PDL_JSRegistrationComplete?

E.g.

PDL_JSRegistrationComplete();
const char *params[1];
params[0] = "ready";
PDL_CallJS("__PDL_PluginStatusChange__", params, 1);

This is only needed for <= webOS 2.1 but it seems it doesn't hurt if it's called twice (>= webOS 2.2[.4?]).

It could be the reason . I'll try it at home.
Is this documented somewhere or it is undocumented feature?

It was originally documented wrongly, the corrected documentation can be found in the latest git version of Enyo 1.0.

[Jakuje]

pcworld: Great thanks for you! It really works as expected.

I'm really annoyed, that it is not written anywhere and it is missing in all examples coming with SDK and PDK and it cost me so much time.
It must be written somewhere. I know, there is not much new webOS developers ... but it is really important for compatibility.
