Simpler bidirectional communication between JavaScript in a UIWebView and C# in your native app.

jsbridge's Issues

NullReferenceException in JsBridge.cs

Hi,

when I run your example project in the iPhone 5.1 simulator with MonoTouch, I get a null reference exception in JsBridge, line 269. Stepping in via the debugger, I can see "Client" is null.

I'm running:

MonoDevelop 3.0.3.2
Monotouch: 5.2.12
Mono 2.10.9 (tarball)
Xcode 4.3.2 (1177)
Mac OS X 10.7.4

Any ideas?

Thanks

Working with https web pages

Hi,

We are using JsBridge Unified library on Xamarin iOS app to communicate between web page and native functionality. We have a UIWebView which renders a web page and it invokes camera from device to scan a bar code. The library was working fine until we were serving http pages. Recently, we changed them to https and now it is not firing AddEventListener function to invoke camera.

Does this library prevents calls coming from https? Do we need to make any change in the app handle https requests?
I also added NSAllowsArbitraryLoads = True flag in Info.plist
We really appreciate your help
Thanks

mt.js uses synchronous calls - is there a reason for this?

Excellent library here!

One thing I've noticed is that mt.js appears to send all requests synchronously, resulting in thread blocking. In our case, it's very noticeable with a HTML5 slider control, that calls Mt.App.fireEvent many times in succession as its dragged.

Is there a reason that this couldn't be modified to make requests asynchronously instead?

JSBridge doesn't work for Razor views

Hi,

I'm attempting to use this cool library in an app that users Razor views (which is a very cool feature of Xamarin) however I don't seem to be able to get it working.

Looking at the code, it seems that it because JSBridge uses a protocol handler, perhaps it cannot work with LoadHtmlString, and instead needs an actual request ?

A workaround might be for me to save my razor generated HTML as a file on disk and then load it, but seems like it might be slow. Or I could have a basic HTML file then load in via the JSBridge the rest of the DOM generated from Razor?

Just wondering if I'm missing something and there's actually a way for it to work easily?

Thanks!

Js Bridge is not woking for JS to C# call

Hi,
I had set up the jsBridge Componene for my xamarin.Ios App. I am able to call the javascript frpm C# in ViewDidLoad event. But i am unable to get through the call from JS to C#.Please find the code snippet below

UIViewController.cs

public override void ViewDidLoad ()
{
base.ViewDidLoad ();

        //// load our local index.html file 
        // get path to file.

// string path = NSBundle.MainBundle.PathForResource( "www/index", "html" );
// // create an address and escape whitespace
// string address = string.Format("file:{0}", path).Replace( " ", "%20" );
string fileName = "www/index1.html"; // remember case-sensitive
string localHtmlUrl = Path.Combine (NSBundle.MainBundle.BundlePath, fileName);
webView.LoadRequest(new NSUrlRequest(new NSUrl(localHtmlUrl, false)));
webView.ScalesPageToFit = false;

        webView.LoadFinished += (object sender, EventArgs e) => {
            this.webView.FireEvent( "doBrowserStuff", new {
                Message = "The Native code says hi back. ;)",
                Extra = "more properties",
                Success = true
            });




        };
        // be sure to enable JS Bridge before trying to fire events.


        this.webView.AddEventListener( "doNativeStuff", delegate(FireEventData arg) {
            Console.WriteLine("doNativeStuff Callback:");   
            Console.WriteLine(arg.Data["msg"]);

            // trigger doBrowserStuff event in browser.

        });

        // listen for the nativeSheet event triggered by the browser.
        /*webView.AddEventListener( "nativeSheet", delegate(FireEventData arg) {

             show a native action sheet
            BeginInvokeOnMainThread (delegate { 
                var sheet = new UIActionSheet ( "Your Action Sheet" );
                sheet.AddButton ( arg.Data["msg"].ToString() );
                sheet.AddButton ( "Cancel" );
                sheet.CancelButtonIndex = 1;
                sheet.ShowInView ( View );
            });

        });*/


        // Perform any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

Index.HTML

    <title></title>
    <script src="js/mt.js"></script>

    <script>


        Mt.App.addEventListener('doBrowserStuff', function(data) {

            alert('hi');

                //alert(data.Message);
            });

        window.onload = function(e) {


            Mt.API.info( 'log "loaded" call on native side' );
            alert('window load');

            // listen for doBrowserStuff event triggered from native code.


            // fire doNativeStuff in native code.
        //  Mt.App.fireEvent('doNativeStuff', { 
          //      msg: 'Hi, this msg is from the browser.',
            //    extra: 'You can send more then one property back',
              //  answer: 42
            //});

        };

        // do this, to write console log calls to Native 
        //    NOTE: this is overridden in next statement, just here to show you how to do it.


    </script>

</head>
<body>
<div role="main">
        <p>Loading MonoTouch JsBridge Demo...</p>
        <a href="javascript:Mt.App.fireEvent('doNativeStuff', { msg: window.prompt(' Enter a cool name for you action ') });">Click Me to show a Native Action Sheet</a>
    </div>

Seems that JsBridge not working with Xamarin.iOS Version: 6.2.7.1

After loading example i see only white screen on IPhone simulator 6.1. Something bad happens after registering custom NSUrlHandler. canInitWithRequest method called but GetCanonicalRequest and StartLoading never called.

Any help would be appreciated.

Unified Api support

Just wondered if this will support the new unified api within xamarin ?

AddEventListener Application Crash

Hello Team,

I am currently using the D3 Graph in my Xamarin.iOS project. While plotting the graph on UIWebView I am adding Event Listener through AddEventListener method. But this method is calling multiple time as I visit the respective controller. So while we are switch between the controller, the application gets crash showing the below StackTrace.
