RhoMobile versions

RhoMobile has a mainstream development branch which is forked for stable releases and further patches for them. Every major release is named by MAJOR.MINOR numbers with separate branch created for it ( for instance 6-1-stable ). After stable version is released patches are applied to it with increased PATCH number as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Patches may include bug fixes or back porting of some features ( new platforms support etc ). New functional features are usually not included to patches for previous releases. Version naming is mostly based on Semantic Versioning v2 spec ( https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html ) with some differences.

Current development builds versions always have increased MINOR number compared to already released stable version. Only latest development build usually should be actual for developers who want to use all latest features. For other users most recent stable release with applied patches is recommended.

Development builds does not have to end up in a stable branch. Instead, minor version number may be increased after certain amount of features is accumulated.

Development, Alpha and Beta releases have corresponding indication after PATCH value.

Example of RhoMobile release tree ( just for reference, it may not correspond to actual releases ):

6.1.0
  |  \
  |   6.1.1
  |   |
  |   6.1.2 - Previous supported stable/patched release. May lack some latest features.

Browser crash on Android 2.2

When testing "Multinasser" project (from RhoHub, user kaspernj) on LG Optimus 2X, Android 2.2 and Rhodes 3.1.0 (works perfectly with Rhodes 3.0.2) the app suddenly crashes with the following in the log:

I/BootReceiver( 1111): Copying /data/tombstones/tombstone_00 to DropBox (SYSTEM_TOMBSTONE)

find with conditions bug when qouting '?'

There is a bug with find when specifying a condition when I put the quotes around the ?.

model = Model.find(:first, :conditions => ["slug = '?'", slug])

returns nil even though the record exists, because if I then try to create it fails with a uniqueness constraint.

Model.create({:slug => slug})

I notice the following in the log output when doing the find (notice the extra space in the condition)

I/APP     (  281): I 05/19/2011 20:02:26:219 0020af00                  APP| condition_str : slug = 'arts '

I/APP     (  281): lib/rhom/rhom_object_factory.rb:1345:in `create'

However, if I move the qoutes around like such:

model = Model.find(:first, :conditions => ["slug = ?", "'#{slug}'"])

And the condition string log output (notice NO extra space in the condition):

I/APP     (  279): I 05/20/2011 11:21:36:325 002d12e0                  APP| condition_str : slug = 'arts'

The record is found and therefore I can do an update instead of a create.

Mac iPhone Issue - Rake Build not loading App in Simulator

( Copied from Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/rhomobile/browse_thread/thread/9cfb7e8f555b6bca )

Each time I try to run rake:iphone on a given application, no matter
what iphone simulator I specify (3.0, 3.1, 3.1.2, 4.0 etc), it runs, seems
to build fine, but loads the simulator without the application.

BB6.0 FullBrowser does not parse local resources

Following code works fine on bb6.0 with full_browser off, whereas no resource gets loaded if option is on.

Investigation shows that BrowserAdapter5$RhoProtocolController.handleResourceRequest does not handle well local resource (with no server:port information in url).

AsyncHTTP should allow PUT file uploads

AsyncHttp.upload_file is hardcoded to use POST and ignores the http_command parameter, and AsyncHttp.get/post do not evaluate the multipart parameter. Thus there is no way to upload a file via PUT.

The easiest solution would be to evaluate the http_command parameter.

changed_values is being written although sync_type is set to none

We have found an issue with rhodes-2.0.2 on the windows mobile platform where the data (using FixedSchema) after Model.save method is being duplicated to changed_values each save. With large volumes of data this table gets very large and program stops working.

Cannot find your Rhodes gem or source path.

I have placed the path for ruby also created env varaiable but it showing error below

If you have the sdk on your path or have installed the gem this
can be resolved by running 'set-rhodes-sdk'

You can also set this manually by modifying your build.yml or
setting the environment variable RHO_HOME

Iphone OS5 problem with AsyncHttp API call

We have an application which should download map archive in zip, and It seams that AsyncHttp API
download_file(:url, :headers, :filename, :callback, :callback_param) is unstable in IOS5, because we are getting a lot of

is not very stable untill now, and it gives suprising HTTP connection error.
The deal is that even when if we put :ssl_verify_peer – (optional) Verify SSL certificates, true by default to false.

Readme does not list Android, Symbian, etc.

My very first impression of this is that it does not support Android. It was only after further investigation that I discovered that it was indeed supported.

This readme does not do the product justice.

Rhodes leaves rhom database inoperable when failing to load prepopulated database on startup

Occurs in apps that include a prepopulated database in the db/res/db folder. When the app fails to extract the database from the package (like for example when the sqlite file is larger than 1 mb in Android <2.3 devices), rhodes is unable to "repair" the database as an empty one and there seems to be no runtime way to do this either for the app.

The database is completely broken, not even the sources table is present in these cases:

I/APP ( 251): I 09/28/2011 14:44:27:099 00000108 APP| exception when running query: could not prepare statement: 1; Message: no such table: sources

Suggestion: Ideally, there would be a way to check if the database was loaded succesfully and in case that it wasn't there would be a way to reset it to a clean database that could be populated from the existing models in the app for that partition.

relationship between 2 tables in Rhodes

I just start learning Rhodes, i think in difficult when using FixedSchema with database(SQLite) that have many tables.
Ex. I have 2 tables:

1. Class: Class_ID, Class_Name.
2. Students: Student_ID, Student_Name, Student_Address, Student_ClassID.
   First form will view list class, i try when selected a class it will get and view all students in that class.
   I try using belongs_to :Class_ID, 'Class' but not success.
   My question is: How to select all students in a class?

Pinch Zoom Not Working

It Seems in Rhodes the pinch zoom(zoom scaling on 2 finger touch) is not working on at least android devices with pinch zoom support.

Bar of black dead space at the bottom of the screen when disabling the toolbar

Added the AppApplication.initialize() extension with @@ToolBar = nil to completely disable the toolbar. That does disable the toolbar, but it leaves a dead black area at the bottom of the canvas.

Disabling the toolbar should not only hide it, but allow the real-estate to by used as part of the canvas.

Testing Rhodes v1.4.2, 1.5.0 on iPhone SDK 3.0.

WebSockets

How can use a websocket client like SocketI/O with rhodes?

Older (pre 1.9.2-p290) and duplicate extensions

A few extensions were not update to Ruby 1.9.2-p290 versions. I don't know if this was intentional or an oversight.

As well, duplicate files exist in net-http because new timeout and thread extensions were added. Again, I don't know if this was intentional or not. The files in net-http corresponding to the new extensions were NOT updated to 1.9.2-p290, even though the new extensions were.

I'm concerned that having two copies of the same library with different code could cause problems!

I noted some other out-of-date libraries, but these generally are ones that are modified by Rhodes.

Impact of removing duplicates would be documentation change requiring the extensions all be named in build.yml
when using net-http.

Duplicate libraries inside of net-http - consider for deletion?

thread.rb, monitor.rb (now in thread extension, and out-of-date in net-http)
timeout.rb (now in timeout extension and out-of-date in net-http)
uri.rb (has been in uri extension for some time)

Out-of-date extensions (confirmed with compare and lack of "migrate to Ruby 1.9.2-p290 checkin comment)

thread (thread.rb, monitor.rb)
fileutils
set
uri

Out-of-date, but have Rhodes modifications

These seem out of date, but have Rhodes mods, would need to determine impact

Support for Xcode 4.3.1

When running with Xcode 4.3.1, you get an error:
No such file or directory - /Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild

Since Xcode 4.3, xcodebuild is located at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild.
The best way to find the right home for xcodebuild is not to assume it is "/Developer" but to use the "xcode-select -print-path" command.

app generator and set-rhodes-sdk comments-out sdk: in build.yml

In 3.2.0 the app generator puts a comment character in front of sdk: in build.yml

Not sure if this is intentional. Will Rhodes find the sdk even though it is not specified? I noticed some new code in Rakefile that might be related to this? I was able to build for simulator even with this line commented. I didn't notice till I tried to go into the build.yml file in RhoStudio to modify it so I can test a newly-created app on a device.

As a consequence, though, Rhodes editor in RhoStudio can't parse the file. (Need >1.1 RhoStudio?)

Workaround is simply un-comment the sdk: line using standard editor.

link_to/url_for doesn't support arbritary parameters

link_to("some title", :action => "show", :id => "5", :other_param => "data")

The 'other_param' does not get passed through to the controller action!

Coming from rails, it's a bit surprising that it doesn't just tack on the extra params, instead it selectively picks the params it passes through.

The documentation should at least state what the supported params are.

System.exit is not working on Android when accessed through a link

The System API command "System.exit" has stopped working on Android when accessed through a link. I know it last worked in Rhodes 3.1.0, but since Rhodes 3.2.0 it throws the following exception (the stacktrace is from a Rhodes 3.2.2 application):

RhodesService | java.lang.RuntimeException:
Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()
    at android.os.Handler.<init>(Handler.java:121)
    at com.rhomobile.rhodes.RhodesApplication.stop(RhodesApplication.java:109)
    at com.rhomobile.rhodes.RhodesService.exit(RhodesService.java:622)
    at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method)

I have noticed that there only is a problem when the System.exit command is accessed through a link such as the cases below, whereas it works perfectly through render :back. It should also be noted that the menu action :close still works perfectly as well.

<a href="<%=url_for :controller => :Home, :action => :index, :query => {:act => 'exit'}%>"> ... </a>

<a href="<%=url_for :controller => :Home, :action => :exit %>"> ... </a>

def index
    action = @params['act']
    if action == 'exit'
      exit
    else
       # Do something else
       render :back => :exit
    end
end

def exit
  System.exit
end

call, email, sms APIs for Android not working(v3.0.0)

I am using Rhodes v3.0.0 and the call, email, sms APIs for Android are not working. When I call those APIs the phone vibrates and the app crashes.
I tried to build the app with Rhodes v2.4.1 and it works perfectly fine.

update rhodes-sugar-sample to 2.0

Support 2.0 version of rhodes.

Android keyboard overlaps page

On text-entry screens, the keyboard often overlaps much of the screen. Is there an easy way to prevent this?

screen rotation callback error in iphone

On screen rotation, the callback is returning Width=320 and Height=480 no matter how the phone/simulator is rotated(landscape/portrait).
I am using Rhodes v2.4.1.

Sometimes rake run:iphone produces a build that is not executable

Added this after line 866 in iphone.rake

     chmod 0744, File.join($simrhodes, "rhorunner.app", "rhorunner")

No idea why. Also my simulator doesn't always load. Seemed at first this was the reason but now I still experience the simulator not loading at the end of the rake task even though the app is executable. No clear pattern yet. Sometimes it works, other times not.

Rhodes plays local video issue

In http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#/library/safari/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/CreatingVideoforSafarioniPhone/CreatingVideoforSafarioniPhone.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006514-SW1

ios’ mobile safari require “HTTP servers hosting media files for iPhone OS must support byte-range requests, which iPhone OS uses to perform random access in media playback. ”

Maybe this cause rhodes couldn't play local video, or will you supply a demo of playing local video in api sample project?

201 response is marked as error

{"back"=>"", "email"=>"", "rho_callback"=>"1", "status"=>"error", "error_code"=>"2", "http_error"=>"201", "cookies"=>"_ ...........

Due to html standard 201 response is not an error

201 Created

The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URI for the resource given by a Location header field. The response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. The origin server MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the action cannot be carried out immediately, the server SHOULD respond with 202 (Accepted) response instead.

Error while install rhodes-3.2.2 gem on mac

Hi,

I'm getting the below error while installing latest version rhodes i.e 3.2.2 :

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
bad response Forbidden 403 (http://production.cf.rubygems.org/gems/rhodes-3.2.2.gem)

Please assist me to fix this issue as soon as possible.

render_transition and tabbar

When I use 'render_transition' in a HTTP callback it renders the view in the active tab and not on the tab where the Webservice was initiated.

In the simple example app posted here (http://www.box.net/shared/j3nga5l1hu), two controllers M1 and M2 are in a tabbar. If you click on the 'Start webservice' button in the tab1 and switch to tab2 and wait, you will see the 'render_transition' initiated view (from tab1 controller's webservice callback) appear inside tab2. If you switch to Tab1, it will still be showing the 'waiting' screen.

NativeBar.switch_tab(1) has bug on iphone

NativeBar.switch_tab(0) works fine, but when parameter is not 0, tab switched view won't render correctly.

NativeBar.switch_tab(1) works fine on android.

Fixed schema

Hi,

If using fixed schema model there is error on Rhom::Rhom.database_full_reset because of the wrong SQL statement.
File lib/rho/rho.rb Line 325(2.2.0) or 321 (2.1.) code is "strCreate = source['schema']['sql']"
but it seems like there is no content in "source['schema']['sql']". Instead looks like "source['schema']" should be used since it contains string of SQL Table definition.
Replacing this line with "strCreate = source['schema']" fixed my problem.
Please fix this bug if appropriate.
Thanks

This limits the datetimepicker in a huge manner and having users type in the date manually is not an acceptable behavior in a touch app

Suggestion:
DateTime picker should return a DateTime (serialized or even in a parseable string format that includes time zone) instead of a Time as in it's current implementation because Time is limited by epoch which in most platforms is set to 1-1-1970

Android does not respect 'disable_screen_rotation = 0'

As far as I can tell, that setting in rhoconfig does nothing to control whether the screen will rotate.

jqmobile-patch.js run-time error

I am seeing a run-time error in jqmobile-patch.js. Calls to origSuccess() are getting this:

jqmobile-patch.js:43TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'origSuccess(html)'

Note the line number is from the previous version.

This is probably benign. I assume this is happening when options.success was not defined.

Camera Not Working on Android 2.3 Phones

After building api-samples with Rhodes 3.0.2 / Android SDK 2.3.3 and installing on both HTC Wildfie S (running Android 2.3.3) and Nexus S (running 2.3.4) The application runs perfectly except for accessing the camera.

They both give the same error message:

undefined method 'get_camera_info' for Camera:Module

I have edited the build.yml and added the camera capability.

I have also tried building with rhodes 3.0.2.beta.1 and get the same error

RhoSimulator should only reload changed code files if reloading is enabled

If the "Reload application code" option is set in the RhoStudio run configuration, RhoSimulator will reload Ruby code at every request, it seems. This is counterproductive because, for example, class variables always get reset.

JSON.generate method not supported

Hey Guys,

I've read the groups entries which talk about JSON support, and I'm aware that JSON.generate support is not yet implement - only parse. The application I'm currently writing would definitely benefit from full JSON support, so if you get the time I'd appreciated it.

Cheers,
Damon.
