Hybrid-06 : Design Apps With Framework7

This tutorial is about how to design your cordova based hybrid Apps. Hows the structure will be index.html page, another html pages and .js pages.

To create your first project you must included the following code in your index.html file

<!-- Path to Framework7 iOS CSS theme styles --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/framework7.ios.min.css"> <!-- Path to Framework7 iOS related color styles --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/framework7.ios.colors.min.css"> <!-- Path to your custom app styles--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/my-app.css"> ----------------------------- <!-- Path to Framework7 Library JS--> <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/framework7.min.js"></script> <!-- Path to your app js--> <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/my-app.js"></script>

Framework7 has two types of App Theme Layout

1. ios App Layout.

2. Android App Layout.

ios App Layout: (index.html).

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- Required meta tags--> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, minimal-ui"> <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black"> <!-- Your app title --> <title>Myapp</title> <!-- Path to Framework7 iOS CSS theme styles--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/framework7.ios.min.css"> <!-- Path to Framework7 iOS related color styles --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/framework7.ios.colors.min.css"> <!-- Path to your custom app styles--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/my-app.css"> </head> <body> <!-- Status bar overlay for full screen mode (PhoneGap) --> <div class="statusbar-overlay"> </div> <!-- Panels overlay--> <div class="panel-overlay"> </div> <!-- Left panel with reveal effect--> <div class="panel panel-left panel-reveal"> <div class="content-block"> <p> Left panel content goes here</p> </div> </div> <!-- Views --> <div class="views"> <!-- Your main view, should have "view-main" class --> <div class="view view-main"> <!-- Top Navbar--> <div class="navbar"> <div class="navbar-inner"> <div class="center sliding"> Awesome App</div> <div class="right"> <a href="#" class="link icon-only open-panel"><i class="icon icon-bars"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pages navbar-through toolbar-through"> <!-- Page, "data-page" contains page name --> <div data-page="index" class="page"> <!-- Scrollable page content --> <div class="page-content"> <p> Page content goes here</p> <!-- Link to another page --> <a href="about.html">About app</a> </div> </div> </div> <!-- Bottom Toolbar--> <div class="toolbar"> <div class="toolbar-inner"> <!-- Toolbar links --> <a href="#" class="link">Link 1</a> <a href="#" class="link">Link 2</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- Path to Framework7 Library JS--> <script type="text/javascript" src="is/framework7.min.js"></script> <!-- Path to your app js--> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/my-app.js"></script> </body> </html>

Another ios pages Layout:

<div class="navbar"> <div class="navbar-inner"> <div class="left"> <a href="#" class="back link"> <i class="icon icon-back"></i> <span>Back</span> </a> </div> <div class="center sliding"> For Dynamic Navbar</div> <div class="right"> <a href="#" class="link icon-only open-panel"><i class="icon icon-bars"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pages navbar-through toolbar-through"> <div data-page="forms" class="page"> <div class="page-content"> <div class="content-block-title"> <b>Page Content Title</b></div> <div class="list-block"> <ul> <li> <a href="formelement.html" class="item-link"> <div class="item-content"> <div class="item-media"> <i class="icon icon-f7"></i></div> <div class="item-inner"> <div class="item-title"> Page Content</div> </div> </div> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="toolbar"> <div class="toolbar-inner"> <div class="center"> For Dynamic Navbar</div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Android App Layout: (index.html).

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- Required meta tags--> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, minimal-ui"> <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> <!-- Color theme for statusbar --> <meta name="theme-color" content="#2196f3"> <!-- Your app title --> <title>My App</title> <!-- Path to Framework7 Library CSS, Material Theme --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/framework7.material.min.css"> <!-- Path to Framework7 color related styles, Material Theme --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/framework7.material.colors.min.css"> <!-- Path to your custom app styles--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/my-app.css"> </head> <body> <!-- Views --> <div class="views"> <div class="view view-main"> <div class="pages"> <!-- Now we need additional "navbar-fixed" and "toolbar-fixed" classes on Page --> <div data-page="index" class="page navbar-fixed toolbar-fixed"> <!-- Top Navbar--> <div class="navbar"> <div class="navbar-inner"> <div class="center"> Awesome App</div> </div> </div> <!-- /End of Top Navbar--> <div class="page-content"> <p> Other content goes here</p> ... </div> <!-- Bottom Toolbar--> <div class="toolbar"> <div class="toolbar-inner"> Bottom Toolbar </div> </div> <!-- /End of Bottom Toolbar--> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- Path to Framework7 Library JS--> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/framework7.min.js"></script> <!-- Path to your app js--> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/my-app.js"></script> </body> </html>

Another Android pages Layout:

<div class="views"> <div class="view view-main"> <div class="pages navbar-fixed toolbar-fixed"> <div data-page="index" class="page"> <!-- Top Navbar--> <div class="navbar"> <div class="navbar-inner"> <div class="left"> </div> <div class="center"> Title</div> <div class="right"> </div> </div> </div> <!-- /End of Top Navbar--> <div class="page-content" > <div class="content-block"> <p style="text-align:justify"> Page contents goes here............ </p> </div> </div> <!-- Bottom Toolbar--> <div class="toolbar"> <div class="toolbar-inner"> For dynamic Bottom Toolbar </div> </div> <!-- /End of Bottom Toolbar--> </div> </div> </div> </div>

After design App layout with attached Framework7 CSS and JS files you need to initialize app and views.

Initialize Your App: (my-app.js)

// Initialize app var myApp = new Framework7(); // Use framework7 custom DOM var $$ = Dom7; // Add view var mainView = myApp.addView('.view-main', { // To enable dynamic navbar dynamicNavbar: true });

Script For Specific pages: (my-app.js)

// Option 1. Using page callback for page (for "about" page in this case) (recommended way): myApp.onPageInit('about', function (page) { // about page script will be here }) // Option 2. Using one 'pageInit' event handler for all pages: $$(document).on('pageInit', function (e) { // Get page data from event data var page = e.detail.page; if (page.name === 'about') { // Following code will be executed for page with data-page attribute equal to "about" myApp.alert('Here comes About page'); } })

Hybrid-02 : What do you need to know.

Before you start learning to create hybrid apps using Intel XDK and Framework7 you need to know basics of how to create websites that is you should know basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and any backend technology. Mostly web developers are the ones who prefer to create hybrid apps, as they don’t have to learn new programming languages and frameworks for creating mobile apps.

1. Apache Cordova: The main technology (https://cordova.apache.org/).

2. Framework7: For Design (http://framework7.io/).

3. Intel Xdk: Development Tool (https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-xdk).

Hybrid-01 : Overview

As it stands,most mobile devices use one of the two dominant operating systems Google-developed Android (48.3%) and the Apple-developed iOS (41%).With the rise of the smartphone, it’s apparent that we love apps. Google and Apple are dominant and this is not going to change.

Native App: This is platform (iOS, Android etc.) specific and requires unique expertise. However the full potential of the platform can be leveraged which will drive great user experience and larger app capabilities (especially around phone hardware). Can be pricey based on requirement and may take longer to develop.

Hybrid App: As the name suggests, that you can develop these type of app across multiple platform with same souce code and it is usually the cheaper and faster solution. Apache Cordova is an open-source mobile development framework. It allows you to use standard web technologies - HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for cross-platform development.

Apache cordova: Apache Cordova (formerly PhoneGap) is a popular mobile application development framework originally created by Nitobi. Adobe Systems purchased Nitobi in 2011, rebranded it as PhoneGap, and later released an open source version of the software called Apache Cordova. Apache Cordova enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using CSS3, HTML5, and JavaScript instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in Android, iOS, or Windows Phone. It enables wrapping up of CSS, HTML, and JavaScript code depending upon the platform of the device.
