Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    alpha anywhere grid save line item not working on android phone

    alpha anywhere grid save line item not working on android phone(grid embedded in UX). The app when put on browser works. In android app I do see data in grid but save tap does not do anything. If I open the web app in android via chrome it works but not via app published to android app via phone gap. I have ajax call back correct as I see the data in grid on android app but save, submit taps on phone does not do anything. I tried grid with details and grid with inline editing. All the save actions for grid are not working on android phone.(but it shows data means ajax callback is pulling data), same grid add/update is working on chrome on browser/phone chrome browser.

    Re: alpha anywhere grid save line item not working on android phone

    Are you sure your URL for Ajax Callbacks is correct? Including a Grid as an Embedded Object I'm seeing the same behaviour. The Grid has data but callbacks won't work.

    Create a Grid Toolbar button which makes an Ajax Callback and returns a simple alert. Then you'll know for sure.

    Also, have you published your UX and your Grid? Is security set appropriately?

    EDIT: Corrected info about Grid data

      Ok thanks David, I am checking this now(alert). Yes, UX and grid are published. My first official alpha project started now today and I need to do this rapidly.

          I don't know if I've ever seen a Grid within a PGB app. How have you included the Grid in the UX?

            Hi David,

            I included grid as embedded component(normal standard way) and its working on chrome and android chrome but not as android app published via phonegap(I do see data on app in grid but save and submit taps do nothing on android app). All grid actions(next/previous, save, submit, cancel) shown in below picture not working on android phone app(works in chrome on phone, desktop browser). I am going to send this to alpha support as well as grid is important for this app to work.

              Publishing is working and I do see data via chrome on android with update but as soon as I do it via android app(published via phonegap) all grid actions stop working but I do see data in grid. Panel card switch is working but grid is not working on android app.

                  I've said this a number of times before... the Grid is not appropriate for Mobile use. It is not a touch enabled, touch friendly, scroll friendly component. Use a List with Detail View or a FormView with Editors instead.

                    Thanks David. Are you saying grid does not work on mobile? or its not advisable. Grid has so many functionalities like inline editing/linked grids which is huge.

                      At best... not advisable. At worst... it's just too tough to work with. By default, the Grid is not responsive or as touch friendly as the UX. You could probably make some aspects of this work nicely... but it's going to be a lot of hoops to jump through. The Grid is excellent for Web... and even for Web Mobile (if you're running device large enough to show your full Grid). For Mobile via PGB you're going to run into a number of obstacles.

                        Thanks David. I first need to resolve this ajax callback failing in android app. I do not see any logs so I am just looking into alternate ways to fix this issue.

                          Editors are not going work for us as it has save click usability issue(if you have 10 fields you click 10 times to save and then sync- our app is sports app- user will not be clicking 10 times to save or register a form or grid data), they need to be able to bulk edit inside app and quickly fill up their schedule and matches (save-save-sync will not work). I am trying to find how user can fill grid style data in mobile app using alpha and hit save at once. We have only 4 columns with small amount of data but need bulk way to add, update, edit multiple rows by players who are on the run or on the ground(they will not have time to save one field sync- save second field- sync as shown on editor sample)

                              You don't have to save 10 times for 10 fields. That's just one way to get it done. The FormView control can display Editors in a Disclosure or a PanelCard. When the 1st field is accessed for editing you can then Next/Prev through all the fields. Make a change... Next... make a change... Next... all changes complete... Save & Sync in 1 click.
