Hello. I need some help with your instructions that aren’t making a lot of sense.

1) This section: Adding Google Play Services (required) “3. Make sure the Project is checked and click finish.” Make sure what project is checked?

2) Importing: “Now right click the SourceBaker Template project > properties > android > Add and select google_play_services. Click Ok, Click Ok again.”

SourceBaker template? What’s this? I have the sherdle template.

3) Error solving: Right click your project > properties > Libraries – This option doesn’t exist.

I’ve followed your instruction to the letter an only used the files you linked to.

Please help.

Testing on Android 5.0.1 but it’s the same result on 4.4.2. It’s using Flash: <embed type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” >. Works fine in my mobile browsers, but can’t seem to get it to work here.

Shockwave flash has been deprecated and is not available on most Android devices (therefore I would not recommend using it). http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html

And even though that, we turned on plugins in our code: mWebView.getSettings().setPluginState(WebSettings.PluginState.ON);

Keep in mind that most browsers are not WebView based (gecko, chromium, etc).

I think I’ll need to try a new embedder. Thanks for all your help :)

Sorry, I do not understand some things. This application means any web site to be converted into a portable app on android phone? Is it right? Thanks.

The application will show your website in a ‘frame’ so it will appear as a native application. It will look similar to how it looks in your mobile browser, but there will be no address bar etc.

Important This application will not convert a desktop site into a mobile site.

waste money, ... what kind of instructions are that ??, ... the links download software which works completely different as you show in the docs.

I don’t understand anything, I’m lost … Before to give you just 1 star, I’ll wait you to improve the docs.

You mean the outdated documentation ?, great ! :(

The documentation has already been updated (there was only one invalid link).

Feel free to let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Hello Wateronet, we have ported our template to Android Studio, which should eliminate all errors for every user. We also rewrote our documentation from scratch and combined it with video tutorials.

We’d love to hear your feedback!

waste 20$. This sucks, the website is everyday off and no have an “how to”, in the documment its showing a different website. Download an “app” folder, but, what supposed I need doing with that? If you sold an item, make sure include an “how to” or “how works” to dispel doubts

You can only get a refund over Envato Market support but they will generally only offer refunds if the item you purchased is broken, malfunctioning or corrupt, or doesn’t work as described: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460

We’d appreciate it if you can contact us and provide more information on where you’ve experienced problems using the template, and where the product is different from your expectations. We hope that with this information we can improve the product for future users (and perhaps also for you).

And finally I’d like to thank you for contacting us instead of immediately posting a 1 star review (you’d be suprised how many users do this), it’s much appreciated!

We’ve update our Website to be easier to use and we also updated the screenshots of this website in our documents.

In addition to that we completely rewrote our documentation and we have added video tutorials. We also updated our offline and ‘online’ version with better instructions.

many error in package http://prntscr.com/5v1rdn how to fix this?

I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing trouble. Are you using the web generated version? Have you linked the Google Play Services library (instructions can be found in your docs).

My mobile site require users to upload their photos. Does this webview app support upload photos? I heard of that in Kitkat 4.4, openfilechooser don’t work. Please advise.

Currently, I don’t have a solution within our template (I’m working on it though). I’d recommend using a webview alternative like Gecko: https://github.com/mfinkle/geckobrowser

Hi

1- How to define the best tool for my projects? Web2App OR Universal Webview?

2- Will Web2App do same things as Universal Webview?

3- For a city guide app project, which one is the best option? Web2APP or Universal?

4- And for a wordpress feed from local new website, which one is the best option?

5- For this Web2App tool I need to login in your backend to manage my app, or I will have a script to run in my own server?

Thank you.

1. Web2App is best if you are displaying a single website or if you’re using the mobile web (e.g. a Jquery mobile based app). Besides navigation, rating, and notifications, you have no need for other native functionalities. If you have a Wordpress blog, a RSS feed, twitter timeline, etc that you want to display in your app (natively), I’d recommend Universal.
2. Not completely, Universal has responsive navigation but Web2App has more useful features if you app is completely web based (and it’s easier to use).
3. If it’s completely web based, I’d recommend web2app.
4. I’d recommend Universal.
5. You can login to our website and generate your custom template, you can also use the offline version (both the same, but the generated version already has a custom package name, url, id’s etc). Both versions do not require a connection to our servers or a specific script on your server (besides the Wordpress api, if you use it).
6. Both will do that (use tel:12345).

For items 3 & 4… So let’s say I want to create a city guide using wordpress. In the wordpress I will have categories and posts under that categories. I plan to put categories (restaurants, hotels, etc) and under posts I plan to put the business name, a photo & details (may maps also). I want to display full wordpress website on app, not rss feeds. So there is possible to have in app a first screen with categories, and when clicked it will display the business names and details (wp posts in this case)? What tool is recommended for doing that? Universal or Web2app?

For item 5, regards web2app: I did not understand well. So I will have the script to run in my server or offline (local pc) which will generate the apps?

If you want to display your ‘full Wordpress website’ in the app, I’d recommend webtoapp (it will be like viewing your website in the browser).

We generate your custom webtoapp template on our servers.

can be added to advertise AirPush??

You can integrate Airpush, but you’ll have to integrate it yourself (it’s not kncluded in our support).

Feel free to let me know if I can help you with anything else.

can integrate other advertising other than google?

You’re free to customize the template and use any advertising network (note that these customizations are not covered by our support).

its a pity that u can show on demo, even in google play store….

We do have an apk demo available, you download from the live preview

Hi, please can you create a .apk demo with my url, for i try before to buy it ? thank

We do not provide customized demo’s. But our template works with the mentioned content providers. Is there anything specific that I could help you with?

Hello, I can’t download the ADT bundle. Can i use the Android Studio ?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, our template is not compatible with Android V2.2

Feel free to let me know if I can help you with anything else.

They are compatible with what version ?

Basic support for 2.3 and full support for 4.0 and up.

Hello,

Library error is resolved but now this is the error.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byfs91FWe0OPYlF3Z2h1ejBDd2s/view?usp=sharing

Did you change you packagename? Are using the offline or the online version? Are you using parse?

Could you try cleaning your project (project/clean), removing the app on your device, restarting Eclipse and try again?

Hello,

Where to change package name. in mainactivity.java “package com.thirdbase;”

in manifest “package=”com.thirdbase”

where to change it.

My project name is ComedyNights

I have changed re/values to ”<string name=”app_name”>ComedyNights</string>”

What to do this for resolve unfortunately ComedyNights has stopped. so many errors.

Thanks

Changing the package name can be very tricky, for that reason I would always recommend to use the (free) web based template generator, which will auto edit your package name.

Hello,

I have linked google play library in to project but still get these errors, please tell me solution.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byfs91FWe0OPelhES1owZnVjRlk/view?usp=sharing

thanks

I would like a few more questions to determine the cause of your errors: May I see how you linked the project? Could you send a screenshot of the ‘library’ tab? Are you targeting Android 4.4 or up?

Open up the styles.xml files (found in values-v11, values-v14 and values-v19) and look for the following expression:

<stylename="AppTheme"parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.XXXX">

Change it to:

<stylename="AppTheme"parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar">

The code changes puts out errors, tried changing all of the above instances to my project been error’d out.

Make sure to change it only once every file. If you’re still experiencing trouble, please create a screenshot of the error.

You don’t seem to have linked Google Play services. This is described in your docs.

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Hello,

I have purchased around 2 months ago, but at present i am unable to produce any apk, please tell me in brief how to install android studio or which part i have to installed, please help. waiting for your answer.

thanks

I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing trouble. Could you specify what you mean with ‘unable to produce an apk’?

Installation instructions can be found inside your panel (documentation).

If you’re upgrading from the old panel (sourcebaker) you need to login here to retrieve your data, after you’ve done this you can create an account at the new panel by registering for a new account.

anyway to remove the splash screen? have no use for it and need it gone.

The splash screen is only shown when the webview is actually loading. Removing the splash screen would result in a blank screen (same as setting a blank image).

but can it not just be removed and when the app is clicked on it just goes straight to webview, not really wanting the splash screen as have no use for it.

As said earlier, the splash screen is only showed when the web-view is blank/white. You’re free to remove it, but this customization is not included in our support.

Can this work to show recipes from a wordpress blog?

Thanks

I mean import or use the wordpress database without need to insert all posts everytime again.

Web2app can display any webpage, so it’ll look like you view the blog in a browser.

Email sent, thanks for the fast answer.

Hi,

There is no R.java file on gen folder. Could you please send me that file ?

Thanks.

https://www.diigo.com/item/image/rtx7/ot7r?size=o

This file is auto generated by Android. In your case, there is an error in an xml file (colors.xml) which prevents R.java from being generated.
