JIm, For a quick idea of how to create a QC application check out this blog entry. Also take a look at the wiki.

Jim,

If you open up the iphone examples directory of the download you will find a series of folders. double click on one of these and you will find a series of files that represent the Dashcode project. One of the files will end in .xcodeproj. Double click this file and Xcode will launch. Click ‘build and run’ and the example will run in the simulator if you select simulator in the pulldown at the top left of the Xcode window.

I installed 1.5 using the installer and Quickcode template shows up under the Widget section..but I have NO idea how to run and open the examples, being a complete Mac newbie. Can you give instructions from the perspective of being completelly unfamiliar with the Mac. I’m running OS X 10.5.4 and am VERY interested in getting into Quickconnect. Also, there is mention of the palm pre in the roadmap .. is this ongoing? It’s a great platform and would be terrific if I could write once and deploy to many including iphone, android, and webos. Thanks! Jim

That is a shame… Apple seems a bit too restrictive for no reason…

Was that the only way to give a hybrid app more of a native app appearance?

It appears that setAllowsRubberBanding is part of the private portion of the UIScrollView API. Access to the embedded UIScrollView from the UIWebView that contains it is also part of the private API.

For applications to be able to be placed in the App Store no private API’s can be used.

If I added this functionality to the framework no applications could be created with it and then distributed via the standard channel.

I want to keep applications created with the framework open to the standard distribution channel. If you want to add this functionality to your copy of the framework feel free. Just realize that it will only work on phones that have been cracked using JailBreak.

It’s actually called setAllowsRubberBanding, and was used before the SDK came out:

I could’t find it back in the SDK either, but I think this guy got it working:

John,

I have checked UIWebView, UIWebViewDelegate, UIScrollView, UIScrollViewDelegate, and UIView. I don’t see this as a method or attribute. I also searched the documentation for AllowsRubberBanding and came up empty. I did a google search and found nothing as well.

What examples are you referring to?

Thanks, I got it now, I didn’t get you were talking about the icon that starts DashCode.

In your Xcode example I see that the web page bounces when you scroll to the end of the screen. I seen some examples online where they set AllowsRubberBanding, would it be possible to incorporate that in your framework?
Thanks,
John

John,

control click the Dashcode application and select ’show package contents’. The Contents\Plugins folder will be inside the Finder window that is then displayed.

I can’t find the Contents\Plugins folder.
Could you please post the absolute path?
Thanks
