    Due to subscription costs, but more importantly lack of plug in support.

    Almost none of my existing projects will open in C3

  • I have a small app that uses iframe to display a form. It works great on the PC, but on a mobile it forces the user to open a new window for the form unless 'view in desktop mode' in enabled.

    Is it possible to force this without the user having to select it?

  • Hi,

    I have created an app that has a couple of reference .PDF files I need the user to be able to open and view. In testing, I have used the inappbrowser to point to the .pdf files locally - which works fine in the browser preview / web builds.

    the issue is when building as an .apk using Cordova CLI it no longer works. The plugin appears to be added to the config.xml file when building in cordova so i am not sure what's stopping it working.

    Anyone know how to get this working?

    Or if there is a better way to allow the user to view PDFs that would be even better.

    I was hoping I could bring up a PDF in a frame and keep my layout GUI around it but had no luck.

    Thanks,

  • Hi vino7733

    Are you able to help with some more sepcific info?

    I am using the in app browser to open a couple of .PDF files in my app and would like to get this working in a .apk (It works in a browser but not as an .apk Cordova CLI build)

    Thanks,

  • Bump to see if any takers for this challenge :)

    So i think i got it. I found this post about a Vacuum and at 1st look, it wasn't what i was looking for. But after dissecting it for some time.... voilà!

    Thanks for all your help, brother.

    Now, i still gotta work on the shields' GV and getting them to actually spawn when they're supposed to.

    Oh yeah, thanks for that capx awesome help!

    Any chance this vacuum CAPX still exists?

    I am trying to build a magnet shield to collect coins in my game but the gravity attract / physics / 8 direction attempts I have are not interpreting the player movement enough (You fly past a coin and it struggles to catch you up correctly)

  • Does any one know how to use this or know any good tutorials, examples or guides?

  • Hi Iolva

    I wonder if you might be able to help me. I've been on quite a few threads, discord and messaged people. So far I am still stuck. I am trying to implement google play services into some of my c2 games. (In particular leadboard and achievements).

    I cannot edit in c3 due to third party plugins so I am hoping there is a way I can use cranberry's cordova play plugin. From some of your posts I hope you might be able to help me?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Ashley / Tom

    I have half a dozen projects in C2 which have third party plugins. I am staying on C2 until they are complete as I cannot load them into C3. I have read all the latest info on compiling APKs and have Cordova CLI setup on my PC and working. My issue us being able to integrate google play services into it which I have had no answer on the forums yet.

    I have a couple of questions if I was to purchase C3 and use it to compile my C2 games:

    • Will I be able to build any of my C2 apps, regardless of the plugins used? Or will I have issues with third party plugins.
    • Is there a way to implement google play services, particularity leader board and achievements in C2 and build in C3? This is due to too many third party plugins to start again from scratch in C3.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Titan Games

    Yes its possible. I've put some code in the updated CAPX below:

    Give me a shout if you have any issues. The update puts the picture information into a variable in the sprite when the file chooser changes. It then uses this to download the picture.

    Thanks,
