Re: [xmlvm-users] java.util.Date solutions (red class dependency)

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

Thanks for the reply, Arno.  I'll give that a shot. I have also now found
that by compiling with alternate implementations of Date (and dependencies)
taken from the cldc1.1.jar in the bootstrap classpath it works ok. Though I
need to disable portions of URLConnection that rely on Date.parse() (which
isn't implemented in the CLDC version).

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

the redlist.txt is hand-crafted. Manually fine-tuning it is the only way 
to change it. Perhaps you can run a test program that only makes use of 
java.util.Date on a standard JVM with option -verbose:class to see which 
classes are used. That might simplify the process of fine-tuning.

[xmlvm-users] java.util.Date solutions (red class dependency)

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

Hi,

I'm curious what solutions others have come up with for dealing with
java.util.Date in XMLVM.  It seems that its toString() method depends
on classes that are on the red list (e.g.
XMLVM Error: Unsatisfied red class dependency:
(java_util_SimpleTimeZone_1_run__):/Volumes/Windows
VMS/NetbeansProjects/JSONBenchmark/SampleBusinessLogic/xmlvm_code_app/dist/../build/xcode/src/app/java_util_SimpleTimeZone_1.m:242
).

Most domain objects will require some kind of Date object so I don't
want to just stop using Date.  What are other people doing if they
want to use Date objects in XMLVM?

I started down the road of removing the offending classes from the red
list, but the rabbit hole was going pretty deep (every class I add,
creates more redlist dependencies).

Thanks for any feedback.

[xmlvm-users] --xmlvm-new-ios-api crossmobile

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with trying to use a .xib file that is created in
InterfaceBuilder as part of my XMLVM iphone app.  I know I can do this
by delving into native code, but I'm trying to see how much I can do
in Java.  Currently I just have a .xib file with a button, which I
have supplied a tag so that I should be able to look it up with Java
code.  I'm using the info.plist file to cause the app to display the
.xib on startup - and this works ok.  My problem is now at trying to
interact with the window.

Since the getKeyWindow() and getWindows() methods (and many others)
don't seem to be implemented in the org.xmlvm.iphone.UIApplication
class I am looking for an alternative.  One thing that I am trying
(unsuccessfully so far) is to use the --xmlvm-new-ios-api flag to use
the org.xmlvm.ios.* generated classes.  Unfortunately I get compile
errors in Xcode when I try this.  I must be doing something wrong.

I simply added the following to the build-Xcode.xml file:

<arg value="--xmlvm-new-ios-api"/>

inside the <java> call of the -xproject-create target.

The errors I get on compile (in Xcode) is that it cannot find the
org.xmlvm.ios.* classes at all.

Therefore, I assume that I need build the crossmobile project to
generate these files.  Can someone point me to any documentation that
might exist on the crossmobile project.  A simple "ant" call is giving
me compiler errors... and I don't have any leads right now on the
correct way to generate these files (if indeed this is even the
problem).

Any pointers appreciated.

Steve

Re: [xmlvm-users] Using Interface Builder for UI

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

Thanks for the tip.  How are you handling outlets and actions with the
.xib file?  E.g. If I have a button in the .xib file and I want a
click to be handled by Java code.  I know I could break out a native
method and implement a view controller in Objective-C, but I'm curious
if there is a way to do it with the org.xmlvm.iphone.* Java classes.

Re: [xmlvm-users] iOS GUI development using Xcode

[Kensuke M. <mat...@ki...>]

1) I posted patch to handle storyboard in iphone-hybrid mode.
http://xmlvm-reviews.appspot.com/246001/

2) I'm trying attached patch.
This add obj-c files in given directory to .xproject (not copy to build/xcode/app like iphone-hybrid).
It doesn't generate lib file, but it may be helpful to edit obj-c/storyboard with Xcode.

[xmlvm-users] Using Interface Builder for UI

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

Hi All,

I'm just experimenting with XMLVM to get a feel for the development
process as it pertains to iOS apps.  After looking a little bit
through the code it seems like the xmlvm compatibility library doesn't
include the ability to use a Nib file for the UI.  Is this correct?
My next step is to just use a native method to handle this, but if
there is an easier way, please let me know.

Steve

Re: [xmlvm-users] iOS GUI development using Xcode

[Panayotis K. <pan...@pa...>]

1) Unfortunately, not yet.
Storyboard is not directly supported by the library.
On the other hand, if you know how storyboards interact with the iOS
system, this would be a nice addition, if you have the time to port it to
XMLVM.

2) The production of XMLVM is source code, and as such you can do anything
you want with it - leave it as is, make it an archive (ar) file, build a
dylib file ... it's up to you to do whatever fits you most.

[xmlvm-users] iOS GUI development using Xcode

[Kurayami T. <kur...@gm...>]

Hi folks
Thanks for answering all my questions previously!

I have a few more :p

1 - As the subject suggests, I would like to use Xcode to develop the UI,
aka storyboard. It'll be much more convenient than going through code.
Can and how do I do this?
Can I just add a storyboard in the generated project and link it off with a
controller?

2 - Even if (1) works, the difficulty is also in the transient nature of
the Xcode project. I wouldn't want to write native code in the project in
case they get lost if I forget and do a `ant clean` for the source Java
code.
Can I use xmlvm to compile the Java code to a dylib project and link it in
with a true blue Xcode project?
If so, how can I do that?

Thanks!!

Re: [xmlvm-users] What's the state of Windows Phone support in XMLVM?

[Markus N. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi Andrew,

I wrote the XMLVM WP7 backend as part of my master's project. It was
designed to allow cross-compilation of the Xokoban XMLVM demo (
http://xmlvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmlvm/trunk/xmlvm/demo/android/xokoban/)
from Android to WP7. The implemented features are more or less only ones
which are necessary to run this demo. As input format only Java is
supported at the moment. I don't plan on actively developing it any further
as a lot has changed since WP8 was released. I also don't know of anybody
else actively developing it or using it at the moment.

In theory you could use JRuby as input format and extend the WP7 backend
but it would be a huge project. I can give you some pointers if you're
interested in doing this.

Good luck with your search,
Markus

The goal is to migrate to the C backend. The Objective-C backend is kept 
for backward compatibility reasons. The problem is that there is still 
work to do for the C backend (see my last message regarding crossmobile 
amongst others) but not enough volunteers.

I would suggest you use the C backend. It is a lot more powerful than 
the aging ObjC backend.

Even the C backend still uses the ObjC compiler when you compile your 
project with Xcode (note that ObjC is a superset of C). I guess your 
question is about having manually written ObjC code that makes calls to 
generated C code. This can be tricky because you will have to understand 
the internals of the C backend. I would suggest you write some Java code 
that makes the calls to the Java API you plan to call from ObjC and take 
a look at the cross-compiled code.

[xmlvm-users] Objc or C backend?

The default for every created project is objc, but it doesn't work well (or
in some cases, not at all).
An example of the slew of errors is this: "MyArrayList.h: No such file ..."
So this means that xmlvm is not translating/or copying? the ArrayList over.

My only successes have been using the c backend.

So here are my questions
1 - Backend: Can I use objc? If so, how do I fix the slew of warnings about
missing files?

I am using xmlvm --skeleton=iphone --out=OUTDIR --app-name=APPNAME
to create my projects.

2 - If I have to use c, can anyone advice me on how I can call xmlvm
generated code in an Xcode objc project?

Thanks!

Hi
This is a continuation to
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30114275 I couldn't
find a way to reply to the message on SF's mailing page.

Thanks Arno for your reply. I'm trying to generate the iOS API using ant
gen-xmlvm-ios as suggested in
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28303835.
But I'm getting this error:

 java.lang.RuntimeException: type 'ACCOUNTS_CLASS_AVAILABLE(NA, 5_0)
@interface ACAccount : NSObject - (id)initWithAccountType:(ACAccountType )'
contains spaces
 at org.crossmobile.source.ctype.CType.<init>(CType.java:112)
at
org.crossmobile.source.utils.ListOfArguments.parse(ListOfArguments.java:53)
 at org.crossmobile.source.ctype.CArgument.create(CArgument.java:178)

My settings:
crossmobile's xmlvm.properties sdk path modified to point to SDK 6.0

=====
Also, if/when this is compiled properly, how do I use it properly?
Do I still need to pass in --xmlvm-new-ios-api when I compile my project?
I've tried it and it just bombs out with an NPE.

[xmlvm-users] Building from trunk with C backend

[Steve H. <st...@we...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble building a Java project in XMLVM with the C
back-end.  I have set xmlvm.properties setting "xmlvm.backend=c", and
the Ant script indicates "Creating Xcode project with the C backend.",
but I'm getting all kinds of errors when I try to build the resulting
Xcode project that seem to indicate that it is trying to run in
Objective-C mode.

e.g. The first batch of errors I get is

on a line
#include "org_xmlvm_iphone_NSString.h"

and the error is "Org_xmlvm_iphone_NSString.h: No such file or directory"

The full section is located in native_org_xmlvm_runtime_XMLXMUtil.m:

#ifdef __OBJC__
#ifndef XMLVM_NEW_IOS_API
#include "org_xmlvm_iphone_NSString.h"
#else
#include "org_xmlvm_ios_NSString.h"
#endif
#endif

So it looks like __OBJC__ is defined.  Should this be the case if I
built it with the C backend?

Thanks for any pointers.

Steve
