Question

Anyone have sample code on how to launch a ST2 app from phonegap? I can only find ST1 tutorials and have not been able to make them work.

I have my working ST2 app with my code in app.js – I guess I need to use the ondeviceready event but not sure where to do so.

Thanks

Even if you don’t need phonegap API its worth using Phonegap build:

a. Build your Sencha App with phonegap-build website. Its free, easy and great.
see details below.

b. See Sencha Native API tutorial here. http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/guide/native_apis

Details

Use the Phonegap-Build free website. Its fantastic.

a. Use it if you need phonegap specific functionality
— AFAIK Sencha Native is missing contacts – please correct me if I’m wrong.

b. Use it because you want the fantastic phonegap-build free online utility, that gives you immediate compiled code for iphone, Android, Windows mobile, blackberry(!) and more.

How to compile you Sencha app on Phonegap-build

a. You REMOVE the phonegap.js (or cordova-xxx.js file) from the folders.

b. You must have a ref to the phonegap in your app.html.
If its there, leave it. If not add the following line after the link to the css.

    <script type="text/javascript" id="phonegap" src="cordova-1.7.0.js"></script>

c. You copy the app.html to a new index.html file (I didn’t try RENAME rather than COPY but it probably will work too)

d. And upload the credentials from apple developer – which you can create from a PC using open SSL.

e. You zip your directory, and in the phonegap-build site Edit and upload this zip.

The compiled Sencha code works on all the devices (iphone, android, blackberry touch etc)!
