Creating SQL lite database using PhoneGap


1. Create a new android mobile application using Jquery mobile and PhoneGap.
 The openDatabase() method used for creating database in mobile.
                Syntax:
        var dbShell = window.openDatabase(name, version, display_name, size);
 Description :
                This method will create a new SQL Lite database and return a new database object. You can  use this database for performing sql operation.       
                Parameters
1.       Name – The name of the database
2.       Version – The version of the database
3.       Display name – The display name of the database
4.       Size – The size of the database in bytes.
2. Replace the index.html with following code.

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=320; user-scalable=no" />
    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>PhoneGap Demo With JQuery Mobile</title>
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.mobile/jquery.mobile-1.0rc2.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="pgandjqm-style-override.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.mobile/jquery-1.6.4.min"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="phonegap-1.1.0.js"></script>
        <script src="jquery.mobile/jquery.mobile-1.0rc2.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="main.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body onload="init();">
    <div data-role="page" data-theme="b">
            <div data-role="header">
            <h4>PhoneGap with JQuery Mobile</h4>
            </div> <!-- end jqm header -->
      <div data-role="content">
            <a href="#" data-role="button" onclick="displayDatabaseDetails()">DB Details</a>
            <span id="databaseDetails">
                 
            </span>
      </div> <!-- end jqm content -->
      <div data-role="footer">
            <h4>Footer content</h4>
      </div> <!-- end jqm footer -->
    </div><!-- end jqm page -->
  </body>
</html>

3. Open the main.js and replace with following code.

 
var localDatabase = null;
function init() {
      //Creating SQL Lite database..
      localDatabase = window.openDatabase("TestDB","1.0","PhoneGap TestDB ",300000);
      localDatabase.transaction(populateDatabase,errorCreateDatabase,successCreateDatabase);
}

function populateDatabase(db) {
      db.executeSql("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS DEMO");
      db.executeSql("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS DEMO(id unique,name)");
      //Inserting some dummy records into demo table.
      db.executeSql("INSERT INTO DEMO(id,name) VALUES (1,'xxxxxxx')");
      db.executeSql("INSERT INTO DEMO(id,name) VALUES (2,'yyyyyyy')");
      db.executeSql("INSERT INTO DEMO(id,name) VALUES (3,'zzzzzzz')");
}

function errorCreateDatabase(err) {
      alert("Error in creation database function...! " + err.code);
}

function successCreateDatabase() {
      //alert("Database created successfully....!");
}

function displayDatabaseDetails() {
      localDatabase.transaction(executeQuery,errorTransaction,successTransaction);
}

function errorTransaction(err) {
      alert("Error in transaction....!");
}

function successTransaction() {
      alert("Success transaction....!");
}

function executeQuery(db) {
      db.executeSql("SELECT * FROM DEMO",[],querySuccess,queryFailure);
}

function querySuccess(tx,results) {
      //alert("Query executed successfully....!");
      //Getting row length...
var rowLength = results.rows.length;
      var str = "ID     Name<br/>";
      for(var i=0;i<rowLength;i++) {
            //Getting id and name value using item() method
            str += results.rows.item(i).id + "     " + results.rows.item(i).name + "<br/>";
      }
      $("#databaseDetails").html(str);
}

function queryFailure() {
      alert("Query execution failed....!");
}

Here the  executeSql()method was used for executing sql query.

4. Now run the application .
                    
               

5. Click the DB Details button, you can able to see the all the inserted records.

Getting key/value pair from JSON object and getting variable name and value from JavaScript object.

 Hi, I had faced one issue like this. I have an JSON object but I don't know any key name but I need to get the all the key and corresponding value from JSON object using client side JavaScript. Suddenly I wondered whether it's possible or not, after that I had done lot of workaround and finally got this solution. See the below example.    function getKeyValueFromJSON() {     var jsonObj =  {a:10,b:20,c:30,d:50} ;     for ( var key in jsonObj) {       alert( "Key: " + key + " value: " + jsonObj[key]);     }  }  In this example I have created the one json array as string, and converted this string into JSON object using eval() function. Using for-each loop I got all the key value from jsonObj, and finally using that key I got the corresponding value.  Finally I got the alert like this,    Key: a value:10    Key: b value:20    Key...

Meteor tutorial - Part II - Building mobile applications

In my previous blog post , I have explained basics of meteor. In this tutorial I am going to add mobile support to the existing meteor application. Installing mobile SDKs Before going to start we need to install IOS and android SDKs (Software development kit). Here I am installing SDKs for iOS. Please keep in mind this is one time process. For installing iOS SDKs, we need to invoke “meteor install-sdk ios”. The same way you can install android SKDs by invoking “meteor install-sdk android” command. Adding mobile platform support I am using already created application called “myapp” and going to add iOS platform support by invoking a command “ meteor add-platform ios ”. We can add android platform by invoking a command  “ meteor add-platform android ”. Running application on mobile emulator Once we add mobile platform then we can run our application by using real mobile device or emulator. I have added IOS platform to myapp already. Now I am going to ru...
