[Terrance Fisher]

Is there any tutorial to take someone from Step A to Z?

[Sahaya Sweetlin Ponmalar P]

Hi Terrance,

 

Thank you for your interest in Orubase.

 

We have online documentation for our Orubase Beta 2 release in the following link. We are preparing the documentation for main Orubase release which will be reflected soon.

Hi Terrance,

 

Here is some additional information about getting started with Orubase for an ASP.NET MVC based mobile hybrid application.

 

1	Create a web application   The UI and business logic stays in the web application and this is developed using Visual Studio 2012/2012. Orubase includes a Wizard utility that will help you generate a web application project and also tie them to the other native application projects that will be introduced in the next steps.   http://help.syncfusion.com/UG/orubase/default.htm#!Documents/creatingaspnetmvcweb.htm
2	Create native applications that host the web application   The Orubase wizard generates starter applications for iOS, Android and Windows Phone that are already preconfigured to work with the web application created in step 1.   You can now open any of these projects (iOS project would have to be copied to your Mac OS X system) in the development environment for those projects.   iOS – Xcode Android – Eclipse Windows Phone – Visual Studio
3	Running the application   Running the starter application involves:   a. Running the web application: Run this and it will launch itself though an utility (SharpProxy) that will allow for external clients (other computers, phones, tablets) to connect to the local web server. b. Run the native application project: Run any of the 3 native application projects and you should be able to see the web application hosted within the simulator.

 

Please let us know if you need additional information about further steps (we will also work on them proactively and post them in the documentation).

Hi, I am just looking at orubase, but im a bit confused, I have created a test project, using the  create new application wizard.  What I am a bit confused about Once I have made my changes to the web application in Visual Studio.  Do I need to make the changes to the IOS and Android projects as well.

 

Do I need to do development in all three platforms seperatly, As when I make the changes to the Web application, the android and IOS projects are not being updated.

 

Am I missing something here.

 

[Ikram Issa]

Please ignore last comment, i managed to suss it out now

[krishnaveni]

Hi,

Thank you for the sample, That helped me so much. But, I am not able to find where the recorded audio and video has saved, and this application is not running for the applications with login page. Please help me for these issues.

Thanks in advance.

[Bharathi D]

Hi Krishnaveni,

Thanks for your patience. Please find the response for your queries below.

1.  Location where the audio and video files gets saved

The Recorded audio and video files are received in base64 format which is posted to server. Please refer the following code snippet.

//sending base64 string to server
<code>

 var data = { "basestring": basestring, "filetype": fileType };
                var audioPlayer = document.getElementById("audio_player");
              
                $.ajax({
                    type: 'Post',
                    data: data,
                    success: function (data) {
                        audioPlayer.src = "http://172.16.2.143:29366/" + data;
                    }
                });
</code>

Base64 string data is converted into file format and saved in server directory. Please refer the below code snippet.

<code>
public ActionResult View1(string basestring, string filetype)
        {
            ViewData["viewName"] = "View1";
            if (basestring != null)
            {
                byte[] binaryData = Convert.FromBase64String(basestring);
                string filename = "sampleaudio." + filetype;
                string path = HttpContext.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + filename;
                System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, binaryData);
                return Json(filename, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }
            else
                return View();
        }
</code>


2. We have created the sample for Recording and playing audio & video using login page. Please check the attachment for the sample.


Please let us know if you have any queries.

Hi,            

   

            Thank you for the sample, that is working fine when I am running it as an individual application, but when Iam itegrating this with anopther application i.e., when I click a button then a page is rendered with the capture audio button then follows the required application. When I did in above mentioned manner this part of code is not running when I am stop recording

if (basestring != null)

{

byte[] binaryData = Convert.FromBase64String(basestring);

string filename = "sampleaudio." + filetype;

string path = HttpContext.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + filename;

System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, binaryData);

return Json(filename, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

}

 

[Bharathi D]

Hi Krishnaveni,

Could you please check the URL attribute in $.ajax post, If you are sending action result to different name instead of home URL it is necessary to provide URL in the ajax post. Please find the below code snippet,

<code>

   $.ajax({
             type: 'Post',
             url : "/home/view1",
             data: data,
             success: function (data) {
             audioPlayer.src = "http://172.16.2.143:29366/" + data;
          }
        
          });

 
public ActionResult View1(string basestring, string filetype)

        {
            ViewData["viewName"] = "View1";

            if (basestring != null)

            {

                byte[] binaryData = Convert.FromBase64String(basestring);

                string filename = "sampleaudio." + filetype;

                string path = HttpContext.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + filename;

                System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, binaryData);

                return Json(filename, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

             }
            else
            return View();
        }

</code>


Please try the above step and let us know if it helps. If that doesn’t works please send your code snippet or sample project so that we can easily solve your issue.

Hi Bharathi,

I am using webcam to capture video, is webcam is sufficient to capture a video through android emulator?

 

Thank you in advance

[krishnaveni]

Hi Bharathi,

        In the AudioVideoUpload sample the recorded audio is in the format of .wav file, this file is playing in the emulator, but this is not playing in the browser. I have checked in IE, chrome and firefox that was not playing. I have also tested playing another .wav format file which is downloaded from net that was playing in chrome & firefox. And I also tested playing the file which is recorded and converted in to .mp3 format that is also playing well. Now I want to convert recorded .wav file to .mp3 file is their any possibility to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

Thank you for the response, 

 Webcam to capture video and base string is empty issue:

I am running the android application of  AudioVideoUpload sample which you have given in eclipse using Android 4.2 emulator, I am using webcam to record video after recording has stopped the break point is coming to this code

  public ActionResult View2(string basestring, string filetype)

        {

            ViewData["viewName"] = "View2";

            if (basestring != null)

            {

                byte[] binaryData = Convert.FromBase64String(basestring);

                string filename = "samplevideo." + filetype;

                string path = HttpContext.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + filename;

                System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, binaryData);

                return Json(filename, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);

            }

            else

                return View();

In this basestring value is empty, that means their is nothing recorded. should I use something more for recording audio.

[krishnaveni]

Hi,

 Thank you for the tutorial. 

I am running the sample which you have given on the android emulator which is created with the properties which you have mentioned in the screen shot. Even then while recording video I am following same procedure, I am clicking menu -->  start recording then in the logcat it is raising the error MediaRecorder start failed - 19, again I am clicking menu --> start recording then the application is destroying.

 

Are their any changes which I have to do?

Thank you in advance.

[Sahaya Sweetlin Ponmalar P]

Hi Krishnaveni,

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused

 

We will analyze on the “MediaRecorder start failed – 19” error with capture video and we will update you the status on 1^st Feb, 2013.

 

Please let us know if you have any queries

 

Regards,

Ponmalar P

[Sahaya Sweetlin Ponmalar P]

Hi Krishnaveni,

 

Thanks for your patience.

 

We have analyzed about "Media Recorder start Failed -19" issue. Most of the Android  Emulator will not support the Media Recorder. In this scenario Media Recorder will not be initialized. This is the cause for getting an error. We can try this by setting SD card size or by selecting any other targeting device in Emulator. The application crash issue due to this, is fixed and it will be available in our next Orubase release.

 

Please let us know if you have any queries

[Lutz Linke]

Hi,

regarding not being able to pass arguments using Orubase's ActionLink, I opened an incident and just send them my findings. From my analysis there (IMHO) really IS a bug in their code which causes routeValues to get lost. But I found a workaound, hope that can help you:

The simple Html-ActionLink works:

    @Html.ActionLink("View Orders", "Orders", new { customerId = 1 })

This Orubase-ActionLink looses the routeValues passed:

    @Html.Orubase().ActionLink("View Orders", "Orders", new { customerId = 1 })

This overloaded Orubase-ActionLink however works:

    @Html.Orubase().ActionLink("View Orders", "Orders", "Home", "http", null, null, new { customerId = 1 }, null)

[Thivya]

Hi Lutz,

As per the update in incident 105651, the issue was related to the product version you were checked from your end and also the issue resolved in latest Orubase version 69.

Please let us know if you have any further queries.

Hi Ashu Khanna, 

 

We had deprecated the Orubase Studio and there is no longer active development under this. We recommended that to use the web version of the Essential JS2 framework, since all the controls now support responsiveness and can render appropriately in both mobile and desktop devices.
