I had created this code.org file and they had provided the link
https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/-hUNZI_6cd9viQh-Br1MBrn4t8aHw7Gefou3r_9o1gg/edit
Now I want to view it on mobile as a real app but the link only opens it in a browser.
So How should I convert it into an APK file to get the real app on my phone?
This is a really good website that allows you to view how to make a file into a APK format. Here is the link, https://www.dummies.com/web-design-development/mobile-apps/how-to-create-a-publishable-apk-file-for-your-android-app/, it will be very helpful if you have an android device.

I'm trying to design an application using Flutter framework where i need two features using QR Code scanner. Features as follows,
If the app is installed QR code scanner (when scanning from the app it self) should open a url link in browser (within the app is self)
If the app is not installed scanning the QR code from device it self should take the user to play/app store or to a website.
how can i achieve this using flutter and dart? any sample workout will be more than helpful.
You need to use Firebase Dynamic Links or a similar service.
FDL allows you to do exactly what you want.
Basically you specify an app identifier in the console, then in your app's info.plist + manifest.xml you specify the domain you used for the link generation.
The way it works is FDL will try to open the link locally on the device, if the app is already installed then it will launch the app, otherwise you can decide to redirect to a specified URL or to the platform app store and open your app page.
I've just seen that there exists a cordova extionsion to write files in ionic.
But. What am i supposed to do with it? I mean a Usecase would be "create File, Plug-in Mobile, Copy to to Computer" but this I guess isn't supported by iOS at all.
So my questions are:
What is $cordovaFile meant for in ionic?
Is it possible to to realize the above Usecase in android even though it's clearly not in iOS?
Quote from the github page:
This plugin implements a File API allowing read/write access to files residing on the device.
Maybe you would want to download an image and save it to the sd card for example (you would need filetransfer plugin to download the image). More info about the plugin you can find here.
A simple link in the simplest xdk html5 app, let's say, a link to Google for example (click me) works on app preview. But, when I build the app, download the apk and install on my tablet, the same link don't work. Here is what I have done:
Created the apk using phonegap builder and it worked. Same code.
Include all plugins on xdk, used all types of script like loadExternal. Same result. All of the methods worked on app preview but not when actually build it.
Try to use "mailto:" links to open the e-mail, same thing.
A simple ping ajax request work on app preview and not on built apk.
It looks like that the internet connection is blocked to the built app.
Again, the same simple html5 app, not the hybrid app, it works perfectly opening a simple link to external page. The same html5 simple app don't open the damn link on built apk.
So, temporarily, I'll have to compile the app with phonegap builder, but, I really liked Intel xdk. How can I make the app work with xdk?
There is an option in Intel XDK project settings to whitelist the websites you want the app to allow, set this to * to allow app to access any website
Is there a way to specifically format a link on my page to tell a mobile device such as an Android phone or an iPhone that when a user clicks a link to a mp4 file (for example) to go ahead and play it (or ask the user if they want to play it) using their phone media player?
I'm working on a web app with mixed results, most of the times the device just goes straight into download mode, and attempts to save the file to the downloads folder, but what I would like is to make it so the device starts automatically playing the file as soon as possible.
My app is basically a file sharing app that creates qr codes and thus allows you to share media to mobile devices... the thing is, when it comes to video files and maybe images, I want the phone to automatically display the media and not just download it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can see the app here http://scan2see.me
You could always use a <video> tag to make your videos play instead of just linking to them.
FYI iOS devices never download anything, unless jailbroken and with Safari Download Manager plugin (or other one like it) installed. So even if you just link, it will always play. And the reason why all videos play at full screen is because the iOS instantiate Quicktime to play it.
