sapui5: Load initially NDA page and load Shell later - sapui5

i've a requirement as below after use logs-in:
- user will first see a nda agreement page, where he has to sign on it and submit
- then after sumit, it has to load shell and then he cont with other screens in shell
the key here is, if any time the user refreshes the screen.. it should always takes him to shell and not the the nda screen. as we've to remember the user's decision and load only shell.
-wt is the best way to handle this?
-i hope (prefer) to do this in the same ui5 project only.. rather than 2 different projs.
-how do we remember the user's decision? its a kind of session handling within ui5!
-do we've to use content.plastAt() from nda page to shell? how to achieve this..!

You can do the following in a few ways, lets tackle the NDA remember feature.
You can use javascript's session storage api for example, this will make sure that a refresh will keep the value but a completely new session will show the NDA again.
Now if you want Ui5 based solution for the NDA you can set the first screen as the NDA and in the submit button to navigate to the next page and detach the NDA page from the shell.
Another way to achieve this is by using a modal popup with the NDA and on click just remove the popup
and save the data in the session storage.
Hope this gave you a clear idea.
BR,
Saar

you need to use Session Storage to meet your requirement
In the NDA sign on page check sessionStorage data and in the controller of NDA write this code
onInit: function() {
var oView = this.getView();
oView.addEventDelegate({
onBeforeShow : jQuery.proxy(function(evt) {
this.onBeforeShow();
}, this)
});
},
onBeforeShow: function(){
if(SessionStorage['UserName'])
{
sap.ui.getCore().getEventBus().publish("nav", "to", {
id : "idShell",//id to navigate to shell Page
data : {}
});
}
else
{
// DO SOMTHING
}
}

PWA home screen "uninstall" DOM event

I am trying to keep track of whether a web app has been installed to the user's home-screen using a value in localStorage.
I know there is DOM event that fires when a web app has been installed into a user's home-screen, but is there an event for when it has been uninstalled?
The type of event I have in mind would ideally be scheduled in a manner similar to (and behave in a manner similar to) onunload. (ie. an uncancellable event that allows me to schedule some last bit of work before the app is destroyed)
eg:
window.addEventListener('appinstalled', function(e) {
console.log('onappinstalled', e)
localStorage.setItem('APP_INSTALLED', '1')
})
// given the above, is anything like the following possible?
window.addEventListener('appuninstalled', function(e) {
console.log('onappuninstalled', e)
localStorage.setItem('APP_INSTALLED', '0')
})
I realised that once a user has uninstalled the app from their home-screen, the browser will begin prompting to install the app to the home-screen, again, provided you have met the criteria.
So by using the onbeforeinstallprompt event, there is an opportunity to clear the 'APP_INSTALLED' key from localStorage, and perform other arbitrary work.
eg:
window.addEventListener('beforeinstallprompt', function(e) {
localStorage.removeItem('APP_INSTALLED')
})
Moreover, this localStorage key may have already been cleared if the user elected to delete all data associated with the app when uninstalling the app from their home-screen.

How can i save state of a chrome app?

I have created a story reading chrome app.
My problem is that whenever the app is relaunched it starts from the first page of the story.
How can i save the last state of the app so that it reloads from the point where it was left?
You can save state of the app using the chrome.storage API.
Suppose you want to store the index of the page, and you have some function to go to a page:
function goToIndex(index){
chrome.storage.local.set({lastIndex: index}, function() {
/* actual work */
});
}
And when your app initializes, read the value (note, it's all asynchronous):
// Safe default if the storage is empty; should be the first page
var defaultIndex = 0;
chrome.storage.local.get({lastIndex : defaultIndex}, function(result) {
goToIndex(result.lastIndex);
});
Optionally, this will also sync progress across browsers for logged in users, which is a nice feature. You can do it by using chrome.storage.sync instead of chrome.storage.local, but beware of rather harsh rate limits. It is best to implement your own rate limiting if you use this.

Azure mobile facebook authentication with iPhone HTML5 in app (full screen) mode

I have an HTML5 application that uses Azure mobile services authentication to login (straight from the example code...provided below). It works fine in all desktop browsers and iPhone 5 in Safari. But from app / full screen mode, it does nothing (doesn't ask for permission to show a popup window like it does in safari and no popup windows shows up) and I can wait forever and nothing happens. If I invoke it a second time, it gives an error saying "Error: Unexpected failure"...perhaps because the 1st attempt is still running? Any help/insight is appreciated.
client.login ("facebook").done(function (results) {
alert("You are now logged in as: " + results.userId);
}, function (err) {
alert("Error: " + err);
});
edited update with more info and 2 potential ideas*
I did some more research and found a site that uses an approach that overcomes this problem and also solves two other side effects with the current Azure mobile approach to authentication. I think the Azure mobile team might be looking to do something similar because there are some hints of other authentication options in the code (although difficult to read and be sure because the minimized code is obsfucated). It might be just a matter of activating these in the code...
The "solution":
Go to http://m.bcwars.com/ and click on the Facebook login. You'll see it works perfectly in iPhone Safari in "app mode" becuase instead of doing a popup, it simply stays in the current browser window.
This approach solves two other problems with the current Azure mobile approach. First, the popup gets interpreted by most browsers as a potential ad and is either blocked automatically (desktop Chrome) ... and the user doesn't know why it's not working...or gives a warning which the user has to approve (iPhone Safari in "browser mode") which is a hassle. And if the user has a popup blocker, it gets more difficult and even more potential for the user not getting it to work properly. The bcwars.com method doesn't have this problem.
Second, in iPhone Safari, when the popup window auto closes, the original page doesn't get focus if there are other browser windows open in Safari. Instead, it's in the smaller/slide mode so they can choose which one to show. If this happens, the user has to go through one more sttep...click on the browser window to activate it and give it focus..again more of a pain and more potential for them to mess up and not do it correctly and need help. The m.bcwars.com doesn't have this problem.
Azure options:
Looking at the Azure mobile code it looks like may already have the solution. I can't read it easliy becuase it's minified/obsfucated, but it seems to have 4 options (including iFrame, etc.) for invoking the authentication, and only 1 (the "less ideal one" of a popup) is being used. An easy solution would be to set a property to allow one of the alternate authentications to work. But I can't read it well enough to figure it out. Another would be to hack the code (temporarily until a fix is put up by Microsoft).
Could I get some help there perhaps?
You can implement an authentication flow with Facebook that doesn't use a popup. The basic idea is to use the 'Web Flow' for doing the login, and once the window return from the login, use the access token to login the user in to Azure Mobile Services.
The Facebook documentation for doing this is here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web-no-jssdk/#step2
Some code samples to make it easier for you.
You would start by something like this:
(Remember to replace YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_URL with something relevant to your site.
function logIn() {
window.location.replace('https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2FYOUR_URL&response_type=token')
}
This redirects the window to the Facebook page for the user to log in and authorize your app. When the user is done, Facebook will redirect the user back to YOUR_URL given above.
There you can handle the redirect and do the Mobile Services Login with something like this:
function handleLoginResponse() {
var frag = $.deparam.fragment();
if (frag.hasOwnProperty("access_token")) {
client.login("facebook", { access_token: frag.access_token }).then(function () {
// you're logged in
}, function (error) {
alert(error);
});
}
}
In here you parse the access token you get as a URL fragment and pass it as argument to the login call you make to Azure Mobile Services.
This code depends on the jquery BBQ plugin to handle the URL fragment easily.
Hope this solves your problem!

iphone how to capture simple login/logout event from web to native

I am developing iPhone application which loads login page of my website. I am able to load my login page using phonegap/childbrowser. I am newbie to JS, Phonegap.
How do my native/phonegap application should handle logout and login event has performed on the webpage? Please guide me how to know user has logged out.
Also is it possible to add support for Push Notification in phonegap/childbrowser application ? How?
So far have seen facebook login-logout questions around but hard to understand and couldnt simulate similar approach.
does your whole app run using the childbrowser? If so why not just have the login log out as piece of your app?
Also if you have to use the childbrowser best bet is to set up a locationchange event and if the location equals a login success page then append some arguments and store those using localstorage.
example -
client_browser.onLocationChange = function(loc){
locationchange(loc);
};
function locationchange(loc){
if(loc.indexOf("http://www.example.com/success?login=true&user=foo") > -1){
var user = loc.match(/user=(.*)$/)[1]; // grab user info
localStorage.setItem('login','true'); // set login as true
localStorage.setItem('user',user); // set username
}
}
that will save to your app locally that the user is logged in and their username, which you can use later if you need to use the childbrowser by passing that in the url you open and on the server side you'll have to look for those arguments.
to log out just open the childbrowser and send a logout argument
www.example.com/logout?user=foo
and in your localStorage
localStorage.setItem('login','false');
Honestly this is kind of a vague question, it would really help to understand why you're wanting to do this in the childBrowser vs your app...

How to Add facebook "Install App Button" on a Fanpage Tab (Based on working example)

For some time now I try to figure out how these guys were able to add "Sign online here" button which is "install App" button on their fan-page tab:
http://www.facebook.com/GuinnessIreland?v=app_165491161181
I've read around the web and couldn't come up with any solid solution. The FBML and FBJS documentation left me with nothing.
So please, if anyone can help me with this.
NOTE: To make multiple tests on the Ajax request that are sent, do not accept the App install. It behaves differently after that.
I had some problems with finding out about it as well. There is no info about this kind of behavior in wiki or anywhere. I got it working after trying some possible solutions and the simplest one is to make user interact with content embedded in fan page tab such as click on something etc. Then you need to post an ajax request with requirelogin parameter to pop up to come out. The simple example would be:
user_ajax = function() {
var ajax = new Ajax();
ajax.responseType = Ajax.RAW;
ajax.requireLogin = true;
ajax.ondone = function(data) {
new Dialog(Dialog.DIALOG_POP).showMessage('Status', data, button_confirm = 'Okay');
}
var url = "http://yourappurl.com/request_handler"
ajax.post(url);
}
And the trigger for it:
Interaction
Then if user is known to be using your application (fan page tab) you can prompt him for additional permission like publish stream or email communication by calling:
Facebook.showPermissionDialog('publish_stream,email');
Hope this solves the problem.
