Does Facebook use an HTML5 framework for its mobile apps? - facebook

The Facebook iOS app, Android app, and mobile website are all very similar making me think they are all build using the same HTML5 framework. I'm particularly interested in the UI of the menu button on the top left that when clicked slides the window to the right to reveal a menu. I've seen other apps that do this too so I'm thinking they might be using a common framework. I've looked into JQuery Mobile and Sencha Touch, but they don't have that menu UI. Does anyone know what they are using?

Facebook is no longer using HTML5. Here is a Sencha Touch plugin, this is the closest that is available right now for ST as far as I know:

Unity 5 - Unity Editor Facebook Login unresponsive size

I'm a newbie start making my game on Unity. Current stage is testing with Facebook and make a leader board from it.
Currently I'm using Unity 5.1.1f1 Personal Edition and Facebook SDK 7.0.2 beta because SDK 6.2.2 doesn't work with Unity 5.1.
I've watched this guy's tutorial (youtube's link) on how to integrate Facebook SDK with Unity. The Facebook login panel is very weird on my game screen (My game is made for iPhone portrait orientation). Below is the link to the screenshot.

You can see the Box is not responsive with screen size. If I didn't set game screen to "Maximize On Play" I can't press the "Login" button. I tried to find how to change its size or design but I've found none.
The second problem is I have tried build this project and deploy on my iPhone with iOS 8.4. Every time I press "Facebook Login" button, nothing came up and the app crashed.
I don't know this is beta problem or what but it's kinda basic function of this SDK.. just login and it's not functional as it should be.
That Legacy UI which you are seeing in Unity Editor has nothing to do with IOS build. your App will redirect to Facebook page/App for Login Authentication. So in editor you can just set game view to free aspects from top left and use login controls by resizing your game view. and regarding other issue please provide code which you are using for Login button. and try to log to know why is your game crashing.

How to create facebook mobile application navigation bar?

does anyone know how to make navigation bar like facebook navigation bar on web mobile application (using sencha touch)?? really wants to add that navigation bar on my application.. thanks a lot.. :)
here's the example:
Checkout lungo.js. It's not Sencha, but their kitchen sink shows exactly what you are looking for.
Have a look to this little library. It is a really EASY Framework implementation (javascript, CSS3, HTML5) about how to build this kind of applications with a pretty sidebar such Facebook one.
Download "jbackbone-mobile" from here,
https://github.com/mjromper/jbackbone-mobile
and see this demo from any browser (device or desktop)
http://lab.ochio.com.es/jbackbone/index.html
Cheers,
you can use Jquery mobile, the panel thing they have is exactly that and it can be just used the same way.
My problem with lungo.js is that their framework is slow on mobiles(my android tablet and my lg viper 4g lte under wifi and 3g) so they might have the thing and the look you are looking for, but go with jquery mobile developers and using their panels is even better than Lungo.js and if you are a designer you can figure it out things from there.

PhoneGap -- or something else? For iOS app utilizing Swipes and Pinches

My iOS app needs to utilize "swipes" gestures and "pinches". I'd rather not develop native iOS app myself, but use some tool like PhoneGap or anything like that. I want this to be pretty much a Web app, as much as possible, so I don'd deal with constant forever-taking updates thru App Store.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
To answer your question, yes PhoneGap can work with swipe. I just got done trying it with jQuery Mobile to answer this questions here: How to swipe between several jquery mobile pages?
As for Pinch. The Mobile Safari browser that works inside of PhoneGap supports it, so I suspect that you would be able to use it in the same context as you would in a normal mobile web application. Pinch to zoom, double tap to Zoom and center to a block element. I do not believe that PhoneGap or JQuery Mobile give you access to any pinch events to intercept and do your own thing with, like "pinch to make a noise" or something.

Add PhoneGap to existing native app

I have an existing objectiveC native app for iPhone. Can i add a button in native app so that clicking on to that will bring up phonegap UI (ie, which use phonegap framework). Is there any way to acheive this.
As much as I know/explored -
On click of a button you can open up an HTML page in your web view(as we do it while building a PhoneGap app.).
But if you want to open the same Native App to get converted in PhoneGap app that's not going to work for sure.
Hope it helps. :)

Is jQuery needed for PhoneGap?

I am new to Phonegap to develop native Applications. I cant see any jQuery files under WWW folder. Why should i download it?
Is it possible to bring UITabBar, UITableView everything through Phonegap and javascript without jQuery? What is senchaTouch, what is the purpose of it? Anybody can give clear direction?
jQuery is not required to make apps with PhoneGap. However, if you would like to, you can use jQuery in your apps if you wish (jQuery just uses Javascript itself).
UITabBar and UITableView are native iOS controls. PhoneGap does not provide a way for you to use those at the moment. But if you take a look at the PhoneGap roadmap, you will see a bullet point marked "Native Controls" - so don't give up hope!
