our application is web integrated with mobile application.
develop web application in .net and mobile applications in iphone,android,blackberry,windows mobiles.
Now my requirement is i need to provide chat provision between web application and mobile application.
i found xmpp framework but i don't know xmpp supports in all mobile platforms.while i am checking xmpp does't support for iphone 3.0 simulator while i am executing the same framework it works with out any errors in iphone 4.0.
experts can any one suggest solution for my problem which is the most efficient framework that supports as my requirement.
thank you very much
If you mean groups.google.com/group/xmppframework
If most recent versions no longer support 3.0 you can go back to an older version which I know supported 3.0 (I used it to build a chat app for iPhone and Android), xmpp v2 perhaps. Or fix the lib to support 3.0 again, its a pretty simple library.
Google Talk uses XMPP so any mobile device supporting Google Talk will work including:
Android, BlackBerry, iPhone.

I want to do the following:
1- mobile friendly Portal - accessed through different Mobile Phones.
2- A mobile Applications that does the same functionality of the portal to different Platforms:
iOS(iPhone,iPad), BlackberryOS(Blackberry mobiles and Playbooks),Android OS (Android mobiles and Tabs), WindowsOS, Symbian OS (Smartphones).
I am mainly a web Developer and an iOS programmer using Objective-C, and I have resources that can develop on android, blackberry and other platforms using native languages.
the Application mainly present data from internal database and deals with different types of web services, and write data to the file system of the device itself.
what is the best practice for the mobile applications, do each one alone with its native language, or using HTML,CSS,JS and produce them to all platforms using PhoneGap or something else???
Thanks a lot.

With a javascript solution, your app will be available on stores but also directly on the web !
Is it possible to send GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests from iPhone || Android applications to a third party server?
I want to build a web service to reuse on all 3 platforms (3rd being the web app itself).
Yes, making HTTP requests on mobile devices running iOS or Android is no different from desktop Java or Cocoa. Both platforms offer API's that enable you to change the request method. Checkout NSURLConnection on iOS and the org.apache.http package on Android.
Well, it's all possible on both iOS and Android OS platforms, however while designing web service, you probably may consider a lightweight implementation as mobile platforms are not powerful enough if you for example intend to use SOAP extensively. My most often choice is REST+JSON.
this is an example of how to implement a webservice call in android:

I am not much clear with the "Cross Platform Apps." Can we really built up some apps which can run on iPhone/iPad , Android Phones/Tabs , Blackberry , Nokia (Any platform or more than one platform at least) ?
I have heard something like WAC , Titanium but really not clear with all these. Please help me out.
There are some good frameworks out there to build cross-platform mobile applications:
Titanium: It is a framework to build Android, IPhone (and BlackBerry, still in beta it seems) using javascript, that will compile to native applications for the platforms specified.
Rhodes: A ruby framework, that supports almost all the mobile platforms out there (recently they added support to WP7). It has an MVC structure, and can use RhoSync to synchronize the data to a server side application.
PhoneGap: Another javascript framework, but it supports more platforms than Titanium, because it doesn't compile to native applications, but it embeds a web application inside a native application (web apps/web views are supported in each platform, so it's easier to handle the portability this way).
The apps will have access to the hardware, like the camera/gps, through some generic apis.
In some case you can build specific native module to integrate them in just one application platform if you need to.
These frameworks are useful to build cross-platform application writing just one application, without having to write each single application with the platforms sdks.
They have some (or many) limitations. If your application are simple enough you can consider using one of those framework. But for more complex ones, sometimes, if you target only a couple of plaforms, it could take less time to build each one with native sdks individually than using one of this cross-platform framework, because of their limitations (I highly prefer using the Android SDK than using Titanium).
i am new developer here, write now i am develop application
using blackberry web/widget (eclipse) and the language i used is phonegap where phonegap support .html, .css, .javascript. so i want to know how my application work? is it
depend on os version or phone model or both?
thanks.
regards,
jamaley.
You develop with phonegap.
This is a framework that let's you create mobile apps with access to phonefunctions by using web standards.
You will need to compile your app for each platform (OS). Seperatly.
Of course you will need to take in mind the different resolutions for each phone.
Recently we are going to develop some products on mobile phone (specially for 3g). There are many platforms about mobile phones: iPhone OS, Symbian, Blackberry's. If I want to develop a product, should I use Java or write every program for the main platforms?
Particular one question for iPhone development: are there many Java programs on iPhone? Most iphone app I've seen are developed by their own xCode.
I need some guidance on how to do coding for mobiles correctly.
All these platforms are completely different beasts as in the old days. About symbian, (which I am most familiar with) you can use Qt for quality native applications. Native api is confusing so avoid it where possible. If your application is simple, you can even get away with python.
In short, use the language which you are most productive available for each platform. Their apis are wildly different anyway. Language choice doesn't matter as much as the choice of platforms you are supporting.
Java is not available for use on the iPhone; you can use Objective-C, C and C++ to develop iPhone applications.
There is currently no Java for iPhone, so you need to develop separately for iPhone in objective C.
Alternatively you can create application which runs in web browser, it'll be available on all platforms, but not every application is suitable for web.
Have you considered you using web technologies?
There are a couple of cross platform tool kits for iPhone and Android. They work in the same fashion as Adobe Air. Allowing you to make HTML/JS based web app and run it as native code in the browser.
Titanium Mobile (Android & iPhone) HTML/CSS/JS
Corona iPhone Only via Lua
Palm's Web OS is also based on web technologies.
Finally the old guard, Symbian Provides a Web Widgets system, that works in on all handsets with 9.2 fp 2 installed (n95,e72, n97 etc.) The api supports some hardware functionality.
The only one left out in the cold is Windows Mobile. There is some 3rd party support in the form of Web Widgets by torch mobile
It's currently limited to iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android (and possibly WinMo) but you may want to check out the open source project called PhoneGap. I think it is basically just a native wrapper around the built in web browser for each device, but it does expose some functionality not normally available in that environment such as geolocation, accelerometer, sound, etc.
