Best approach for mobile app

Hi

 

I have a requirement for the GPS tracking and photo taking, would it be
better for mobile web (HTML5) or native app approach?

 

I have taken a look at obfiz-on-smartphone, couldn’t get the server side
patches to be loaded.  Any advice?

 

Best regards.

Hi all,

What would be the approach on the Ofbiz server side?  Using Restful?  Am looking at this https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Export+service+using+REST

Stuck at this point:

LocalDispatcher dispatcher = GenericDispatcher.getLocalDispatcher("default",delegator);

Cannot resolve GenericDispatcher.

But it seems like Json already enabled, any example?

Divesh,

I am looking at this https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/ofbiz-on-smartphone/
Not familiar enough to install the server patches.

Thanks.

Hi Derek

You can do Photo taking and GPS navigation in Hybrid as well as native.

I have done a mobile project on Photo taking using Cordova-Crosswalk, and its easy and portable to Android and iOS. Have seen some demo for GPS navigation to via Cordova-ionic framework

If you want to extend it to iOS too, and your requirement will not extend beyond this (Photo taking and GPS), then IMHO, go for an ionic-cordova hybrid model.

But if you only want to target Android, and you need it very fast and stable, go for a native app.

P.S., now a days, with hardware catching up on mobile platform too, fast is a relative term but native still looks more efficient and light as compare to a hybrid app.

Hi Derek

You can do Photo taking and GPS navigation in Hybrid as well as native.

I have done a mobile project on Photo taking using Cordova-Crosswalk, and its easy and portable to Android and iOS. Have seen some demo for GPS navigation to via Cordova-ionic framework

If you want to extend it to iOS too, and your requirement will not extend beyond this (Photo taking and GPS), then IMHO, go for an ionic-cordova hybrid model.

But if you only want to target Android, and you need it very fast and stable, go for a native app.

P.S., now a days, with hardware catching up on mobile platform too, fast is a relative term but native still looks more efficient and light as compare to a hybrid app.

Dear Derek,

Both(Hybrid and native) type of application having merit and demerit

1) If you will chose hybrid then some time it will slow depend on server
configuration, but you can manage UI according to your requirement, both UI
and data will come from server only need to display in web-view.

2) native application is very fast compare to hybrid, in native app just
send internally request to get data , but need extra costing for dev,

Not sure which is better approach. But definitely GPS and mobile taking can
be achieved using Apache Cordova plugins if you go with  mobile web (HTML5)
or you can say hybrid app approach.

What do you mean by :
 I have taken a look at obfiz-on-smartphone, couldn’t get the server side
patches to be loaded.  Any advice?
