I'm creating a presentation as part of my app. I'm using Indesign to
create the content and exporting as an article. There is content in
portions of the presentation that I would like to build as each page
progresses. Instead of swiping to the next page I would like to be able
to tap and it dissolve to the next page. This way portions of the build
would seem to stay in the same place instead of swiping to an entirely
new page. I hope I am making sense. Is there a way to create this cross
dissolv...
The situation that we are in is that we have launched a very intricate
app in English with a lot of content, but now need to do it in another
language. Is there a way to duplicate the project so that we are able to
go in and change the language on the cards and switch the content to the
new language?
We have an HTML Packager (AEMMobilePackager) article we're putting in
our app that is not responding the way it used to. In previous versions
of DPS, the final app would actually scale the content (there was an
option for this called "Scale Content to Fit").What we've tried:- the
previous version of DPS gave us a passable workaround, can't find its
equivalent in AEM- applying a viewport tag with values of 960px
and scale of 1Questions:- is there an option equivalent to "Scale
Content to Fit?"- ...
I never found a great workaround, but the thing I ended up doing was
checking the box in the overlay panel to "Open in device browser". This
isn't necessarily the most ideal thing, because it takes them out of the
app, but the usability was much better than within the app.
I downloaded the new Natural History Museum app and it did something I
haven't seen with AEM. The initial screen had a loading bar and said
"Downloading Latest Content". Does anyone know what this is doing
exactly? Is it automatically downloading the latest content or is this
just at the very first launch of the app? If it is automatically
downloading the latest update how did they do it? I think that would be
a better alternative than having the user tap "Update Available" every
time there is a...
One of the greatest benefits of AEM is being able to generate fresh
content and get it to our users easily. But often people think of the
word "update" as a negative word or a bug fix. Is there any way to
change "update available" to "new content" or something along those
lines. We would like to notify users that there is actually new content
and not just a bug fix.
I have tried inserting the embed code from YouTube 2 different ways in
my app. Object>Insert html and also creating a frame with a web overlay.
Both ways seem to work fine at first glance, but when you hit the full
screen button the video disappears while the audio continues to play and
then the app crashes. This is only on Android phones (nexus 6P and
samsung galaxy edge 7 to be specific). The Android tablet doesn't give
you the full screen button, which I would prefer if it's going to crash
th...
I've got a simple button within an indesign built article that is
linking to a PDF that is hosted online. When you tap the button It pulls
up the PDF correctly in the app, but when you try to pinch and zoom it
actually starts to zoom in on the app behind it, not the actual pdf.
It's a little hard to explain so I attached an image. You can see that
the PDF (that was filling the entire screen) moves off the screen as I
zoom in. Is this a bug or is this how it is supposed to act?
We will be launching our new app for tablet and phone (Android & iOS) in
a couple months, but wanted to ask if there was a good list of devices
that the app should be tested on? Obviously we can't go buy every device
on the market to test on, so is there a good list of 4-6 devices that
will give us a good representation of the entire market? Any other
testing pro tips would be welcome! Thanks.
In a previous post I asked what command I needed to use to navigate to a
specific spot further down in my smooth scrolling article when I have 2
top level navigations. The answer Bob gave was correct
(navto://relative/current#50%), but it is only working on iOS. When I
tap the button on Android it does nothing. Is there something I'm doing
wrong or is this a bug?
With the Android issue I have tried both using the full iframe code and
only part of it and I get the same result with both. I have seen other
AEM apps, specifically Adobe Create that when you tap the play button on
iOS it launches full screen and on Android it doesn't. But it also
doesn't give you the full screen button on the Android video player. I'd
be happy with this option except when I embed the code it gives me the
full screen button on Android and iOS. Also, it looks like the Adobe
Crea...
I am trying to create a smooth scrolling article that has inline video.
I would like the user to have the option to watch the video inline or
play the video full screen. I have 2 questions:1. I have seen on some of
the other AEM apps that when you tap play it automatically launches the
video in full screen mode. I can't figure out how they are doing this.
2. The full screen function works correctly on my iPad, but it freaks
out my Android app when I tap the full screen button. By freaking out I
...
Haha, that'll do it! What was weird is I tested the videos on the adobe
create app and the audio worked so I assumed it was our app. Not sure
why Adobe's videos worked and mine didn't, but I don't really care that
much now. Thanks Colin!
We have 2 production apps. 1 iOS and 1 Android. We have several videos
throughout the app, some are placed into video overlays native to the
app and others are placed using the insert html command and embedded
from YouTube. Currently the iOS version of the app is not playing the
audio through the tablet speakers. It is however, playing through
headphones when I plug them into the jack. We have tested this on
another iPad and are having the same issue. The Android seems to
function 100% correct. ...
I'm having trouble getting this to work. I've created a button and made
it go to url: navto://myarticle#50% I just want it to take me to another
spot further down in my article. When I load the article into my
collection and i tap the button I've created it looks like it's trying
to open another article then says "Content Not Found" and "Tap to
Refresh". I can scroll down to the section I'm wanting it to direct to,
so I know it did export as a smooth scrolling article. Doesn't seem like
this sho...
Thanks Keith. That at least tells me it is possible. For a reason we
can't figure out we can't get a consistent look across all platforms no
matter what we do with leading, padding, margins. It's really not even
close. But now I've at least got confirmation it's not acting the way
it's supposed to. Is there a place where I can walk through the problem
with someone at Adobe?
we are doing the same thing, but haven't been able to figure out how to
get the font to display in the layout template. It is showing up in the
test app, but would be nice if we could preview it in the layout
template. Any advice? We get an error in the layout template next to the
font name that basically says "there is an error, but it will display in
the app"
thanks for the response. Did you end up getting any answers? We've
tried every leading value and still are having trouble with it matching
across iOS, android and layout template. It becomes worse when adding
more than one text field.
I guess it's reassuring that someone else has had this same problem but
surely this is not what Adobe intended. I'm guessing that most users are
not having to look at the live app to see their changes. It just seems
like you could skip the layout templates if this was the case. I feel
like it must be on my end somewhere. I've just done everything I can
think of, and it's still not working.
Yes, we have done this. I guess the problem boils down to this. We can
get it to look exactly the way we want on the layout template set to
iPad, but when we update the test app the leading and even the
appearance of the font in some cases looks totally different. It
actually looks closer to the way we want it on the Android test app.
The screen shots you see here were made with a pair of OTF fonts. The
slab serif we've been able to convert to a WOFF for the Layout
Templates. The other we can't find a WOFF version of, nor will it permit
conversion. So we're looking for a replacement that provides web formats
or will permit conversion.
Sorry, I may not have been clear about what is different between the 2.
Yes, the crops, grids are the same, but I'm specifically talking about
the way the card titles are treated. More specifically the leading. The
leading on the cards are much different between the layout template and
the published app. And it becomes even more apparent if you see the
android version which is different than both the layout template and the
published iPad app.
