Is there a plan for a CP mobile app?

[Lost User]

How do we get that?

[OriginalGriff]

Browse to Cp on a mobile device, the user agent info tells CP and it switches to the Mobile layout.

I assume that is the same for the iPad, as the display is subtly different in places.

Visit CP on your mobile... (This message was sent from my Samsung Galaxy 3 mini)

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Mobile apps suck even worse than Web apps.

Nothing in particular. A mobile app lets you omit a few steps that's all.

I understand that, I just wished there was one. :-D

I get that it is a joke and I like it, however, a lot of people really value accessibility on the go. For a person carrying a laptop, it is not a problem. But when we are not, it comes down to the mobile.

Ah, but in a mobile app it is impossible to block the ads. Just saying...

Same here. It works well for me also. On chrome for android you can "Add to home screen" from the settings menu, which lets you launch CP in browser as if you were launching an app.

On the other hand, you have different fingers. - Steven Wright

You mean like, a browser for mobile devices? (seriously, I don't the point, primarily because I've never seen an "app" for a site that is little more than a poor wrapper around said web site, that actually provides less functionality than a browser)

I think it would be better (from a delivery, maintenance and usability point of view) to have a truly responsive website.  CP's current rendering on mobile is pretty terrible. :( /ravi

I have been working, off and on, on a mobile app for CP based off the API for a little while now. It's using the same core codebase that I used in a couple of articles, but extended to cover the rest of the API. The idea is that there's going to be a couple of articles around this as well. Unfortunately, the API isn't stable enough right now for me to want to stake what little reputation I have on pushing out something against an API that may, or may not be, running at any given point.

a) Everytime you visit CodeProject and decide not to support our sponsors a kitten dies b) There are no ads on the mobile version.

The cat is out. ;P

Cool, may I see that? I'd really like to.

It's still, very much, a work in progress. It's based on the code I started here[^].

If you make your web apps suck less, will your mobile app suck less too? :laugh:

Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Mobile rendering working great on my iPhone 7+

Kip... There is only one way, and no it’s not mine.
