Native app for glowing-bear, the HTML5 irc client of the 21st century. Android, for now.
You can install the developer preview from the Google Play Store here
After cloning this repository, you will need to get the glowing-bear submodule:
git submodule init && git submodule update
Secondly, check out the wonderful nvm if you don't know it already, it's highly recommended.
Then, install cordova:
npm install -g cordova
Next, you need to have cordova generate all the necessary build files that aren't checked into git:
cordova platform update android
cordova platform update firefoxos
Don't worry about the errors it will spew at you (if you insist on having them disappear, just run the command again. It won't change anything, but this time around, no errors should be found).
Lastly you need to tell cordova about the plugins we use, and then you'll be ready to build!
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen
cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notificationType cordova build android to build. Your apk file will end up in the
/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/ folder.
Some other commands you might want to have a look at are cordova emulate to build and install in an Android emulator instance, or cordova run to build and install onto a device (or an emulator). You can also have a look at http://www.ng-newsletter.com/posts/angular-on-mobile.html#native for some more information.
As FirefoxOS apps are pure web apps, a simple cordova prepare firefoxos suffices to copy all the necessary files to the correct places. You can then point your Firefox to about:app-manager and add platforms/firefoxos/www as a packaged app. Done! If you want to learn more, https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/02/building-cordova-apps-for-firefox-os/ is a great starting point.
If you want to attach the browser's debugger, you need to tell Cordova to enable debugging. Do so with cordova plugin add com.jamiestarke.webviewdebug
