Using Backbone.js with jQuery Mobile. Backbone.js is an architectural framework that helps you write well-structured Web applications. It is not, however, a user interface framework and it therefore doesn’t help you with the way your application looks. Backbone’s confined scope is a good thing: it’s lightweight, non-intrusive, not coupled to things you don’t need, and it lets you use the UI toolkit of your choice or simply roll your own styles and widgets.
In my previous post, I demonstrated how to use Twitter Bootstrap on top of Backbone. Quest for a Mobile UI Toolkit After that post, I wanted to create a mobile version of the same application; a version that I could package with PhoneGap and that would look and behave like a native app. Twitter Bootstrap can probably be tweaked for that purpose as well, but I was looking for a UI toolkit dedicated to providing native looking controls and behaviors on mobile devices. Another Way to Use jQuery Mobile Sample Application Here is the app: How it works Is this the right stack? Camera | a free jQuery slideshow by Pixedelic. A simple slide This is the "simple anathomy" of a slide: Captions You can add a caption to the slide, just put a div with class "camera_caption" into the div above: <div data-src="images/image_1.jpg"><div class="camera_caption">The text of your caption</div></div> By adding one more class to the "camera_caption" div you can decide the effect of the caption.
HTML elements You can also put some HTML elements into your slides. <div data-src="images/image_1.jpg"><div class="fadeIn camera_effected">The text of your html element</div></div> An HTML element can have a class "fadeIn": in this case it will be displayed with a fading effect. Videos To include a video into your slideshow you must put an iframe into one of your slides: As you can see I set the width and the height of the iframe to 100%, so it changes its size according with the size of the slideshows (I mean the iframe, the video in the iframe will mantain its ratio).
The "data-" attributes or a particular alignment for one slide only: jQuery Mobile Tutorial: Creating a Restaurant Picker Web App. Mar 08 2012 With an increase in the number, diversity and complexity of smartphones, more and more companies want to have their own mobile app, but creating a native app can be pretty expensive. It requires special skills, as well as special coding tools, and then there is also the need to build an app per platform (Android, iOs, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, etc). All of this figures in to a higher price tag for the app development. Another solution for developers is then to create something called web-apps: HTML CSS apps, which users can access from their browsers. The jQuery framework has been around the web for a while now, but the jQuery base technology was basically designed for browser apps. jQuery Mobile is a framework based on jQuery that enables web designers to create web-apps that are optimized for use on a mobile device (Smartphone and tablets).
