tabris | Tabris for Eclipse RAP | Code Editor library

I am trying very hard and losing my patience with trying to send a simple array across to tabris.js

using this ws.send(JSON.stringify(["friendArray",{data: results}])) i have to stringify it or it just crashes my tabris app for no reason but when i go to JSON.parse() it. it keeps just giveing me an error Unexpected token 1 in JSON at psotion 0

I'm honestly at a loss I don't know what I could be doing wrong it could be something super simple but I'm frying my brain just trying to come up with a way to transport this simple information could someone please point me in the right direction

I am trying to build a Tabris app for android that acts as a client for my socket.io server I was doing some reading and seen that the WebSocket API is supported in tabris.js so I try to connect to my socket.io server like this

var socket = new WebSocket('ws://159.89.92.113:4343');

but I get this error

The WebSocket protocol has too be a string or an array of strings

so then i tried to fill in that parameter with the only thing i could think of

var socket = new WebSocket('ws://159.89.92.113:4343', 'ws');

and then i get this error

Can not 'send' WebSocket message when WebSocket state is CONNECTING

i honestly dont know how to make this work i have tried alot of different things.

Tabris.js claims to be simple and offers a "getting started" demo app for noobs to try for themselves with a step by step guide.

Downloading the cli tool works seamlessly, and creating the initial demo app asks clear and sensible questions: what to call the app, etc. (I chose the defaults), what source language (I chose Typescript), what IDE (I chose VSCode).

The guide says building the app is as easy as tabris build {android|ios|windows} but here's the kicker...

Now I'm asked for a "Build key".

WTF? What's that then? Do I make one up? What form should it take? Where do I get one from? Do I need to pay?

Go to the docs: no mention of "build key".

Search the docs: there's mention of a SSH key if I'm accessing a repo outside of Git, or a Cordova key if I'm sideloading on Windows 10. Neither of these apply.

Tabris.js looked interesting enough that I downloaded the cli and the android app, but it's just one more disappointment if the makers can't document how to get "Hello world!" off the ground.

Can anyone tell me about the build key I need when I want to build a tabris.js app?

For anyone interested, here's their doc site... https://tabrisjs.com/documentation/latest/

Can I pass the name of the widget to the function to create Tabs?

Something like

• let widgetName = new Tab({ ...

Why?

• I need to put many different widgets inside of the each tab created, i.e.: .appendTo(tabCart)

Note: When I create a function createTextViews() I assign a unique

id: txvName +(index)

(an array is passed to createTextView(), then a forEach loop)

and can address each TextView by id, which works great.

Sample Code: (works on /playground)

Here is an example (works on playground) that creates widgets with a forEach loop. I use index to create a unique ID for the widgets:

I'm able to easily add Widgets to CollectionView, but I can't seem to add more than one Widget type. I'm trying to add 2 TextView's. Here's what I got so far, it only outputs the firstName twice. (this runs in Playground)

Also, is it possible to add events to each TextView? like: .on('tap', () => {

I do see how the .on('select',works, on the Collection View, but I want to add event to each individual TextView's

Thanks.

I've searched around questions but I didn't find anything.

I'm new to Tabris-JS framework, is very powerful and simple but I have some issue with the Splash Screen.

As mentioned in this commit, in Tabris-JS 2.x there are two theme options: one light theme, and the other dark theme. But they both have margin around the image.

The result is this (behind the image there is the 'dark gray' background):

I try to search for the correct Activity that is responsable for the Launcher, but I'm not good in Java.

PS: Splash Screen images are all correctly generated, with online tools for all screen sizes.

When I try to access my app via the URL in the Tabris.js 2 Developer app, I briefly see the message below, and the app returns me back to the URL screen:

"Could not load boot.min.js or boot.js file from tabris module 'node_modules/tabris'"

I tried running the basic out-of-the-box tabris test app (using tabris init in an empty directory) and the same issue happened, so I am confident that this is not something to do with my app.

Some other details:

• Using v2.0.0 of tabris.js, although this is happening with 2.0.0-rc2 as well
• The last time this worked with the same code base for me was prior to my phone (a Nexus 5X) being upgraded to Android Oreo. I wonder if the Tabris.js 2 Developer app has any issues running in Oreo?
• I know that the http-server is running correctly on my development machine, as I can navigate to http://[development-ip]:8080/package.json and get that file on my mobile device

Upnp looks harder to work with in TabrisJs.
It supports node packages to a large extent, but I am finding a tough time working with Upnp.

In package.json I got node-upnp-client
