I am developing a PHP app that runs on an XDA2 PocketPC. It is for use by field engineers to book themselves to jobs whilst on-site, and it will update our internal stock system etc.
The need has arisen for signature capture, whereby a signature area is embedded into a web page and when the client signs the screen, it is transferred safely into a database at our offices.
I have looked at various possibilities but they all seem to rely on ASP/VBSCRIPT.
Has anyone ever come across something that will integrate with my PHP web app?
In a nutshell: Signature region in web page, user signs screen,signature data sent to a SQL database back at base.
Any ideas? :shock:
Hi limepickle
The webbrowser in WM2003 is really quite primitive in comparison to it's desktop counterparts these days. For that reason, i really do not think that you will find a way to do this in the browser.
I write software similar to that which you are talking about using .NET and i've considered using web pages once or twice for simpler apps, but signature capture was always the sticking point which I could never think of a way to acheive...
Sorry to disappoint you :roll:

Click to expand...

your gonna get stuck with a php version since the pocket IE isnt that great,
perhaps you can find a flash based signature capture and has flash on the pocket pcs?
this is our solution:
i created a custom application to do this for our company,
its developed using the OpenNet Compact Framework.
its a fullscreen signature app and when the rep is ready to upload the signature they click the send button that transfers it to a ASP.NET web service. this then saves the image as Jpeg to a shared folder and also to SQL for archiving,
check out:

Yes, I think you're right, Flash will probably be the way to go, seeing as everyone seems to to be .NET / ASP crazy!!!!
LOL
PS. thanks Pope and djrm, I do appreciate you trying to help, its just that anything to do with .net vb etc, may as well be Urdu.
asp.net web signature capture control
You can try out http://mysignature.brinkster.net for this

Hi, this is my code, i cant get upload a simple file:
Signgin in to DropBox:
.....private AccessTokenPair tokensDB;
.....private DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession> mDBApi;
.....final static private AccessType ACCESS_TYPE = AccessType.DROPBOX;
.....AppKeyPair appKeys = new AppKeyPair(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET);
.....AndroidAuthSession sesDropBox = new AndroidAuthSession(appKeys, ACCESS_TYPE);
.....mDBApi = new DropboxAPI<AndroidAuthSession>(sesDropBox);
.....mDBApi.getSession().startAuthentication(this);
When activity resums this code is executed:
.....mDBApi.getSession().finishAuthentication();
.....tokensDB = mDBApi.getSession().getAccessTokenPair();
when the user clicks over a button in same activity next code is executed:
protected void subeArchivos() {
.....// Uploading content.
.....String fileContents = "Hello World, this is only an example!!";
.....ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileContents.getBytes());
.....try {
..........mDBApi.putFile("/testing.txt", inputStream, fileContents.length(), null, null);
..........//Log.i("DbExampleLog", "The uploaded file's rev is: " + newEntry.rev);
.....} catch (DropboxUnlinkedException e) {
..........// User has unlinked, ask them to link again here.
..........Log.e("DbExampleLog", "User has unlinked.");
.....} catch (DropboxException e) {
..........toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "C U A: " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
..........toast.show();
..........//Log.e("DbExampleLog", "Something went wrong while uploading.");
.....}
}
The code in red throws error. and after the conde in yellow is executed.
My mnifiest permissions are:
.....<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>
.....<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
.....<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS"></uses-permission>
P.D. All works, exept code in red!!
I hope you can help me!! thx!!
anyone??
I didn't understand anything exc. that you can't upload any file with Dropbox, but I had similar problem. Seems you shouldn't delete the Downloads app, else it bugs DB uploads.
Hope it helps.
thx man, every folder in his place, but maybe something in my code is wrong!!
Hi all,
I build a software for myself that read from Whatsapp db (that stored on my android device)..
I trying to read from thumb_image column but cannot find the correct way ...
I write this software on c# language... and the code for read its column as follows:
//thumbImage is the value that stored in thumb_image column.
byte[] encodedbytes = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(thumbImage);
string encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(encodedbytes);
byte[] utf8Decoded = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(encoded);
File.WriteAllBytes("Images\\" + mdeiaName, utf8Decoded);
but it's not working, so i trying to use IronPython as following:
string pythonScript = @"import base64
class DecryptString(object):
def Decrypt(self, str):
return base64.b64encode(str).decode(""utf-8"")";
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();
ScriptSource source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(pythonScript);
ScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();
source.Execute(scope);
dynamic DecryptString = scope.GetVariable("DecryptString");
dynamic decryptString = DecryptString();
var result = decryptString.Decrypt(thumbImage);
File.WriteAllText("Images\\" + mdeiaName, result);
but without success...
Can somebody help me?
I need to send an MMS with multiple attachment to multiple recipients in HTC device,below is my code
ArrayList<Uri> files = new ArrayList<Uri>();
for (int i = 0; i < filePaths.length; i++) {
File file = new File(filePaths);
Uri imageUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
files.add(imageUri);
}
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE);
sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms","com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
sendIntent.putExtra("address","33434;674374763;89998");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body",etmsg.getText().toString());
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, files);
sendIntent.setType(mimetype);
startActivity(sendIntent);
i have tried with putParcelableArrayListExtra also.
The problem is files are not attaching to the message.Anybody please help to resolve this.
This is my code.
Code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
InputStream inputStream = p.getInputStream();
OutputStream outputStream = p.getOutputStream();
outputStream.write("screencap\n".getBytes());
outputStream.flush();
sleep(1000);
byte[] b = new byte[inputStream.read()];
inputStream.read(b);
System.out.println(b.length);
But b is empty.
I can get back by running screencap with adb. And I don't need to save to disk; I need to identify the image content.
