I'd like to know whether it is possible to integrate the GPS navigation using either Sygic or Copilot in a PhoneGap/Apache Cordova application?
Yes it is possible. If you want to know more about how thats a different question and have different solutions based on intent, geo url etc.

My team and I just developed a web base system. Next, we are planning to build an android mobile app version of the system. But none of us have experience of creating a mobile app. I did some reading from google, I saw many posting about kotlin, volley, retrofit etc.
One thing I still don't understand, can someone tell me how kotlin, groovy are different with retrofit and volley?
Is it just like web base development where one is for front end development and another one is for backend?
My app would need to constantly fetch and submit data to phpmyadmin (which I put in my VPS hosting).
Can someone give me a suggestion which library is the best for me to use to create my mobile app?
Thank you in advance!
I'd like to use Google Analytics to track usage of a command line Node app. Tracking will be strictly opt-in. I'd like to track basic usage, plus which operating system and version of Node was used.
I've found the Measurement Protocol, but I'm wondering whats the best way to set up Google Analytics.
You can choose from Web or App - App seems the best fit, but then I'm sent to Firebase to set up an iOS, Android or Web app. None of these are correct. So is 'Web' the best way to track my app usage? Or is Google Analytics not the right approach?
Seems like the best approach is Google Measurement Protocol. There's a Node library for it.
Really Google Analytics is completely designed around web apps and more recently mobile apps, it has concepts like "page views" which don't make sense for CLIs, and Firebase Analytics is only for Android and iOS.
You might be able to shoehorn he CLI use case for some purposes. Alternatively, you could consider using a cloud database like Firebase real-time DB to capture your own events.
Google analytics really isnt designed for something like this. You have only two options web app where everything is page based. http://example.com/hello.php vs using a mobile app where everything is screen based. Home, about, help.
I have done this before with several console applications, a custom SSIS task (dll) and an arduino project. I chose mobile application mainly because i thought it was closer. I know of someone who did the same with an actions on google project.
In the end what you use will be up to you. Just consider what it is you want to track exactly and lay it out before you start.
If you choose mobile make sure you send Screen views and not page views. The Google analytics website is split you cant mix and match the hit type.
Workaround for createing moble account without firebase.
create a new web property on Google analytics type Web
create a new view under that web property type mobile.
We made Console Cat for this exact purpose! It's built from the ground up to track telemetry / analytics for CLIs including things like flags, command duration, version, etc.
I am confused about the following two Microsoft Azure libraries:
azure-mobile-apps-js-client
cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps
Does anybody know which one to use when? Or what are the advantages of one over other?
From their names, it appears that the "azure-mobile-apps-js-client" will not contain cordova features while "cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps" does. Is that the only difference?
My previous questions were more generic. So adding some more comments to give you more context on why I have those questions.
I was building an Ionic 2 app some time back then stopped it for a couple of months. Now getting back on Ionic app and see this new JS Client library (azure-mobile-apps-js-client) around. My Ionic 2 app is basically going to invoke/call REST endpoints implemented in Azure Mobile App backend developed using Node.js.
Last time when I was developing it by following Microsoft documentation for Azure Mobile Apps, I tried to use "cordova-plugin-ms-azure-mobile-apps" as per the docs.
Now I see this new library (azure-mobile-apps-js-client).
And therefore I have confusion on which one really to use. If anybody has a link that describes both of these libraries in detail and their differences then please do share the link. It would be great!
The cordova plugin is the JS client wrapped in a plugin. Use whichever is more convenient for you.
Is anyone familiar with how to implement Urban Airships IAP to the Phonegap InAppPurchaseManager plugin? The reason I am asking is because I am selling magazines and want to be able to download them to my free app instead of having to always update my app, which in turn also gets bigger with each added issue.
Thanks in Advance!
Do you know any node.js application that do something similar to http://olark.com. Not necessarily for multiple website, I just need it for single domain.
I just want to install it myself on heroku and run chat customer support for my website on it.
Thanks,
Michal
Try out opensource-olark. I built it for my own use - it may be useful to you. It is not entirely based on Nodejs. But it works exactly like Olark. It uses strophe.js - A xmpp push based library for jabber which works with BOSH
try http://www.vivocha.com, based on node.js
It's very symple to use and you can integrate with other applications via API (with CRMs and ticketing systems for exemple).
This platform, with only one line of code on your website, allow you to configure all the widgets, without other tech skills needed.
And also, you can adding voice on your website, so you can call with your visitors directly on your web pages.
There are open source tools that you can check out like :
http://nowjs.com
http://www.socketstream.org
They allow you to incorporate realtime features into your nodejs app & you can probably have a very simplified olark-type app in just a couple lines of code.
