attaching a file via iPad using Lotus Notes XPages - xpages

I am fairly sure this is not possible because of limitations of the iPad but has anyone worked with the iPad and XPages to allow a user to choose a file from the iPad to attach on an XPage? For example, the user wants to attach a PDF file...where would he be able to get it on the iPad. I'm not an iPad expert, but from the little that I know, I don't think this is possible.
Thanks in advance.

iOS 6 allows you to upload photos or vidoes - not any other files.

The search option does not show on a mobile device using Housez theme

I decided to use the Housez theme as it advertises as super easy and flexible to use. I am not a web designer but have managed to get my site up and running. www.islandestates.net The problem I have is that there is no search option for the properties on a mobile device? The desktop version works well but how do I get a search box onto the mobile version?
The support from Housez is non existent, I have submitted a request to favetheme but they never reply.
Any help would be aprreciated.

Capturing and Saving Images using Camera in xPages

I have a requirement of capturing person image using camera and storing in IBM Notes native database and displaying it a field / area on front end (on xpage). Can I achieve this functionality in xpages? Supported equipment e.g. camera?
Can you please guide me is this possible? If yes how it's possible for both thick and thin client.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Qaiser
If you want to do this using a web application/ XPage (and not an app) you can't access the camera directly. However, if you use a file upload control on a mobile device (Android or iOS smartphone or tablet), it will ask you if you want to select a picture from the local gallery or take a picture.
I would use that feature to take and immediately upload the picture to the database. I recently wrote an article how to accomplish that using DropzoneJS: that plugin allows you to add for example a button to your XPage that says "Take picture" and immediately upload it to your Domino database once the picture is taken.

Can I make my universal app has different display name between iPhone and iPad

I want to make my universal app has different display name between iPad and iPhone, iPhone shows A and iPad shows B
Is there a possible way to do without split into 2 app?
Simple Answer : You can't.
If you are making an universal app. App store will have just one app for both iPhone and iPad.
If you want two different names, you can make two apps and upload them independently. One is for iPhone and another is for iPad.
Hope this will help you.
Regards.

Playing Flash Files (SWF/FLV) in C# Win Form

I have spent lots of time in doing google, but everywhere i have found only 2 way to play swf/flv in win form application and both are not working for me.
1.Using Shockwave flash object:
http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/635085/Playing-Flash-Files-SWF-in-Csharp-Form
I am able to add "Shockwave flash object" to toolbar but when i drop it on form, my visual studio gets restart immediately..
2.Playing swf in webbrowser control in winform:
This is also not working.
NOTE: I have done re-installation of flash player but still issue is same. Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.182 is installed on my machine.
I have event though of converting swf/flv into video and then play in some player in c# but for that also i am not able to find any free library/code to convert flv/swf to video.
Please provide any link or suggest.
Finally got the solution..
I had to install the IE specific version of flash player to get the things working correctly..
its very easy in three step
drag web browser from toolbox
in the properties of web browser go to URL and paste the address of your SWF file
now run the application

In XPages I can't get the File Upload Control to work inside of Mobile Controls

Now that iOS devices can upload from their picture library or camera, I'm trying to use the file upload control to get ahold of these pictures via an xpage. If it's a plain XPage it's working fine - but if I try to wrap this inside of the Mobile Controls from the extension library I can't get the picture to save. Other values save to the document but not the picture.
The file upload control is bound to a rich text field.
Any ideas would be appreciated!!!!
Place the file upload inside an Iframe.
Interesting. Are you saying that you can make the file upload control work with an XPage on an iOS device? I was of the clear impression that you do not have access to the camera from a web-app. In this case you need to wrap your web-app into a layer that can access the physical (e.g. Apache Cordova aka PhoneGap)....?
I know that some of these features are on their way in html5, however, the have so far been very unreliable (crashing the phones often).
