      Preface

      Sencha Touch is a HTML5-compliant framework for development of touch-based applications. An application written using this framework can be run—without any change—on iOS, Android, and Blackberry-based touch devices. The framework comes along with numerous built-in UI components similar to the ones that we see on different mobile platforms, nicely designed with efficient data package to work with varied client-side or server-side data sources. In addition to this, the framework also offers APIs to work with DOM and it brings in the extensibility to every aspect of it, which is a bingo combination that every enterprise looks for and expects from a framework.

      What this book covers

      Chapter 1, Gear up for the Journey. This chapter is all about setting up the right development environment for iOS, Android, and Blackberry. It covers the detailed step to set up the environment using which we can build and test our application, either on a browser or on an emulator or a real device. The latter half of the chapter covers the Sencha Touch APIs that can be used to detect what device our application is running, what platform the application is running, what features are offered by a platform, how to handle orientation change, and build profiles for different platforms or devices and let our application configure itself using those profiles.

      Chapter 2, Catering to your Form Related Needs. This chapter covers every aspect of a form, including the different form fields offered by Sencha Touch, configuring each one of them for the user in a form, and configuring ways by which a typical form validation can be done. Fields such as Search, E-mail, DatePicker, Select, Slider, Checkbox, TextArea, FieldSet, and so on are covered in this chapter along with their detailed usage.

      Chapter 3, Containers and Layouts. Containers contain one or more child items, and layouts help us position our content properly on the screen, and this chapter is all about them. It covers what are the different types of containers and layouts available with the framework and their behavior, which is a key point in developing an application where we would have nested containers, each one of them having their own layout to position their children on the screen.

      Chapter 4, Building Custom Views. If the components offered by Sencha Touch is not sufficient to achieve the layout and look-n-feel that we are looking for, then custom views is the way to go. In this chapter, we cover Template, XTemplate, and DataView classes of Sencha Touch to see how to build custom views and how to handle events on it to build interactive custom views.

      Chapter 5, Dealing with Data and Data Sources. This chapter is all about working with different data sources, storing data on the client side and using it in the most effective way. It shows how to work with the local data source, as well as remote data source. The chapter also covers how to associate data with different components, including form, and validating, filtering, grouping, and sorting data.

      Chapter 6, Adding the Components. This chapter covers various other components of Sencha Touch such as Button, ActionSheet, List, IndexBar, NestedList, Picker, Toolbar, and so on. It demonstrates how to configure each of these components.

      Chapter 7, Adding Audio/Visual Appeal. This chapter covers how to work with media—audio and video—and different graphs and charts to present our data, graphically. As charts don't come with Sencha Touch, this chapter explains the steps to configure the charts framework with Sencha Touch and then use it to build interactive charts.

      Chapter 8, Taking your Application Offline. In this chapter, we will see how to detect the offline mode on a device or a platform and how to model our application to make it work even in the offline mode.

      Chapter 9, Engaging Users by Responding to Events. In browsers, we have mouse events whereas a touch device raises events specific to touch actions such as tab, Double tap, drag, swipe, and so on. In this chapter, we will look at the list of touch events the framework offers and the ways to handle them to respond to those events.

      Chapter 10, Increased Relevance Using Geolocation. This chapter shows how to fetch the GeoLocation information on a device/platform and work with it. We will cover various aspects such as how to find out the direction and speed at which the device is moving, and how to integrate the Geolocation information with Google map to show interesting and relevant information to the user.

      What you need for this book

      In order to follow this book, you would need the Sencha Touch framework and good knowledge of JavaScript and some knowledge of HTML and CSS. The following list shows the software needed:

      Who this book is for

      This book is for someone who wants to learn about a framework which can be used to develop HTML5-compliant mobile applications, and can work on various different platforms—Android, iOS, and BlackBerry. This cookbook provides numerous recipes for the developers to understand Sencha Touch functionalities, in general, and use them to address practical needs in particular.

      Conventions

      In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

      Code words in text are shown as follows: Copy phonegap.1.0.0.js from your PhoneGap downloaded earlier to assets/www.

      A block of code is set as follows:

      Ext.setup({

        onReady: function() {

          if (Ext.is.Android)

            Ext.Msg.alert(INFO, Welcome Android user!);

           

          if (Ext.is.Blackberry)

            Ext.Msg.alert(INFO, Welcome Blackberry user!);

           

          if (Ext.is.iPad)

            Ext.Msg.alert(INFO, Welcome iPad user!);

        }

      });

      When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

      layout: {

                type: 'hbox',

               

      direction: 'reverse'

       

      }

      New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "
