I have an iPhone app built with PhoneGap (driven by AngularJS) that scans and processes barcodes just the way I want it to. I also have a webapp (also powered by AngularJS) that needs to accept barcode input and do similar processing. Since using a webcam to scan a barcode is not very elegant and I don't want to buy a barcode scanner for the computer running the webapp, I am trying to use the iPhone to scan a barcode (which already works) and send that data to my web application. Can anybody
I have thought about tethering the iphone to the computer with bluetooth, but have no idea how to send/receive bluetooth data through JavaScript. Should it be over wifi and use the AngularJS $http service?
You could use WebSockets and a library like Pusher:
http://pusher.com/docs/javascript_quick_start
It allows events to fire based on execution on another page. So on your scan success callback you can trigger an event which can send information to another web page simultaneously.

I have developed a program which detects human in real time(webcam) and displays it to the webpage of the local network. This is done by creating a server and websockets using Node.js and opencv.
Now, I have to develop an android app where i should get a notification everytime when the human is detected from the webcam video of a local host. How can i achieve this using node.js server and android interfacing?
Any suggestions or inputs with code examples would be more helpful.
Try using ionic to convert between webpages and android. Then use push notifications to alert the user.
I have windows application in c#.that is installed for client . I need run that window application from client side when user button click in asp.net web application
Explanation
I have task that scan hard copy from scanner . I developed web application in asp.net c#. I have search in Google to do this so many peoples are saying that is not possible due to permissions. so I developed windows application when I run that window application(c#) it scan the hard copy from scanner this window application run in background so I need to run this window application. when user button click in asp.net web application
You cannot run applications from a website on client's machine due to security & permissions.
However, your website probably can communicate with the scanner. Check this detailed answer.
While you cannot run the application from the browser, there is another option, if your application is already running in the background. Then you can make it listen to some local port and then ask the browser to redirect to the URL (consisting of localhost and that port, e.g. http://localhost:34554), so the application would receive an HTTP request and will know it needs to become active / show its window / etc. Using this technique, you could even pass some parameters to your application using query params in the URL.
Another option that allows you kinda run an application from the browser is Microsoft ClickOnce - it is just a simplified way of installing and running an application without the need for the user to download and manually run the installer.
I have created simple chat application which is fully based on html, JavaScript and JQuery on the UI side and Spring REST in back-end (DB). here i'm using phone gap to convert my web app into native Android application. lets assume the scenario that, there are the two users in one conversation, the first user sending message to the second user. here i want to update the second user screen using atmosphere asynchronous communication.
but the Android WebView isn't supporting websockets to perform asynchronous communication between the server and the client. how can use atmosphere plugin on the android WebView.
is there any possible ways to do it? please share your answers if you know.
Thanks.
I am wanting to develop an application for mobile devices, which shows in real time where a user (with this software installed on your mobile device) is. The idea would be that one (or more) users could follow the map the displacement of another user via GPS. I want to use PhoneGap with HTML5 and CSS and Javascript.
My question is: Is it possible to do that with these technologies? If yes, where can I get information of how to handle the GPS that way? If you can not, which language would give me this possibility and where can I get information? At first, I intend to develop this Application for Android and IOS.
Yes it’s very much possible with PhoneGap technology. You have to write a web service to keep the GPS coordinates as user updates (or auto updates) in server. You can let other users to connect to Web service and get the info they wanted (i.e. the data they wanted to see the current location of the user). You developed using PhoneGap means, it’ll work for iPhone too.
You can easily develop a web service either using PHP, Java or C# though C# web services are easy to write and maintain but PHP web servers are cheap compare to windows hosting (which you will need to host C# web service).
The question you asked is very broad so can write a 1000 words article and beyond. If you ask specific question I can answer that.
I don't know if I googled it correctly but I could not find the answer for my question.
I'd like to know if it's possible to code a html5 with javascript (maybe jquery mobile for the UI) and css without using "native compilers/builders" like sencha touch or phonegap and store the page locally (using file:// protocol).
E.g: Let's say that I want to build a simple HTML5 calculator. I don't want any server-side processing, I just want some html buttons to call javascript functions to perform client side only operations. If I make such page, let's call it calc.html and download it to the mobile (via usb/http download), can I open this calc.html with the internal browser and use the calculator? Or do I have to compile/build this calc.html into a Webview (for Android) or something like it to get it done?
Would this work for Android, IPhone, Windows Phone and others with localStorage/sessionStorage?
You want an Offline Web Application.
This article seems to explains step by step how to do this.

Creating a website like this, will allow you to bookmark it and have a shortcut icon in the phone's dashboard that will allow you to load your page in the browser for those cases where you don't have a data connection. In the case where the phone has a data connection, it will load the manifest to check if there are any new files to update the application. I don't think there is a way to make it truly offline though.
