search for CGTek Viewer. evothings is not in the app store. CGTek viewer is a clone - works for me.

I would like to ask whether it is possible to use evothings as web application rather than native iOS or android app? because the EVO studio does not start until and unless it is paired with a mobile application

@evothings_twitter, @phatpaul @faizaanshah @jaycassera_twitter : HyperReload and Evothings Studio both contains hyper code (both have folder named hyper that contains HyperReload code). Both also implemented port: 4042 even though Cloud based HyperReload scans for domain name and IP address. Evothings Studio and Evothings Viewer both connect to HyperReload cloud so in fact HyperReload acted as middle layer between the Studio and the Viewer.

If you run both HyperReload and Evothings-Studio locally on the same network then you will have port conflict problems since both of them are using port:4042. Obviously you want to start HyperReload first. You will be able to connect to it with the Viewer App by modifying the URL in the settings but Evothings-Studio wont work unless you change its own port address to something else and not 4042.

Also there are still some Ruby code around building HyperReload and some hard-coded paths and folders.

I will be doing some more exploration of them, built them in the past so it will nice to revisit those knowledge again

See:
Evothings-Viewer ==> App.js; study it very well.
Evothings-Studio ==> Hyper/setting/setting.js; Also most the files inside the hyper/server folde e.g. file-server.js; app, uuid, monitor, etc.. are important core to understanding how inter-process communication between those there packages work and exchange data
HyperReload: ==> again see the hyper folder and look at hyper-server.js (to see how server-base(URL) App-path, IP-address, etc... are set-up). The webserver.js (mini webserver that host HyperReload). Have fun!

See Also: MoSync and Reload: this is where its all began

Hi, My drag and drop isn't working in evothings my apps, any clues please?

@rm-rf-etc

Has anyone had success running evothings with a create-react-app project? I have a react project which I am building for desktop (electron), mobile (evothings / cordova), and web.

Running the project with evothings is almost completely working. The main trouble I have is that the index.html file evothings reads is not the index.html that the webpack dev-server generates. I've had some success by making these two files very similar, but some things still don't work, like the CSS generated by the styled-components library. This is broken because the CSS get's dynamically injected into the head of the index.html file.

Does anyone know how to direct evothings to read the index.html output from webpack dev-server?

Rob

Wow, I guess it's really dead around here

@evothings_twitter Has anyone gotten the TypeError: ble.** is not a function/ is undefined for certain BLE calls that are supposedly in the BLE Plug-In. For example, ble.connect works but ble.connectToDevice returns the error. Similarly, ble.readCharacteristic works but ble.getCharacteristic returns the error. Anyone know what to do about this?

Hello, I am using Evothings 2.2.1, and it keeps disconnecting ! I have to keep connecting over and over again.

@mazekeeper - Hello - I remember working with you a year back and I started on Evothings again.
Is the app still supported ? I dont see much of an activity on this forum !

@rm-rf-etc - Did someone reply to your query ? is this forum active ? any developers here ?

FredGr

@FredGr

Hello, when I started developping multiplatform app, evothings has been really helpful. From time to time you can get support on this forum from other users.

Then I shifted to using Cordova directly and realized this is not so difficult even if you have to do the manual reload every time. But you get better control especially if you want to do some specific things with new cordova plugin. Hope it helps.

does anyone know why evothings workbench does not return a key?

@sanyaade-machine-learning

I heard that the jury is out on Evothings framework so in order to use it locally I downgraded to 2.0 which was last version of Evothings Workbench that runs locally without cloud connection. I was planning to scale up that edition gradually but doing so will violate the organisation intention. Also I look at PhoneGap Desktop, Snack-web, Expo and other similar framework that has hot-reload (A.K.A Live-Reload). Right now I am working on setup a server at home for machine learning, later on I will come back to Evothings

God blesses!!!

The viewer app is no longer available in AppStore Australia...

Checking on the forum seems to be no longer supported? last message in 2016.

@ewhite18

I just downloaded evothings in hopes that I will be able to connect it to my esp8266 which I'm using to run my door lock. I'd like to have an app for my roommates and I that would allow us to remotely lock and unlock the door. It seems that you need to reconnect your phone to the evothings app everytime you want to access the app. How can I make sure that the app stays connected to the esp8266 indefinitely?

@FRAUBRJ

jjacques.aubry@free.frHello, I use Evothings 2.2.1 on Mac and I try to compile an Android app (*.apk). But I have an error when unZipping the file "Gradle-2.13-all.zip": zip file is empty! This is normal because the URL of the file to load is no longer the right one. Indeed, it is now necessary to use "https://" and not "http://"
The right URL is now: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.12-all.zip
I do not know how to solve this problem, because even in the code of Evothings Studio I can not find trace of this URL. Need helps.

Alory

@Alory

is the evothings studio not working now?

@FRAUBRJ

Not solved with Evothings Studio! I have to build with Cordova.

Hello, not sure if this is the right place for such a question...
I am trying to build an app. The app works when launched via the viewer. I installed the correct versions of Vagrant and Virtualbox. I already tried to reinstall EvoThings. When I launch the building I still get the following error:

See my post dated December 22 2019!

skixer2

@skixer2

Did you solve the problem?
Actually, just pasting "http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip" allows me to download the package...

@FRAUBRJ
What "how to" guide would you recommend to build directly using Cordova ?

FRAUBRJ

@FRAUBRJ

When I try to download the package with the above URL, I have an error message: "Error 1020 Access denied"! I don't remember how to build using Cordova. Have a look at "https://evothings.com/doc/build/cordova-guide.html"

Hi all, I am new to EVO. I am trying to build my first test app. I am getting following error:

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip

how to resolve java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.13-all.zip

@jsoncz

I found the fix for all those gradle error guys! I did some investigation, basically here's the steps to solve the problem or try to:

1: open Virtualbox, after you start trying to build - the VM will be created and running already
2: login with user 'vagrant' password the same
3: type: vim /vagrant/result/stakcell/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
4: edit the http address to https

I hope this will work..atleast it's a step forward in getting it to work :)

Ben wong

@benwong.ck_gitlab

I just tried to use Evothings. I installed Evothings Studio 2.2.1 and VirtualBox-5.1.38 under Windows 10.
My issue is that I got various error when I build an App:

Vagrant 1.9.0, 1.9.3 and 1.9.5 with error "The build of Hello_World failed with exit code 255"
With Vagrant 1.9.7, it is not recognized as version 1.8.x or 1.9.x
With Vagrant 1.9.8, the error is: “stdin: is not a tty”
Appreciated if anyone could enlighten me to tackle the issues.

FRAUBRJ

@FRAUBRJ

Hi jsoncz. When I type the command you indicate I enter an empty file!
Also I did "cd /vagrant/result" then once in this directory I do "ls", and for only file I have the one of my project! No stakcell... Need more help!

FRAUBRJ

@FRAUBRJ

Ok, I figured out how to do it! To go to the right directory: "cd /vagrant/result/MYPROJECTNAME/platforms/android/gradle/wrapper" and finally edit the right file: "vi grade-wrapper.properties"

FRAUBRJ

@FRAUBRJ

but it seems that the file is rebuilt every time, so it still doesn't work!

sanyaade-teachings

@sanyaade-teachings

You can use setup also Cordova to build the App. Just create a new Cordova App, clone your Evothings App into the www sub-folder of your newly created Cordova App. Then you can build the App. I will see if I could produce a document on these steps.
Right now I am researching on how to setup a new Cloud-Server to be active by July when Evothings cloud goes down finally
