You should be able to do almost ALL of the heavy work inside Dashcode, then just save and insert your widget bundle’s package contents into Phonegap.

Thankyou:) that really helped me.

The good news is i am in Eclipse and the android emulator loads up, it also shows the dashcode created user interface:)

The bad news is when i try to click one of the RSS feed links within the android emulator, non of the links are clickable. the only thing i see is all the RSS feed items load up correctly and it is scrollable but not clickable.

can you provide me with the final push to correct this.

thankyou:)

1. Open Dashcode.
2. Format your project.
3. When you’re ready, click on the “Test & Share” workflow step.
4. Click the Share button.
5. At the bottom of the Widget Name + Options pane, click on “Save to Disk…” button.
6. This will save your Dashcode project to your disk as a Widget bundle.
7. Control Click or right click on the Widget bundle and choose “Show Package Contents.”
8. These are the files that you need.
9. Highlight ALL the files, control click or right click, and select Copy xx Items.
10. Goto your destination folder, control click or right click, and select Paste Items.
11. You are now ready to continue with your PhoneGap development.

Good luck with your PhoneGap project.

My question is that i have exactly followed your steps in the tutorial.

in your “parts” folder it contains more items than my dashcode project generated.

i have spent many hours comparing my dashcode generated items in the parts folder with yours and i cant figure out where the other items are coming from.

And when i do port it over to android via phonegap, when i select one of the RSS feeds, it does not go to the link, like it does in the default dashcode iphone application.

can you tell me why i have achieved these discrepences?

3. Missing Common Merganser. I can’t believe that I overlooked that bird. Thank you for the “heads-up.” I also think I forgot Rufous-Sided Towhee. Plus many international users have been requesting this same feature. At any rate, adding/deleting birds is one of my top update priorities. First, some background:
I have developed a database editing solution and it is currently being tested in another one of my Apps: LifeList-Sites. And it works! The problem is that I don’t want to accidentally corrupt the Bird database with a careless update. There are several hundred users of LifeList-Birds and I don’t want to destroy their life lists with a new database schema that could overwrite their current one. Yes I am working on a Version 2.0 update AND this update will be free to all current users of LifeList-Birds.

Again, Doug, thank you for your interest. An update for LifeList-Birds is scheduled for development, once I finish another iPad App.

It would be useful to be able to make additional comments when a bird of special interest has been observed on later occasions.

Some common birds are not included such as the Common Merganser. A useful option would be the ability to add a bird to the list and create a page for it.
