Find The Application Version In Your NativeScript App

December 18, 2015

With all the buzz around NativeScript, I figured it was about time that I demonstrate how to access native features of a device without the use of any plugins. To start off slow I decided it might be convenient to see how to obtain the application version number and display it within the application.

To be clear, there are plugins to do all this for you, but the point I’m trying to prove is how easy it is to access core features of iOS and Android with limited knowledge of both.

To continue my sprint on Telerik NativeScript related topics, I figured it was time I talk about how to handle navigation to different routes or views within an application. With platforms such as React Native you would use a Navigator component and in platforms such as Ionic Framework you would use the AngularJS UI-Router. With NativeScript, it is even easier to navigate between routes.

In this guide we’re going to look at what it takes to navigate a multiple screen Android and iOS application using NativeScript.

It is no question that I am pretty familiar with Ionic Framework and Apache Cordova in general. I have a ton of blog articles, YouTube videos and even a beginner level course for Ionic Framework. However, lately I’ve been playing around with NativeScript by Telerik, a similar technology platform that has many advantages over the competitors. I also have blog articles and a beginner level course for NativeScript.

I’m going to do an in-depth comparison between the two hybrid development platforms so you can figure out which is best for you.

I’ve been doing a lot of NativeScript development lately because I’ve found it to be a pretty nifty platform. If you’re unfamiliar with NativeScript, it is similar to Ionic Framework and React Native in a sense that you can use JavaScript to build iOS and Android mobile applications. I previously wrote about using the native device camera in Ionic Framework as well as using the native device camera in React Native. This time I figured it would be appropriate to do the same, but with Telerik NativeScript.

In this guide we’re going to see what it takes to take pictures with the native device camera using NativeScript and display the pictures on the screen.

With Angular development happening in full force, I figured it was time to take a break from Angular 1 and start thinking about what it takes to make the switch over to Angular. Like with most JavaScript powered applications you will have a single page composed of partial routes and views. I previously wrote about how to navigate with the AngularJS UI-Router, but in Angular things are pretty different.

Here we’re going to take a look at using routes and views to navigate within our Angular TypeScript application.

Previously I wrote how to properly test your Ionic Framework application and how to debug your application using ADB for Android. However, I get many questions from people regarding how to test their Apache Cordova, PhoneGap or Ionic Framework application running on iOS.

In this guide I’m going to walk through the steps for troubleshooting code using an iOS simulator and the Safari web browser.

In case you’re in the area and are interested, I will be in Atlanta, Georgia on October 16 and October 17 speaking at ConnectJS. This is a conference focusing on JavaScript development and mobile application development.

I will be giving two presentations titled Quick and Easy Development with Node.js and Couchbase Server and Developing For Offline Mobile Experiences.
