Hi all,

What would be the approach on the Ofbiz server side?  Using Restful?  Am looking at this https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Export+service+using+REST

Stuck at this point:

LocalDispatcher dispatcher = GenericDispatcher.getLocalDispatcher("default",delegator);

Cannot resolve GenericDispatcher.

But it seems like Json already enabled, any example?

Divesh,

I am looking at this https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/ofbiz-on-smartphone/
Not familiar enough to install the server patches.

Thanks.

Derek

Hi Derek

You can do Photo taking and GPS navigation in Hybrid as well as native.

I have done a mobile project on Photo taking using Cordova-Crosswalk, and its easy and portable to Android and iOS. Have seen some demo for GPS navigation to via Cordova-ionic framework

If you want to extend it to iOS too, and your requirement will not extend beyond this (Photo taking and GPS), then IMHO, go for an ionic-cordova hybrid model.

But if you only want to target Android, and you need it very fast and stable, go for a native app.

P.S., now a days, with hardware catching up on mobile platform too, fast is a relative term but native still looks more efficient and light as compare to a hybrid app.
