Touchkit Upload from FileSystem

Hi there,

I am using Vaadin 6.8 and Touchkit 2.0.
It’s a simple case I want to solve. I want to upload a file stored on the phone. Therefor I included the Vaadin Upload Component in my Touchkit application.
But trying to use the mechanism on an IPhone 4gs brings all my effort to a sudden end. I press the browse button and just Nothing happens.

Pretty hard to see where the error is.?!?

On android everything works fine. So anybody came across the same bug or ... is there a more efficient way to deal with file uploads ?

thanks

gerd

Hi,

Mobile Safari (the browser on a non-jailbroken iPhone) simply does not support File Upload - Vaadin ultimately just generates a standard HTML form upload element. See this stack overflow discussion for more details/discussion on this iOS restriction.

As there's actually no user-visible file system on the iPhone, I don't suppose this is actually that surprising : as the StackOverlow discussions says, iOS6.0 might allow upload of images from the Photos folder.

Sorry.

Charles.

Thanks for your quick answer.

however it is very frustrating... perhaps in ios 6 then.

I guess we recommend android devices for our touchkitapplication then.
