TouchKit 4.x.x. Windows Phone support

Flow
1

I have a definite request to support Windows Phone by aplication based on Vaadin 7 + TouchKit.
Unfortunately there is no precise roadmap info about Windows Phone support by TouchKit. In some place it is written that it will be supported by TouchKit 4 and in some place that there is no support currently. Current alpha2 does not support it.
Could somebody clarify please when Windows Phone will be supported by TouchKit?

Hi,

Current alpha releases for 4 should support Windows Phone. This is a bit outdated demo build with development version and opens fine in a Lumia phone:

Alpha release is in a pretty good shape, so don’t hesitate to go with it. We’ll still need to re-work on some pointer events stuff related to GWT changes and Windows RT 8.1 (aka IE11).

cheers,

I am developing TouchKit application with TouchKit agpl 4.0.0 alpha2.
Testing with real devices including:

  • Acer tablet with Win 8
  • Lumia with Windows Phone
  • Windows Phone emulator

All gave zero result. Nothing is visible in all browsers.
Should it be specific configuration for Windows phone?

Did you try the above link?

Maybe your GWT module is still just compiled for “safari” permutation only.

“~~Maybe your GWT module is still just compiled for “safari” permutation only.”

Hmmm… I downloaded TouchKit.jar from vaadin site. Did not compile gwt separately. Compile my own automatically created widgetset only. I am not a guru in GWT and widgetset permutation. Can you give me a hint how to check correct compillation?

As I said application is NOT working in any Windows real devices including emulator but is working in any browser in just plain Windows 7 environment including IE 11 and IE 10.

Tomorrow I will try “vornitologist” from your link in Windows Phone

Hi Again,

We tried the link you posted () with Lumia 900
It did not work saying “browser is not supported”

Hi,

Now I finally see what is wrong: too old Windows Phone. We’ll be supporting only WP8+ devices. AFAIK Lumia 900 has WP 7.X and IE9, which is not good enough for serious mobile web apps. WP8 devices has much better IE (~10) that makes TouchKit support possible.
