iPad Mini Retina 2013 camera quality test video (filmed in Thailand)

Submitted by Joonas Ruotsalainen on Sun, 06/01/2014 - 09:36

Couple of months ago I bought myself an iPad mini retina from IT City Thailand. I made a short camera quality test video which I filmed here in Chiang Mai. I used iMovie for iOS to make the video and combine different videoclips. The video contains clips filmed with the back and front camera and also still images. I would say the overall quality is good and excellent for quick snapshots and videos. Front camera is excellent for video calls.

Titanium mobile: Dynamically scaling webview

Submitted by Joonas Ruotsalainen on Wed, 02/05/2014 - 13:15

Me and my collegue were developing an app using Titanium mobile. On iOS we had a problem with Webviews adding some extra empty white space to the bottom of the Webview. We fought with this problem couple of hours and now I would like to share the solution we found so you could save those hours that we spent. So how to scale Webview height dynamically?

First add a viewport metatag to the html content of the Webview like this:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=no">

Add also event listener to load event.
