Bus Detective - Mobile Client

Installation

Running / Development

cordova run ios
cordova run android

Deployment

Generating Resource Images

• Requires Node and npm to be installed
• Run npm install in the base directory
• Run node generate-assets.js in the base direcory to generate image resources. This generates:
  • iOS icons
  • Android splash screens

Android icons and iOS splash screens must be generated by hand at the moment. See those sections for more details.

iOS

Icons

The iOS icons are generated by the script, so we do not need to run these by hand or through web services.

• The base icon can be found at ios-icon.png, should be 512x512px

Splash Screens

The splash screens for iOS are not yet part of the script, as they have not been updated since the script was created.

Android

Icons

At the moment, we still need to generate these icons by hand. The library used to generate other resources does not handle the transparency of the icon well.

• The base icon can be found at android-icon.png, should be 512x512 px
• See config.xml for the sizes required by Android

Splash Screen

For Android, we take in a 1024x1024 square image of the splash screen and use a script to generate the sizes and formats needed.

• Update splash.png to be the new splash screen, it should be 1024x1024
• The script handles making the marks for the 9-patch format
• When we have more time, the splash screen may be taken out of Cordova and put in the web browser
