Lack of documentation #1

Any change that we could have a quick piece of documentation in the readme file so us PhoneGappers can find out how to use this plugin? And perhaps a small overview of the plugin's functionality.

Which plugin do you mean? There are several and most are IMHO sufficiently documented.

The installation procedure is always the same: copy the .h and .m files to the "Plugins" directory, copy the .js file to the "www" directory. Link the .js file from a HTML file and start using it.

Inside your own code you call the plugin methods with "window.plugins.PLUGINNAME.METHODNAME(PARAMETERS);". e.g "window.plugins.clipboardPlugin.setText("text");" Have a look at the actual .js file you want to use to see what methods are available.

I was specifically referring to ChildBrowser. I managed to discover that the .h and .m files had to go into Plugins, but that could maybe be included in the readme. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I feel it would be of help to new users.

I'd like to know exactly how do I include AsyncSocket.h/.m in my PhoneGap project. I'm still unfamiliar with Xcode and really need some help. I imagine it's pretty simple.

Thanks in advance for any help. I'll appreciate it.

I wasted an hour with this, hopefully this helps someone else: 1) mkdir Plugins 2) copy .h and .m files to Plugins 3) copy .js file to www 4) in Xcode, right click Plugins directory, Add existing file, select .h/.m file, check 'Create Folder Reference for any added folders', click Add 5) in your html file, include the plugin js file after phonegap.js call plugin function, eg Screenshot.prototype.saveScreenshot Note: calling window.plugins.Screenshot... (as suggested above) didn't work for me

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial/demo on how to include and use the Native Controls for iPhone?

Trying to create a tabbar & navigation bar (with back and info buttons) so that I can ditch iscroll (too buggy).

Many thanks!

Hi! Thanks for these great plugins, but I also think there is a lack of documentation. I would like to request further information about the MapKit plugin, the example just don't cover it all in my opinion. What I would like to know is how to add multiple pins to a map from an external file (JSON) and if there's a way to add pins without moving/recentering the map when doing it and without replacing previous placed pins.

Thanks

iphone / NativeControls appears to have zero documentation.

I have been able to implement this, however the ad count is changing but no actual ads are showing up (just get a black box). Does this mean that there are no ads to be served, or am I missing something else (ie some setting in the Apple Dev center to enable iAds)?
