"Directions Not Available" Bring up navigation app in ios - android

We are trying to bring up the navigation app using HTML Code. We could make it happen in Android without any issues taking guidance from mobile html5 launch phone's native navigation app for iphone, Google navigation on a html5 Android app for android devices. It works quite for android devices. Tested in Sony Experia, Moto-G all is well.
But, when it comes to iphone, i get a mixed response. An Error Message saying:
"A route cannot be determined from this start location"
I tried out thie following code:
driving<br>directionsAnd got the following response in iphone 5, using iOS 7.1.1
But it works quite well for the ipad we tested in using the iOS 5.1.1. Still can't get a way to work it out in iphone with ios 7 or above versions.
Any idea or a way in which this can be overcome?
We shall be glad to have help with this.

I wandered around for the reason for the same. Then found that for places in India the apple maps doesn't seem to have the database for the same. Well finding directions from my home to office itself it point out the same error saying that the "Directions (are) not available".

Videojs-chromecast plugin fails to launch on Android platform (but works on PC platform)

I've built an html5-video webpage that uses video-js and its chromecast-plugin. When I use the resulting cast button on video-js player's control-bar, when running on Chrome-browser on Android, it fails to completely transfer over to the TV's screen. The failing symptom is that only a large blue cast-icon is visible in the center of the TV screen. It fails on Android, each and every time I try it. (My Android is version 7.1.1, on a Google Nexus-9 tablet.)
And when it fails to completely cast over to the TV, the cast-icon-button on the video-js control-bar turns red, which I assume means that the chromecast-plugin 'knows' that it failed. (The videojs-chromecast-plugin is version 2.0.8)
My chromecast device is a 2nd-generation chromecast-dongle from Google.
[ From a PC-platform, the video-js chromecast-plugin's cast-button works perfectly every time. That PC-platform is Windows-10, using the newest version of Chrome browser (Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)) ]
So, could someone with Android and a chromecast device please test my
webpage and report whether it works or whether they too fail with a large
blue cast-icon image in center of their TV-screen.
(Note: I've googled for symptom of the blue cast-icon in center of TV, and
find various reports of this exact symptom, on various platforms. But
none of those problem posts ever end with a solution, so I've concluded
that this is a known open issue.)
My webpage that is failing is located here:
https://weasel.firmfriends.us/HTMLVideoFromCloud/
[ You can see the page's html and javascript via "view page source"
in the browser (right-click anywhere on the page, outside of the
video-js viewer) ]
(EDIT#1) Ok, some extra clarification: The problem casting from Android happens ONLY when I use the cast-button at right-end of videojs-viewer's control bar.
But, I have found an alternative cast-button on Android, that CAN successfully cast my page to the TV. I don't recall exactly what I did to get this extra button to start appearing, but it will appear for a few seconds in the upper-left client-area of the video-js player window rendering my webpage. This 'workaround' doesn't completely solve my issue, because the goal is to get videojs-chromecast-plugin's cast-button to work. Also, other people viewing the page from Android may not know how to get that alternate cast-button.
(EDIT#2) I've tested now from two different tablets...both fail.
(1) Android version 7.1.1, on a Google Nexus-9 tablet
(2) Android version 5.1.1, on a Google Nexus-10 tablet
TIA...

Ionic side scroll bar not working with Samsung S6

I am facing very weird issue. Working on mobile application using Ionic and Angularjs. Things are pretty good but all of a sudden side menu scrollbar become sluggish. It will be easy to pin point things but issue is only coming with Samsung S6 (Android 5.x). S4 it is good. Any other mobile with Android 5.X version it is good. iOS working great. Just specific mobile it is not good.
I am creating dynamic menu based on response, I tried to do it hard code way but nothing helps. Also cross check digest timing that is also in ms. So, I doubt that can be issue.
I can't even pin point the issue to solve it. As things are very much specific to this mobile.
Any idea to debug it or way I can get and/or provide more info.
Let me know if any further information is required.
PS: I tried fresh ionic application with side menu, there it is working good on S6.

Nexus 5 / Android 4.4 - web apps do not work as web apps

I cannot add a web app to the home screen on the nexus 5, android 4.4
I've followed the instructions found at this link
https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/installtohomescreen
You can test the problem with this app for example:
http://weight.aerotwist.com
After following the instructions, I get an homescreen icon, but tapping on it brings up a menu with the various browsers available instead of just opening the web app.
I've tested the same problem with a locally installed app and it gives the message "App isn't installed".
It looks like a bug. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks!
The cause of this problem is that in Android 4.4, WebView was changed as in previously it was based on Webkit browser, and now its based on Chromium browser.
You can follow this guide to help migrating your app to Android 4.4

Problems with Twitter on Android App

I'm trying to show one public twitter profile in one WebView of my app, is not necessary to login twitter, in the MotoDev Simulator this works fine, but in the physical device don't work, this: "403 fobiden limite exceed rate" error appears, this is the simple code line that I'm using:
webView.loadUrl("https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/asambleaecuador");
and works fine into de MotoDev simulator AVD
....can somebody helpme please!!!
Thanks
Did you figure this out?
I was just wondering why you're trying to use "https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/asambleaecuador" instead of simply using "https://mobile.twitter.com/asambleaecuador".
Anyway, I just wanted to say that there's no "MOTODEV simulator AVD", MOTODEV Studio uses the regular Android SDK emulator, nothing special to it. And the problem you're facing is probably due to differences between the underlying implementation of the AVD browser and the one you have on your physical device - Android devices have a great amount of different browser implementations.

Google Android Fragmentation: Inconsistent CSS Rendering

Working on a mobile web application, I have found that some Android devices are rendering CSS differently than others. The detail on the site renders perfectly on every desktop browser I have tried on Windows & Mac, on iPhone, on every Android SDK Emulator I have tried, and even BlackBerry. While some Android devices render it perfectly, about half do not - and these "misrender" it in consistent ways. (For example, it looks great in a Galaxy, but is offset when using a G2.)
Aside from purchasing every single Android device on the market, is there any way to test CSS across all the devices available?
Thanks in advance!
In fact: you can use the emulator to replicate CSS differences. I didn't try enough variations.
