How to use audio widget

[rammohan.acharyadasa]

hi
i want to make app which should work on iphone.ipad,android, etc..
i thought of using TiggZi mobile audio widget.
There 2 options:

1. either i can embed audio source file inside the app and distribute it along with the app.
   or

2. i can keep audio file on server ( example http://server/test.mp3 ), in this case audio source file won;t be distributed.

   As i will be having many pages in app and each of the page will have different audio source ( not the same audio file).

   I though i will use Option2( keeping the audio files on server) ( as i embed within the app , app size will increase drastically).
   please advice which option is best.

   Also i though Tiggzi Mobile audio widget will provide option to forward/backward the position in the currently loaded audio file.

   please advice.

Also not that i want to distribute app as native app( the user should be able to download from apple market/android market etc) not the webapp.

The audio component that you get in Tiggzi app builder is just the standard HTML5 audio tag: http://help.gotiggr.com/documentation.... Because audio files are rather large, it's best if you host them on a server.

As for forward/backward the position, some support is provided by the HTML5 audio tag: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Usin...

Two links I provided above will help you get started.

Tiggzi is a very easy to use mobile app builder that uses HTML5, jQuery Mobile to build the apps. However, it can't build an app beyond what HTML5 audio tag allows and browsers support. Also keep in mind that some customization might have to be done with JavaScript.

iphone i tested seems to be working fine.
ipad tried using simulator it seems to be working fine
What about Android 2.2 os, will it work?
i do not have android phone, will be getting today/tomorrow/
pls advice whether audio widget work on android 2.2.

[maxkatz]

Android 2.2. has very poor support for HTML5 audio tag. Android 2.3 has much better support.

as i am making as native app
, so i need to have
android 2.3

[maxkatz]

In Tiggzi app builder you will create what's called a hybrid mobile app -- HTML5 app inside a native wrapper. Either way, you need to have Android 2.3 to have audio working well.
