PhoneGap AIR Simulator in development | April 1st, 2009
PhoneGap AIR Simulator is specifically made for testing PhoneGap projects, and go beyond Apple’s iPhone simulator as well as supporting Android application development and Blackberry. As this is an Adobe AIR application, it can run on Mac, Windows and Linux.
One of the key feature is the accelerometer console powered by Papervision. You can tilt/rotate a virtual iPhone in 3D space which passes simulated X/Y/Z accelerometer value to the navigator in phonegap.js. Above screenshot is a sample demo game that I made with HTML/javascript/CSS and PhoneGap which you can try out in the simulator demo below. Tilt The simulator also detects certain PhoneGap javascript methods such as “vibrate()” or “sound()” which gets translated into an action in AIR.
In the near future, we are adding:
- Geolocation console - uses Google Maps API to simulate GPS values
- Firebug Lite integration
These downloads are only to show work in progress and is not ready for actual testing of PhoneGap projects, but stay tuned fore more updates!
