Web and WebWorks Development

[chackett]

Hi There,

I'm currently writing a small app and finding it tough to get a nice looking UI using the Java SDK.

Just wondering could I use the WebWorks kit to create rich UI's using HTML and Javascript? My main question is how well does this interact with the Java API?

For example, what would be involved in controlling the NFC via a WebWorks app?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can. What ever Java code you have you would have to import the Extension (.jar file) to your WebWorks project.

Brilliant!

Would you know of any sample code I could look at.

Cheers.

I just found this link.

Missed it the first time because it says Javascript extenstion. I was looking for Java info.

We already developed an NFC extension for WebWorks. It currently only handles reading smart poster tags but it would be a good place to start. The code is in our open source WebWorks Community APIs repo and linked from this page:
