I am using Oracle APEX v5.1.1 - Universal Theme (Desktop application).
Currently building a desktop application using v5.1.1 + Universal Theme, by where I need to have an image as the landing page. On the desktop front, this is fine but this application will also be viewed on a tablet as well as a mobile device.
With the Universal Theme or perhaps a built-in template or class, how can I achieve the responsiveness of the Universal Theme when it comes to viewing this landing page image on a mobile device, i.e. how can I make the image responsive as well?
Not sure if I need to somehow use media queries and load in a different size image on my landing page, based on device being used.

I have several apps that i've written in Django and host on Heroku. The website address works great but if people want to use my app on their mobile device i have to instruct them to visit the website then click Add to Home Screen so an app icon appears on their phone. Is there a better way of doing this so they can just add the app from say the App Store/Google Play?
Yes you can add your PWA (progressive web apps) to Google PlayStore. There is detailed official documentation about this.
But in case of App Store Apple doesn't supports to put PWA on App Store. But there are different ways to achieve this PWABuilder is one among them. And also that doesn't guarantee that your app will be accepted into Apple’s App Store. In 2019, Apple released new guidelines for HTML5 apps in the App Store. The new guidelines appear to forbid certain kinds of web apps (e.g. gambling, lotteries, etc.) from the iOS App Store.
I am new to web development. I just got my first project online, which is Django app deployed in Heroku. App uses Bootstrap.
When I use any size desktop browser window the app scales as I expect it to. When I access it from my Android phone it uses "mobile site" (if that's what it's called). The mobile site looks like a mess. If I use the "desktop site mode" on mobile it looks what I expected it to look.
I am trying to figure which part of the stack is responsible for this happening. Is it possibly some of these?
Django
Bootstrap
Heroku
Browser
I have not made any setting to use mobile site (at least not intentionally) so I am to assume this is the default for the tech responsible for this.
Also in general; if I want my app to be usable both in desktop and mobile environments is it usually enough just to make site responsive and not bother with the "mobile site"?
Hello I am new in web services(Drupal 7) I want to know to create the web services for uploading images.I searched but could not find.I am using REST services.Please help me.
Using Drupal to upload images
Since Drupal 7 image handling is part of Drupal core, and there are responsive themes designed for smart phones, you don't need additional contributed modules to upload images from within drupal as a content contributor and your phone as a web browser.
Here is a short step by step:
Choose Administration > Add content > [Content type].
The image field will be displayed in the list of fields once you've
added it to the content type (see above). Click 'Browse', then
select and upload the desired image.
Enter alternate text to improve accessibility and optimize it for
search engines.
Save the article.
Images can be added and removed from the node's Edit tab. If the
node is deleted, all associated images are deleted with it.
Using Android to upload images
I believe this option would start as an architecture design decision and a price point. For example, you could use the Drupal Services module to open up REST and XML-RPC options from the drupal platform to your Android application. Next, you could choose to develop a native app for android to upload images into drupal's database for use in various applications. Or, you might consider a jQuery Mobile browser app that might be much simpler and less costly to build.

I am working on an application which is UI intensive (i.e. we need to customize all the control to look different).
For this is I planned to use GDI+ in win32. But one of the suggestion form our team member is,
Instead of using GDI+ he asked me to have a web browser control, in that he asked me to display local html.That html page contains customized controls.
Form his suggestion I created a web control and used some UI intensive local html pages. That looks good.
But my question is, is it is a good idea to use web control to solve this?
Using a web browser control to solve this problem is common. There are many applications out there that already do this. For example Steam uses Chromium instead of the web browser control to do all its window skinning. Windows 8 metro is another example of an HTML-based interface. There are even entire frameworks built on html-based interfaces such as Appcelerator. There are many benefits to going the web browser control route but it is not easy to get it right.
I've been asked to build 'widgets' that let users of a web application install a desktop, or web-based widget which will provide:
Notifications of new content.
Personalized access to key performance indicators
I'm looking for some information to inform our requirements and design discussions.
On the desktop you can target the Vista Sidebar, or on OS X there is the Dashboard, as well as others. From the web perspective you can target iGoogle and others. If I was to start by developing for the widget framework that had the greatest number of users, which would I choose? Does anyone provide statistics on the number of users?
The client would prefer to provide a richer experience for end users and I think this could be achieved using a desktop widget framework. However there would be some questions around the number of users that we can hit with any single framework (eg. sidebar). What technology or framework could I target that gives me cross-platform compatibility? Should we embed Flash?
Rather than live within a widget framework, I was going to suggest the creation of a standalone application. Are there any frameworks that help facilitate the creation of widget-like applications?
Target platforms:
Windows (Windows XP and newer)
Apple (OS X 10.4 and newer)
Linux (nice to have)
You can put a glance on Adobe Air.
It allows a cross-platform development in Flash/Flex or HTML/JS.
