We're evaluating Sencha Touch for mobile development. Has anyone used this yet (I realize that it's still in beta), and if so, what are its strengths / weaknesses? How does it compare to alternatives? It certainly sounds compelling. Thanks! ...

As I understand, Sencha Touch is just a javascript library that lets you create websites that respond to multitouch and other features you find in native iPhone apps. So... Your end result is accessed on Safari on the iPhone, and not as a native iPhone app. Is there a way to convert this to a native app? ...
Sencha Touch looks impressive, and ExtJS looks nice. I am evaluating if I should use ExtJS or SproutCore for an upcoming app. Now that Sencha Touch is in the mix, I wonder if I choose ExtJS, it'd be easier to port/migrate part of the app to mobile world. Is that true? Would I be able to have the same code base for both ExtJS for desktop ...

Hello, My startup and I are deciding which mobile touch framework to use to build our mobile web application. I'm having trouble figuring out the difference between Sencha Touch and JQTouch.

I'm trying to build a mobile "content" application that will be used to display many pages of mostly text, using Sencha Touch (based on ExtJs). I'm familiar with JQuery & JQTouch; I've never used ExtJs before. What's the best/fastest way to get started? I started with the "icons" demo and was able to add a scroll property ('vertical') ...
I've started using the Sencha Touch / ExtJS JavaScript framework and have am noticing a wide use of nested, anonymous functions. For example, this is a common way to start your app: Ext.setup({ blah: blah, onReady: function() { my fairly long startup code } }); It's been a while since I...
I have been struggling between jqtouch, iphone sdk and sencha touch for the past week. I still cannot make up my mind which is the most suitable mobile framework for my project. My project need users to submit content based on their current geological location, thus often fetching and submitting data into the database. It's abit like fou...
Hello to all! I have a problem: There are HTML5/CSS3 mobile frameworks on the market like Sencha Touch and Phonegap which can use the multi-touch gestures of the iPad/iPhone, Android, etc. That's working fine, I can test it. But now I need to know what's about Multi-Touch displays based on a Windows 7 OS. Are there also multi-touch cap...

How may I disable these settings as I would like to have the carousel on a pa...
I would like to see a decent example of a mobile web app using the Sencha framework with a client side DB accessed with SQLite. I'm currently digesting JqTouch and kinda get the binding method used there from reading Jonathon Stark's "iPhone apps" book, but cant find any examples of accessing Senchas features ie listed elements with SQLi...
Hi, I'm attempting to learn Sencha Touch (and Ext JS, being more of a jquery guy), and I'm struggling a bit with the documentation. For example, I'm trying to figure out how to write templates, but I've found the documentation to be very sparse. For example, this page tells me how to instantiate a template, but not what the syntax look...
When using Sencha Touch to create a panel - you can tell the panel to enable a fullscreen property. THe panel will fill the space available by the device. It seems to have a bug or not deal with a bookmark that has been saved to the home screen - and floats underneath the status bar at the top. Is there a property or setting to manage ...
For testing without an iPhone/Android phone, which desktop browser works best with Sencha Touch? I tried Chrome and Safari, which work fairly well, but both seem to have little issues. Firefox and IE apparently don't work at all with Sencha Touch. Is there a secret weapon, like a port of a mobile browser, available? ...
