  Hi,

   

  can i lock the orientation of the html page. i have change the orientation to portrait in config.xml but when i run the app and rotate the screen to landscape the page is also moving to landscape.

  currently i am building the app for windows phone and using visual studio 2013 , installed tools for visual studio from here(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42675). Also i have been looking for mainpage.xaml which was earlier with phonegap and there we can fix the orientation of page itself in which the webview was loaded.

  but here i didnt find any mainpage.xaml .

  please guide to fix this.

   

  Thanks,

  Nitesh

  You need to modify the native app manifest as described in this article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dn879349.aspx

  Dude, stop drinking during your videos! No one wants to hear you sipping a drink over your mic!

  Haha Don that's rude. Kirupa is good jor

  When i try to create a new project using cordova i'm getting one or more error occured. why is it so? i'm using VS 2013 ultimate. I'm able to create other projects.

• 

  Do take care of your thirst beforehand. So you know at least to show some decency to your watchers.

• 

  how can I play a video from the isolated storage in my html video tag.
  Considering that the path of the video is path="/VideoCache/Video-123.mp4" shall I antepone anything to the path string before setting my video source tag?
  for instance doing this:
  
  document.querySelector("#video1 > source").src = path;
  where video1 is a video tag

• 

  Very nice! Thanks for the video! Good intro to Apache Cordova.

• 

  I think you should drink whatever you are drinking after you are done with the video. It is really irritating.

• 

  ok...that sipping is annoying...really annoying

• 

  I had to stop watching this video. Listening to him drinking water was so annoying, made me feel like he was making out with his *.

  Hello,
  
  My question could be wrong but I need to ask because of requirements.
  Can I use apache cordova to create mobile app using Visual Studio 2012 express edition?
  and is phonegap and apache cordova are same or different?
  
  Please Please Please Please Please reply as soon as possible I am waiting from all the community but no one reply for this question yet.

  Hi,
  
  can i access mobile default sharing option in cordova android apps?
  is there any plugin for that?

• 

  @Mayur,
  
  Forget the express and download VS 2015 Community!
  It's the full thing and free.
  
  Great for VS and windows apps and the developer community as a whole.

  First of all i would like to thank you for your this tutorial I’ve already finished my project, and now i want to publish it, but i don't know how to create the package so i can upload it to a store. How can i create the package, sign it and align it for the upload? Can i do this with Visual Studio or i need 3rd party software for it? Thanks
