  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(http://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!

  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,

  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
