Is it possible to create mobile app using Thingworx? If yes please share me any related document or link or video.
Thanks,
Sachin
Hi Sachin Sathe,
Are you looking to send data from mobile to ThingWorx server? If yes PTC ThingWorx have IOS SDK and Android SDK.
ThingWorx is webservice so you can access the pages via your mobile browser too. But you might want to create separate Mashups for mobile view for better experience.
Thank you Ankit for reply.
Actually I want to create mobile app through which I can show Thingworx meshup. and not through web browser
Is it possible?
You can embed a Mashup onto a WebView but it won't be super mobile friendly, also on User Profile and Organization Profile you have a "Mobile Mashup" property which you can set with a special mashup adapted for mobile routing the user to a different interface when he/she logs in from a mobile device.
Will mashups respond to events in mobile?? Like Scrolling of grid, Grid double click
Hi Sachin,
Currently TW has a Mobile App development platform it's name it's Vuforia, but it maybe too much AR related.
We had successfully build before Mobile Apps before above ThingWorx REST API using HTML5 Ionic framework ( or you may use any other you want )
Or as Ankit stated if you want to build native Apps you can use the SDKs.

Hi Carles,
Actually I took your advice and i'm building an mobile app using Ionic 2, but my question is how can I implements a login authentication based on thingworx users. thanks
This is our Login full code, hope it helps:
this.login = function(name, pw)
{
return $q(function(resolve, reject)
{
var data = JSON.stringify({ "context": "appHandMeter" });
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (WITH_CREDENTIALS!=undefined) {
xhr.withCredentials = WITH_CREDENTIALS;
}
xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function ()
{
if (this.readyState === 4)
{
if (this.status==200) {
//saving result key
var Data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
//saving token info
var returnToken = (Data.rows[0].result);
var xhrlogout = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (WITH_CREDENTIALS!=undefined) {
xhrlogout.withCredentials = WITH_CREDENTIALS;
}
var logOut = REST_API.LOCATION + REST_API.LOGOUT;
xhrlogout.addEventListener("readystatechange", function ()
{
if (this.readyState === 4)
{
if (this.status==200)
{
//calling again the logout to clean up the session cookie
var xhrlogout2 = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (WITH_CREDENTIALS!=undefined) {
xhrlogout2.withCredentials = WITH_CREDENTIALS;
}
var logOut = REST_API.LOCATION + REST_API.LOGOUT;
xhrlogout2.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
if (this.readyState === 4) {
resolve(returnToken);
}
});
xhrlogout2.open("POST", logOut ,true);
xhrlogout2.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhrlogout2.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
xhrlogout2.timeout = REST_API.TIMEOUT;
xhrlogout2.ontimeout= function(){
resolve(returnToken);
}
xhrlogout2.send();
}
else
{
resolve(returnToken);
}
}
});
xhrlogout.open("POST", logOut ,true);
//setting up headers
xhrlogout.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhrlogout.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
xhrlogout.timeout = REST_API.TIMEOUT;
xhrlogout.ontimeout= function(){
resolve(returnToken);
}
//sending the post request
xhrlogout.send();
/************************/
} else
{
reject(this.status);
}
}
});
//Converting the user and password to base 64
var encodedData = window.btoa(name + ":" + pw);
//Construction of the login url
var loginUrl = REST_API.LOCATION + REST_API.LOGIN;
xhr.open("POST", loginUrl ,true);
//setting up headers
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedData);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
//sending the post request
xhr.timeout = REST_API.TIMEOUT;
xhr.ontimeout= function(){
reject();
}
xhr.send(data);
});
}
Thank you, i appreciate.
