How to demo iPhone apps

JavierAbadía_Miranda — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:25:42 GMT

Hi,

This may be a little bit off-topic but: How can you demo an iPhone app? Is there a way to show the iPhone screen into a projector?

Thank you.

iPad and iPhone 4 allow you to connect them to a projector using the iPad Doc Connector to VGA Adapter

I'm afraid this is misleading. I already have such adapter, but when you connect the device to a VGA projector using the adapter, the output IS NOT THE SAME AS what you are seeing in the screen.

You need to programmatically generate the output to the other UIScreen, and I believe there is no easy way to mirror what you see in your device screen into the other screen.

Are you aware of a way to get the same output in the VGA and in the device screen?

How do you do the ESRI demos?

I think developers can include code in their project that enables an external display using one of the Apple display adaptors (dock connector to VGA, dock connector to component video, dock connector to composite video).

Does the ArcGIS for iOS application support an external display using these display adaptors?

Thanks for any help,

If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can install VNC on it. Then you just run a VNC client on a computer connected to a projector.

We've actually had pretty good success using a simple document projector. For example, the ELMO CO-10 at the link below. The deal here is the device just projects whatever you put under it so there are uses beyond projecting an iPhone screen.

This is to confim Javier's findings that the VGA adapter does not work for the ArcGIS for iOS app. I picked it up yesterday and tried it. Got nothing. And yes apparently the application has be programmed to allow it. I think it amounts to 3 or 4 lines of code.

Divesh - Would you be able to make this happen?
