How to open Responsive HTML5 on Android and iOS?

Hello all,

How do you open Responsive HTML5 output on Android and iOS? I'm able to generate the output and open it in an Internet browser on a PC, but I can't find the procedure to open it on a mobile device.

So far I copied the generated Responsive_HTML5 folder to a mobile device, and tried to open the index.htm file but this results in a blank help.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

    To open it from a device, the contents of the output must be on a web server.

    Where are you pointing the device browser?

    If you want to install it on a mobile device, you need to create an APK

    file. It's quite a learning curve. See my site and the supplied sample

    projects.

    Otherwise you point the devices browsers to a server with the HTML output.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not trying to install the output as mobile app. I just want to open it from a mobile web browser but I don't know to which file the browser must be pointed.

    For instance, I downloaded the example project about employee care from your site. How do I display the output correctly on a mobile device? Do I go to the !SSL! folder and try to open the home.htm topic?

    Thanks,

    David
