Hello All,

I am trying my hands on WP7 with PhoneGap.
I tried all the steps in
http://www.scottlogic.co.uk/blog/colin/2011/09/developing-windows-phone-7-html5-apps-with-phonegap/[^]

But whenever I run the Application (on Emultor), i only can see the background color of the Body.
No text written in Body Tag, or in any other Tag inside Body Tag can be seen.
No Events or Alerts are recognized or occur.

I don't know what i am missing here.

So plz help.

(Note: I have mango update installed on my machine, and whenever i start WP7 Emulator, i gives me a message which says : "WP Emulator is not supported on this computer coz this computer doesn't have the required Graphics Processing Unit Configuration.")

What should I do ???

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Windows Phone Emulator requires a DirectX 10 or above capable graphics card with a WDDM 1.1 driver. I assume that you got an error message on first start of the emulator that your graphic adapter isn't capable for all functions the emulator

If your graphic adapter does not fully support DirectX 10 or doesn't has a WDDM 1.1 driver you will only see a dark screen instead of the rendered webpage. This also affects all controls using MultiScaleImage, including the webbrowser control. As far as I know there is no solution for this at the moment.

Hye Andrew,
Thanks for the reply..

if the problem is with graphic adapter, then, why i can view all the WP7 controls and also the html tags in a web browser control (when a saved html file is opened with it).

Is this problem arise only when we try to open a html page in our .xaml page as a phonegap application.

plz explain.

Also, if i update my graphic adapter to a supported one, does this problem will get solved ??

Please help..

Thanks..
I solved the problem...
of course the problem was with graphic adapter, but also, i think the installation was not proper..
I uninstalled everything, VS 2010, WP7 sdks etc.. and reinstalled them properly.
and now its working....
thanks once again.
