The following links are provided here in case you need quick access to detailed device API documentation. These are useful (but optional) APIs that you can use to build hybrid mobile HTML5 apps with the Intel XDK.

Useful Emulator Debug Hints
The Emulator tab in the Intel XDK simulates a subset of the device APIs that are available to your application. The only way to debug these non-simulated APIs is by using on-device debugging via App Preview or a built application.
Note that the Emulator is implemented as a Chrome browser embedded inside the Intel XDK. It simulates device viewport sizes, touch events, user agent strings and various device APIs (other than those shown below) for a convenient debugging experience using standard Chrome Dev Tools. It does not emulate an actual device or the underlying operating system. The memory, CPU and HTML5 rendering capabilities of your actual device can be quite different. It is best to think of the devices presented inside the Intel XDK Emulator tab as a collection of "ideal" devices with nearly unlimited memory, CPU and HTML5 features.
A list of the unimplemented APIs in the Emulator is provided below:
- device.addRemoteScript: undefined (does not throw an exception)
- device.blockRemotePages (writes an invisible message and then does nothing)
- facebook object: unimplemented
- file object: unimplemented
- oauth object: unimplemented
- playingtrack object: unimplemented
- the player object does not implement the following methods:
- show
- hide
- playPodcast
- setAudioCurrentTime
- getAudioCurrentTime
- clearAudioCurrentTime
- startStation
- watchAudioCurrentTime
- clearAudioCurrentTimeWatch
- play
- pause
- stop
- volume
- rewind
- ffwd
- setColors
- setPosition
- startShoutcast
