Starting with NT 9 APP - Basic Mobile Example

[walter.dasilva]

Hi Bruce,

I´m starting with NT 9 App using Basic Mobile exampl for testing.
I had generated it, and run it on my Android. so after that, i've have some things.

. I dont know when synchronize is done on both sides (app/desktop), anyway no one sync is done.
. some tables can not save information, sometimes
. browse are not update after insert
. icon/splash do not work

and some question

. is mandatory working with POPUP (form and browse)?
. all NT resources are avaliable to APP (map/camera/carousel/media/file upload, etc)?
Thanks,

[Bruce]

Hi Walter,

You are not alone in getting the basic example to work. I think I'm going to do a webinar on it - likely on March 24 in the user group, to walk through the steps to get it going.

>> . is mandatory working with POPUP (form and browse)?

yes, for now.

>> . all NT resources are avaliable to APP (map/camera/carousel/media/file upload, etc)?

yes, and no. In the long run I'd like to make as many of them available as possible, but not all are tested yet.
Something like Maps of course will need "online" connection by the device because the maps come from a map provider.

cheers

OK Bruce,

March 24 Thursday or 25 Friday?

In advance, is very nice to give us some sample using javascript to insert resources like PUSH GCM.

Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by this? What is a PUSH? and who is GCM?

cheers

Hi Bruce,

I have developed a APP using B4A, and these are some resources that i use:

. GCM: https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/server
. Google Maps (with trace route) - (Esri on Server using NT)
. Material Designers
. Sync (one way, from server to mobile - started by APP events like launch app, change tab, move from edges like facebook) with NT WebService *
. Customized APP through server setup (splah window, backgroup, colors, tab names)
. cache image. it's a good ideia to implement FRESCO from facebook (https://code.facebook.com/posts/366199913563917/introducing-fresco-a-new-image-library-for-android/), or not?
. obfuscate code
. Navigation bar
. side menu

* memory is a big issue on mobile, so i had to create a different approach to manage deleted records. I created an DELETEDTABLE and using triggers for delete/update (update when disabling some records) to delete records on mobile side. all tables, including DELETEDTABLE has datetime field to manage sync.

I hope to moving it to NT APP 9 as soon as possible.
