6 What Device is Accessing Your Application?

7 Evolving With Oracle Forms Client Server

8 Evolving With Oracle Forms Mobile Client Server

9 Understanding Mobile Requirements Application Functionality - No mouse, Touch gestures Device Type Phone / Tablet Screen size Network type Security, Speed Device features integration Types of Users Occasional, Internal/external Type of Applications Browser Based / Hybrid

10 3 Mobile Application Types Mobile Web Apps Native Mobile Apps Hybrid Mobile Apps Mobile Web App (Viewed in Safari) Native App (ios) Online application accessed through mobile device browser Browser governs access to local storage and device services (camera, GPS, etc.) Highly reusable code Highly portable Application installed & runs on device Optimized for specific mobile platform and form factor Direct access to local storage and device services Code reuse can be complex Portability requires work Application installed & runs on device with HTML5 UI Optimized for specific mobile platform & form factor Direct access to local storage and device services Code reuse simplified Portability simplified

11 Oracle ADF Multi Channel Framework Database Legacy Systems Oracle ADF Web Cloud Web Services Oracle Applications Mobile Office

12 Oracle ADF Mobile Unique Hybrid Mobile Framework Oracle ADF Mobile Java HTML5 Built On Standards Use Existing Skills Set

13 ADF Mobile Overview Thin Native container on each platform Allows for device interaction Push notification support HTML5/JavaScript Frontend Java Backend Encrypted SQLite

14 Integrated Development Environment Focused on Productivity Oracle JDeveloper Extension Declarative and visual development Integration with Apple Xcode and Android SDK Component based UI construction Task Flows Data Controls Packaging Deployment Debugging

15 Business Services Development Code logic with Java Lightweight JVM Easy access to Remote - Web service SOAP REST XML, REST JSON Local Business Logic Java Classes SQLite DB - Portable, lightweight relational database

16 UI Content options Device native user experience Local AMX File JSF-like file built visually in JDeveloper Generated into HTML/JS on device at RT Remote URL Any server-side HTML Local HTML File Coded with any third-party HTML5 frameworks

17 ADF Mobile XML Components (AMX) XML format built visually in JDeveloper 50+ Components Declarative data binding Rendered into HTML5 on device at RT

18 Basic Components ListView Forms Charts Gauge T-Maps Carousel GeoMap

19 DVT Charts, Gauges, Maps

20 Device Rich Features

21 Do you still carry around one of these?

22 Device Features Interaction Leverages Apache Cordova Drag and drop to use SMS Contacts GPS Camera Or access programmatically

23 Gesture Navigation Support Configure components to react to the following gestures: Swipe to the right, left, up, down Tap-and-hold Set the Type attribute when using the following operations: Set Property Listener (e.g. setting Scope Variables) Action Listener (e.g. invoking Backing Beans) Show Popup Behavior & Close Popup Behavior Navigating between Panel Items

24 Security Data Caching Challenges Mobile devices can lose/turn off connectivity Offline access to data is a common requirement But it will increase the complexity of your application If you cache data locally you must consider When to cache the data How much data to cache When to synchronize updates Recording the order of updates How to deal with synchronization conflicts Security of the data if the device is lost
