Application Builder is a wizard that includes a succession of windows, you can use to define applications. The windows differ depending on the type of application you are creating (Web, HTML, JSP, and so forth). Application Builder includes:
New Element window – used to create the application type of your choice, including elements for Web, XML, database, JSP, Web service, HTML, document, file element, and SAP, if configured.
Split window – used to add parameters for splitting the columns or rows in a table. Split rules include:
Split – split the table by all rows, a specific row number, all columns, or a specific column number. To specify a specific row or column, enter the row or column number in the text box.
Split by Delimiter – split the rows or columns by Line Feed, Space, Comma, or Other. When you select Other, specify the delimiter to use in the text box to the right of the delimiter drop-down list.
Personalization – enabled when you select the Variable option. Personalization adapters retrieve values from external systems or databases and automatically submit them to the application.
Personalization adapters must be registered with Mobile Web Studio. Once you select a Personalization adapter, the available methods within the adapter display in the drop-down list. Select a method to specify the parameter within the Personalization adapter to submit to the application.
By default, the Split window, which is set in the global.properties.xml file, is hidden. The property is:
<Property name="SplitEnabled" value="false" description="Whether to expose grid split UI. true/false" menugroup="10"/>
See the Unwired Accelerator Developer’s Guide for more information about personalization adapters.
Define window – used to define the grid layout, for example, whether to display record labels or just the records.
Filter window – used to identify rows, columns, and fields in the application, as well as to specify additional grid rules. Grid rules enable you to manipulate the content and format of an application for display on a mobile device.
Configure Parameters window – used to customize the parameters, or variables, used to capture the grid or table. This enables application users to customize or personalize parameter values when they view the application on the mobile device.
Window Preview window – used to view the element and to give it a name.
Finish window – used to configure the application.
Leave the Application Builder window open while using
the wizard.
