Applications are the primary objects you work with in Mobile Web Studio. Applications are dynamic, reusable components that capture and deliver information to end users of portals or wireless devices. Applications consist of one or more content elements arranged within a template. These elements can display Web content, XML feeds, database query results, JavaServer Pages, or HTML. The type of elements you use when creating applications depends on the results you wish to achieve.
This section provides some tips and guidelines for developing applications.
When creating mobile applications, be aware of the memory and display limitations of the mobile device.
Mobilize only what you need. Identify the key information the mobilized user needs. For example, choose tabular data.
Use the List/Detail functionality to filter rules to repurpose data for the mobile device.
Use images only where necessary inside grids.
Use linked application and server side click-across features to achieve application flow.
Use the appropriate templates for the various device types you expect the users to have.
Identify the application source. Unwired Accelerator provides specialized tools for creating elements, such as data, Web, XML, and JSP.
