Registering an Application

Each device must register with the server before establishing a connection.

To register the device with the server during the initial application startup, use the registerApplication method in the com.sybase.mobile.Application class. You do not need to use the registerApplication method for subsequent application startups.To start the connection to complete the registration process, use the Application.startConnection method.

Call the generated database's setApplication method before starting the connection or registering the device.

The following code shows how to register the application and device.

// Initialize Application settings
Application app = Application.getInstance();
		
// The identifier has to match the 
// application ID deployed to the SUP server
app.setApplicationIdentifier("SUP101");
ApplicationCallback appCallback = new ApplicationCallback();
app.setApplicationCallback(appCallback); // optional
app.setApplicationContext(myAndroidContext); // required
               // use the android.content.Context for the application

// set connection properties, login credentials,  etc
...

// Register the application
SUP101DB.setApplication(app);
if (app.getRegistrationStatus() != RegistrationStatus.REGISTERED)
{
   // If the application has not been registered to the server,
   // register now
   app.registerApplication(<timeout_value>);
}
else
{        
   // start the connection to server
   app.startConnection(<timeout_value>);
}
