Customizing the About Screen and Other Branding

Customize the About screen.

In some parts of the code, branding information is retrieved not from strings.xml, but from a constant in the Brand class. You cannot change these constants, but they are used only in a small number of places, and you can replace them where they are used. The Brand class is used mostly in the About screen, but there are a few other cases (all marked by the ANDROID_CUSTOMIZATION_POINT_BRAND comment tag).

  1. Open the CustomizationHelper.java file, which is located in ...\HybridWebContainer\src\com\sybase\hwc.
    This is where the strings in the About screen are set.
  2. Locate the customAbout method.
    Sample code is shown in this method. The default behavior is for the method to return false.The sample code produces the below dialog.



  3. Uncomment the sample code, change the text to what you want to display, and change return false; to return true;.
