Develop custom device applications from your data source for one or more device platforms.
Once you have developed your mobile business objects (MBOs), you have several options for creating custom device applications:
- In the Mobile Application Diagram, invoke the Generate Code wizard to generate code in Java (BlackBerry devices), C# (Windows Mobile devices), or Objective C (iPhone devices), which can be used to call the mobile business object operations. This code can then be imported into an integrated development environment (IDE) of your choice to create the mobile device application.
- Use the Device Application Designer in Eclipse to build the device application flow and screens using a data source, for example, MBOs, then generate and compile the code for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile device platforms. Test the compiled code on an emulator or device.
You can also customize the generated object API code in the applicable development environment, where you can then test by deploying to an emulator or device.
For example, if you are using Visual Studio to develop custom mobile applications for Windows Mobile devices, generate the C# code from the data source in Eclipse, then customize the client object API code for the device application in Visual Studio.
- Use the Mobile Workflow Forms Editor in Eclipse to generate the code for a mobile workflow package.
See Sybase Unwired WorkSpace – Device Application Development for information about these options.
