Device applications created in Unwired Platform 1.0 or 1.2 are automatically updated for version 1.5.2.
| Feature | Change |
|---|---|
| User templates | Version control will be added to user template screens. When a create or delete is performed on a template screen, if the template screen’s version is not current, the template screen migration will be performed on each of the user template screens. Template screens that are not migrated are written to a template_screen_name.xml.bad file. |
| Styles | Device Application Designer 1.5.2 uses style sets instead of styles, so the style definition of versions earlier than 1.5.2 are no longer valid. When an earlier version of the device application file is opened, the XML structure of the style is silently modified. |
| Tab folder and tab panel | Tab folders can no longer have any sibling controls on the display. When a device application file is opened, if there are controls outside of tab folders, they are removed. Actions that reference removed controls are reported by problem check. Tab panel When device application files that have controls within a tab panel are opened, the controls are silently moved to the panel display. |
| Headers and footers | Headers and footers are no longer used and are silently removed. |
| Stock screen properties | Unused and unsupported stock screen properties are removed when the device application file is opened. Platform-specific properties are moved to the RIM section. |
| Stock screens | The About, Push Settings, Screen Saver, and Profile stock screens are now settings screens. When a device application file that contains these screens is opened, those stock screens are removed, as well as connections to and from those screens. |
| Radio button | Style definitions are now defined once for all Radio Buttons within a Radio Group. The style that was assigned to the Radio Button with the lowest ID is now used for the Radio Group.
A text_equals_value attribute has been added to the radio button element definition. During migration, it is checked for each radio button and if the name and the value are identical, the text_equals_value attribute is set to true and the value attribute is removed. If the value is uniquely defined or defined as NULL, the text_equals_value attribute is set to false. |
| Menu items | When a Device Application Designer containing device context menus and Unwired Platform context menus is opened, the create, update, delete, details, and relationship context menu items are silently removed. |
| Hyperlink | During migration the hyperlink attribute activation will be removed if it was set, because the logical type is unknown. Verify the device application file and use the content assist feature to define the logical types. |
