MOBILE SPECIFIC FEATURESWINDEV Mobile 20 offers the standarddevelopment features, and of course thefeatures specific to the use of mobiledevices, such as SMS reading, accelerometermanagement, compass management, GPSpositioning, bar codes ...Integrating the various connection technolo-gies (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared, GPRS, 3G,4G, replication, synchronization, ...) withyour company’s Information System ischild’s play with WINDEV Mobile 20!

PROGRAM IN 5GL: 90% LESS CODE WLanguage, a 5th generation language, letsyou develop faster than a traditional lan-guage. Its powerful functions make the codeeasier to write and read, simplifying both thedevelopment and the maintenance. A spe-cific mobile RAD lets you generate applica-tions!

To discover WLanguage, don’t hesitate todownload the free Express version ofWINDEV Mobile.

ACCESS TOAPIS You can access thehardware’s APIs. Ifnecessary, you cancode very specificprocesses.

YOU’RE FAMILIAR WITHWINDEV?You develop in a familiar way, usingWLanguage, with the added benefit of theefficient environment you know, and reusingyour existing code if appropriate.

WINDEV COMPATIBILITYYou have WINDEV applications?The compatibility between WINDEV andWINDEV Mobile is amazing: code, analyses,UML, classes, queries, controls (edit, table,splitter, looper, etc.)! You can reuse and share most of the code,classes, queries and UI. Database programming is identical.Given that the screen’s size is smaller, youjust need to resize the windows, which isvery easy to do with WINDEV Mobile 20!You re-use your existing code.

TEST AND DEBUGDEVELOPMENT, DEBUGGING ON THE PC VIA THEPROVIDED SIMULATOR Development is done directly on the PC. Application testing is per-formed directly on the PC, thanks to a very powerful “simulation”mode. The debugger offers advanced features: break points, resume, on

the fly codemodifica-tion, viewvariables’content...

DEBUGGING THE ACTUAL DEVICE FROM THE PC In some cases, debugging on the actual terminal is required: specialterminal, terminal using devices that can’t be emulated on the PC,using the real data found in a mobile specific software (for example,Outlook: email contents, appointments, scanner, RFID...).Thanks to version 20, you can easily debug on the actual hardware (onWindows Mobile), using real data. Note that there is no additional soft-ware to install on the mobile device, because everything is controlledfrom the PC.

Here a window being created and its execu-tion in “simulation” mode on the PC.

POWERFUL UI EDITOR (WINDOWS AND CONTROLS)WINDEV Mobile offers the most efficient GUIgenerator (windows and controls) in theworld. The WINDEV Mobile 20 UI generator enablesyou to create quickly and without anyrequired skill great-looking interfaces, thatare also secure and easy to use. Window creation is assisted. The edit controls are very powerful and theypropose a set of security mechanisms(mandatory controls or not, authorizedcharacters, ...) and a lot of input formats The famous “7-tab” technology is also usedto manage the graphic look of your win-dows.

TEST YOUR APPLICATIONSINSTANTLYClick the “GO” icon to run an instant test ofthe window and the application, directly onthe development PC.

PORTABILITYAn application’s windows can be specific tothe iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, a smartphoneor an Android tablet, a Windows Phonedevice... or common to all these devices andall their various screen sizes, thanks to theuse of anchors. You can choose to develop for a specificdevice, or for a set of devices.

ALL SCREEN RESOLUTIONSAND DPI.WINDEV Mobile 20 support all the sizes,screen resolution and DPI.The portait and landscape modes are sup-ported; if needed, a window can be locked inportrait or landscape mode.Anchor management for controls (the con-trol expands or shrinks automaticallyaccording to the screen’s size) allows you tocreate portable interfaces for screens of dif-ferent sizes.

ANIMATION OF WINDOWSOpening a window can be paired with an ani-mation.A window can for instance come up from theright, or the left or the bottom of the screen.

VERY POWERFUL CONTROLSThe available controls are very powerful andthey allow you with just a simple slide/movein the editor to create some user-friendlywindows without any effort.An edit control offers, without any pro-gramming, dozens of automaticfeatures and security checks:required input, convert touppercase, types of char-acters authorized in input,direct link with thedatabase, ...These functionalities areimplemented with a sim-ple click in the windoweditor (“7-tab” technol-ogy), and can be modifiedthrough programming.

SKIN TEMPLATESA skin template defines thegraphic style of an applica-tion. The created controlsadopt by default the characteristicsof the skin template (but can of course stillbe modified). Therefore, the created win-dows respect the graphic charter by default.WINDEV Mobile 20 comes with a large num-ber of skin templates. You can also createyour own skin templates.

THE “7-TAB” WINDOW:REVOLUTIONARY Once the control is positioned,simply define its characteristics(required input, mask, graphiclook, link with the database,anchor, ...) using the “7-tab” tech-nology.The enter the code in the corre-sponding events...

CREATE CONTROLS USING DRAG & DROP Control creation is done visually by moving the type of con-trol you want from the editor’s ribbon to the location youwant inside the window.


THE WINDOWS

The one changing things among mobiles isthe size of their screens! Even on the same mobile, there are 2 displayoptions: portrait and landscape!How to develop aesily and only once for allthese different modes?It’s easy with the multi-view editing inWINDEV Mobile 20.

DIFFERENT CONTROL POSITIONING DEPENDINGON THE ORIENTATION (PORTRAIT/LANDSCAPE)The position of the controls often differsbased on the device’s orientation. For exam-ple, in portrait mode texts are located belowan image, though when in landscape mode,they’re located to the right of the image.In the WINDEV Mobile 20 editor, you canposition controls differently in the same win-dow, based on its orientation, directly in theeditor, without having to code anything.

COMMON IOS & ANDROIDWINDOW IN THE STANDARDOF EACH SYSTEM

End users demand, which is understandable,that their applications’ windows respecttheir phone’s standard!For example, on Android, users expect anaction bar at the top of their windows.

On iOS, users expect a navigation bar with a“Back” button.

WINDEV Mobile 20 now allows you to createwindows that automatically respect theAndroid and iOS standards, while leaving itup to WINDEV Mobile 20 to manage the dif-ferences in UI: no programming is required.You edit and maintain a single window foriOS and Android.


MULTI-VIEW EDITING

iOS

Portrait Landscape

iPhone 5ANDROIDGalaxy

Note the different position ofthe controls based on thescreen’s orientation. The devel-oper sets each position.

Note: the Android Action Bar is replaced by a naviga-tion bar in iOS: this switch is automatic. Same for thefooter bar.


INSTANT EDITING TABLET <> TELEPHONE, PORTRAIT <> LANDSCAPE,IOS <> ANDROID

When creating or modifying a window, it ispossible to view in real time the window’slayout in several other configurations: inanother system, in portrait or landscape, onphone or tablet.

Phones from different manufacturers don’thave the same screen size, tablets are avail-able in several screen sizes, etc.

This multiple view can also be useful whendeveloping for a single system, singledevice, to view the result for 3 screen sizesfor different phones.This multiple view is very useful to check theresult of anchors being set.You instantly see the impact of a modifica-tion on other targets.

At runtime, the application automaticallyselects the screen’s orientation to use,based first on the equipment’s resolutionand then on the orientation.In this multiple editing mode, when adding acontrol to a window in edit mode, it auto-matically comes up in all the other views.... Everything is dynamic.

ACCESS TO A THIRD-PARTYDATABASE Accessing a third-party database (Oracle,SQL Server, ..) from a mobile is done via theSQLExec family of functions.Simply install a (provided) web service thataccesses the third-party database.


DATA STRUCTURE DESCRIPTIONThe description of the database structuresis done via the data model editor that comeswith the development environment.


MANAGEMENT The management of databases is easy. All the required tools are provided: reindex-ing, automatic data modification, ... The HFSQL Control Center centralizes themanagement for the Client/Server part.


SECURITY: ENCRYPTIONHFSQL lets you encrypt data and indexes. This is an important security feature formobile devices, which can easily be takenaway from their ownersThe encryption key can be found in a table,in a program, entered by the user, ordeduced from various elements.


RESUME CONNECTION The reconnection feature after an unex-pected drop (Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G drop) is auto-matic. The disconnected application reconnectswith all the database contexts preserved. For example if the application is positionedon the customer “SMITH” when the net-work goes down, when the network comesback up, the application will still be pointingto the customer “SMITH” and all the vari-ables in the program will be correctlyassigned.This is an automatic security for your appli-cations, and great comfort for your users


COMPLETE BINARY COMPATIBILITYHFSQL Classic, HFSQL CLient/Server andHFSQL Mobile are fully compatible: dataand indexes are stored in a unique format.For example, a database can be copieddirectly from an iPhone to a HyperFileSQLClient/Server server! no conversion isneeded.The tables (data and index files) can easilybe shared or exchanged with the back officefor instance.


MOBILE REPLICATION Universal replication between an Android oriOS mobile on one hand, and HFSQLClient/Server and third-party databases(Oracle, SQL Server, ...) on the other hand isavailable. This new features allows mobile devices touse recent embedded data, then updatethem, and this without a persistent connec-tion, and without risk of data loss.Your applications are linked to the enter-prise’s information system in any circum-

stances.For instance, sales people are in the field,using their tablet to present products, takeorders directly at the client’s.Since there is not guarantee that a 3G or 4Gconnection will be available at the very backof a building, nor a Wi-Fi access point, theapplication uses the embedded databasefound on the tablet.Once the sales person is done, back to hiscar for instance, he can start a replicationwith the enterprise database.

ANDROID

SQLITE: NATIVE ACCESSNative access to SQLite lets you nativelyaccess the data files found on Androiddevices via the usual WLanguage com-mands (FileToScreen, ...) You can also access these files from a PC, tosynchronize data for instance.WINDEV 20 and WEBDEV 20 also offernative access to SQLite, which allows easydata synchronization


HOST YOUR DATA IN THECLOUD

HFSQL databases can be hosted in thecloud. The PCSCloud.net company (and other com-panies) proposes solutions that can be eas-ily to implemented. This way the data is always accessible, with-out having to worry about the software orhardware infrastructure.

DEPLOYMENT:EASYDEPLOYMENT OF APPLICA-TIONS WINDEV Mobile 20 lets you choose one of 3ways offered by Apple to deploy your appli-cations:• AppStore• Ad Hoc distribution• In-House Distribution.

The distribution of an application via theAppStore depends upon approval fromApple (your application must go throughand pass a validation process).An application distributed via the AppStoreis visible and accessible by the public.“Ad Hoc” and “In-House” type distributions(see below) let you distributeapplications without having tovalidate them with Apple, andwithout having to share thempublicly.Your professional applications areprotected this way from anyunwanted publicity, and from down-load by third-parties.You master your applications’ distri-bution, and you don’t need to pay anycommissions.

“AD HOC” DEPLOYMENT The Ad Hoc deployment mode lets youdeploy your application on a maximum of100 devices. The installation is done manually fromeach device.The application does not need to gothrough Apple’s validation process, and isnot publicly available.

“IN-HOUSE” DEPLOYMENT The “In-house” deployment mode removethe constraints on the maximum number ofdevices: the application can be deployed onas many devices as you want.This type of deployment also removes theconstraints of the physical installation. Thedeployment is performed via a web server,which eliminates manual operations on eachdevice.The application does not need to go throughApple’s validation process.This type of deployment requires acquiringa special license from Apple.

DEPLOYMENT ON THEAPPSTOREDeployment via the AppStore, Apple’s onlinestore, is possible for some applications.

Any application intended to be deployed onthe AppStore must be validated andaccepted by Apple beforehand.

These 3 deployment methods depend only on Apple andmay change at any time. You may need to have a licenseor a subscription with Apple, or to have special hardwarefrom Apple. Please visit the Apple’s web site to check theaccuracy of the information and the special conditions atthe time you’re reading this information.
