CSS media queries in XPages for Internet Explorer 8 (responsive web design)

Julian Buss — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:45:12 +0200

just to make it more easy, you can import it in the WebContent folder, too. Makes no difference.

Is there any reason to import that library as image resource when you also can import it directly to the WebContent folder in the project structure?

Dojo - strange as Domino 9 GA announcement says, there is Dojo 1.7.2 inside ...

The public Domino 9 Beta (CD6) already contains Dojo 1.8.0.

Some details about Dojo 1.8 is available here (in German):

It was really time to get 1.8 into the product. Had to manually deploy it to the server now for half a year.

That is excellent work. Having the functionality directly in Dojo makes things really easy for XPages developers. JQuery Mobile really is limited to vanilla Domino work, so this is a very welcome addition.

Q&A: what is the best way to create mobile apps for IBM Notes?

TC — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:12:10 +0200

Julian

I looked at a number of frameworks (jQuery mobile, sencha touch) but found one annoyance : moving from page to page caused the address bar to show (briefly) so in the end I simply output all HTML from pure javascript (very simple really) and jQuery. Looked just like an app due to the icons used. Having said that, I would next time use a framework to save time.

As for offline storage, I used the SQL lite built into HTML5 browsers. 5mb is the default but is not (AFAIK) the limit : you can set it to the device's memory limit - though you won't be popular if you fill up someone's smartphone!

That’s the problem with cloud / SAAS services

Regarding Google Reader, give feedly a try. It syncs everything from Google Reader, including read/unread articles.

In addition, it looks like an HTML5 IndexedDB (which seems to be the current way of storing data offline) has a size limit of 5MB on a mobile device.

If so, it doesn't look as an option for me...

TC, with which framework did you develop the app?

How much data is stored offline, and what technique do you use for offline storage?

And does it look native on each type of device?

TC — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:12:10 +0200

Why not webapps? I have built a fully functioning app for my employer which uploads and downloads (and stores) data, and works fully offline. Works from a single set of code in iOS,RIM and Android and (apparently) most important, it looks like a native app. It's the future!

Seems you completely missed the JQuery Mobile option.

Personally I am a big fan of JQuery. And even more so for JQuery Mobile. It is extremely suited to the traditional way of using Domino development in that views become lists and and documents are loaded as pages in JQuery. It is very fast and simple. If you have an existing app you can create a mobile specific version in less than an hour.

By using manifest and data caching you can also use the app off-line as well.

Looks great ¡

thanks Julian ¡

Hi Ferry,

yes, it's based on the Dijit Tree Control, too :-)

And in the article, one can learn what's behind the scenes and how to read a view very fast, so that the control works with a lot of documents, too.

My next article is nearly done.

Nice! It looks like the Tree control I modified a while back on OpenNTF { Link }
