Coding for the User Agent

XPage with Custom Controls

SSJS render() Function

function render(key) {render = false;var ua = header.get("User-Agent");var ua = ua.toLowerCase();

switch (key) {case "browser" :if(ua.indexOf('android') == -1 && ua.indexOf('iphone') == -1 && ua.indexOf('ipad') == -1 && ua.indexOf('blackberry') == -1) {render = true;};break;case "blackberrywebkit" :if(ua.indexOf('blackberry') != -1 && ua.indexOf('webkit') != -1) {render = true;};break;default :if (ua.indexOf(key) != -1) {var render = true;}break;}

return render;}

Progressive Enhancement for Software Development

Design for base functionality across all clients, but provide enhanced features & functionality based on User Agent/Client Device capabilities.

Leveraging GPS via JavaScript

var clng = getLongitude();var clat = getLatitude();var message = document.getElementById("message"); message.innerHTML="Longitude: " + clng + "";message.innerHTML+="Latitude: " + clat + "";

Cloud Services Integration

Most Cloud Services
expose their solution via
integration APIs... but are
often even more simple
to employ.

REALLY Simple:

Domino Designer Package Explorer

Explore your NSFsApplication properties

Design elements

Resources

Web content

PE != Folders | DirectoriesFolders exist to display
content in hierarchy; most
not available to OS browsing

Controlling the XPage Content Type

One-click Microsoft Excel (or Symphony Spreadsheets) via XPages and SSJS

var writer = facesContext.getResponseWriter();var response = exCon.getResponse();var projects:NotesView = database.getView('projects')var viewNav:NotesViewNavigator = projects.createViewNav();var viewEnt:NotesViewEntry = viewNav.getFirst();var output:string = "";while (viewEnt != null) { output += ""; output += "" + viewEnt.getColumnValues()[0]; + ""; output += "" + viewEnt.getColumnValues()[2] + ""; output += "" + viewEnt.getColumnValues()[1] + ""; output += "" + viewEnt.getColumnValues()[3] + ""; output += "";viewEnt = viewNav.getNext(viewEnt);}response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=projects.xls");response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");writer.write("");writer.write("");writer.write("Project");writer.write("Developer");writer.write("Estimate ( Hours )");writer.write("Estimate ( Budget )");writer.write("");writer.write(output);writer.write("");writer.endDocument();}]]>

Leveraging Pass-Thru Markup in XPages
