What Device is Accessing Your Application?
Understanding Mobile Requirements• Application Functionality - No mouse, Touch
gestures• Device Type – Phone / Tablet• Screen size• Network type – Security , Speed• Device features integration• Types of Users – Occasional, Internal/external• Type of Applications – Browser Based / Hybrid
Mobile Web App(Viewed in Safari)
3 Mobile Application TypesMobile Web
Apps Online application
accessed through mobile device browser
Browser governs access to local storage and device services (camera, GPS, etc.)
Highly reusable code
Highly portable
Native MobileApps
Application installed & runs on device
Optimized for specific mobile platform and form factor
Direct access to local storage and device services
Code reuse can be complex
Portability requires work
Hybrid MobileApps
Application installed & runs on device with HTML5 UI
Optimized for specific mobile platform & form factor
Direct access to local storage and device services
Code reuse simplified Portability simplified

Do you still carry around one of these?
Device Interaction / Gestures• Leverages Apache Cordova
• Drag and drop to use– Email– SMS– Contacts– GPS– Camera
• Configure components to react to the following gestures:– Swipe to the right, left, up,
down– Tap-and-hold
Data Caching• Mobile devices can lose/turn off connectivity• Offline access to data is a common requirement• But it will increase the complexity of your application
• If you cache data locally you must consider– When to cache the data– How much data to cache– When to synchronize updates– Recording the order of updates– How to deal with synchronization conflicts– Security of the data if the device is lost
