description
Developers have their pick of various mobile frameworks and each framework has its own pros and cons. After working with several of them and coming across roadblocks that make it difficult to work seamlessly with XPages, Rich Sharpe and Matt White decided to write their own lightweight widgets that they could re-use for mobile projects. These widgets are now referred to as the Unplugged Mobile Controls Project on OpenNTF, and together, Matt and Rich will take a deep dive into how to use these controls and why they were created. The first part of the session will cover the basics before moving on to some more advanced Controls features, such as auto-complete and full DB searches - all displayed on a smartphone and tablet.

Unplugged Mobile Controls – Deep Dive
Richard Sharpe & Matt White 24th July 2013
Disclaimer
Unplugged XPages Mobile Controls is NOT the same as the Teamstudio Unplugged Product Unplugged is NOT required to run or use these
controls – but of course you can test the Teamstudio
Unplugged product for free Opinions stated here are from us (the
presenters) on experiences and work we have performed

Agenda Introduction Why These Controls Were Built (and Limitations) How to Get The Unplugged Mobile XPages Controls A Very Quick Starter Example Deep Dive – Search
– Local Search – Database Search – A-Z Search Control
Deep Dive – Forms – Auto-complete – Clear field content – Date Picker
Future Roadmap Questions
© 2013 Teamstudio, Inc.
Why These Controls Were Built (and Limitations) Frustrated with performance of other frameworks (e.g.
JQueryMobile) Frustrated at the design restrictions with other frameworks
(IBM Mobile Controls) – Although Unplugged Mobile XPages Controls does have a small
level of coupling Frustrated with the level of difficulty of combining external
frameworks with XPages and Domino Designer Designed to be modular widgets Designed first to work on Teamstudio Unplugged and then
mobile web browsers – E.g. Direct XPage datasource to forms in external databases not
supported (views are and use SSJS to access the documents)

Deep Dive - Forms

Deep Dive – Forms (Gotchas)
Our save vs XPages save

Deep Dive - Search
Handover to Rich
© 2013 Teamstudio, Inc.
Deep Dive – Search (Gotchas)
AZ Picker – Make sure that the control is in the <div id=‘content’>
(Designer can automatically put this somewhere else) DB Search
– Make sure no hidden columns in view – Ensure UnpSearchDatabase.js is included – First column in view must be @LowerCase ‘d – Symptoms are:
• Blank pages when clicked • A flash on the screen and all content displayed
