A simple research on Rhomobile framework. The information may seem to be bias for some viewers. As i said it is personal research it should not effect personal decisions.

12. Summary

13. Drawbacks

15. We like to make an enterprise opensource mobile application for our product ODMS.

16. To start developing the HHT application we have to explore different platforms available in the market and select one which coincide our requirements.

18. Pidion, Opticon, Hp iPAQ.

19. This application will facilitate the sales department for order booking and/or spot selling purposes.

22. Five major smartphone sales hone OS are iPhone, BB, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android.

23. Mobile applications can be developed by using different frameworks and programming languages based on the type of mobile device.

24. Founded in 2008, Rhomobile, headquartered in San Jose, CA, is a privately held company with backing from vSpring Capital.

25. So Rhomobile came up with the idea of developing an application with one code base and building it for all smart phones.

28. Rhosync

29. RhoHub

30. RhoGallery

32. Currently, the Rhodes framework supports development for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Google Android, Symbian, and BlackBerry operating systems.

33. Available opensource: http://www.github.com/rhomobile

37. It develops native applications for almost all smart phones, but you need to have the particular operating system for developing locally.

38. It is the only cross mobile framework based on Model

39. View Controller.

41. Rhom supports two models: 'Property bag' and 'Fixed Schema'

42. The database is SQLite on all platforms except BlackBerry, where it is HSQL

43. To develop for a particular platform you need to have it’s specific SDK

44. Rhodes Architecture Back to Agenda

46. Rhosync uses Redis, which is a NoSql Key Value store for data caching.

47. Synchronization framework facilitates data synchronization between the Rhodes/RhoSync-Client and a third-party source (SOAP, REST, etc.)

58. Your application can use the AsyncHttp library to interact with web services, pull remote images, etc.

60. :headers – Hash of headers to send with the request.

61. :callback – Callback action to execute when the request is done.

63. The RhoSync application will be deployed on the famous Ruby cloud Heroku with the interface of RhoHub.

64. It allows us to directly build an application for different smart phones without installing SDKs.

65. RhoHub also assist user by its online Editor.

66. RhoHub editor supports for e.g. e diting Ruby/HTML/CSS/JavaScript files, viewing image files, uploading of local files into the editor, adding, removing, and renaming of files and directories

68. It enables users to launch all of their important enterprise apps from a single place

69. RhoGallery consists of a management console for "app galleries" on RhoHub

70. RhoGallery makes it easy to expose those apps to their users

71. RhoGallery handles inviting the users and determining the appropriate downloads to provide to them.

72. Back to Agenda Summary

74. The support for symbian based phones is limited for their commercial interest.

75. Rhomobile mainly targeted platforms are iPhone and Android.

76. You can write simple interface apps with rhodes but if you want to make more fancy look for your app you need to implement it with HTML5,CSS,JavaScript,JQuerryMobile.

78. While using RhoHub you have to keep pull your changes to your local PC and keep backups of them.

79. If you've edited native controls of any application you cannot compile it on other platforms it will be confronted for that mobile OS.

80. It limits by phone storage, works fine with 100MB database but after that application becomes slow.

82. To develop an enterprise level app with full functionality the developer should know the following in depth
