Despite being marketed as an entertainment device rather than a mobile platform for business, the iPad continues to gain traction as a mobile device for the next generation business user. For some organizations, the rich user interaction and usability afforded by the iPad is a compelling reason to work towards cross-platform capability or iPad specific versions of line-of-business systems. In this session we’ll review custom iPad specific enhancements for SharePoint 2010, including changes to the user interface based on the orientation of the device. Presented at SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach (January 7, 2012).

6. DEVICE ORIENTATION DETECTION
• Consumer adoption leading to growth in the business sector
• New ability to touch and interact with business data
• Increased user experience
• Efficiently manage limited screen real estate

7. Device Orientation Detection
CSS APPROACH
1/7/2012 Enhancing SharePoint 2010 for the iPad 7

8. CSS APPROACH
• Utilizes orientation aware Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• Little overhead, no code or script required
• Detects Portrait vs. Landscape
• Browser determines ratio of browser width vs. height
• Use to display, hide, or change size of elements for specific
orientations
• Ideal for integrating orientation detection with site-wide branding

9. SUPPORTED ORIENTATIONS
Portrait Landscape

10. ATTACHING STYLE SHEETS
• Standard “link” tag with media attribute
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:portrait)” href=“portrait.css” />
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:landscape)” href=“landscape.css” />
• Cross-Browser Support
<!--[if !IE]><! --> All style sheets should be attached after Core.css
and custom CSS registrations.
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:portrait)” href=“portrait.css” />
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:landscape)” href=“landscape.css” />
<!--<![endif]-->
<!—[if IE]>
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:landscape)” href=“landscape.css” />
<![endif]-->

11. EXAMPLES
• Hide Quick Launch when • Hide any content with the
device is in Portrait orientation “notPortrait” class; similar to
ues of “s4-notdlg”.
Portrait.css Portrait.css
#s4-leftpanel { .notPortrait {
display: none; display: none;
} }
.s4-ca {
margin-left: 0px;
}

12. Device Orientation Detection
SCRIPTED APPROACH
1/7/2012 Enhancing SharePoint 2010 for the iPad 12

13. SCRIPTED APPROACH
• Utilizes client-side script (Javascript/jQuery)
• Scripted specifically for iPad
• Identifies numerical orientation value
• Orientation value returned by device hardware/accelerometer
• Uses:
• Bind functions to orientation changes
• Animate element changes
• Make changes to the Document Object Model (DOM)

14. SUPPORTED ORIENTATIONS
-90° 0° 90° 180°
1/7/2012 Enhancing SharePoint 2010 for the iPad 14

15. SCRIPTING ORIENTATION DETECTION
<script type=“text/javascript”>
function ProcessOrientation(currentOrientation) { // Handle orientation processing
if (currentOrientation == 0 || currentOrientation == 180) {
// Is Portrait
} else if (currentOrientation == 90 || currentOrientation == -90) {
// Is Landscape
}
}
var isiPad = navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null;
if (isiPad) { // Process only if true
ProcessOrientation(window.orientation); // Process initial orientation
window.onorientationchange = function() { // Process when orientation changes
ProcessOrientation(window.orientation);
}
}
</script>

16. EXAMPLES
• Hide Quick Launch when • Hide any content with the
device is in Portrait orientation “notPortrait” class; similar to
ues of “s4-notdlg”.
jQuery jQuery
if (Portrait) { if (Portrait) {
$(“#s4-leftpanel”).hide(); $(“.notPortrait”).hide();
$(“.s4-ca”).css(“marginLeft”, 0); }
} if (Landscape) {
if (Landscape) { $(“.notPortrait”).show();
$(“#s4-leftpanel”).show(); }
$(“.s4-ca”).css(“marginLeft”, “150px”);
}

17. ADVANCED EXAMPLES
• Hide Quick Launch with • Move contents of one
animation when device is in container to another, and back
Portrait orientation again
jQuery jQuery
if (Portrait) { if (Portrait) {
$(“#s4-leftpanel”).animate( $(“#C1”).clone().appendTo(“#C2”);
[“left”: “=-150px”], “slow” $(“#C1”).html(“”);
); }
$(“.s4-ca”).animate( if (Landscape) {
[“marginLeft”: “0px”], “slow” $(“#C2”).clone().appendTo(“#C1”);
); $(“#C2”).html(“”);
} }
if (Landscape) {
$(“#s4-leftpanel”).animate(
[“left”: “=+150px”], “slow”
);
$(“.s4-ca”).animate(
[“marginLeft”: “150px”], “slow”
);
}

20. Cross-Platform Video
HTML5
1/7/2012 Enhancing SharePoint 2010 for the iPad 20

21. HTML5 VIDEO
• No third party plugin support on the iPad, only option for embedded
video is use of HTML5
• HTML5 standard dictates support for embedded video with <video>
tag
• HTML5 does NOT standardize video format
IE Firefox Safari Chrom Opera iOS

22. HTML5 VIDEO TAG
<video width=“640” height=“360” controls>
<!-- MP4 file must be first for iPad compatibility -->
<source src=“video.mp4” type=“video/mp4” /> <!-- Safari/iOS -->
<source src=“video.ogv” type=“video/ogg” /> <!-- Firefox/Opera/Chrome10 -->
<!-- fallback to Flash -->
<object width=“640” height=“360” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash”
data=“flash.swf”>
<param name=“movie” value=“flash.swf” />
<param name=“flashvars” value=“controlbar=over&amp;image=poster.jpg
&amp;file=video.mp4” />
<!-- fallback image -->

</object>
</video>

23. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
• iPad passes embedded video requests to QuickTime for rendering
• QuickTime lacks support for any proxy or authentication methods, and
iPads cannot join a domain
• Video files must be anonymously accessible
