This document summarizes a user group meeting about Unplugged mobile controls. It includes deep dives on the UnpDialog, UnpAlert, and UnpTabbedFooter controls. It also discusses an abstracted design method using OneView as an example to pull data from multiple databases into a single mobile application design. The document ends with contact information for questions.

1. UNPLUGGED MOBILE CONTROLS
USER GROUP
May 2014

2. Agenda
 Deep Dive
 UnpDialog
 UnpAlert
 UnpTabbedFooter
 Case Study
 Extracted Design Method (OneView Example)
 Q & A

3. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Problem: dialog(String); cannot be formatted

4. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 UnpDialog gives full range of customization
 Size, color, background, font etc

5. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Usage:
1) Drag a UnpDialog control onto your XPage
2) Complete Title and Callback custom properties
3) Drag in a label or computed text for content

6. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Usage:
4) ‘Callback’ is an optional client side JS function
executed on ‘OK’
5) To trigger, call: unp.openDialog('dialogPopup');

7. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Callback is a CSJS function:

8. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Current Disadvantages:
1. Only 1 dialog per page as ID is hard coded
2. Cannot pass arguments into function call
(‘Callback’ property)

9. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 OtherAdvantages:
1. Extendable and can include other controls

10. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Example: Selecting an item from a list (2 Options)
1) ComboBox/Dropdown:

11. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 ComboBox/Dropdown:

12. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Do not use xp:ListBox for this:
 Blank as the HTML code generated in the same as for
a xp:comboBox
 But no ‘selected’ attribute can be set

13. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Displayed list of items use xp:repeat and ul/li:

14. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Scrollable area inside the dialog

15. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Advantage 2 – Use SSJS (back to comboBox
example)

16. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Activate via hidden button

17. Deep Dive - UnpDialog
 Exercise for viewer:
 Apply SSJS to ul/li version
 Hint use xp:panel with tagName =“li” for <li>

18. Deep Dive - UnpAlert
 Simpler than UnpDialog – just a message and ‘Close’ button
 Drag in and complete the custom properties ‘Title’ and
‘Content’
 WIP currently – will be part of Controls 3.3 release
 Want to parameterize title and content so multiple alerts
can be used on same page

19. Deep Dive – UnpTabbedFooter
 Aid with Navigation usually for large
forms/high number of fields but can be used
as alternative to the UnpNavigator control
 Allows the compartmentalization of form
‘areas’

20. Deep Dive – UnpTabbedFooter
 Usage:
 Drag the custom control onto your XPage and set the
synctype property to point to either 'none', 'currentDB' or
'alldbs' to allow syncing the current db only (default) or all
dbs on device. If set to 'none' then the sync button will not
appear.
 Create 'tabs' to include tappable areas in the footer for
navigation purposes.Within each 'tab' you can set the icon,
text, icon when tapped and the page to navigate to.
 A callback client side JS function is available to perform
post tap events
 PostSyncTarget will navigate the user to a specified XPage
after a sync has completed *
 Navigation via the tabbed footer is currently performed as
a full page load.
* Not for MobileWeb Browser Apps – only valid for Unplugged apps

21. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Creating a mobile design in one NSF that pulls data
from other NSFs.

22. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Set up data in a view in existing DBs
 View must be common

23. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 In new ‘Design DB’:
 Use data sources to external DB’s.

24. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Use beforeRenderResponse to collate data

25. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Use scoped var to sort data

26. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Store results in scoped var

27. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Use xp:repeat and Controls CSS to mimic
UnpFlatView

28. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 Result…

29. Design Architecture – Abstracted
Design
 For the form data, create the XPage content in
the original DB
 Use a ‘design’ XPage in the new design DB and
load the data via UNID using AJAX
