Application SDK
Application SDK - Introduction •
Designed for ready-to-deploy tablet and Windows Mobile applications
•
Allows developers to customize the applications -
Changes existing tasks/functions
-
Integrates new business logic and workflows
Application SDK – Key Concepts •
Task -
Defines a workflow for field operation
-
Embeds organization-specific business logic
-
Creates an entry on Task List Page
-
Inherits Task class
-
Execute() starts workflow
-
Example - Fire data collection task
Application SDK – Key Concepts (cont.)
•
Extension -
Customizes behavior of existing Tasks or functions
-
Needs to hook up to an extensible point in framework
-
Inherits ProjectExtension class
-
Either modifies existing workflow or introduces new business logic
-
Example: -
Laser Rangefinder Extension
-
Barcode Reader Extension
-
Bluetooth Camera Extension

Extends MapPage if you need a page with map
-
Best practice for memory optimization
-
You can customize -
Title bar (icon + title)
-
Soft menu
Application SDK – Extensible Points (cont) •
•
Edit Attributes Page -
Takes a Feature as input
-
Built-in data entry page when a group is activated
-
Built-in validation for required fields
-
Supports attachments
View Attributes Page -
Takes a Feature as input
-
Supports attachments
Application SDK – Extensible Points (cont) •
CollectFeaturesTask -
