Software Developer Kit

Core SDK API • Builds new field applications from scratch • Embed GIS into existing Line-of-business applications • Connected or occasionally connected filed operations

Conceptual Documentation, API Reference, VS components & templates

Sample Code

Application SDK API • Extends ready-to-deploy applications • Creates new tasks or customizing existing functions • Available for Windows and Windows Mobile

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

Application SDK – Extensible Points •

MapPage -

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 -

Add/remove geometry collection methods

-

Add/remove groups (fields)

Application SDK – Extensible Points (cont) •

MenuDialog -

Think of it as a context menu on Windows

-

Use it when there are multiple actions available

Application SDK – Extensible Points (cont) •

•

SettingsPage -

A central place to configure settings

-

Add/remove settings

-

Saves with mobile project

Example: -

Laser Rangefinder -

Com port

-

Baudrate

Demo
