Cross-Platform Mobile App Development Using Rhomobile Cross-Platform Approaches Cross-Platform Mobile App Development Using RhoMobile Cross-Platform Approaches ● Hybrid approach is most promising ● Web technologies are widely used everywhere ● Web developers (front-end HTML/JS) are much more numerous and cheap than iOS or Android devs ● There are some OS like WebOS and FireFox OS where you can write application only using web technologies ● By Gartner report currently in the enterprise environment 90% of applications are web or hybrid Cut Expenses ● Hybrid cross-platform solutions like Phonegap or RhoMobile allow to reduce development cost in three and more times ● It’s possible to involve existing web developers ● Existing web applications code reuse ● App code portability between development platforms What exactly is “RhoMobile” ● The set of development tools for creating data-centric, cross-platform, native mobile consumer and enterprise applications ● It allows developers to build native mobile apps using web technologies, such as CSS3, HTML5, JavaScript and Ruby ? ● With RhoMobile you can track offline changes on mobile clients and synchronize with a corporate backend ● It dynamically updates application UI when backend data changes RhoMobile Suite ● RhoStudio allows development, debugging and testing of cross-platform enterprise apps with single tool simplicity ● The foundation of RhoMobile Suite, Rhodes is an open-source cross-platform development framework for rapidly building native apps ● For access to built-in APIs for barcode scanning and RHOMOBILE SUITE RFID, support for the widest range of operating systems and more, developers can count on the value-added functionality of Tau Extensions ● Our integration server RhoConnect allows for fast, RHOSTUDIO RHODES TAU EXTENSIONS RHOCONNECT simple synchronization with backend business data DEVELOP INTEGRATE and synchronization for offline use What’s a RhoMobile Application? •Front-end side – HTML page – CSS Style Sheet – JavaScript code A hybrid mobile application is a mobile application that •Back-end side runs inside of a native container and leverages the – Ruby device’s web browser to display locally hosted HTML pages. Hybrid mobile apps are composed mostly of – SQLite Database HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

Satz: PDF-LATEX 2ε Zusammenfassung Möchte man eine mobile Applikation für ein mobiles Betriebssystem entwickeln, so programmiert und kompiliert man diese mit dem jeweiligen SDK der Plattform und hinterlegt sie dann in dem jeweiligen App Store. Um sich den Aufwand der mehrfachen Entwicklung für die unterschiedlichen Plattformen zu sparen, entwickelt man eine Cross- Plattform-Anwendung, also eine Anwendung, die unabhängig vom Betriebssystem des mobilen Endgerätes ist. Dafür gibt es inzwischen verschiedene Frameworks, die diese Entwicklungsmöglichkeit unterstützen. Einige davon werden in dieser Arbeit vorgestellt. Diese Arbeit behandelt die Entwicklung einer plattformunabhängigen Applikation für mobile Endgeräte anhand eines solchen Frameworks. Als Anwendungszenario wurde eine Tourismus-Applikation gewählt, welche als Client Informationen wie Nachrichten, Veranstaltungen, Bürgermeldungen und Sehenswürdigkeiten abruft und auf dem mo- bilen Endgerät des Nutzers darstellt.
