In recent posts, I talked about the Windows Mobile SDK for applications and how to change Windows programs to use. The problem is that I have not recently covered what is included in the SDK and where to download it from.
The link https://www.citrix.com/ downloads / xenapp / components / mobile-sdk-windows-for-apps # ctx-dl-eula.
The SDK can be installed on Windows 7, Windows 8 has been designed to make it easier for developers to build and test their applications before deploying them on either XenApp or XenDesktop.
Inside the SDK, there are several types of tools.
- samples
- Includes
- library
- Run-time
- Documentation
- Emulator
the most recent is the Emulator. When the emulator is active, the Windows environment will be able to support virtual entities that are usually only available when connected to a mobile device. This reduces the complexity of building and testing applications. The emulator simulates not only the mobile device, but also the server code that normally supports the application. Most of the time, the emulator is transparent. It being there is usually all you need.
Once the SDK is installed, the emulator will automatically run an application using the SDK for Windows Mobile Apps. This is very useful because the execution of the application ensures that the right environment is present. The emulator does not need to be changed to make things happen, but it has some features that make it very useful.
The two aspects that I use the most is to change the device type and change the orientation. device type of change allows different form factors. In my case, I usually pass between iPhone and Galaxy Tab 10.1. By making this switch between the execution of the application, I can try applying both phone and tablet layout. Regarding guidance, it is easy to test both the portrait and landscape. All that needs to happen push the direction you want. The application will change the size and layout on this basis.
In recent months, I work on the construction of a sample using WinForms. It became an exercise using our own software and tools. The emulator allowed me to do the most work on Windows 7. The iteration cycle was very fast and the results were immediate. It would have taken much more time to involve a mobile device and the server. The most impressive aspect was the way it was solid. It is a tool that enables faster development. This also means that it can be done without using a real mobile device.
Note that the SDK includes samples that could form the basis of a request. Under samples directory, the Demo.WPF and XaAdminMobile applications are worth looking at in detail. Demo.WPF covers all SDK features. XaAdminMobile is a real tool that can be used to manage users of XenApp. There is nothing wrong with taking these samples and change to what you need.
This is a quick summary of the SDK and hope there is something new for you. I recommend to download and give it a try. There is no cost, but you will need to have a connection Citrix Web site to obtain it. Good luck and thank you for your time.
