Success Factors

• Inspect the Track

• Control the Torque

• Practice for a Good Reaction Time

• Winning ETA

Get into Your Mobile Development Lane

Plan. Prepare. Work Harder. Protect.

In racing, drivers are looking for good

traction, a .500 or better reaction time, a clean

run & a winning ETA.

In racing there are risks and pitfalls.

Success is measured by how well the

driver can control known variables.

• Don’t Beat Yourself

• Red light

• Spin the tires

• Lift the tires on the line

• Don’t Crash

• Don’t Catch fire

• Don’t Break

Building Mobile Apps is like Drag Racing

Highlight Oracle Mobile UX

I’m putting you in the driver seat with hands-on experience

on the 4 physical devices; IOS iPhone, IOS iPad, Android

Galaxy, Android Tablet. On these devices you have a

unique opportunity to experience how the MAF app

handles device features(like camera/ contacts), what the UX

engagement feels like & performance factors.

Risks with MAF

• Performance is good- but could improve even more:

(MAF apps are running a lightweight JVM layer).

– Tip for Help: manage visual /interaction assets

• UX engagement could be smoother, more fluid.

– Tip for Help: Checkout the Oracle’s new touch

gestures & use CSS to present the best UI possible.

• The MAF development stack seems to be under

utilized.

– Tip for Help: engage in the OTN community and the

discussion online. Keep pushing the limits of this dev

stack!

Risks with MAF

12

• A note about Mobile App Development: Mobile

development teams must keep an active, running

test cycle /development cycle going because of the

nature of mobile apps. This is a rapidly evolving

space. Stay focused to keep pace with frequent

device changes. For example, when Apple changes

their minimum IOS requirement your Oracle Mobile

code set needs to be re-tested to vet changes are

both backward & forward compatible.

– GOOD NEWS! Apple is pretty communicative-

changes are usually announced weeks in advance.

MAF Tips & Tricks

• Today’s Tip “Run your IOS app in Xcode to Debug”

If your new to MAF development it is helpful to know log

statements are visible in Xcode.

Step 1: Build log statements into business logic

Step 2: Update debug level to FINEST

Step 3: Deploy the app to IOS

Step 4: open the app in XCODE by invoking

app root/deploy/IOS/temporary_xcode_project/*.xcodeproj

Step 5: Inside xcode, turn ON the console log & debug window

Step 6: Engage the app & view log statements in the console log
