ADF Mobile - In the Dojo!
By Jeff Davies-Oracle on Apr 11, 2014
The other day I heard someone say that Mobile Suite couldn’t do Dojo. This didn’t make sense to me since Dojo is a HTML5 technology and Mobile Suite supports HTML5 natively. So I thought I put together a small proof-of-concept project to show how easy it is to create a Dojo project in a local HTML page.
I began by creating a new ADF Mobile project in JDeveloper. Then I added a single Local HTML feature to the admf-features.xml file (in the View Controller/Application Sources/META-INF folder).
After that is defined, I open the dojoExample.html file that I created when I added the Local HTML feature and replace the default HTML with the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<!-- application stylesheet will go here -->
<!-- dynamically apply native visual theme according to the browser user agent -->
<script type="text/freezescript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.9.2/dojox/mobile/deviceTheme.js"></script>
<!-- dojo configuration options -->
<script type="text/freezescript">

async: true,
parseOnLoad: false
};
</script>
<!-- dojo bootstrap -->

<!-- dojo application code -->
<script type="text/freezescript">
require([
"dojox/mobile/parser",
"dojox/mobile/compat",
"dojo/domReady!",
"dojox/mobile/View",
"dojox/mobile/Heading",
"dojox/mobile/RoundRectList",
"dojox/mobile/ListItem",
"dojox/mobile/Switch"
], function (parser) {
// now parse the page for widgets
parser.parse();
});
</script>
</head>
<body style="visibility:hidden;">
<!-- the view or "page"; select it as the "home" screen -->
<div id="settings" data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/View" data-dojo-props="selected:true">
<!-- a sample heading -->
<h1 data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/Heading">ADF Mobile Dojo!</h1>
<!-- a rounded rectangle list container -->
<ul data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/RoundRectList">
<!-- list item with an icon containing a switch -->
<li data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/ListItem" data-dojo-props="icon: 'images/ic-Airline-red48.png'">Airplane Mode
<!-- the switch -->
<div data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/Switch"></div>
</li>
<!-- list item with an icon that slides this view away and then loads another page -->
<li data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/ListItem" data-dojo-props="icon: 'images/ic_wireless.png', rightText:'mac'">Wi-Fi</li>
<!-- list item with an icon that slides to a view called "general" -->
<li data-dojo-type="dojox/mobile/ListItem" data-dojo-props="icon: 'images/ic_crm.png', rightText:'AcmePhone'">Carrier</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now compile and deploy to the emulator or device of your choice as usual. The result is exactly what you would expect:
As you can see it is pretty straight-forward. In my next installment I'll be showing you how to call ADF Mobile interfaces from within the Dojo page.
