Chapter 3: Creating <strong>Mobile</strong> Services<br />

Getting started with <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> development<br />

The following sections describe how to get started with <strong>Mobile</strong> development:<br />

• Starting up Developer Studio for <strong>Mobile</strong> development<br />

• Configuring and managing <strong>OpenEdge</strong> servers from Developer Studio<br />

• Creating an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> project<br />

• Creating and testing a <strong>Mobile</strong> service<br />

Starting up Developer Studio for <strong>Mobile</strong> development<br />

When starting up <strong>Mobile</strong> development, you might want to begin with a review of the<br />

features you need and set some basic options.<br />

To start up Developer Studio for MObile development:<br />

1. Choose one of the items under Start→ Progress→ Developer Studio 3.7,<br />

preferably using a separate <strong>Mobile</strong> workspace if you already have other<br />

workspaces defined in Developer Studio.<br />

2. If this is your first time using Developer Studio:<br />

a. From the main menu, select Help→ Help Contents. The Help - Progress<br />

Developer Studio window appears.<br />

b. Open the Progress Developer Studio for <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Guide and begin with the<br />

“Getting Started” and “<strong>OpenEdge</strong> Projects” topics for basic information about<br />

using Developer Studio.<br />

c. Continue with the “<strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong>” topic for information on developing<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> applications.<br />

The present manual also refers to the online help for more detailed instructions on<br />

performing various tasks.<br />

3. If you plan to use the Progress <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> App Builder to build <strong>Mobile</strong><br />

Apps, follow the tasks in the online help for configuring the workspace for <strong>Mobile</strong>.<br />

These include (but might not be limited to):<br />

• Setting user credentials — You need to enter your Progress ID user<br />

credentials in Developer Studio the first time you use the <strong>Mobile</strong> App Builder,<br />

and again in the Progress ID login page each time <strong>Mobile</strong> App Builder starts<br />

up without a Progress ID login active in the Web browser.<br />

• Configuring an external Web browser — This browser runs the <strong>Mobile</strong> App<br />

Builder (after you log in using your Progress ID account) and must support<br />

HTML5.<br />

Note: Developer Studio does not support running the <strong>Mobile</strong> App Builder in<br />

an internal browser.<br />
