Build your first iPhone App in five Minutes via XPages and iUI


We've published a mini framework to build your first webkit based app for smartphones via XPages and iUI in five minutes.

You can download the release from here and report defects and feature requests here.

In this video I show how to build an iPhone app for the OpenNTF XPages Wiki project in less than five minutes. The wiki is not the best sample (since it converts wiki markup to HTML) but it shows the base concepts.


iUI is a user interface framework for Safari development on iPhone. See here for more information:
- Introduction
- Overview
- Introduction video

The NSF comes with some sample documents and a sample XPage with this functionality: Display view entries, view paging via more button, open documents, no browser refresh/Ajax, page transition animations.

Also is that a viewer only interface or can you add records and upload data?

Gravatar Image2 - Thanks Simon. At this point this is a read only interface only. I'd like to extend it for write operations. In the best case someone from the community could do this and contribute it back or work with me together on this.

I cannot comment on the legal question.

Gravatar Image3 - Once again, awesome! Niklas, I'm curious - are you doing these on your own time or IBM's time? I hope it's the latter.

Gravatar Image6 - Niklas, do we need to install the iUI toolkit too?

If so, where would those files go?

thanks,

Howard

Gravatar Image7 - Howard, no. That's the nice thing about this project. I've imported all of them already. You just need to refer to them as we've done it in m.xsp. You can also run the iUI samples (open TestiUI.xsp).

Gravatar Image8 - Here not working, make the exactly example with wiki, and with other db, but still remain oldest data. What I'm missing?

Gravatar Image10 - I don't know about you, but my Nokia e63 mobile is a champ. Even their <a href="{ Link } online</a> support is great. I'll take my Nokia over an iPhone any day. As many blogs on { Link } say, there's a wealth of cool new phones out there. But if I want to change phone companies, no jailbreaking here, I just have to change the sim. Take that apple!!
