Same application for Ipad & Web both

Hi All,

Can i have the same application which can be used for the mobile(ipad) & web platform both? Is there any issue/complication?

What should i do if i want to have my application on both the platforms? Should i develop two apps- one for ipad and the other one for web ?

Really confused.

Thanks

Arun

Hi,

Instead of creating two separate application create one application only. Suppose you have total 10 sheets and you want to show 5 sheets on I pad and 5 on web then you can use following code for identification of the client platform:

Go to sheet properties->conditional->Write below code

=if(Right(ClientPlatform(),6)='mobile',0,1)  ----------to show on Web

=if(Right(ClientPlatform(),6)='mobile',1,0)  ----------to show on Mobile

Regards

Thanks Sagar for the Reply. Innovative idea actually.

But for the mobile ones, i will have to set the resolution which is good for ipad and for web ones the resolution will be different.

Am i right?

Thanks

Please refer below:

Limited Screen Space

Because of the limited real estate, it’s important to decide which UI objects should be placed on any given sheet and ensure that it is really necessary that they are there.

Build to native iPad resolution – 980px width

Even though an iPad screen size is 1024 x 768 pixels, its native resolution is slightly smaller than that. It is recommended that QlikView applications are designed for

980 x 590 with a tab row, and 980 x 610 without a tab row.

It is, of course, possible to build an application that is standard to a desktop browser, (1024 x 768, minus a navigation bar and tab rows), however it’s important to consider the navigation bar and tab row that will take up more height than a regular AJAX client on a desktop browser because of the larger icons used on the iPad.

If an application is designed for 1024px width, then the iPad will resize to fit to the screen to its width. Therefore, if zooming works with a design, it may not be necessary to create a separate design for the iPad. In this case, best practices suggest to not place an object that would shrink the height (i.e. size to data) such as a table chart,

at the bottom ofany given QlikView sheet.

Depending on either portrait or landscape, you may consider how to utilize the space and test carefully with height or width of the resolution.
