New and enhanced features available with the Mobile Development Kit Client 24.7

New UI Controls

Fiori Card Collection

We have introduced a new UI element called the CardCollection section. This feature is essentially a collection of cards that offers concise, related information, serving as a gateway to detailed content. The card system provides enhanced customization and flexibility, including adaptable sizing options to accommodate various form factors and layouts, such as horizontal scroll, vertical list, or masonry layouts. For more information, refer to this document.

Enhancements

Select Multiple Attachments

Attachment FormCell has been enhanced to allow users to select multiple files at once. This enhancement applies to both iOS and Android platforms.

Support Column-Specific Editing

We are introducing a new value called None for the EditType property of the DataTable control. Columns with this EditType will be non-editable. But you can use a rule to programmatically allow edits for specific cells in the table.

With this release, we have introduced two new styling properties for BannerMessage and ProgressBanner Action – Styles and Semantic. Semantic can be used to apply semantic colors to the banner, while Styles can be used to customize the banner end-to-end. Users can also style the different states (Progress/Completion) of the ProgressBanner individually. This enhancement is only available on iOS and Android.

Note

The default style for BannerMessage has been updated: iOS: Text and stripe color has been updated to gray. Android: Text color has been updated to gray.

Background-Color Styling for Images and Icons

With this release, we support background-color styling option for images and icons in the following Mobile Development Kit controls:

Caption Support for Note FormCell Control

Note FormCell control has been enhanced to support caption and its associated styling options. For more information, refer to this document.

Multi-Column Grid Layout in a Form Cell Section

The Form Cell Section has been enhanced to allow form cells to be used in a collection view, presenting them in a multi-column layout. Unlike other sections, the form section only supports a vertical layout. To customize the UI layout, we have introduced two new properties NumberOfColumns and MinimumInteritemSpacing. For more information, refer to this document.

New Proxy Classes

We have introduced the following proxy classes for Button Table, Section Header, and Section Footer:

The above-mentioned classes support the following methods:

  • getName()
  • getType()
  • redraw()
  • getParent()

Note

The SectionProxy class, along with all proxy classes that extend the ControlProxy class, supports the getParent() method.

We have introduced the following APIs for SectionHeaderIconProxy and SectionHeaderLabelProxy:

  • getVisible()
  • setVisible()

We have introduced the following APIs for SectionHeaderButtonProxy:

  • getEnabled()
  • setEnabled()
  • getVisible()
  • setVisible()

Note

Using the new APIs setVisible() or setEnabled() will automatically trigger a section redraw to reflect the changes.

New Types

We have introduced the following types for Button Table, Section Header, and Section Footer:

  • SectionCommon.Type.Header
  • SectionCommon.Type.Footer
  • ButtonTable.Type.Button

Accessing Extension Control Instance

We have introduced a new API getExtension() in the new class ExtensionFormCellProxy that allows the users to access the extension control instance of the ExtensionFormCell.

getExtensions() API for SectionProxy:

  • Three new proxy classes - ExtensionSectionProxy, ObjectCollectionSectionProxy, and ObjectHeaderSectionProxy, have been introduced as subclasses of the existing SectionProxy.
  • ExtensionSectionProxy will include the getExtension() API, as the metadata definition allows for only one extension-based API.
  • ObjectCollectionSectionProxy and ObjectHeaderSectionProxy will include the getExtensions() API, as the extensions are defined as an array in the metadata definition. The existing API getExtensions() of SectionProxy will be deprecated, and when invoked, will return an empty array.

New APIs

ODataProviderProxy APIs

refreshMetadata() API for ODataProviderProxy

We have added a new API refreshMetadata() that checks the compatibility between the current metadata and the $metadata in the backend server. If there are no conflicts, the $metadata is updated automatically. This API returns a boolean value indicating whether the $metadata was updated successfully. Note that any $metadata changes happening in the backend server after initializing the data service for the first time will not be reflected unless the refreshMetadata() API is explicitly called.

Accessing OData Service Metadata Document ($metadata)

We have introduced a new API called getMetadata() for ODataProviderProxy. When invoked, this API will return a new CsdlDocumentProxy, through which the users can access the $metadata of both offline and online OData services on both iOS and Android. For more information on CSDLOptions, refer to this document.

This new proxy class provides the following APIs:

  • getOriginalText() - Returns the original $metadata content as XML strings.
  • getResolvedText() - Returns the resolved $metadata content as XML strings with inline references and expanded aliases.
  • getVersionCode() - Returns the OData service version as an integer after being multiplied by 100.
  • getVersionText() - Returns the OData service version as a string.
  • getCompactXML() - Returns the $metadata content as compact XML strings.

Client APIs For SectionedTableProxy

With this release, we are introducing two new client APIs getFilterActionResult() and getSorterActionResult() in SectionedTableProxy. These APIs are designed to resolve the OData query strings based on the FilterCriteria array applied to the current SectionedTable. OData query strings typically start with $filter= or $orderby=.
