Mobile Development Kit Client 25.9.0

New Features and Enhancements Mobile Development Kit Client 25.9.0

Enhanced Calendar with Date Range Selection

  • We have introduced new Calendar features that offers a comprehensive view. You can select a single date or a date range and navigate through weeks and months seamlessly. These features are ideal if you need to plan events or manage schedules over extended periods. They provide flexibility and customization in date selection and navigation.
Calendar Section
  • The calendar section provides a visual overview of a week, a month, or multiple months. The calendar section consists of three parts: header, weekday label, and dates.
  • The header displays the current month or selected date information if a date is selected. For Android, there are components on the right side (not applicable for DateRange type): a back-to-today button (small calendar icon) allows you to return to the current month or week by tapping the button. Left and right arrow buttons enable navigation between months or weeks.
Weekday Label
  • A one-letter label shows the weekday as the column header of the calendar. StartDayOfWeek customizes the start day of the week to either Sunday, Saturday, or Monday. The default is Sunday.
Dates
  • Depending on the CalendarType defined, the calendar presents different views:
Month
  • Displays the calendar in month view. Only single date selection is applicable.
Week
  • Displays the calendar in week view. Only single date selection is applicable.
Expandable
  • Displays the calendar in either week or month view. A dragging handle allows you to expand from week view to month view by swiping down. You can collapse from month view to week view by swiping up. Only single date selection is applicable.
DateRange
  • Displays the calendar similar to month view but allows more than one month to be displayed. You may scroll vertically through the calendar months. Use this type to allow range selection. The first date selected is the start date of the range, and when a second date is selected, it becomes the end date of the range, with the entire range of dates between the start and end dates (inclusive) being selected. To modify the set of selected dates on iOS, click on a selected date within the range, and it becomes the new end date, with all later dates deselected. To deselect the entire range, click outside the range, anywhere in the calendar view. For Android, any click on a date within or outside the selected range results in deactivating the existing range. The end date of the range must be later than the start date. If you click on a date earlier than the start date, the newly selected date becomes the start date, and the original start date is deselected. Specifically for DateRange type, in multi-section scenarios, the calendar displays with default height (600 for Android and 450 for iOS), while in single-section scenarios, the calendar displays in full screen. You may customize the height of the calendar by specifying the Height property in the metadata definition for both single and multi-section scenarios.
  • To navigate between months or weeks in sequence, use left and right arrow buttons for Android, and scroll for iOS.
Selection
  • The selected date is displayed based on today's date by default. You can customize it through metadata definition or Client API. You may change the selected date by tapping the desired date. For DateRange type, you need to select two dates to form a valid range. IsPersistentSelection is a flag that determines the behavior of the selection. When set to true (the default), the selected date is retained even when you navigate to other months. If the flag is set to false, when you navigate to another month, the first day of the displayed month is shown as selected. IsPersistentSelection is not applicable for DateRange type and defaults to true.
Calendar Limit

There is a limit to the months you can navigate. The calendar is limited with a start date and end date. The start date defaults to January 1st of two years prior to the initially selected date. The end date defaults to December 31st of two years following the initially selected date. You may customize the limit by defining StartDate and EndDate on metadata definition.

Calendar Indicators

  • You can now use new Calendar Indicators to identify special events or statuses directly on the calendar. This feature helps you quickly spot important dates and plan effectively. The indicators have customizable appearances and can be dynamically assigned based on metadata or runtime data. This provides an efficient way to manage and view calendar events.

The enhancement includes:

  • Support for displaying one or more indicators on specific calendar days.
  • Customizable indicator appearance and legend.
  • Static and dynamic assignment of indicators based on metadata or runtime data.

How it works for static indicators:

  • Indicators are defined in the metadata under the Indicators property. This specifies the icon, title, style, and a unique name.
  • Events are mapped to dates using the Events property, referencing the indicator by name.
  • When the visible date range changes, such as when you scroll to a new month or week, the app updates the indicators shown for the currently visible dates.

How it works for dynamic indicators:

  • The Event.IndicatorName property points to a rule that returns the indicator name for each event based on your logic.
  • The Targets array defines the data source and which properties to use for event dates.
  • The calendar calls your rule for each event to determine which indicator to display dynamically.

For more information refer to the Calendar topic.

Customizable Mandatory Fields Indicator for Form Cells

  • The Mandatory Fields Indicator visually marks required form cells without enforcing completion, enhancing user awareness. Customization options allow for personalized indicators and styling, making it a versatile tool for improving form usability and clarity.

  • The default indicator is a red asterisk (*) placed at the end of the Caption. You can customize the indicator with a different character in the metadata using the RequiredIndicator property. You can use only one character for customization. If you define more than one character, the system defaults to the asterisk.

  • The form cells that support this feature include:

  • Attachment Form Cell

  • DatePicker Form Cell
  • DurationPicker Form Cell
  • InlineSignatureCapture Form Cell
  • ListPicker Form Cell
  • Note Form Cell
  • SignatureCapture Form Cell

  • SimpleProperty Form Cell

  • You can implement a custom style for the indicator in the Styles property using the name RequiredIndicator. Style Classes support this feature, and you can set the indicator color through the font-color or color property.

Maximum Attachment Limit Feature for Attachment Form Cell

  • The maximum attachment limit feature allows users to set a maximum number of attachments in a form cell, enhancing control over file uploads. This feature is useful for managing data efficiently and preventing excessive file uploads, ensuring streamlined and organized attachment handling.

  • This feature allows you to set a limit on the number of attachments you can upload to the attachment form cell. The limit is enforced by deactivating the add button of the attachment form cell once the limit is reached. If this property is not set, or if the value is zero or less, no limit is applied by default.

  • On iOS, the limit is applied to the native file picker, which stops further selection once the limit is reached.

  • On Android, the native file picker does not support limiting file selection. Therefore, users can select as many files as they want, but only the first M attachments are chosen after confirmation, where M is the maximum attachment limit, if any.

  • In the metadata, you set the value of the MaxAttachments property in the attachment form cell as follows:

"MaxAttachments": 4
  • To set or retrieve the value through a rule, use setMaxAttachments() and getMaxAttachments().
attachment.setMaxAttachments(4);
maxAttachments = attachment.getMaxAttachments();

Enhanced Text Properties for Timeline Cell

  • With this release, the "StatusText", "SubstatusText", and "Subattribute" properties provide additional annotation capabilities for TimelineCell, enhancing the clarity and detail of timeline events. These properties allow users to easily distinguish and understand the status and substatus of events, improving the overall user experience in timeline navigation.

  • "StatusText", "SubstatusText", and "Subattribute" are additional text properties that you can annotate on a specified TimelineCell. These attributes appear on the right side of the timeline cell. "StatusText" appears at the top, followed by "SubstatusText", and "Subattribute" at the bottom. Note their positions on the TimelineView Page

  • In the metadata, set the "StatusText", "SubstatusText", and "Subattribute" properties in the TimelineCell Control as follows:

"StatusText": "Status1", "SubstatusText": "Status2",
"Subattribute": "Subattribute"

Read-only State for Attachment Form Cell

  • We've introduced a feature that allows you to deactivate the ability to add or remove attachments from an attachment form cell. It does this by removing the add button from the form cell and the remove button from each attachment entry.

  • In the metadata, you can toggle this by setting the "IsEditable" property with a boolean. The default is true:

"IsEditable": true

To set or get the value through a rule, call setEditable() and getEditable() as you would with most form cells.

formcell.setEditable(true)

editable = formcell.getEditable()

Attachment File Size Limit

  • With this release, you can set the attachment file size limit using the MaxFileSize property. This property defines the maximum file size in megabytes for each attachment you add to the form. If you do not specify a limit or set it to zero or less, there is no restriction.

  • Type: number

New Supported Features for Android Only

  • You can now view password-protected PDF files in a Native file viewer.

  • If you use a Section Extension control for your custom extension implementation and if the height of the extension area cannot display the full content, you can use the new IsScrollable property.

  • Type: boolean

  • Default: false
