Welcome Screen

FUIWelcomeScreen

open class FUIWelcomeScreen: FUIWelcomeController, UITextFieldDelegate, FUIBlurNavigationBarViewController

This UIViewController is used to display a welcome/launch screen to the application for onboarding. The screen mainly displays the application name, instructions on how to start the activation process and an option to trigger the demo mode of the application.

Application can implement the FUIWelcomeControllerDelegate protocol, to present the demo mode of the application by adopting with the didSelectDemoMode(_:) function, to proceed sign in by implementing the shouldContinueUserOnboarding(_:) function, to proceed configuration based on the configuration options by implementing the welcomeController(_:willNavigateToActivationScreen:), welcomeController(_:shouldTryUserEmail:), or welcomeController(_:willNavigateToScannerScreen:) functions.

FUIWelcomeScreen is implemented in FUIWelcomeScreen.storyboard. There are two ways to launch the screen:

• Use another story board and use a Present Modally segue to FUIWelcomeScreen storyboard in SAPFiori framework with com.sap.cp.sdk.ios.SAPFiori as Bundle. App programmer needs to provide the properties needed in UIController's prepare for segue function:

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let vc = segue.destination as! FUIWelcomeScreen
vc.state = .isConfigured
vc.detailLabel.text = "Thank you for downloading SAP Project Companion for Managers."
vc.delegate = self
}

• Programmatically loads it:

let vc = FUIWelcomeScreen.createInstanceFromStoryboard()
vc.state = .isConfigured
vc.detailLabel.text = "Thank you for downloading SAP Project Companion for Managers."
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

Settings for possible welcome screens being launched:

• Launch with Standard: Application contains the necessary configurations to connect to mobile services, and should prompt user to Start.
  -- state property: .isConfigured -- configurationOptions property: not required. Value would be ignored. -- delegate function(s) to be implemented: shouldContinueUserOnboarding(_:), didSelectDemoMode(_:) if isDemoAvailable is true.

• Welcome Screen Launched with Link: Application has not been configured, and does not use FUIWelcomeScreen flow to obtain configuration. -- state property: .notConfigured -- configurationOptions property: empty value -- delegate function(s) to be implemented: didSelectDemoMode(_:) if isDemoAvailable is true

• Welcome Screen Launched with Discovery Service: Application has not been configured, and should prompt the end user for their email address. -- state property: .notConfigured -- configurationOptions property: .discoveryService -- delegate function(s) to be implemented: welcomeController(_:shouldTryUserEmail:), didSelectDemoMode(_:) if isDemoAvailable is true

• Welcome Screen Launched with Scanner: Application has not been configured, and should prompt the end user to launch the Barcode Scanner to obtain connection settings. -- state property: .notConfigured -- configurationOptions property: .barcodeScanner -- delegate function(s) to be implemented: welcomeController(_:willNavigateToScannerScreen:), didSelectDemoMode(_:) if isDemoAvailable is true

• Welcome Screen Launched with Activation: Application has not been configured, and should prompt the end user to pick between email address entry, or the Barcode Scanner, to obtain connection settings. -- state property: .notConfigured -- configurationOptions property: [.discoveryService, .barcodeScanner] -- delegate function(s) to be implemented: welcomeController(_:willNavigateToActivationScreen:), didSelectDemoMode(_:) if isDemoAvailable is true

Note that the FUIWelcomeScreen is supported for iPad portrait and landscape orientation and iPhone portrait orientation only. Since the screen is not supported in iPhone landscape orientation, the app needs to switch to portrait mode before presenting the screen. And AppDelegate needs to lock the screen orientation when these screens are shown, similar to the following code snippet.

In app's AppDelegate:

public var inFUIWelcomeScreen: Bool = false

// implement this function to support only portrait orientation when FUIWelcomeScreen is displayed in iPhone.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
   if !inFUIWelcomeScreen {
       return .allButUpsideDown
   } else {
       return .portrait
   }
}

Before presenting the FUIWelcomeScreen:

// Let `AppDelegate` know that we are entering the screen
(UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).inFUIWelcomeScreen = true

// Make sure we rotate to portrait mode
let value = UIInterfaceOrientation.portrait.rawValue
UIDevice.current.setValue(value, forKey: "orientation")

// Present the screen
let vc = FUIWelcomeScreen.createInstanceFromStoryboard()
vc.detailLabel.text = "Thank you for downloading SAP Project Companion for Managers."
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

After dismissing the Passcode or Touch ID screen:

onboardingScreen.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)

// Let AppDelegate know that we are exiting the view
(UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).inFUIWelcomeScreen = false

Attention

• The delegate object with type FUIWelcomeControllerDelegate is declared as a weak reference. On deallocation it will be automatically set to nil. To keep it alive as expected, developer should retain the delegate object during its whole execution scope.

• Developer can replace the logo image in the FUIWelcomeScreen using theming nss file. For example:

fdlFUIWelcomeScreen_logoImageView {
   image-name: MyCompanyLogo.png;
}

Or, developer could use the logoImageView property to set the logo image directly.
