Creating Apps¶
The Mobile Development Kit extension for Visual Studio Code allows you to create new Mobile Development Kit metadata app definitions (action, CIM, global variable, i18n, page, rule, service, or style) by using the command palette or the context menu on the Visual Studio Code editor.
Creating a New Mobile Development Kit Metadata Project From Template¶
- In the Visual Studio Code editor workspace, open an Mobile Development Kit application folder and click
View
>Command Palette
. - From the command palette, choose
MDK: New Application
. - In the opened dialog box, browse the target folder to choose the newly created application. When you specify the new application name, a numbered index is appended automatically if the named application already exists.
Results¶
A new empty Mobile Development Kit application is created based on an embedded empty application template. If the target folder is within the current workspace, the newly created Application.app file is opened automatically. If not, then the current workspace is switched to the new application folder.
The Mobile Development Kit Extension supports creating app definitions via the context menu of workspace explorer and the command palette.
