Overview of this book

The four Rhomobile products – Rhodes, Rhosync, RhoHub, and Rhogallery – provide a complete toolkit for creating a mobile application. Rhomobile is cross-platform and so allows you to build your application for many different types of smartphone – including iPhone and Blackberry – just with a single codebase. This makes it the most preferred and quickest way of developing mobile apps. As you create a native Rhomobile application, you can use the built-in device features such as GPS, Push, and Camera, all with offline capabilities.Rhomobile Beginner's Guide is filled with practical examples to help you to create a mobile application from scratch. You can choose on which operating system to build, as well as for which smartphone to develop your application, giving you the freedom to create a customized mobile application quickly and easily.Once you have learned how to install Rhomobile on Windows, Mac, or Linux, you will create a simple application, which will be used to explore the products of Rhomobile one by one. Things really get going when you write unit test cases for your application before deploying it to the server and making builds for your chosen Smartphone. You will learn about the different aspects of Rhomobile, starting with Rhodes 3, which helps you to build a native mobile application. Rhosync 2.1 carries out the offline device capabilities and RhoHub deploys the code on the server and creates a build for the different smartphones.

RhoGallery


RhoGallery is the first hosted mobile app management solution. It allows administrators to manage apps exposed to their employees, making it easy for them to get mobile apps onto their devices. It gives users a single place to launch all of their important enterprise apps. RhoGallery lets you manage collections of apps (whether or not they are Rhodes apps) as "galleries" which you can then invite users and groups of users to access. Users then automatically have the appropriate apps downloaded to their device. New apps and updates are pushed to users and you can de-provision them as well. RhoGallery is the first hosted mobile app management solution.

Key features of RhoGallery:

  • Administrator management of exposed apps, end consumers, and groups of consumers

  • Central launchpad for exposed apps (coming soon)

  • Automatic provisioning of exposed apps for end consumers

Now, we will create a gallery for an employee application.
