4D for Mobile: Use Object Attributes
As of now, you can use almost all types of attributes in your mobile projects: text, dates, time, integers… 4D v19 R4 is bringing another one.
Say hello to object attributes.
4D for Mobile: Build Great Mobile Apps Using Computed Attributes
As you probably know, computed attributes are available starting from 4D v19 R3. A blog post is available that presents this great new feature.
As we always propose the best and complete user experience to our mobile app developers, computed attributes are compatible with all your iOS and Android projects.
4D for iOS: Sort criteria and action parameters enhancements
4D for iOS gives you the ability to define actions that automatically call a 4D method linked with an event on the smartphone. For example, using them, you can execute 4D code, manage and edit your app’s content using parameters, and, more recently, sort your app’s content easily using sort actions!
Defining sort criteria and action parameters has been improved to make things easier and help you work more quickly and efficiently.
4D for iOS: Easily interact with Apple Native apps
With 4D for iOS, we are always thinking about mobile-friendly features. The primary purpose is to help developers provide the best user experience for their mobile applications. And that’s why, with 4D v19 R3, we’re shipping action input controls.
4D for iOS: Custom Input Controls
Until now, custom formatters allowed you to match text or images to the contents of a field, such as replacing true/false with an image or 1, 2 with text labels. 4D v19 R3 allows you to create action input controls available from actions forms, such as creating a choice list with predefined text. And even better, this list can be dynamically filled using a datasource such as a list of employers. Let’s delve into the details!
4D for iOS: Sort the Contents of a List Form
Several predefined actions that help your app users manage their content were already available in the Action section: “Add,” “Edit,” “Delete,” and “Share”. 4D v19 R2 introduces a new one, and you’re going to like it! You can now create Sort actions to sort local app data.
4D for Mobile: Custom Data Formatters for Light & Dark Appearances
For some time, you’ve been able to create your own custom data formatters and convert strings, booleans, or integers to images in your generated app.
This new 4D v19 R2 feature will allow you to take full advantage of those formatters for iOS and Android, and make sure images look good in both light and dark appearances.
Let’s see how!
4D for Mobile: Colorize your apps without a struggle
Our mobile products (4D for iOS and 4D for Android) were both built with simplicity in mind, allowing you to build apps easily, in a few clicks.
That also includes a crucial step: choosing a main color for the app. That’s why, since the introduction of 4D for iOS, the main color of your mobile application was defined by the dominant color of your application’s logo.
With 4D v19 R2, we’re giving you a feature that lets you easily define the main color of your iOS and Android app, by selecting it from a color picker fully integrated into the project editor.
Here’s how:
4D for iOS: Update pending tasks that got rejected
For a few weeks, you’ve been able to use the offline action feature, and we’ve already obtained great feedback about it.
As we’re constantly improving the product’s features set, application users can edit and retry sending pending tasks that failed due to server validation. Let’s see how it works.
4D for iOS: Sign In With QR Code
As app users, we don’t pay much attention to the sophisticated authentication technologies that secure our applications. But they are essential to help prevent malicious people from usurping our identity. That’s why the authentication process that is included in 4D for iOS is so important to us. But many 4D for iOS users have been asking for more, and specifically, for new modern ways to login.
The new SignInWithQRCode login form template lets users log into their apps by scanning QRCode, and grants access directly to already authenticated users.
