Dynamic AI Support Forum

Hi Everyone,

I know Dynamic AI works fine through an iPhone, has anyone had any experience using it on an Android phone?

The mobile part of Dynamic AI is just done via the browser isn't it, not an actual iPhone Application?

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Dynamic AI is working well on Android - at least on the emulator from the SDK.
We built a lighter navigation for the iPhone - on an android (and windows mobile and others) will display the regular interface at the moment.

If you have the personal edition, there is really no way you can try this, as this single user edition can only run from the computer on which is installed, or from an iPhone.

But we'd be happy to let you try a server edition for a while and see if it works on Android for you.

Best regards

Bo

Thanks Bo, we have a license here I can test on, and I've just grabbed the Android SDK and emulator so I'll see how it goes...

Just on that, I had a quick peek and you're right, it just shows the standard web interface. Is there anything prohibitive about the iPhone interface preventing it from being used in Android (or any other touch based mobile browser I guess). Or is the iPhone interface a little to tied in with the resolution/features of the iPhone?

When we detect that client is an iPhone, we build the

login screen
report navigation menus
single record display (forms)

using iPhone-like styles.

If you can fake the User agent string in Android to include the string "iPod" or "iPhone", Dynamic AI will build the output as if for iPod/iPhone
( I don't know how to do this though - I did this by altering the aser agent string in the debugger.)
- it actually looks fairly good on the android emulator:
