Presentation

We will learn how to develop mobile applications for Android and Apple with GeneXus, including apps that require connectivity to work and apps that can work disconnected.

It shows how to follow platform guidelines, the conceptual model that underlies these applications, architecture, UI (User Interface) design, and ways to achieve a good UX (User Experience). In addition, it discusses ways to program behavior, ways to prototype, how to add security, etc.

Although it is advisable to watch the videos in order, they can be viewed separately since it is not essential to watch the previous videos to understand a video and be able to keep track of the topic, as they are self-contained. After watching the videos, you can work on practice exercises associated with the course to test what you have studied.

Materials

Below you can download a PDF file with the Practical exercises and an XPZ file that contains the necessary objects to start doing them.

Bonus Material

To take the course and work on the exercises you need the trial version of GeneXus.
 
GeneXus Trial     Guide: ”Installation and first run of GeneXus Trial”  
Guide: ”Installing and first running the Android SDK"  


Note:
The trial version of GeneXus will automatically install, among other things, the Android SDK. If you already have a full version of GeneXus, you will have to install it manually. Additionally, we suggest that you use the SDK emulator to benefit from the advantages of hardware acceleration in your computer. Learn more about this topic by accessing this wiki link. 
When using the emulator, make sure that it is open before the first Run. You don’t need to close it and open it every time, just leave it open while you prototype.
