Hidden mobile Support in Oracle APEX 4.1

Mark Sewtz just revealed a secret: Oracle APEX already contains more support for mobile Applications as expected.

I had to try it out and see what’s new.

What i have found is 2 places where you can choose between desktop and mobile browser and one place where you can enter mobile defaults.

 

Edit Theme now has a section to enter the template defaults for mobile.

Edit Page Template let’s you choose between desktop and mobile browser.

Create Page Wizard lets you choose if you want to create a page for desktop or for mobile browser.

All these settings don’t have a functional impact on your application. I just helps you to choose the right options.

With Oracle APEX 4.2, when mobile support is fully enabled, i expect to see more things like this as well as an impact on functionality. For example loading the jQuery mobile libraries or switching between Flash- and HTML5-Charts.

  1. Hi.

    Which version are we talking about here …?

    I have 4.1.1.00.23 installed and see no mobile support…

    I’m quite new to Apex, “Edit Theme now has a section to enter the template defaults for mobile” How do i get there…?

  2. Hi Luis,

    this is already advanced programming of Oracle APEX.

    I think a good starting point to learn APEX and understand the concepts are the Tutorials provided by Oracle. For example the “2-Day Developers Guide”
