Hi Everyone,

Eventually I would like to develop my companion mobile app with FireMonkey, but for now I am planning on using EWB. It'll work with my EWB web app.

Does anyone have any advice for creating a mobile app with EWB. Are there any things you need to take care of (specific to it being a mobile app instead of a web app)?

What form resolution do you generally start with?

I am planning on using Cordova (or something similar) once it's finished. Is there anything that needs to be taken into consideration for that?

The mobile app is really quite simple. Just a few data screens, mostly reading data, with a couple of screens where the user can make requests to their company they work at.

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

When I did a mobile app in EWB, it was fairly straightforward. The things that got me were Android's input events not working for some purposes, so I had to use timers to detect changes. That may have changed now, but nothing was insurmountable.

So I say go for it, and see where you get to.

Thanks Matthew.

Is there anything in EWB that helps with the different resolutions on the phone screens? If I make sure the screens work nicely with 720 screens, will everything look really small with a 1080 screen? Or worse, 3040x1440 on my Galaxy S10.

Cheers guys,
Paul

Only the responsive layout and a bit of code. IIRC I had some things that were switched in or out depending on available space. But start small and it should scale up.
