In this blog post, I will briefly describe two highly requested Mobile UI features in XAF v18.1. They should help you better organize large data amounts on a mobile screen.
Extended Mobile Detail View Layout
This layout is based on the dxForm and dxAccordion widgets from our DevExtreme library. With these widgets, you can design one layout that adapts to different screen sizes. Open your application on a tablet - the layout automatically divides Detail View content into two or more columns.
Your layout has many groups? Display them as tabs or make these groups collapsible not to waste the space.
Enable this feature by setting MobileApplication.EnableExtendedDetailViewLayout to true. Learn more in the Mobile Detail View Layout article.
How to Hide/Show Navigation Control on a Tablet
Choose which tablet layout is more convenient for your clients using the MobileApplication.TabletLayoutType property.
Split - when the navigation control always sticks to the left.
SlideOut - when end-users can collapse or expand the navigation control using the 'hamburger' button.
Your feedback counts
We would love your thoughts on these features and would love to learn more about customizations you've made to XAF Mobile UI.
