AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool allows the user to specify the screen size of different mobile devices and define the resizing rules accordingly. Once set, it enables the window and all controls (except for controls in DataWindow objects) as well as fonts within the window to proportionally scale up or down to fit with the mobile screen. For detailed instructions, refer to the section called “Mobile UI Resizing” in Appeon Server Configuration Guide for .NET or Appeon Server Configuration Guide for J2EE.
Below is comparison of Appeon Resize PBL (recommended) and AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool:
-
UI effect
AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool resizes all controls despite the actual needs. Some controls may look ugly after resized. Appeon Resize PBL divides the controls into resizable controls and unresizable controls, according to some advanced UI layout tools such as Java Swing, so it produces better UI effect.
-
Control and font resize
AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool will resize all controls (except for controls in DataWindow objects) as well as fonts. Appeon Resize PBL will resize the resizable controls only. The unresizable controls will not change the size. Fonts will not be resized either.
-
Code change
AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool requires no code change. Appeon Resize PBL requires users to write a few lines of script in the target window. If there are many windows and the window is not inherited, then you would need to write scripts in every window.
-
Configuration
AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool requires the user to specify the screen size of each mobile device and define the resizing rules accordingly, while Appeon Resize PBL does not.
-
Performance
For windows with many controls, AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool delivers better performance than Appeon Resize PBL.
