AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool

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 PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET or PowerServer Configuration Guide for J2EE.

Below is comparison of Appeon Resize APIs (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 APIs 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 APIs 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 APIs 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 APIs does not.

  • Performance

    For windows with many controls, AEM Mobile UI Resizing tool delivers better performance than Appeon Resize APIs.
