We’re in an industry where a handheld solution to do what we do is very in demand right now. (we’re in retail)
FileMaker Go’s launch has created a bunch of interest with our lingering FileMaker clients as they clamor for a handheld solution. (we are trying to avoid FileMaker development )
I realize how easy it is to deploy a Servoy solution via a web client, but as you can imagine, the end-user wants it to work through an iP%d app.
I know there was some talk that this might be available and that ServoyGuy might have something, but I’ve not seen anything since.
Anyone know something that might help us find a way to deploy a Servoy solution this way?
Lots of interest here for iPad. Webclient works fine, though not Smartclient of course. If there’s a lot of interest perhaps it could have it’s own topic in the forum.

We’ll be doing a webinar on this later this month . Check the servoy events page. We will also have a step-by-step video on servoyuniversity.com later this month.

Anything going on with this?
I have a client in the UK NHS (National Health Service) who I have a Smart client solution for and that they are having to use horrible Windows PC/Tablets (with swivel screens) as mobile devices and would love to be able to deploy iPads as a mobile device to use my solution
I’m almost tempted to look as FM Server (Advanced) with External Data source and FM Go for iPad, just to be able to access the SQL Server back-end, as web client I don’t think is a good option 8-(

Is it about a web-client for the iPhone/iPad or a way to convert Servoy solutions into native iPhone/iPad app? - Am I dreaming with this last one?

Can you elaborate on that? Web Client is easier to develop, richer UI, better security, better integration, real time data etc. on top if you want it to look like a native app just include a wrapper…

The main reason, which I know FM go can’t do either, is that part of my smart client solution is the use of Scott’s (customised) Draw Bean, that allows the Consultants to draw on top of an image to illustrate where/what problem the patient has. This won’t work in Web client, AFAIK.
What wrapper would I include to make it more native?
And wouldn’t I have to redesign most of the forms to fit the smaller screen, otherwise there would be a lot of scrolling?
I heard rumors that David P. has drawing working in web-client… For best experience redesign screens to match resolution, talk to Graham I heard he recently modded an app for iPad successfully.

I have commissioned a draw bean that works in webclient and smart client. It allows you to fire in images into its background, change the colour and size of the pen etc.
Happy to share in the cost of its dev and maintenance if you have clients who want to use it. It has sent me back about £1200 to date.

Thanks for the offer, but my client has paid out a reasonable sum already to Scott Butler of iTech Professionals for him to do the bean we are using, which currently isn’t web capable…
Maybe you could let me know directly who did your development work and maybe I could get your developer in touch with Scott to tell him how to easily ‘web enable’ our bean?
Thanks
As Rafi said, I do already have a Drawing Bean that supports a background graphic, and then you draw over top of it with mouse clicks and can change the pen color. It then comes back into servoy as a JSImage. My version isn’t web compatible. I suspect the web compatible version you are referring to is done via an Applet, and not HTML5? Reason I ask is because Applets don’t work on mobile devices.
