Where You Set Properties

Properties are generally set in the following files. When you set properties, be aware that when Mobile Designer builds a project, it obtains properties from the files in the order listed and uses the first setting it encounters for a property.

Project-specific target device files (device_name.xml) that contain device-specific settings for devices that the project supports. For more information about target device files, see Devices that a Mobile Application Supports and Adding a Device to a Project.

Mobile Designer sets some properties in a target device file when you add a device to a project. You can change and/or add additional project properties. For instructions, see Setting Project Properties.

Project-level _defaults_.xml file that contains default settings for all devices in a project.

To start a project, you typically clone an existing project. As a result, your project starts with the settings in the cloned project. You can change and/or add additional properties. For more information, see Setting Project Properties.

If you want to override settings for your mobile application project, set project properties in the project’s target device files for the device. For instructions, see Setting Project Properties.

The Mobile Designer sdk.properties contains default property settings that affect all projects. For more information, see Updating the sdk.properties File to Configure Mobile Designer and Mobile Designer Configuration Properties (sdk.properties).
