Creating a New Mobile Project

Mobile Development provides the New Mobile Development Project wizard that you can use to create a new mobile project. When you create a mobile project, Mobile Development automatically adds the following to your mobile project:

Adds your system language as a language that your application supports. You can add additional languages and/or remove languages after the project is created. For more information, see Configuring Supported Languages.

Adds several universal devices that your application supports. You can add additional devices and/or remove devices after the project is created.

1. Open the New Mobile Development Project wizard by selecting one of the following:

2. Specify the following settings for the mobile project:

The name that you type will automatically be used as the default value in the Application Name field and as a prefix in the Package Name field.

b. Optional. If you want to use an application name other than the default value, type the name in the Application Name field.

Mobile Development uses the application name internally, for example, as part of the name of the application_nameAppControllerImpl.java Java class that it creates.

Note:
You can rename the application at a later time. However, if you have added custom code to application_nameAppControllerImpl.java, you must take further action. For more information, see Renaming the Application.

c. Optional. If you want to use a package name other than the default value, type the name in the Package Name field. When specifying the name, be sure to only use characters that are valid in a Java package name.

The default value for the package name is defined in the Mobile Development preferences. If you want to modify the default value, you can simply click the Configure the default Package Name link. For more information, see Mobile Development Preferences.

Mobile Development uses the supplied name as part of the package names for the Java classes in the gen/src and src folders of your project. For example, if you specify com.mycompany.myproject, the gen/src folder contains the com.mycompany.myproject package.

To use the default location, select the Use default location check box.

To specify an alternate location, clear the Use the default location check box, click Browse, and browse to and select the location where you want to save the project.

3. Select the application template that you want to use. The application template helps to speed up development because default configurations that are ready for customization will be generated. The following templates are provided for selection (see the template descriptions in the wizard for more detailed information):
