Mobile Development Perspective
The Mobile Development perspective contains the views and editors needed to work with mobile applications.
Package Explorer
The Package Explorer is a standard Eclipse view. It shows a Java-specific view of your projects, including Mobile Projects.
The Package Explorer tree structure contains a top-level node for each Mobile Project. The name of the top-level node matches the name of the Mobile Project.
The Package Explorer allows access to all information in a project, including the application code, resource handler code, application resources, properties files, and information about the devices a project supports.
Mobile Explorer view
The Mobile Explorer view is a Mobile Development-specific view. It contains a subset of the information in the Package Explorer. The Mobile Explorer view displays information only for Mobile Projects. For each Mobile Project, the Mobile Explorer view displays:
*Root application
*Single, main window for the project
*Each view defined for the project
*Each dialog defined for the project
Use the Mobile Explorer view to navigate to the project information you want to view and work with in the Outline Editor. For example, if you want to work on one of the views in the project, you can navigate to that view in the Mobile Explorer view and display it in the Outline Editor so that you can edit the view.
Outline Editor
The Outline Editor is a Mobile Development-specific editor that will be shown when you add or display a mobile object. It shows an outline of the Mobile Project. The Outline Editor consists of the following:
*A Model section, which displays the tree structure, or outline, of the Mobile Project. It lists, for example, the window, views, and dialogs in the project. Child nodes of a window, view, or dialog lists the user interface elements, such as buttons or text entry fields, that the window, view, or dialog contains. Additionally, the outline of the project lists the languages that the project supports.
*A Properties section, which displays the properties for the node that is selected in the Model section. Use the Properties section to view and edit properties.
*A palette, which lists all objects that can be added to the Mobile Project. To add an object, you drag it to the appropriate node in the Model section.
Ant view
The Ant view is a standard Eclipse view. It shows Ant scripts that you can use for a Mobile Project.
Mobile Designer provides several Ant scripts that you use to perform various tasks for a Mobile Project. For example, you use an Ant task to build a project. The build Ant tasks compile your application code and package the application so that you can install it on a mobile device.
