Deploy to Android

The easiest way of deploying your Project to a mobile device is using the Test on Decide feature. To use it, you need to activate the Device Portal on your device and set the User developer features to Developer mode. These settings can be found under the For developers menu of your device settings,

NOTE: To test your Project on the mobile device without being prompted for options, right click the Test on Device button.

Generate Data File

If you check this option your Project, Kalipso Designer will fetch the data of the server, from the tables defined as "ToPDA" in their properties, and send it along with the Project.
This option is only available if you have offline Database Tables.

Prompt for Filter Variables

Use this option to define the value of the Variables used in the "Filter" property of the tables defined as "ToPDA".
This option is only available if you check "Generate Data File".

Erase Data on Device

If you check this option, it means that before integrating your Project, Kalipso will clear it from the mobile device as if never existed, including data.

Update KClient On the Device

Checking this option, you'll be forcing the update of Kalipso framework on the device.

The deployment can be done in two ways. You can change the default method under menu Settings.

USB + WiFi

With this option, Kalipso will try to install KClient through USB, if necessary, and will send instructions to it to fetch the Project from the server. No user input is required but the device must be in the same network as the PC.

USB + SD Card

With this option, Kalipso will try to install KClient through USB, if necessary, and will send the Project to the mobile device's SD Card and tell KClient to process it. No user input is required. This option is normally preferred unless the device does not have an SD Card, internal or external.
