Programming tips

Using the skin template

To develop an application common to Mobile, Windows phone and Android, we recommend that you use the "ActivPhone7" skin template. This skin template can be used on all the platforms.

Notes:

If a window is available in an Android and Mobile configuration, only the skin templates available on both systems can be used.
If a window is available in an Android, Mobile and Windows Phone 7 configuration, the skin templates for the three systems are available. However, we recommend that you use the "ActivPhone7" skin template.

Size and resolution of windows

To develop an application common to Mobile, Windows Phone and Android, we advise you to:

work in the smallest resolution of the three platforms,
manage the anchors (in Android and Mobile).
