The latest version of the mobile development tool, MobiForms 5.0, is now said to offer support for Google Android smartphones. MobiForms is claimed to be the first rapid application development tool in the world specifically designed for Google Android.
Up until now, says MobiForms, developing for Android required in depth professional programming skills with mandatory learning of Java, the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and the Google Android SDK (Software Development Kit). MobiForms says it replaces all of these tools with one simple, intuitive, drag and drop interface, and no Java or XML programming is required.
MobiForms now makes it possible for novice or experienced programmers alike to quickly create mobile business applications for Android Google smartphones. Additionally, the same app can be run on other platforms like Windows Mobile.
MobiForms for Google Android supports JDBC database connectivity to a range industry standard databases including Oracle and SQL Server. MobiForms also includes a free copy of the JDBC compliant HSQLDB database engine for off-line mobile database storage.
MobiForms offers all the tools in one "box" for the creation and deployment of any type of mobile application – from surveys to field service, from signature capture to bar coding.
One MobiForms application supports multiple device types including Tablet PC, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Symbian and now Google Android. One MobiForms licence includes an unlimited runtime licence for any number of mobile devices.
