Comment on HiDPI Images in ADF Mobile Applications by Matt Cooper

Matt Cooper — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:48:38 +0000

The use “HiDPI” in this article is a general way of describing higher resolution displays to help explain this concept. Using XHDPI for Android or Retina for iOS is more specific. For example:

Technically Android has 4 basic buckets for these displays:
LDPI (x .75)
MDPI (x 1.0) – Android’s Baseline
HDPI (x 1.5)
XHDPI (x 2.0)

While Mac OS X and Apple iOS have 2 buckets that map to MDPI and XHDPI in Android:
Non Retina (x 1.0)
Retina (x 2.0)

I was able to restore the dock icon just with the first step – right-click and Show in Finder. If they disappear again, I’ll do steps 2-4.

Comment on Custom Java Bind Variable in a Where Clause of an ADF View Object by Matt Cooper

Matt Cooper — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:18:28 +0000

Potential simplification depending on your needs:

It turns out that there is a Groovy variable for the specific example shown above. Rather than using the “adf.object.viewObject.myEmailAddressBindVariable” Groovy expression and a Java implementation of the view object, you can simply use an expression of “adf.context.securityContext.userName”.

Of course if you needed to do anything more custom than simply using the user name, you will still need to create the Java implementation and use the viewObject expression syntax.
