Oracle apex mobile

please can anyone guide me on how to create an app that will have both desktop and mobile interface.
Also will the interface a user will access be automatic depending on whether he is using a phone or computer?

Hi Sihari,
We have similar problem. We want to have main application developed in Apex and we need a mobile application where user can connect to the main app, download their data set to the mobile local database, work offline and then sync back to the main app.
All we know is just Apex. We don't have time really to invest some time and money to learn other good mobile development framework like Jquery Mobile or Sencha Touch.
So ... we need to develop the offline mobile app using Apex.
We used Windows tablet: HP Slate 2 8.9", 2 GB RAM, 64 GB SSD with Win 7 Pro.
We installed Oracle Database XE and Apex 4.1.
Then we very fast developing the offline mobile app for our purpose using Apex.
At the end:
- developer loves it ... because it is developed in Apex
- user loves it .... because it is windows, they can have excel as well etc. etc.
---> user can connect the tablet to the network and access the mobile app from any PCs for faster data entry etc. !
- IT department loves it .... because it is a standard Windows device !
What do you want more ?
Some people will say: "It is overkill...." and we said: "No it is not...."
Performance wise, it is NOT super flash and super snappy but I would good performance.
Almost all pages loads under 1 second, some takes less than 3 seconds. But it still can be optimized though.
Recently we installed Windows 8 RP on the tablet and it works even better with IE10 !
We are looking forward for Windows Surface Pro tablet.

  • Loop through checkbox in Oracle APEX 4.2 (using JQuery Mobile)

    Hello!
    I want question text and a report containing the possible answers is shown on a page. An answer can be selected by clicking on the checkbox. After hitting the submit button, the selected checkboxes containing the Answer Text, an answer_id and the current session_id are to be inserted into a table within the database.
    Within Oracle APEX 4.2, I am using a classic report to achieve this. Thich is actually a bad solution, because the checkboxes within the report are shown as simple HTML checkboxes, instead of neat JQueryMobile checkboxes). Anyway, this is my current solution:
    Is use this code for creating the classic report:
    SELECT APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,answer_id), answer_id, answer_text
    FROM ANSWERS
    WHERE question_ID = :P10_Question_ID;
    The insert of the data is done via the on submit process "On Submit - After Computations and Validations"
    This is the code for the on submit process:
    DECLARE var_session_id NUMBER := :P0_SESSION_ID;
    BEGIN
    FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
    INSERT INTO STUDENT_ANSWERS (answer_id, answer_text, session_id)
    SELECT a.answer_id, a.answer_text, var_session_id
    FROM ANSWERS a WHERE a.answer_id = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i)
    END LOOP;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    But this solution does not work. Instead, nothing is inserted into the database.
    I don't know why the process is not inserting into the database, maybe there is something wrong with this line here WHERE a.answer_id = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i) ?
    I even tried a simple update process for testing purposes, but this doesnt work either:
    BEGIN
    FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
    UPDATE STUDENT_ANSWERS SET text = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F03(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i))
    WHERE am_id = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
    END LOOP;
    COMMIT;
    END;
    Can anybody tell me how to loop through a checkbox within ORACLE APEX 4.2 and how to insert the values ANSWER_ID, ANSWER_TEXT and SESSION_ID into the table STUDENT_ANSWERS after hitting the submit button? If you would know how to do it without using a report but a simple checkbox, this would be even more helpful for me!

    I would start by putting this after submit, to check the contents of the array.
    apex_debug.message('count:'||apex_application.g_f01.COUNT);
    FOR i IN 1..apex_application.g_f01.COUNT LOOP
        apex_debug.message('i:'||i||':'||apex_application.g_f01(i));
    END LOOP;
    Then compare the contents with your answers table.

  • Oracle APEX versus Adobe Flex on AIR

    Hi
    I need advantages and disadvantages Oracle APEX versus Adobe Flex on AIR. I don't know Adobe and need your help. (we fight about our potential customer).
    Project:
    40 users insert own actvities into database. Supervisor analyse this info (reports, charts). Users connect to app via mobile phone EDGE using laptop.
    Regards

    Hello again,
    From the end-user perspective, FLEX applicatoins are more graphic in nature, in that they are truly graphic. APEX (at least through 3.2) generates a standard HTML type of web page. You can do graphics type of code, but Flex creates applications that will only run with Adobe tools. Flex generates an HTML page, but it calls a .swf file and plays that.
    Unless it is critical that you have that fully graphic interface (a .swf file type of image that plays), standard HTML is much better. You can still generate graphs, charts and such; incorporate images in your page and all the things that standard web pages have.
    With APEX, your users will see a standard HTML web-page type of interface, which most users today know how to use and expect.
    Thanks,
    Don.

  • Developing with Oracle APEX... from an iPad?

    Hi,
    I'm a French APEX freelance. I have a blog about it and recently, I've wrote a post from a simple question: "Do you imagine developing APEX applications with an iPad?".
    Actually, I thought a lot about it since the iPad is released in the US and very soon in the other countries.
    You can read this post here if you speak French: http://romain.lazzarotto.fr/veille-technologique-oracle-apex/oracle-apex-sur-lipad/
    or here with the Google translation: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http://romain.lazzarotto.fr/veille-technologique-oracle-apex/oracle-apex-sur-lipad/&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhgxLCmbOqmasvYOnXF4AVoT9voIOw
    As database management and application development can be done 100% with a simple Web browser, why not doing that with an iPad?
    It would bring so much mobility, and enable developers to have a better development experience, from anywhere with a 3G or Wi-Fi connection.
    Most of all, what would you think about a dedicated iPad app? Imagine something very innovative with touch interfaces, which would enable you to manage regions, elements and buttons that way.
    APEX has already some very nice UI features such as Query Builder to develop SQL requests without any coding, or drag and drop elements. I'm wondering how it could be extended to other features and used on such devices?
    Oracle already developed some iPhone apps (available here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/oracle-usa-inc/id284793707).
    Do you think that an APEX app for the iPad (and other future similar devices) would be relevant?
    With this post, I want to point out this idea and get feedback from the community, so feel free to share your opinion.
    Have fun with APEX,
    Romain.

    Maybe not develop ON an iPad, but FOR the iPad...Sure. If it ever gets Flash. One of the first things I did was try and pull up my 4.0EA2 application. No Flash graphs/charts obviously, but other than that it rendered well.
    If the ability to see the charts comes along (Flash support or HTML5 maybe?), then I can see it being a useful tool for our salesforce. Let alone building standalone apps.
    It's a great platform from the hardware viewpoint. Just not ready for APEX yet.

    I have also applied a patch "16760897".
    This issue is because of number of columns in a query is more then 26.
    If I run a report with 26 or less number of columns then the is working fine, otherwise getting this error.

  • How to pass a value to a bind variable in a query report in oracle apex

    Hi Guys,
    I have requirement to send weekly reports via email to some users. The users should receive their own records in the report. The user details is stored in a table. What I am planning to do is to create a report query in oracle apex to generate the report and then run a function/procedure via a scheduler to email the report to respective users. Now my query is ............. is it possible to pass a value (user name) to the report query to pull records of only that user? I know we can have bind variables in the report query but I have no idea how to pass a value for bind variables from a function/procedure.
    Can anyone help me on this issue or suggest a better approach?

  • How fetch data from a view(which is located in different server) using Oracle APEX webservices

    Are you getting an error? The way you have it set up, you can have an error and it will never be displayed. Put and error control on your front panel and see what it gives you. Also, shared variables in a project can be useful. Look at some examples for that.

  • Getting error while importing the application in Oracle Apex

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue while importing an application into my new Oracle Apex installation. Installation was successful with out any issue. I exported an application from my old Apex (version 3.0.0.00.20) and importing the same into new apex (version 3.0.1.00.08). I am getting the following error.
    ============================================================
    The requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server.
    ============================================================
    When I click on import in Application Builder page and then browse the required file it gives the progress saying "Importing File" and after some time it displays the above error.
    I tried bouncing the application also and there is not error in alert log.
    Could any one please suggest, if there is some problem here. Or my approach is not correct.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Advait Deo

    Osacar, I recommend that you try to import the application into your workspace on apex.oracle.com and see what happens. Also, refine the problem statement as much as you can, e.g., you get this error importing "the application" or when importing "any" application. How big is the file you're trying to import? Where did it come from? Can you upload images?

    Does anyone have any solution how to escape the single quotes in Oracle APEX 4.2. - like \' or something? I already tried using backslash but had no luck.
    Would really appreciate your help ASAP.

    execute immediate 'update emp set sal = sal * 1.2 where ename = ''SCOTT''';However a better approach when dealing with SQL strings is to use the alternative quoting mechanism:
    execute immediate q'{update emp set sal = sal * 1.2 where ename = 'SCOTT'}';as this allows the original string to be left unaltered.

  • Issue in Upgrading Oracle APEX 2.1 to 3.1

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) which includes Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX) release 2.1
    I have upgraded from Oracle APEX 2.1 to 3.1 by following instructions in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
    Following is the sequence of steps I followed
    1. @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
    2. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME
    3. @APEX_HOME/apex/apxxepwd.sql password
    Now Oracle Database express home page changes to
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4550:1:723721796272276
    All gif logos are missing and font appears differently. More importantly nothing happens after entering workspace/username/password and clicking login button. I am using internet exlorer 7 and it says "Error on Page" on the bottom status bar.
    Please let me know if any one encounterd similar issue and if you were able to fix the issue.

    RSNAIK

    Hello,
    For all of you who have the same problem that we had.
    After two installs and desinstall, I have finally found what to do.
    You must stop the OracleXETNSListener service when upgrading Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.
    Here the steps to follow assuming that you have installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition into C:\oraclexe
    and unzipped apex_3.1.2 into C:\apex on a Windows XP System :
    1. On Windows XP, Startup Menu, go to the Configuration panel, open Administration Tools, open Services, then you will click on the OracleXETNSListener service, stop it.
    2. On Windows XP, Startup Menu, select Execute, type cmd and press OK to open a DOS window.
    3. At the DOS prompt, type cd apex.
    4. At the DOS prompt, type sqlplus /nolog
    5. At the SQL prompt, type connect SYS as SYSDBA
    6. Type the password of the user SYSTEM that you choose when installing Oracle XE.
    7. At the SQL prompt, type *@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/* (may take 15 minutes or more)
    8. At the DOS prompt, be sure to be in the apex directory (C:\apex) then type sqlplus /nolog
    9. At the SQL prompt, type connect SYS as SYSDBA
    10. Type the password of the user SYSTEM that you choose when installing Oracle XE.
    11. At the SQL prompt, type *@apxchpwd*
    12. Choose a password for ADMIN, type it then press Enter
    13. At the SQL prompt, type *@apxldimg* C:\ (you will perhaps obtain a message like an error but the upgrade works fine)
    14. At the SQL prompt, type *@apxxepwd* password (where password is the ADMIN password choosen at step 12)
    15. At the SQL prompt, type quit
    16. At the DOS prompt, type exit
    17. Then go to the OracleXETNSListener service and start it.
    To connect as ADMIN, type the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex_admin
    username : ADMIN
    password : your admin password
    You will be able to create workspaces (schemas) and users
    Now you will be able to connect to APEX at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    workspace : your login name (workspace created in apex_admin)
    username : your login name (user created in apex_admin)
    password : your password (password defined for the user in apex_admin)
    I hope that this steps will be clear for all of you.
    Thank you to user10570446 who have provided a clear step through. So that I'd take the time to clarified my solution to my type of configuration.
    I hope that RSNAIK has been able to make the upgrade to APEX 3.1.2.
    Good day to everyone

    I would also like to know how we get the DOM object ID for particular item.Use firebug or inspect the source code of the rendered page to see the object IDs. Other then then, the typical ID of page items is the name of the item. For regions you can set your own ID.
