14 Tutorial for Building Mobile Applications for Windows CE

You can implement Mobile applications with Oracle Database Lite for WinCE. Oracle Database Lite supports various application models for the Windows Mobile/Pocket PC device, such as ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET. When developing your own WinCE application, you can use Visual Studio.Net 2003 or 2005.

This chapter uses a tutorial to demonstrate how to create, deploy, administer, and use a Windows CE application. The tutorial shows a Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio.NET) application that uses the Oracle Database Lite ADO.NET interface for Windows Mobile.

Note:

If you use Visual Studio.Net 2005 and/or ADO.Net, you must install the ODBC 3.5 driver. See Section 5.1.3, "ODBC" for details.

The following sections detail the development process:

• Section 14.1, "Overview of the WinCE Sample Application"

• Section 14.2, "Develop the Application"

• Section 14.3, "Create Publication for Application"

• Section 14.4, "Package and Publish the Application"

• Section 14.5, "Administer the Application"

• Section 14.6, "Run the Application on the Windows Mobile/Pocket PC Device"

14.1 Overview of the WinCE Sample Application

The sample WinCE application details typical activities of delivery personnel in the Transportation and Logistics industry, which includes package pick-up and delivery.

1. Before he leaves the dispatch center, the delivery person collects the complete delivery package list and the package delivery destination information for the day on his device.

2. As he delivers and picks-up packages, the delivery person updates the package pick-up and delivery status on his client device.

3. When he returns to the dispatch center, he synchronizes his updated information with the central server running in the dispatch center over any wireless network.

14.1.1 Before You Start

Before starting the Mobile application development process, you must ensure that the development computer and the client device meet the requirements specified below.

• Section 14.1.1.1, "Application Development Computer Requirements"

• Section 14.1.1.2, "Client Device Requirements"

14.1.1.1 Application Development Computer Requirements

Table 14-1 lists the configuration and installation requirements for the Mobile application development computer.

Table 14-1 Application Development Computer Requirements

Requirement	Description
Windows User Login	The login user on the Windows development computer must have "Administrator" privileges.
Installed Java Components	Java Development Kit 1.4.2 or higher.
Installed Oracle Database Lite 10g Components	Oracle Database 9.2 or higher. The Mobile Server (Oracle Database Lite CD-ROM). The Mobile Development Kit (Oracle Database Lite CD-ROM).
Installed Windows Mobile/Pocket PC Components	Microsoft Active Sync 3.8 or higher.

14.1.1.2 Client Device Requirements

You must connect the client device to the desktop and install the Oracle Database Lite client for Pocket PC on the device. For more information on how to install the Mobile Client on the device, see Section 14.6.1, "Install the Oracle Database Lite Mobile client for Pocket PC".

14.2 Develop the Application

This section explains how to develop and test the WinCE Transport application using the Mobile Development Kit. The WinCE Transport application is written in Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio.NET).

To develop and test the WinCE Transport application, perform the following tasks.

1. Section 14.2.1, "Create Database Objects in the Oracle Server"

2. Section 14.2.2, "Write the Application Code"

3. Section 14.2.3, "Compile the Application"

14.2.1 Create Database Objects in the Oracle Server

During deployment, the Mobile Server automatically creates the Oracle Database Lite database in the client device along with the requisite tables and data. To publish the application, users must create the database objects used by the application in the back-end Oracle database.

14.2.1.1 The WinCE Transport Application Database Objects

The WinCE Transport application uses the following database objects:

• Packages Table

• Routes Table

• Trucks Table

Table 14-2 lists the columns for the Packages table for storing information about the package.

Table 14-2 Packages Table

Column	Description
DID	Package ID
DDSC	Package Description
DWT	Package Weight
DSTR	Destination Street
DCTY	Destination City
DST	Destination State
DRTNR	Route Number
DRTNM	Route Name
DESN	Signature
DSTS	Package Status
TID	Truck Number
PRTY	Priority
PTNO	Point Number
TIND	Delivery 'D', or Pick-up 'P'

Table 14-3 lists the columns for the Routes table for storing information about a route.

Table 14-3 Routes Table

Column	Description
ROUTE_NO	Route Number (Primary Key)
ROUTE_NM	Route Name
EST_TIME	Estimated Time

Table 14-4 lists columns for the Trucks table for storing information about the availability status and destination information for a truck.

Table 14-4 Trucks Table

Column	Description
TRUCK_NO	Truck Number (Primary Key)
TRUCK_STATUS	Status of the Truck
ALERT_ADDRESS	Mobile or Pager address to send alert to (Portal User Interface)
DRIVER_ID	ID of the Truck Driver

To Create Database Objects

In order to execute the Transport demo, you must set up the schema and the database objects. We have provided a SQL script that will create the master schema and the database objects in the back-end. However, if the master schema is already created, then remove the statements that create this schema from the create.sql script.

Note:

Ensure that the CLASSPATH includes ojdbc14.jar.

Execute the create.sql script, as follows:

> cd ORACLE_HOME\Mobile\Sdk\samples\ado.net\wince\Transport\sql

> msql system/<sys_pwd>@jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:<port>:<oracle_sid> @create.sql

Note:

While entering the above command to create database objects, you must include a mandatory space between "<oracle_sid>" and "@create.sql".

Where:

• <sys_pwd> is the system password. This is required if you are creating the master schema. However, if you have eliminated the statements that create the schema, you can use master/master for username/password.

• <host>:<port> refers to the name and listening port of the machine where the back-end Oracle database is installed.

14.2.2 Write the Application Code

The WinCE Transport application, located in cd ORACLE_HOME\Mobile\Sdk\samples\ado.net\wince\Transport, uses Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio.NET), which is available with the sample application. The following sections describe the Transport application code:

• Section 14.2.2.1, "Transport Module (Transport.vb)"

• Section 14.2.2.2, "Main Form (frmMain.vb)"

• Section 14.2.2.3, "View Packages (frmView.vb)"

• Section 14.2.2.4, "Create Package (frmNew.vb)"

14.2.2.1 Transport Module (Transport.vb)

To open a database connection, you must declare a connection object,. which—in this tutorial—is called conn. The scope of the connection object is project level. The Connect sub-routine in the transport.vb module establishes a connection to the local Oracle Lite database with the DSN transport; the Disconnect sub-routine releases the connection.

Within the Connect sub-routine, the DSN is initialized as follows:

Dim dsn As String = "dsn=transport;uid=system;pwd=" & pwd
conn = New Oracle.DataAccess.Lite.OracleConnection(dsn)
conn.Open()

The DSN username and password are system and the user password; thus, only the user can connect since the user password is used.

14.2.2.2 Main Form (frmMain.vb)

The frmMain.vb file implements the main form of the Transport Tutorial application. This form connects to Oracle Database Lite on Load time and invokes the Create Package and View Packages forms, using the appropriate command buttons.

If the synchronization button is pushed, notice that the following is executed:

Disconnect()
OracleEngine.Synchronize(True)
Connect(UserName, Password)

In order to retrieve information from the database, the connection was established at the start of the application. Since you can only have a single connection to the back-end database—and the OracleEngine.Synchronization method creates a connection to the database as part of its functionality—the original connection is disconnected before the synchronization is invoked. Once synchronization is complete, the original connection is re-established. See Section 4.4.2, "Using the OracleEngine to Synchronize" for more information on this class.

14.2.2.3 View Packages (frmView.vb)

This form displays existing packages from the database. It also allows the user to modify and save existing packages. This form demonstrates the usage of the OracleDataAdapter and DataSet classes.

Note:

The OracleDataAdapter is the same as the Microsoft ADO.Net DataAdapter class. For more information on DataAdapter and DataSet classes, see the Microsoft ADO.Net documentation.

When this form is loaded, it creates an instance of the OracleDataAdapter object and sets the appropriate OracleCommand objects namely, Select, Update, and Delete. These OracleCommand objects are created by the transport.vb module during the main form loading process. Once an OracleAdapter object has been created successfully, this form creates a Dataset object and populates it with data from Oracle Database Lite, using the OracleDataAdapter object that was created.

Note:

For more information on the OracleCommand class, see Section 8.1.3, "Create Commands With the OracleCommand Class" in the Oracle Database Lite Client Guide.

dba = New OracleDataAdapter
dba.SelectCommand = cmdSel
dba.DeleteCommand = cmdDel
dba.UpdateCommand = cmdUpd
 
' Fill dataset
'
dset = New DataSet
dba.Fill(dset)

Once the Dataset is filled with Oracle Database Lite data, this form populates the UI controls using data from the DataSet object.

Dim table As DataTable = dset.Tables(0)
Dim rows As DataRowCollection = table.Rows
Dim row As DataRow = rows.Item(index)
 
Me.packDesc.Text = row.Item(1).ToString()
Me.packWeight.Text = row.Item(2).ToString()
Me.packStreet.Text = row.Item(3).ToString()
Me.packCity.Text = row.Item(4).ToString()
Me.packState.Text = row.Item(5).ToString()
Me.packRoute.Text = row.Item(7).ToString()

When users make changes to the package data, this form uses the OracleAdapter Update method to save the changes to Oracle Database Lite.

Dim row As DataRow = table.Rows(index)
row.BeginEdit()
row(6) = Me.packPriority.SelectedItem.ToString()
row(8) = Me.packStatus.SelectedItem.ToString()
row.EndEdit()
dba.Update(table)

14.2.2.4 Create Package (frmNew.vb)

This form allows users to create a new package entry in Oracle Database Lite. During the Load duration, this form creates a unique Package ID and populates the drop down list controls with truck numbers and route names.

When the user saves this form, it uses the OracleCommand and OracleParameter classes to save user changes in Oracle Database Lite.

Note:

For more information on the OracleCommand class, see Section 8.1.3, "Create Commands With the OracleCommand Class" in the Oracle Database Lite Client Guide.

cmd = GetConnection().CreateCommand()
rts = Me.packRoute.SelectedItem.ToString()
 
' Obtain route number
'
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT ROUTE_NO FROM ROUTES where ROUTE_NM='" & rts & "'"
res = cmd.ExecuteReader()
 While res.Read() = True
 rtn = res.GetString(0)
 End While
res.Close()
 
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PACKAGES ( 
 (DID,DDSC,DWT,DSTR,DCTY,DST,DRTNR,DRTNM,DSTS,TID,PRTY,PTNO,TIND) values 
 (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,'NEW',?,?,'1','P')"
 
' Set DID
'
par = cmd.CreateParameter()
par.DbType = DbType.String
par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
par.Value = id
cmd.Parameters.Add(par)
 
 ' Set DDSC
 '
par = cmd.CreateParameter()
par.DbType = DbType.String
par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
par.Value = Me.packDesc.Text
cmd.Parameters.Add(par)
... 
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.Dispose()

14.2.3 Compile the Application
