Our mobile flutter UI is just awesome. Just sayin'
The next version will be 2.6.0.
It will fix some smaller bugs and will provide you with a killer feature. It will be possible to use multiple application configurations. Simply switch your JVx based applications.
The application overview will look like this:
Application overview
What else?
We have support for haptic feedback and slider button. We improved screen loading and will show a skeleton with loading animation. We have support for flat/text buttons an image viewer and full-screen multiline text editor. The image viewer is automatically available for all your image editors. Simply tap on an image. If you have small multiline editors in your screen, simply double tap to get a full-screen editor.
You want more?
We have edit support for simple tables (single cells or the whole record), we have sort on header and also table reload support. The application API was updated and is now much easier to use. Our example application demonstrates many use-cases but a full API documentation is not available at the moment. This is on our todo-list!
The flutter client for JVx applications is Apache 2.0 licensed and the source code is available here.
VisionX 5.9.172 EarlyAccess version is available for all our customers.
The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes. Especially react UI and flutter UI got some updates. Both UIs are included in VisionX 5.9.172.
The mobile Browser previewer app is now built with Flutter 3.7.3, the latest release. We're working on some great improvements.
In this EA version, it's possible to embedd a reactUI in an iframe with a link to a different host. It was possible to use iframes but only for the same host. Now it's possible to embedd e.g. an application which is deployed in VisionX cloud without any problems, in your homepage.
VisionX 5.9.121 EarlyAccess version is available for all our customers.
The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes. Especially flutter UI and react UI got lots of updates. Both UIs are included in VisionX 5.9.121. Our new product react UI designer is also included and documentation is available on project site.
Prior VisionX 5.9.120 it wasn't possible to pin VisionX to windows taskbar. Oh, yes it was possible to pin the icon but after pressing the icon, a second VisionX icon appeared. So, it didn't work. We tried to find a perfect solution, but with launch4j it wasn't possible. A switch to jsmooth wasn't an option so we tried to find a nice solution. Our current solution just works but is not perfect. It's possible to pin VisionX but not with the running process.
We're happy to announce that a new demo application is available. It's more or less a delivery service.
The demo application is not a real delivery service application! It demonstrates how to create and integrate a custom UI based on our reactUI. It's a demo application for software developers.
The full source code and documentation is available here.
custom UI (delivery service)
Simply install the application via VisionX' Marketplace and open the "next generation" live preview.
The application already contains the custom UI.
VisionX is the only tool which offers such flexible customization of applications with state-of-the-art technology. Same customization is available for native mobile (flutter) apps.
The multi-factor-authentication support in JVx is not a brand-new feature but it was undocumented. If you're interested in MFA, simply read the documentation.
If you're also interested in custom REST services, read following article.
The JVx documentation doesn't explain every single feature of JVx, but it's better than you think!
We're happy to announce VisionX 5.8. It's a big update with bombastic features.
The exact version number is 5.8.180.
The version comes with the latest release build of our brand new react user interface and a brand new (native) mobile application. Our react UI is an additional UI and can be used as modern alternative to our good old vaadin UI, which is still part of VisionX. We'll continue our vaadin UI and keep it as long as possible, but cool features will be available for react UI. Our react UI looks modern and is easy to style with CSS. In VisionX, the live preview contains a new design mode. The design mode makes it possible to style the application live in the browser. It's an awesome feature, simply try it out!
The design mode is an experimental feature of VisionX 5.8.
We also build our react UI daily, automatically as pre-releases. This makes it easy for you, to update react UI in your VisionX or to build your custom react UI. As long as react UI is compatible with your VisionX version, you get the latest features without new VisionX release.
But not only the react UI is brand new, also our (native) mobile client is brand new. It's still based on flutter but got a complete redesign. The new app is super fast, and supports all layout features of VisionX. To be honest, it's awesome. And we have the same update strategy for the mobile app. As long as it is compatible with your VisionX installation, it can be updated independent of VisionX. VisionX 5.8 also contains a live preview for the mobile app, directly in your web browser. You won't need a real device for the preview, but it looks like the app on your mobile device! This is so cool.
What's new?
The version got some updates for the screen designer and we improved user experience. It also contains a lot of bug fixes. The main focus was on new react UI and new mobile application.
Some visual changes
Hidden menu group
Simply move a work-screen to the hidden group and it will be invisible. There are also two new move buttons in the menu management. It's now possible to move a screen directly into another group.
