GWT Mobile Application

[Myth17]

I have some experience with GWT designing web apps!

However I want to make a simple mobile web app now which allows user to type a text(simple update) mark a couple of tags and post it to a database. Simple and Sweet!

I would want the application to run on as many mobile phones as possible(blackberry+android+iphone)! What should be my strategy? Do I need to use something 

like -->  http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mobile-webkit/ (they dont say anything about Blackberry support) or I can do it with my plain old GWT?

Ahh it seems that WidgetDesign is in their roadmap and yet to be implemented --> http://code.google.com/p/gwt-mobile-webkit/wiki/WidgetsDesign

Hi,

check out this link:
http://www.m-gwt.com/
it is based on PhoneGap (a open source framework for developing native applications based on HTML & AJAX)
and connects it with GWT.

I am not sure what you mean. You could open a browser in an Android emulator
and surf to that page..?
It gives you a first impression. But finally you will have to test it on an
actual device.

To test look of an iPhone aApp you should open the page with Safari browser.

I found a nice way to make screenshots that look almost as if it was an
iPhone app

Deploy your app to a local web server on your laptop, then hit the IP
of the laptop followed by the port, on your device. Make sure the
device and the laptop are on the same network. Your device would
connect on wifi.

I use MAMP to run my local web server, and I use port 8080.

On my laptop I can hit http://localhost:8080/myapp/

Or I can hit http://Laptop's IP:8080/myapp/

The second one is available to other devices on the network. On a Mac
I enable Web Sharing, under Preferences -> Sharing to expose the IP to
the network.

Your GWT Code should run on android+iOS devices like phones and
tablets, because both use WebKit as browser.

gwt-mobile-kit is library for html5/mobile apis like geolocation,
localstorage end so on, but as you mentioned in your later post, this
library lacks widgets. Localstorage is also supported in GWT itself
since 2.3. So gwt-mobile-kit shouldn't be necessary.

To test your app on a mobile devices, open the Run Configurations for
your project and add "-bindAddress 0.0.0.0" without the qoutes to
Program Arguments on the Arguments Tab. This tells gwt to use all
network interfaces not just localhost(127.0.0.1). Rerun your
application, now you should be able to connect from a mobile device.

Now hit the GWT compiler button (red GWT icon in eclipse toolbar) and
let your app compile, you could reduce the compile time if you set the
supported browsers to only safari.

After compiling your app you could open your app from your mobile
device or emulator or just your chrome/safari browser.
