Simplify Cross Platform Mobile Application Development with Automatic User Device Detection

So, you've designed an HTML5 app that's accessed through a URL. But users will be launching your app from any number of different devices—whether it be an iOS phone or tablet, an Android device, a desktop browser, a Windows phone, etc.—and you want each device to launch a different startup component or page.

By using the AppLauncher component, you can automatically detect the user's device and launch the appropriate component, or .A5W page, with the appropriate stylesheet. You can even navigate to a different URL. Check out the overview video below to see how with just a few clicks, you can simplify cross platform mobile application development.

The Alpha platform is the only unified mobile and web app development and deployment environment with distinct “no-code” and “low-code” components. Using the Alpha TransForm no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language. IT developers can use the Alpha Anywhere low-code environment to develop complex web or mobile business apps from scratch, integrate data with existing systems of record and workflows (including data collected via Alpha TransForm), and add additional security or authentication requirements to protect corporate data.
