This latest mobile booklet update includes:
- Send booklet content as a SMS/MMS
- Auto-open to an article instead of showing the list of articles when the application starts.
- Display content in Full screen mode
- Font size selection for displaying content
If you have existing mobile booklets, these new features will only be available if you re-create your jar files. Update your existing mobile booklets by selecting your required features and recreate those jar files. Full screen mode and font size selection is enabled by default.
The auto-open feature works by opening an article based on the article’s position in your list of articles. For a mobile booklet with a list of seven articles, a booklet created with the ‘Display an article for each day of the week’ option, will display the 1st article on Sunday and so on until the 7th article is displayed on Saturday. When you select the ‘Display an article for each day of the month’ option, the mobile booklet will display the 1st article on the first day of the month and so on until the 30th or 31st article is displayed at the end of the month. If there are not enough articles for each day of the week or month, the list of articles will be displayed for selection. Hope this explanation is clear enough and didn’t confuse you further.
The minimum mobile Java version required for mobile booklets is now MIDP 2.0 instead of MIDP 1.0. This is to support display in full screen mode and for sending SMS. Anyway, most phones released within the last 5 years (since 2004) would come with Java MIDP 2.0.
