Cross Platform Apps Development by IncBit team

Grow your business with Cross Platform Mobile Apps. You may be knowing mobile apps and wondering what is Cross Platform app? It's simple! Its just an app like any other app which can run on any platform i.e. Android, iOS, Windows, Amazon Kindle, Tabs, BlackBerry, etc. Cross Platform mobile app development refers to the development of mobile apps which can run on multiple platforms. Cross-platform apps can be developed using different tools available like Sencha, PhoneGap, Xamarin, Appcelerator Titanium,Cocos2d, Corona, Qt, Alpha Anywhere...and so on...

Cross Platform Apps help save your cost on building an app. You don't need to develop a separate app for a different platform (i.e. iOS, Android, Windows...) you just pay for development of one mobile app which can run on different platform(s) with minor or no change in code.

Advantages of Cross-Platform App Development:

Cost Saving: This is one of the most important factor which the client goes for! The app can run on multiple OS platforms so helps save the cost. It also helps to reduce the maintenance cost as resource effort is reduced.

Easy Code Maintenance: Cross-platform mobile apps have code which is easy to maintain. These apps are developed using a development environment which already has many pre-built libraries that the developer does not need to re-write much code in case there is any change in any part of the functionality of the app. Time to fix an issue in the cross platform app is reduced and development time and efforts is lesser comparatively to other forms of development of the mobile app.

Business Mobile Apps and Cross-platform: The cross-platform interface is ideal for business app development as business scenarios have become more or less agile in nature during to sudden changing demands from customers and thus the app needs an immediate change for the functionalities of the app. Here Cross-platform interface helps a lot.

Ease-of-Marketing: As the cross-platform apps use a popular development environment thus the technical support of the development environment team also helps the marketing team of the mobile app to count on the plus points of the app while making a sales call to the customers.
It further helps the sales team to reach a wider marketing network of prospective customers.

Uniform design and screens: It is easier to maintain uniform design and screens of cross-platform mobile apps. The reason is the pre-build and already existing UI controls which are provided and available within the development environment. So a theme is maintained throughout the mobile app. This effect can be more seen in case of Learning and Education apps developed as cross-platform apps.

IncBit Business App - Android Mobile App - Diet App Planner

The app is called Diet App. This app is divided into the following sections:
1) Diet
2) Weekly Schedule(The number of weeks to follow the diet)
3) Reporting(Health Chart)
The purpose of the diet app is to make a user follow the proper diet schedule as per suggestions by their respective dietician or for that matter what is the total calorie needs of a person as per the daily work profile being followed.

Diet: User selects the diet from the list provided. This list also contains the calorie count for the selected diet. There are different diet-list being shown to the users for different parts of a day i.e. breakfast, lunch, dinner, evening tea or bed tea which is the common eating pattern being followed to select a diet. User can select a diet and see the calorie count of that diet and make a decision to go for that diet or not. Besides this the user can also create a custom diet as per the guidelines provided by the respective dietician of that user. The custom diet’s ingredients will again have specific calorie count based upon the content size of that ingredient and thus again helpful for the user to decide upon the custom diet.

Weekly Schedule with Start Date: Then the user is presented with a list. This list will be week 1 through week N. By default the Start date of the Diet Plan will be the current date which can be scheduled by the user. The user is shown a Diet Calendar figure and user can select the no. of weeks the diet schedule to be followed.

The weeks will be shown in the slide menu (like Facebook app) and the chosen week menu will the in the main window. In that main windows there will be slideytabs. The first tab will show the complete day menu in its original form according to the diet. The slide tabs will show the days for that week. The day menu will start using the start date as given by the user. So, for instance, when the user wants to start a south beach diet on a Wednesday and wants to do this for five weeks, then in the slide menu there will be five weeks shown: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, and week 5. The first day of dieting is Wednesday and it will show the complete menu for the day, with the options to filter and sort, as previously mentioned in the earlier specs. The alternatives for the day menu are shown in after a button in the main window.
 
Reporting (Health Chart): Finally after following the weekly schedule, user can see the health status from reporting section of the app. User can also compare the health chart with BMI index. There is in-built algorithm based upon which the chart is prepared for the user health.
User can compare the health chart with the real status of his health and discuss it further. This health chart is more of a health tracking chart to help user of the app to make note of the things and take a printout to discuss it further.
The health chart can be shared and email using the sharing interface.

 Purpose:

• To provide the admin/supervisor the facility to create forms dynamically using a web browser (i.e. Mozilla, Internet Explorer). These forms can be sent to mobile devices (Blackberry).
• User can fill the form on Mobile and submit the filled-in details.

ii)    Field Service Application - dispatching, orders, signature capture
iii)    Sales Force Application - invoicing, signature capture, time sheet
iv)    Geo location and tracking - mobile workers and assets such as deliver trucks and construction vehicles

The basic steps would be executed to create forms dynamically on web browser. The following are the basic and simple steps to create a form dynamically on web browser.

• Admin/Supervisor login: Supervisor/Admin would be provided with a web screen for login/password.
  
• Create Form Group: Once logged-in, the admin can create a Form Group for which forms need to be created. For existing Form Group(s) the forms can be edited or deleted.In this wireframe screen, the user would be shown Form Group List and Form List (if any) i.e. if a user has already created some Form Groups or forms, then those forms and projects would be shown to user.

• Create Forms: Once a Form Group is created, the user can now create the forms.
• Create Page(s): We’re providing facility to create multiple pages (for example, personal details page, department details etc.) for a form.User can create multiple pages for a single form.
