Prerequisites
Options
There are two types of settings in UBIK client: Global Settings and User Specific Settings.
The Global Settings include the following
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| AuthServerName | The name of the server to connect to for user authentication |
| AuthPortNumber | The port number to use when connecting to the authentication server (optional) |
| UBIKAuthContentService | The name of the UBIK authentication service |
The User Specific Settings include the following
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| UBIKContextName | The UBIK CONTEXT name |
| UBIKApplicationName | The UBIK APPLICATION name |
| UBIKContentService | The name of the UBIK content service |
| Protocol | The protocol to use for data communication over the Internet (e.g.: HTTPS) |
| ServerName | The name of the server to connect to for fetching content |
| PortNumber | The port number to use when connecting to the content server (optional) |
| PriorityThreshold | Any property with a priority number greater than this integer setting value is regarded as a high priority property and is highlighted when being displayed |
| UpdateExpirySeconds | The number of seconds one has to wait before the same update will be considered necessary. If an update of certain content has just ended successfully and is requested again within the amount of time configured in this setting, the client simply dismisses the new request. However, this setting does not affect Forced Updates in Manual Synchronization Mode. |
| IsAutoSyncActive | If set to true, the committing of content will be managed by UBIK client; otherwise, nothing will be committed unless triggered by users |
| ShowSystemProperties | If set to true, all properties will be displayed; otherwise, the ones that are marked as invisible will be hidden |
Additionally, the demo application and its unique user specific settings are listed as follows
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| PrepareMode | This is set to true/false when users switch the client to offline/online mode in the start menu. However, editing this setting directly might not trigger the expected behavior |
| NumberPropertyEditor | Whether to use the normal keyboard or the UBIK Number Pickers for editing numeric properties |
| CurrentAltitude | The (mock) altitude in meters to use in Augmented Reality activities |
| ContentDistanceFilterThreshold | The threshold in meters up to which billboards are displayed in Augmented Reality activities |

Working with UBIK®
Content Browser
Allows to navigate through the entire data model in a hierarchical manner, as it is published by the server.
POI
Brings up the Augmented Reality view and displays Points of Interest (POI's) related to the current location of the mobile device.
Map
Opens the map view and displays Points of Interest (POI's) related to the current location of the mobile device.
Online/Offline mode
Switches between online and offline mode.
ID Marker
It is used to scan id markers and, if in the database there are objects with the id marker classification and the ids from the configuration XML match the marker id property, a dialog containing two icons, one for navigating to the content browser and the other to navigate to the location, should appear onto the screen.
Teach In
Now the user is able to edit geo properties using a new editor which should handle the editing of geo properties. The editor contains a button for setting up the chosen location (if any), a cancel button or a delete button for deleting the old location. In this context delete means that the old location becomes null.
Editors
Geo Editor
Editor used to set geo locations for a specific property. The user can enter the location manually or, if available, can use the location provided by the positioning service. In case the positioning service doesn't deliver any location the user has only the possibility to enter the location manually.
