|
13 <p>You need to register your applications in order to make them visible |
|
14 to the application menu and to provide other information to the underlying |
|
15 operating system. To register, you need to provide a registration resource |
|
16 file, typically named <parmname><application_name>_reg.rss</parmname> that |
|
17 contains the non-localized information for your application. Examples of non-localized |
|
18 information include:</p> |
|
19 <ul> |
|
20 <li><p>UID of the application</p></li> |
|
21 <li><p>name of the application executable, without an extension</p> |
|
22 </li> |
|
23 <li><p>application properties, such as embeddability or whether |
|
24 it is hidden</p></li> |
|
25 </ul> |
|
26 <p>For more information on how to create a registration file for the non-localized |
|
27 information for your application, see <xref href="GUID-BF1AAA0D-DF2F-4E1D-A0D2-F419BD32F97A.dita">Creating |
|
28 registration resource files</xref>. </p> |
|
29 <p>You also need to provide localized information for your applications, |
|
30 such as captions and icons. This is done by either including a name and path |
|
31 of a localizable icon and caption resource file or the symbolic ID of a <parmname>LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO</parmname> data |
|
32 structure in your application UI resource file. For a discussion of the available |
|
33 options for where you can place this resource statement, see <xref href="jar:GUID-35228542-8C95-4849-A73F-2B4F082F0C44.jar!/sdk/doc_source/ToolsAndUtilities94/DevTools/RegFiles/Tool_Guide_LocalisableIconFile.html#Tool_Guide_LocalisableIconFile" format="application/java-archive">Localisable |
|
34 icon/caption definition files</xref>. </p> |
|
35 <p>You may define the following localized information:</p> |
|
36 <ul> |
|
37 <li><p>application caption, which is typically displayed next to |
|
38 the icon in the application menu</p></li> |
|
39 <li><p>short caption used by some mobile devices when screen space |
|
40 is limited</p></li> |
|
41 <li><p>name of the icon file</p></li> |
|
42 </ul> |
|
43 <p>For more information on using the <parmname>LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO</parmname> data |
|
44 structure, see <xref href="GUID-9F90A2F0-9C76-4871-A766-D1AE0FC42C08.dita">Defining |
|
45 localizable registration information</xref></p> |
|
46 <note> |
|
47 <p>You must compile both the non-localized information registration resource |
|
48 file and the localized information resource file and include the results in |
|
49 your package file in order for your application to be registered in a mobile |
|
50 device.</p> |
