Design the widget for a single purpose and analyze how it can best serve its users. Carefully consider the special features of the mobile device environment when you design the implementation. For more information, see <a href="GUID-D54DEFE7-E878-4530-B707-A5388DFE1D9D.html#GUID-D54DEFE7-E878-4530-B707-A5388DFE1D9D">Designing widgets</a>.</p><p>This step also involves choosing the Web Runtime (WRT) version for which you develop the widget. Different versions support different features. The functionality of the widget determines which features it uses. While the WRT environment is backward-compatible, so that widgets created for an earlier version run also on a newer one, the opposite is not guaranteed. The WRT version you choose thus determines not only the available features for implementing your widget but also the range of devices that can run the widget. For more information, see sections <a href="GUID-B00941F9-2530-4D3D-BBC7-59EDA3A4C151.html#GUID-B00941F9-2530-4D3D-BBC7-59EDA3A4C151">Web Runtime features</a> and <a href="GUID-1A3ECAC1-3F09-4602-A1CD-82164040A664.html#GUID-1A3ECAC1-3F09-4602-A1CD-82164040A664">Web Runtime versions and device support</a>.</p>Your design should also take into consideration whether the target devices support user interaction by touch and running widgets on the home screen. For more information on home screen widgets, see <a href="GUID-DA3E6868-F769-4576-A0C3-6776BF358B44.html#GUID-DA3E6868-F769-4576-A0C3-6776BF358B44">Introduction to home screen widgets</a>.</li> |
