| [dsdp-mtj-dev] Launch Command Template |
|
To my fellow “Mobile Fools for Java” J Can someone tell me what the intended use is of the launch
Command Template in the device definition dialog? Is it intended to be manually
edited by the user? The reason I ask is that I may want to have *many* settings for an emulator. Dozens. Ideally,
these settings appear on additional tabs on the dialog with lots of
user-friendly default values, prompts, and data validation. The emulator may
not require all values to be passed into it, but it may complain if you pass in
a parameter name without a value. I don’t want to force the user to enter
something just because a launch template has a replaceable parameter for it.
For example, if the user does not want to enter a phone number but the template
includes “/phone=%number%”, you send the emulator /phone=””
and it may throw up and error and not launch. So it comes down to this. Do we expect the user to manually
edit the template? It could be made read-only and presented below the tab panel.
Changes in the tabbed page fields could be reflected real-time in the launch
command below. That’s just an idea. Another option is to keep the template simple, then add
additional parameters programmatically and hidden from the user. But that could
hide errors. As a vendor, I would want to be careful to do things “the
MTJ way”.
