COMPARISON OF MOBILE PLATFORM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

V diplomskem delu smo pregledali obstoječe mobilne platforme za razvoj aplikacij. Te se uporabljajo na pametnih telefonih, kot tudi na srednje zmogljivih mobilnih telefonih. Razložili smo, kaj je pameten telefon in kakšne so njegove značilnosti. Podrobneje smo predstavili platformi Windows Mobile in Andorid, saj smo ju uporabili v praktičnem delu diplomske naloge. Predstavili smo področja, na katera naleti razvijalec poslovnih aplikacij za mobilne platforme. Nato smo pregledali mehanizme, ki so na voljo za obvladovanje teh konceptov. To so razvojno okolje, shranjevanje podatkov, grafični vmesniki, procesi v ozadju, povezovanje s strojno opremo in drugi. Razvili smo tudi prototip aplikacije za informatizacijo potnih nalogov na obeh platformah. Po predstavitvi same aplikacije smo pripravili še poglavji z implementacijo. V zadnjem poglavju smo zbrali rezultate primerjave.In this diploma work we looked at current mobile platforms for the development of business applications. These are used on smart phones, as well as on medium performance phones. We explained what a smart phone is and what its characteristics are. We presented the Windows Mobile in Android platform in greater detail, because they were used in the practical part of the diploma work. We also presented areas, which a business application developer for mobile platforms encounters. Then we took a look at the mechanisms, which are available for handling these concepts. These include a development environment, data storage, graphical interfaces, backgrounds processes, hardware access and others. We developed a prototype application on both platforms, which offers IT support for travel orders. After the presentation of the application there are 2 chapters about software implementation. We have collected the results of the comparison in the last chapter
