APEX 18.1 UT Touch Gestures Fix

-

If you tried using the build-in Touch Gestures (hamer.js) of APEX 18.1 Universal Theme on your Android device (or Chrome Device Simulation Tool on your desktop), you might have noticed the Swipe and Pan doesn’t work. Here’s how to fix this: add an on-load Dynamic Action and execute this JS snippet:



delete Hammer.defaults.cssProps.userSelect;
Hammer(document.body, {});


 (many thanks to Shakeeb)
P.S: You can try/test the Touch Gestures in the Universal Theme Reference Application

Remember Me - APEX Autologin

I promised to publish about this subject to one of the attendees during my presentation at KScope 12 in San Antonio. I used this functionality in my demo application ( FifApex ) and it seems there is interest in how to do this. Most of the public websites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Amazon or OTN do have it: an option to stay logged in, even if you closed the browser, so you do not have to authenticate each time you visit the site again. I’m pretty used to it and would be surprised if a website didn’t offer this convenient feature. OK, it’s not entirely secure, but, as I said, very convenient. I’m working on a “consumer” site/application, I’m building it with APEX and I want to offer this “remember me” option too. I knew an APEX based website that does offer this feature ( www.plsqlchallenge.com ) and I had a chat with the developer that implemented it’s login mechanism, Paul Broughton from Apex Evangelists . So, here my thanks to him for the original inspiration.   Oracle

Tabular Forms on Complex Views - using INSTEAD OF Triggers

Creating tabular forms in Apex is relative straight forward. One gets fully generated, instant insert/update/delete functionality. Unfortunately (for the form developer), tables are usually part of a more or less complex data model, which is optimized for data storage, rather then for form-layout. Well, Apex offers some possibilities to the developer to enable tabular forms beyond 1:1 table based. Collections One alternative is to create your tabular form using the Apex Collection API. There is a good article on Martin Giffy D'Souza’s blog describing this technique. This collection-approach basically pre-fetches data into a (PL/SQL) collection from a query/cursor. The “collected” data will be displayed in the form. An on-submit page process will store the data submitted from the form into the collection. After this you can perform some validation before submitting the data to table(s) in an on-submit page process. Database Views Well, I favor an approach that keeps the

What could be a more appropriate anniversary present than a book entirely dedicated to and based on APEX version 4? I was very much looking forward to this book release, as this is one of the first APEX 4 books and the title suggests that there will be some recipes with new feature as ingredients. Main Course In formal dining, a well-planned main course can function as a sort of gastronomic apex or climax. In such a scheme, the preceding courses are desig
