Developing Using Adobe Flex 7.3

7.3 Developing Using Adobe Flex

This section describes the necessary developments in the Adobe Flex

environment, including the creation of the basic structure (project

files and creating components), design of the application, develop-

ment of the Planning and Time-Recording components, and the

reporting analysis using Flex charts. The section concludes with a

final test.

AdvantageDevelopment in Adobe Flex Builder can be conducted outside of the

SAP environment, provided the interface has been defined. This is a

decisive advantage over traditional BSP applications that presenttheir data on the basis of HTML.

7.3.1 Project Structure of the Application Front End

We will develop the front end of the planning and time-recording

tool in Adobe Flex Builder 2. Once you have started Flex Builder, you

can use a very powerful Eclipse-based development environment.

Project filesIn the first step, we must define the necessary files for our project.

The project contains the Flex project, including the MXML applica-

tion, the associated MXML components, and the ActionScript files

that are to contain the application logic.

You can start Adobe Flex Builder from the Windows Start menu.

Usually it is installed in Start Programs Adobe Adobe FlexBuilder. Once you have successfully started Adobe Flex Builder, you

can create a new project via the following menu path: File New

Flex Project (see Figure 7.50).

Note

Appendix A contains the complete code listings of the files described in

this chapter. You can also download these listings from the web site that

accompanies this book on http://www.sap-press.com.

Developing a Sample Application7

Selecting theFlex server

A dialog opens in which you can make the necessary settings for theproject (see Figure 7.51). In the first step, you must select the Flex

server on which you want to create the application.

Figure 7.51 Selecting the Flex Server

ActionScript folder Having created the project, you can now begin developing. But first

we'll create some more files in order to define the basic structure ofthe application.

Figure 7.53 Assigning a Project Name

Figure 7.54 Creating Directories


11/28

217


Right-click on the project name and selectNewFolder from the con-

text menu to create a new folder (see Figure 7.55). We create the

folder as for our project. This folder is supposed to contain the

ActionScript files.

Creating theMXML files

The src directory that we defined during creation of the project

already contains the file Z_DZT_BOOK.mxml, which is the main page of

the application. The main pageand only the main pagecontains

the tag including the associated namespace decla-

ration.

Because our application will consist of several sub-sections it makes

sense to separate those sub-sections into individual MXML compo-

nents. We will now create the following files one after the other.

plan.mxml

report.mxml

tabcontrol.mxml

tr.mxml

To do that, you must right-click on the src button and selectMXML

Component. The project directory should now look like the one

shown in Figure 7.56.

Figure 7.55 Creating a New Folder

ActionScript files The as directory in which we want to store the ActionScript files is

defined in a similar manner. For our application, you need the fol-

lowing files.

application.as

plan.as

global.as

report.as

tr.as

The final project directory has the structure shown in Figure 7.57.

7.3.2 Basic Structure of the Frontend

TabstripsWe want to implement the functionality of the sample applicationusing tabstrips. That is to say, we will display the Planning, Time

Recording, and Reportingfunctions in separate tabs. Tabstrips pro-

vide a very useful technique for displaying many pieces of informa-

tion clearly on one page.

The main page is divided into the login section and the tabstrips that

are stored in the file tabcontrol.mxml. Figure 7.58 shows the logical

structure of the file.

You can implement this rough structure in MXML, as shown in List-

ing 7.31. To include this source text in the application, change from

the Design view into the Source view.

report.mxml

well as the label defined in the tabcontrol.mxml file (Planning Man-

ager).

Listing 7.33 shows the complete file tabcontrol.mxml. The file con-

tains a short script section that can receive data from the main appli-

cation and distribute this data across the components. We'll describe

this process in more detail later in this chapter.

Listing 7.33 File tabcontrol.mxml

Now that you have defined the basic structure of the application, you

can use it for your further development work.

7.3.3 Developing the Planning Component

Both the planning and time-recording components are referred to as

recording components. This section describes step by step how you

can present the planning component and integrate it with the backend, while Section 7.3.4 describes the same procedure for the time-

recording component.

Structure ofthe planning

component

We want to structure the planning component in such a way that you

can enter planning data on the left-hand side and display the data on

the right-hand side. Our goal is to design the layout of the planning

component so that it looks like the one shown in Figure 7.60.


17/28

223


Layoutcomponents

As a rule, Flex positions individual components below each other

when they are integrated into the layout. To avoid this, you must

encapsulate components in layout areas: and .

The HBox component groups elements at the horizontal level, while

the VBox component groups them at a vertical level.

As you can see in Figure 7.60, the planning component is divided

into two areas: the area on the left is used to enter data, while the

area on the right outputs data. Both areas are separated by a

tag.

The necessary fields for data entry are the Planning Entries label, the

input fields, and the Submit button, all of which must be displayed

one above the other. For this purpose, the elements on the left must

be subdivided in a tag. The same holds true for the right-

hand side that consists of the month, a table, and two buttons. List-

ing 7.34 shows the structure with these layout elements.

Figure 7.60 Layout of the Planning Component


18/28

224


Listing 7.34 Layout Elements of File plan.mxml

Left-Hand Side of the Planning Component

You can now add functional elements to the two sides. Once you

have defined the function module for adding planning data (see Sec-

tion 7.2.3), the personnel number, date, and activity are required.

The personnel number is defined during the login process so that the

user only needs to select a date and an activity.

For this purpose, Flex provides a simple technique to integrate the

so-calledform elements: the tag. The tag is sub-divided into separate tags that contain the actual ele-

ments. This enables a structured distribution of the components.

The following are required for the planning component.

The component is used to list the activities as a

drop-down list.

The component provides a convenient way to

integrate a date.

The component will present the Submit of the plan-

ning component.

Listing 7.35 shows the tag of the planning component.


19/28

225


Listing 7.35 Form Elements of the Planning Component

FormItem ActivityThe first FormItem element is used to display the activity and con-

tains the corresponding label. The required property indicates

whether the item is a mandatory field.

The FormItem element itself contains the ComboBox that is supposed

to display the activities. The activities originate in the back end and

are transferred to the front end using the data.xml file. The dataPro-vider property is responsible for filling the ComboBox with data. This

property will be described in greater detail later on in this chapter.

It is important that you set the labelField property in order to indi-

cate which element of the XML structure you want to display.

FormItem DateThe second FormItem element displays the date and is also assigned

the required property. The FormItem is also assigned the tag as a child, and this in turn is assigned an ID and a label-

Function. labelFunction enables you to format a date according to

your requirements prior to displaying it. The df_convert() function

is implemented later in the global.as file.

The DateField is a component that consists of an input field and a

button that resembles a small calendar. If you click on this button, a

calendar opens that facilitates the entry of the date (see Figure 7.61).

Note

The required property is merely a display variant and displays a red

asterisk (*) next to the field. It does not check whether the field was actu-

ally filled with data.


20/28

226


FormItem Button To transfer the user entries to the back end, you need a button. This

button is integrated using the third FormItem element, and it con-

tains the tag. You can assign to this tag an eventin this

case it is the system eventclickthat anticipates a function being

processed. The add_planning() function that this event receives will

become part of the file plan.as.

The planning code defined in this way has the layout shown in Fig-

ure 7.62.

Right-Hand Side of the Planning Component

Integrating tables The right-hand side of the planning component is used to display the

user entries in a table that covers one month. In Flex, you can inte-grate tables using the tag. Usually, the tables are auto-

matically assigned the table headers.

Two buttons are created that enable forward and backward naviga-

tion between the individual months, as shown in Figure 7.63.

As mentioned earlier in this chapter, the elements are encapsulated

in a tag in order to position them one above the other.

However, the VBox element contains other HBox elements for a hori-

zontal display of the month and the two buttons.

Figure 7.61 Easy Input in the DateField

Figure 7.62 Layout of the Form Tag


21/28


22/28

228


You can correct the column names using the tag that

contains the child elements . The tags are

assigned the properties headerText (column name) and dataField

(displayed element). The column names are defined as follows: Date,

Activity, and Closed.Forward/Back-ward buttons

The two buttons that are supposed to enable the navigation between

the months are encapsulated in a element that is assigned

the attribute horizontalGap, which indicates the spacing between

the individual elements of the HBox.

Both buttons are assigned the click event, including a correspond-

ing function. The button_click function receives the month that is

currently being processed as well as the direction in which the user

wants to navigate.

Implementing the Logic

Now that you have implemented the layout elements of the applica-

tion, you can assign logic to them. To enable the adding, reading out,

and display of planning data and activities, you must fill the data-

Provider of each corresponding component with data. You can do

that using ActionScript functions (implemented in global.as and

plan.as) and the element.

IntegratingXML files

To integrate an XML file that is located on the server, you need the

tag. Because three different XML files must be

processed in the planning component, you must integrate three tags correspondingly:
