Caesar’s Photobook – An JavaFX Mobile Application

For my graduation project, I was asked to investigate the possibility of the new RIA platform of Sun Microsystems called JavaFX.

To have a good view of it’s possibilities I thought I could better just try it out! Therefore I’ve developed two applications. The last application is a mobile application, which I’ve also developed to compete in the JavaFX Coding Challenge.

Here’s a list of functionalities of the application:
* Starting the application in the mobile emulator,
* Parsing the album and photo data from the xml files into the data model
* Easy navigation between screens
* Showing albums, with a cover, title, caption, owner and number of items.
* Showing thumbnail images, after an album is selected.
* Showing the full image, after a thumbnail is selected.
* Scrolling up and down
* Landscape View, when an album is loaded the user can flip the screen to enter the Landscape View of a photo.
* When switching between views (normal or landscape) the photo is automatically resized to maintain the aspects ratio.
* Navigation now supports touch and keys
* When navigating albums or thumbnails the current selection is shown
* Auto Scroll when navigating outside the screen
* Slide Show, When viewing a photo in full size, the user can start the slide show by tapping on the right button or using the right soft key.
* When viewing a photo in full size the user can hide and show the buttons and header, by tapping once on the screen or pressing the Enter key.
* When viewing a photo in full size the user can slide left-to-right and vice versa for showing the next or previous photo. Same can be accomplished using the navigation keys.
