OSGi on Android - Value Proposition
Download as PPTX, PDF7 likes2,038 views
The document outlines how OSGi enhances the Android programming model by providing support for mobile web widgets, remote management capabilities, and full integration with Android apps. OSGi simplifies application lifecycle management and deployment while allowing developers to create apps without additional learning. The framework promotes innovation by enabling the addition and management of APIs and applications, making mobile handsets strategic elements in corporate IT infrastructure.
OSGi on Android - Value Proposition
- 1. Complementing Android with Mobile OSGi
- 2. OSGi complements, not competesthe Android programming model
- 3. Technical Value Add
- 4. Mobile Web Widgets1OSGi adds support for Web Widgets like JIL, Bondi, W3C, Opera, etc.Support for multiple browsers and FlashJavaScript APIs (custom APIs or enabler APIs) pluggable at any timeBest of Breed: Browser for UI Java for Business Logic
- 5. Mobile Web Widgets, cont.1Pushes the limits of web widgetsas developers can break out ofthe browser sandbox!!WebRuntimeWidgetAppWidgetAppWidgetAppTechnical Concept: Middleware components are deployed into OSGi
- 6. OSGi Services (incl. custom code) canbe auto-translated into Web Services
- 7. JavaScript APIs (i.e. wrappers for OSGi services) loadable from localhost
- 8. OSGi is fully manageable from remote (app lifecycle, diagnostics,etc)WidgetAppJSCustomAPIsJSCustomAPIsJSCustomAPIsWidgetAppJSPlatformAPIsWeb ServerCustomModuleDeployPlatformEnablers(Camera, Messaging, BT, etc.)CustomModuleCustomServiceMobile OSGi
- 9. Remote Management2OSGi adds remote Management capabilitiesto AndroidComes with fully inte-grated OMA-DM AgentEases enterprise usageof Android devicesValue add for customercare & maintenanceSupported Features:Android & OSGiAppLifecycleMgmt
- 12. AppStart/Stop
- 15. Remote Lock & Wipe
- 16. Server Initiated Session Support
- 17. Postloadof Agent possibleSupported Standards: OMA-DM 1.2
- 18. OMA-DLOTA 1.0
- 19. OSGi 4.0 MOs
- 20. SCOMO
- 21. LAWMO OSGi Programming Model3Full support for all OSGi featuresOSGi Sevices can be consumed by Android appsEvent bus integration between OSGi and AndroidOSGi has become a mainstream Javaprogramming model with a growing communityOSGi brings a huge pool of existing componentsand knowhow to the Android spaceOSGi turns Android into a true enterprise SOA
- 22. OSGi Use Case Example3OSGi simplifies implementing (Digital Life Network Alliance)Hides complex DLNA protocol behind APIOffer APIs to developers to create apps on top
- 23. OSGi Value Propositions
- 24. Proposition for Carriers and OEMsLets you & the community do more than just Apps!Opens the Platform for InnovationAdd & manage yourAPIs & Appsat any timeYou control the platformValue Add not GoogleApps&APIs
- 25. Proposition for Corporate EnterprisesEnterprises discover mobile handset as strategic elements of their IT infrastructure. However, Android does not come with all required features:OSGi provides enterprises an own remote management channel right into their applicationsOSGi adds application push deployment and lifecycle management.OSGi offers Lock& Wipe, a key requirement
- 26. Proposition for DevelopersWeb and J2EE developers become mobile developers without additional learning(due to Widget and OSGi programming models)Developers can turn Widgets into powerful localapplications with full access to all phone featuresDevelopers have control over the APIs on the device (they can add their own API at any time)Developers can reuse their existing OSGi Java assetsDevelopers can modularize their applications
- 27. What is OSGi?
- 28. OSGi: An Open Industry StandardThe Dynamic Module System for JavaTMSpecification developed by the OSGi AllianceAdopted by a rapidely growing community
- 29. OSGi: ArchitectureOSGi is a manageable component frameworkIt hosts apps, services and middlewareIt can inject functionality into the browserDeviceAvailablefor:OSGiBrowserAPIAServiceBApplicationCNative AppService & Component FrameworkOperating System & DriversHardware PlatformLoadableModule
