Hiker Application Framework™
For mobile Linux® developers, the presentation and handling of applications presents a significant challenge compared to the PC desktop. User expectations are vastly different, in part because screen size, and keyboard are all more constricted. These factors, in turn, affect how applications are installed, displayed, launched and exited, as well as how the applications themselves share data and are notified of events.
For all of this, Linux alone is not enough, which is why ACCESS has created an Application Framework specifically for mobile devices—the Hiker Application Framework™. The Hiker Application Framework is a key component of the ACCESS Linux Platform™. ACCESS has open sourced the Hiker Application Framework.
The ACCESS Linux Platform is the first complete, commercial-grade Linux platform for mobile phones and converged devices. Based on a standard Linux kernel and other open source components, the ACCESS Linux Platform includes all the middleware services required to build state-of-the-art mobile phones and converged devices. As its name implies, the Hiker Application Framework encompasses those services specifically related to applications.
