Smart Devices API

This documentation is valid for:

This document is the API specification for Smart Devices development provided by GeneXus platform.

Smart Devices have powerful hardware and operating systems. You can take advantage of its features by using External Objects and Procedure Objects, both packaged in a GeneXus's built-in module. Also, you can create your own set of APIs and easily integrate them in your Knowledge Base.

Warning: GeneXus's built-in module is available as of GeneXus 15. Previous versions of GeneXus have a subset of these APIs in the SmartDevicesApi folder (automatically imported when a Smart Device object is created).

External Objects are not the only alternative that allows integration with other device's features. Take a look at Domains with Special Semantics, User Controls and Extension Library concept.
