Developing Mobile Applications

In Watson™ Explorer Engine, mobile extensions were designed to minimize download size, improve readability on small screens, and take advantage of features that are unique to mobile devices, such as:

• Phone numbers in search results can use the tel: protocol to initiate calls when clicked. Administrators must add custom display templates to enable this feature. See Handling Custom Protocols in a Display for more information.
• Email addresses in search results can use the mailto: protocol to launch an email client when clicked. Administrators must add custom display templates to enable this feature. See Handling Custom Protocols in a Display for more information.
• When supported by your browser, access keys allow page navigation using the cell phone keypad.
