I’m need to do a app with this requirements:
-Remote Database connection
-Full Screen
-Some widgets must to update in real time
I’m thinking that it can’t do with a web framework because I need a Full screen dedicated app maybe I’m wrong…
Somebody knows what GUI framework is best-suited (Well Documented, samples) for Scala?
and
Is there a way to do a full screen app with Play 2/Scala?
Thanks in advance.
Chris.
Edit: The App must be a Kiosk like App (w/touchscreen)
Full screen would most definitely be handled client-side. This answer demonstrates how to make a window full screen. Using that, you most definitely could use Play! (or any other web framework, or no framework at all). If you’re most comfortable with web programming, this might be the way to go.
Since you mention a GUI application, I imagine you’re not just making a normal web site that you want full screen – that is considered bad design practice. However, for a terminal of some sort, that would work well for you.
If you’d prefer to deploy an application for clients to run, check out Scala’s Swing libraries. There are plenty of examples online and in Martin Odersky’s Programming Scala book.
