Generally discussed herein are techniques, software, apparatuses, and systems configured for presenting information to a user through multiple primary user interfaces. In one or more embodiments, a method can include providing first data to a first primary user interface that causes the first primary user interface to provide a first view of an application state of a software application, providing second data to a second primary user interface that causes the second primary user interface to provide a second view of the application state, changing the application state to a new application state, and in response to changing the application state, providing data to the first and second view modules so as to cause the first primary user interface to provide a first view of the new application state and the second primary user interface to provide a second view of the new application state.

Multiple primary user interfaces

Generally discussed herein are techniques, software, apparatuses, and systems configured for application development for an application using multiple primary user interfaces. In one or more embodiments, a method can include receiving data indicating a plurality of workflow activities to be used in an application, each of the workflow activities including data corresponding to a configuration of a view model module and a list of views to be associated with the configuration, receiving data indicating a plurality of primary user interface views to associate with each of the workflow activities, receiving data indicating a connection between two of the workflow activities of the plurality of workflow activities, and producing an application model based on the received data indicating the plurality of workflow activities, the data indicates the connection between two of the workflow activities and the data indicating the plurality of primary user interface views.

Application development using multiple primary user interfaces

Generally discussed herein are techniques, software, apparatuses, and systems configured for managing a navigation stack of an application including multiple primary user interfaces (UIs). In one or more embodiments, a method can include providing data to multiple primary UIs that causes each of the multiple primary UIs to present a view of a plurality of views of an application state of the software application, receiving data indicating the application state of the application has changed, and pushing a workflow activity of the application onto a navigation stack, wherein each workflow activity includes data corresponding to a configuration of a view model module and a list of views associated with the configuration, the view model module provides the data that causes the plurality of views to be presented on the multiple primary UIs in response to the configuration being loaded on in the view model module.

Stack handling using multiple primary user interfaces

A method includes detecting an event published to a workflow activity by a voice based dialog view, wherein the event indicates a state of asset retrieval, navigating to a built-in asset retrieval work activity, retrieving an asset, and dismissing the workflow activity to revert to a workflow activity associated with the voice based dialog view.

Voice mode asset retrieval

A system has a domain expert component library stored on a computer readable storage device, the component library containing connectable components that create a mobile workflow based application; a domain expert user interface coupled to the domain expert component library to facilitate assembly of components in a workflow sequence; and a developer user interface coupled to: receive an intermediate representation of a workflow application based on the workflow sequence, and provide a software programming language environment to perform data manipulation changes to the intermediate representation to create the mobile workflow based application.
