Hybrid App Development Task Flow With the Designer

Developing a Hybrid App includes these basic tasks.

  1. Open or import a mobile application project with predefined mobile business objects (MBOs).
  2. Deploy the Mobile Application Project:

    b. On the Target Server page, select the server and connect to it.

    c. On the Server Connection Mapping page, map the database connection profile to the server.

  3. Create the application connection in SAP Control Center.
    Note: This step is normally performed by the system administrator.
  4. Use the Hybrid App Designer to create a new Hybrid App.
    Note: Optionally, you can create a Hybrid App manually, however, using the Hybrid App Designer, automates many tasks and provides integration across different device platforms.
  5. Use the Hybrid App Designer to generate screens by dragging and dropping MBOs and MBO operations from WorkSpace Navigator to the Flow Design page.
  6. Create, delete, and edit screens, controls, menus, screen navigations, and so on.
  7. Generate the Hybrid App files.
  8. (Optional) Customize the generated Custom.js file.
  9. (Optional) If you customize the Hybrid App files, re-generate an repackage the files.
  10. Deploy the Hybrid App package to SAP Mobile Server.
  11. Install and configure the Hybrid Web Container on the device or simulator.
  12. In SAP Control Center, assign the Hybrid App to the device user.
  13. On the device or simulator, run, test and debug the Hybrid App.
