Customizing Generated Code

Modify generated JavaScript code to customize the Hybrid App.

  1. Use the Hybrid App Package Generation wizard to generate the Hybrid App package and its files.
    When the Hybrid App package is generated, the Custom.js file is generated if not already present in the project. The Custom.js file is located in Generated Hybrid App\<hybridapp_project_name>\html\js.
  2. Right-click the Custom.js file and select the editor in which to open the file.
  3. Modify the JavaScript code in the file or add your own code.
  4. Save and close Custom.js.
    Since Custom.js is generated only if it is not already present in the Hybrid App project, it is not created again if you subsequently generate the Hybrid App package. In this way, your customizations are preserved.
  5. Deploy the Hybrid App package to SAP Mobile Server.
    Any time you customize the code, you must redeploy the Hybrid App package to SAP Mobile Server.
    You can also add your own separate JavaScript files to Generated Hybrid Apps\hybridapp_project_name\html\js, then add custom code to the Custom.js file that calls the functions in the JavaScript files you added. Modularizing your custom code can prevent the Custom.js file from becoming too long, and make it easier for multiple developers to collaborate on the same Hybrid App.
