Developing with MAF Logon for Android

MAF logon components include MAF Logon UI and MAF Logon Manager, and support user onboarding.

MAF Logon UI presents logon screens on the device, providing easy integration for applications that use default logon UI behavior. MAF Logon Manager constructs UI contexts (which are, in turn, presented to the Logon UI) and executes logon operations. The Logon UI constructs a dynamic UI from the context elements presented by Logon Manager. Thus, MAF Logon Manager handles all UI-related configurations.

• Architectural Overview
  MAF includes a configurable, multipurpose onboarding component. The Logon Core is separate from the Logon UI, to support the creation of custom Logon UIs. This layer contains code to execute logon operations. The component builds on SAP Mobile Platform libraries, such as OData Connectivity, Afaria client libraries, and Client Hub libraries.
• MAF Logon Task Flow
  Create a new project or check if your existing project is configured correctly.
• Executing Logon Operations
  After you initialize the LogonUIFacade, present the MAF Logon UI screens. The LogonUIFacade interacts with MAFLogonCore components.
• Data Requests
  After you complete the registration and initialize the secure store, you can request data from the back end.
• Handling Delegate Calls
  To get callbacks from MAF logon operations, implement the LogonListener interface in your logon activity.
• Error Handling
  You can handle errors of MAF logon operations in two ways.
• Logon Configuration Options
  MAF Logon provides a default value-based configuration through the LogonUIFacade.
