Creating the Basic Application

Use

In this section, you create a basic application for displaying orders on a handheld device. You enhance the basic application in the subsequent sections Enhancing the Application to Display Order Items and Enhancing the Application: Data Upload and UI Clean-Up .

Process

Developing the mobile application involves three stages:

• Developing the mobile service component

  To provide the required business logic to the UI, you first create a mobile service component, into which you import data object metadata from the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE). You then create a query for reading orders from the database.

• Developing the mobile UI component

  To provide a user interface (UI) for your Mobile Application, you create a UI component, a Web Dynpro (WD) application, and WD component, apply a template to the component controller, and then design the view layout and data flow.

• Testing the mobile application

  After finishing the UI development, you can build, deploy and run the mobile application on the mobile client simulator or on a real mobile device.
