The individual mobile components are:
Only devices based on Pocket PC 2003 or later are supported. Windows Mobile 5.0 is supported.
Pocket PC users require a suitable network or internet access that enables access to the SAP NetWeaver Application Server. This can be implemented using LAN, WLAN, Bluetooth, GSM, or GPRS, for example. Additional hardware is required as well as a service contract with a telecommunications provider. More information is available at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/.
For testing and developing mobile applications, the use of an emulator is recommended. You can download it at the manufacturer’s web site:
● http://www.microsoft.com/pocketpc
The emulator imitates the behavior of the mobile device. You can thus monitor and test the results of your development without actually using a mobile device for the development or testing. However, you should always test applications on a real mobile device as well.
You can use a URL parameter to force the rendering for a specific device type. To do so, add the following parameter to the URL for calling the Web Dynpro application:
sap-wd-client=PieClient
The following layouts can be used for developing mobile Web Dynpro applications:
● Flow layout
● Grid layout
● Matrix layout
For the InputField, the requestFocus() method is supported.
