Developing Android ApplicationsLocate this document in the navigation structure

The OData SDK is used to develop a device application for the Android platform. An application consists of reusable building blocks, which a developer can use to start the application and perform functions needed for the application. The target audience is advanced developers who are familiar working with APIs, but who may be new to SAP Mobile Platform.

Prerequisites

Before using OData SDK for developing an Android application:

  • Verify that SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 server is installed so you can access it from your Android device.
  • Set up a gateway OData service to access the business data from the backend.
  • Ensure that you configure the gateway on SAP Mobile Platform Server as a back end by using Management Cockpit.
