Mobile development framework and tools partnerships


SAP use-cases that shall leverage

3rd party frameworks and tools

Use-Case 1: Quick ramp-up with oData

Provide developers with a quick ramp up to building mobile applications that access SAP business data

(oData). We want developers to have the simplest and optimal end-to-end experience in building

applications that use SAP.

Use-Case 2: Enabling applications with PUSH notification

The developer wants to support push notifications generated by SAP business processes and delivered to

mobile applications across the full range of devices. SUP’s push framework and API shall be leveraged to

enable this capability.

Use-Case 3: Enabling development of mCommerce based mobile solutions with Mobiliser

Expose the Mobiliser mCommerce services to build banking and payment mobile user-experiences for

enterprise customers.

Use-Case 4: Enabling container/sandbox based approach to manage app deployment, lifecycle and

security

Enterprise wants to be enabled to deploy and manage many mobile applications across devices with a

secure sandboxed approach. The API’s and capabilities of the SUP Hybrid Web Container and Server

shall be leveraged for this purpose.

Use-Case 5: Enable development of applications that require “data sync/offline”

The developer wants to build an application that requires some or all aspects of its functionality to work in

an offline mode. The developer uses the SUP MBO and its associated Object API approach to develop

this class of applications.

About Sencha frameworks and tools

Sencha is the leader for cross-platform web development platform (tooling and client

runtime) which extends HTML5 to produce native-like rich user experiences

SAP is partner with Sencha for its mobile development framework aka Sencha Touch

2.0

Sencha has two products 1) Desktop (Sencha ExtJS) and 2) mobile (Sencha Touch 2)

Sencha Touch is a run-time framework library

Sencha Designer 2 (beta) is a visual application builder that allows developers to build

mobile web apps using Sencha Touch 2

Sencha Touch 2.0

It uses JavaScript for application logic and HTML5/CSS3 for UI/presentation layer

It leverages on-device HTML5 runtime (browser/embedded WebViews) for rendering

Key characteristics of Sencha Touch based mobile applications

Follows an MVC based development paradigm

Native SDK integration is provided by an integrated Sencha native packaging or 3rd party

hybrid containers such as PhoneGap

Support for new/custom data models can be exposed through additional plugins


Use-Case 1:

Quick ramp-up with odata app with Sencha is easy ...

1 Just use Sencha and maybe a REST proxy to do whatever you want to do

2

Use an Odata proxy to load your model or store. The Odata proxy knows

how to interact with the Odata feed. This way it’s up to the developer how

they use the proxy and the way they fill the store etc.

3

Use an Odata store/model that underneath uses an Odata proxy. This way

you don’t bother so much with the proxy, but let the store implementation

handle the low level stuff


Just using an OData proxy ...

Use a proxy with the model

Create the store

... Or with a store


... Or by extending a store/model

Load the store

Create your model

Define your store’s OData properties


An SAP oData - Sencha App …


What is Appcelerator’s Titanium?

Supports development of mobile applications across multiple channels (native, hybrid

web and mobile web)

SAP partnered with Appcelerator’s for leadership in developing cross platform mobile

apps with “Native User Experience”

Two products; Titanium SDK and Titanium Studio

The Titanium SDK provides a JavaScript API that enables developers to build fully native

mobile applications for iOS and Android as well as mobile web applications for mobile

browsers

Titanium Studio is an Eclipse-based IDE that provides everything developers need to build,

debug, test and deploy their mobile applications

Key characteristics of Titanium based mobile applications

Developers write application in “JavaScript”

Look and feel is native

Responsiveness like native

Leverage all platform capabilities

Per platform customization possible from the same code base
