Well, after finishing the class on building a cloud application in HCP, they briefly touched on converting that into a mobile app. So, of course I’m intrigued and I have to learn how to do that. Luckily for me, OpenSAP has another course on doing just that. It’s from 2015, but I’m guessing most of the skills will still apply today. Yesterday, I started going through the preparation phase. Holy Snikies!!!! I probably spent about 4 hours last night installing all the different pieces of software and trying to get everything connected properly (and I’m still not done). I have a feeling there are a lot of the pieces that will only be used if I want to do native apps, but in reality, I only care about the new hybrid apps.
If you aren’t familiar, hybrid apps are SAP’s new concept that allows an application to be run on the Hana Cloud Platform, the Fiori Launchpad, and then ultimately it can be converted to run as a stand-alone application. This obviously has huge appeal to me because I want off-line capabilities in some of my applications, as well as access to photos/camera and possibly even GPS. Supposedly, this is all possible in the hybrid apps, so stay tuned as I figure out the next evolution.
