WEBIDE – Turning on the “Frame” for Testing

Well, in my eternal quest for new things, UI5 has been my latest objective.  the SAP WebIDE is a pretty nice tool.  I’ve been taking a couple of OpenSAP courses, and one of them showed how you could use a QR code to get the app on my phone for testing.  Naturally, I thought that sounded awesome.  The problem was, I didn’t have a button for the QR code (or all the other options shown in the demo).  I started looking around on Google, and didn’t find anything.  Naturally, I assumed I must need to install something else…  So I found the Hybrid Application Toolkit for SAP (HAT) for short, and wasted an incredible amount of time..  more on that another time.  But still nothing.  Here I come to find out, it was an option within the WEB IDE, I just never pressed the right button.  I thought I’d share it you, in case you ever need to find it.

Once you have your app within the WEB IDE, right click on your project and choose the menu path, Run Configurations

From there, make sure you select preview with Frame and save.

Now you will get the cool frame bar (which has demonstrated that my navigation isn’t working right on my phone.  Oh well, more tweaking 🙂
