Running a webdynpro application on mobile device

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have a webdynpro application that works fine on the end user pc.

I would like to know what is the procedure to make this application run on a mobile device as it is.

Will all Ui element be presented ?

And will I need to set up something in the server in order to allow cellular communication?

Will I need to download something on the mobile device?

Will I need to add some thing to my current application in order to make it work as mobile?

Do any of u have some experience with that kind of procedure ?

Thanks

Hi

Thank u all for replies.

What I understand is that I will have to adjust my current application UI in order for it to feet the mobile device.

My problem is that I don't want to change the UI because I have users working with this application for more then a year

with the gui as it is.

Can any of u suggest a solution for using the same application both for mobile and pc's without damaging ones UI?

Thanks

The only solution is to create another view in the same application (which means "modyfing" the UI) and to navigate using the url parameter.

Hi,

All the UI elements are not supported by Mobile devices.Have a look on spporting UI elements.

Hi Aviad

Thank u for your answer.

I would like to know if have any experience with WD mobile in Israel?

If u do , did u develop the application for a mobile device or is it being user by pc's also?

Is it all only about adding a parameter to the url, or r there any other installations or adjustments that will have to be made?

I understand from u that I might have to adjust the ui , I am afraid it will change the ui for my pc users.

Thanks

Hi,

I have done some POCs to several potenial clients.

You also have to remember that any solution using WD (and not MI) is only an online solution.

The big advantage is that you don't need any installtion on the client mobile device.

You should seperate the mobile solution from the standard one.

Hi,

You might need to change the UI layering (Due to the measurements of the mobile device).

You can use url parameters to define mobile access -

?sap-wd-client=PieClient ...for Pocket PC in general

?sap-wd-client=Pie03Client ...for Pocket PC2003 and above

?sap-wd-client=WmlClient ...for RIM BlackBerry

?sap-wd-client=NokiaS80Client ...for Nokia Communicator 9300/9500

See note 930757

Hello Aviad,

Is there a way to add those URL parameters from the application code?

I mean, not manually to the browser´s navigation bar.

After a browser detection mechanism, is there a Java function that can add

the sap-wd-client parameter to the URL?

Thanks in advance.
