Retrieving URL of running Fiori application

[andrevan_staden]

Hi,

We have some contents that is stored relative to the root URL of the running Fiori application.   When the application is launched form the Fiori launchpad, the URL visible is that of the launchpad and not that of the application itself. How do I get the actual application URL so that I can create the URL of the contents that I want to display.?

Is there a API available to do this or is it something that is not supported out of the box?

Thanks

Thanks Masa, Pankaj.

You can get the app module path by way of 

     jQuery.sap.getModulePath("xxxxxxxxxxxx").

in this case something like

     sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/xxxxxxxxxxxx/....

As we have to display items relative to this path the semantic object path does not give us the correct root to the module.  Luckily we came across the jQuery extension in which SAP addresses the problem for us.

Hi Andre,

Wave2 apps runs with Launchpad.You will only get the app URl via the semantic object and the action on the semantic object as Masa mentioned.

For e.g. in case of Timesheet App the semantic object is TimeEntry and action is Create(CreateTimeEntry) so the app URL will be.

http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-client=001&sap-language=EN#TimeEntry-createTimeEntry

Hi Andre,

Are you going to develop some custom app?

In that case, you need to define semantic object.
