Hi Ranjit,

You have two options:

1. If you deploy a UI5-App on a NetWeaver AS or a Java-Webserver, you can access it via HTTP like any other web-application from your mobile device.

2. If you want to deliver a real app (in case of Android an apk-file) and maybe use some mobile-device functionality like the camera, you can check out the following part of the official documentation: Running SAPUI5 Mobile Apps in Hybrid Web Containers.

Besides, look at this discussion for more information: Packaging a sapui5 app with phonegap.

Regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the help.

Out of the two options u have mentioned above, I am more interested in the first. Can u please elaborate on the steps to deploy the web-application on the java server. I am using eclipse Luna.

Just have a look at the following blog post: How to install a basic development environment for SAPUI5.

Step 4 and 5 will help you further. At the end of the article you will learn, how you can deploy a SAPUI5-application on a tomcat server.

After deploying the app successfully on the server, you can access it via your mobile phone. A prerequisite is, however, that your mobile phone is in the same network like your server. This is especially critical in company networks. In this case, you can use a VPN to solve this problem.

To be more precise my requirement is that I need to give only a url of my developed web applicationto the client who will access it through his mobile.

What phonegap does is it gives me back an .apk file.

Go for SAP HANA Cloud Platform

Hi All.

I have a SAP UI5 Application designed in HANA Studio (HANA Server) which contains few XSJS(ajax) & XSODATA services. Now I want to access this Application on Mobile devices - Android/Windows/iOS.

How can same be achieved.

How can I move my application to SAP HCP as I am using HANA Database also in application.

Thanks,
