Usage of Kapsel plugins in standard Fiori apps

Hello Experts,

While it is a fact that the SAP Fiori Client is a Cordova application with some extra caching capabilities and provides things like integration with device capabilities like camera, contacts etc., we are looking to find out if any of the 300+ standard available SAP Fiori apps make use any of these features like Barcode Scanner, Encrypted Storage and so on.

Can any one provide any inputs in this regard?

Regards,

Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

As of now the Fiori client don't support these features by default. But this are expected in the future release.

Please find the blog below. Also another option TechEd is running these days - It might be possible to get hold of someone from SAP to find out the roadmap details.

Hello Vivek,

Thanks for your response!

I checked the blog by John Wargo you mentioned. There he mentions that


While the initial version of the SAP Fiori Client didn’t have any device capabilities, future versions will add Cordova plugins that will provide Fiori applications with access to mobile-specific features like the camera, contacts, geolocation and more.

While I checked that SAP Fiori Client version 1.1.8 is the currently available version for Android, does it mean that as of this version also the features to access device specific capabilities are still not available in the Fiori Client?

Saurabh

It is also possible using the SAP Mobile SDK to run a script that creates the SAP Fiori Client.  You can then add plugins to it or examine the list of plugins that are added by default to it by running cordova plugins.  Further instructions and the list of plugins added by default is shown in this document.

In addition, if you wish to modify a Fiori App, one way to do that would be to use the SAP Web IDE.  There is more information on this at
