application.newwindow() work in DS on mobile

[james_batchelor2]

Gurus,

I have done some digging around...

I built a DS app...with some basic drill down etc...

To get a better report, I decided to create a jump from DS (1.3sp2) to a Webi.  (BI4.1sp4)

I was able to get everything working via the web browser for DS and the Webi.

However, changing this over to use the Mobile App (which is goal) so far has left me puzzled.

I can execute the Webi report on the mobile device (android/iOS) no problem..used the trick to get the sapbi:// url via emailing the link.

clicking the mobile link via mobile email client, launched SAPBI mobile/correct report so the URL works...but

When i drop this MobileBI url in the openNewWindow function in DS, the Mobile DS app, refuses to do anything. no error..nothing.

I also tried the standard OpenDocument address to see if the mobile browser would fire off.  Nope.

In fact dropping www.google.com  gets nowhere.

an undocumented feature that is now corrected? 

thanks

Hi,

as in 1.5 the expected behavior in bi mobile should be:

http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AAD15/en/ds_15_user_en.pdf

32.1.13 Open New Window (openNewWindow)

-> This method does not open in a new window with SAP BusinessObjects Mobile 4.1 (navigation continues in the same window).

AS far I can see, this behavior is already documented in 1.3 release.

You are saying, it is not working at all?

Thanks,

I read through that guide..along with other DS guides..

Not sure how it can stay in same window on Mobile if you fire off http://www.google.com (as an example)

I would expect the default browser to open the URL just like it does for the browser executed app.

I was able to launch the sapbi:// link to the webi from outside the mobileapp (via email client on android)...but that same URL within the openNewWindow() from DS... nothing happens. 

My first thought was this is an Android issue...because I have seen Webi issues on Android that do not happen on iOS.

Checking on iOS...same thing..nothing happens. 

I have not dug through OSS yet..  thought I would throw this out here first to see if it is me.

thanks!

I did find a note..relating to <1.3 Design Studio...

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2017968

It just states it will be corrected in 1.3 sp0 patch 1 or sp1.
