Where to start for Developing Mobile Apps

101 Views

Hi Guys,

i want to build mobile apps for smartphones which will get data content from our SAP Backend.

I have experience in developing native Android apps but with SAP, i will get my first question in mind that "Where do i have to start ?".

I researched and get heard so many terms about SUP, Netweaver Gateway, OData, UI5, Cordova, Eclipse and so on.

And now im confused, i want at first really understand only which way i have to go.

Can you tell me the routes in which way i have to walk if i want to develop native apps or non-native apps which are communicate basically with my SAP backend.

Logically i can populate my RFC's as Webservices and i can communicate with them but i want to get the standard way, which is described by SAP with the terms i mentioned at start (SUP, Gateway, OData....)

And why is always in tutorials eclipse used ? is eclipse the developer platform for non native apps which is choosed by the contributers ?

Additionally what i want to know too is about the licence, can i develop apps for free or do i have to pay a fee for the development tools, mentioned above ?

I know i have so much questions but how i said im a newbie in mobile apps on SAP and so much terms are confusing. So please understand me and help me out of these siituation.

Best Regards
