Is there any possibility to maintain one application for both iPhone & Android mobile devices???

[Former Member]

Hi,

First I will explain the scenario which we are currently on,

There was a requirement for developing Design Studio Dashboards for Apple & Android Devices. I have developed one for iPhone & one for Android Mobile devices (irrespective of their brands). I am able to visualize these dashboards on respective devices.

Now, I will come to the point that, Why I have developed a separate application for Android Devices???

I tried to use the same application for iPhone in Android devices & vice versa, but it is not properly fitting into the screen.

Question 1: Is there any possibility that one application developed can be used both in iPhone & Android mobile devices

Question 2: Is there any possibility that one application developed can be used both in iPad & Android Tablets

What we are planning is to maintain 3 different applications in the server:

1. one for Desktop
2. one for Tablets
3. one for Mobile devices

Can anybody help me in this.....

Hello Arun,

sounds like you want to be able to have different type of layouts based on possible screen resolution and device type (desktop vs mobile).

Take a look here:

Hi Ingo,

Thanks for sharing the post.

This is what really I am looking for

I want to know, is this component available with DS 1.6, if so where I can find the same in the DS.

Hello Arun,

this is part of our Extensions for Design Studio. Its not part of standard Design Studio.

Hi Arun,

when you build a mobile app and use pixel-design (all components have width and height set to concrete pixel values) the app will run on all mobile devices, but will not resize.

in standard...

you can build a mobile app and set some components to width "auto" - then those will fill in the rest of the space in different devices. of course the same for height, the last row of components should be set on "auto" to assure they will be resized.

in scn community...

you can find some components like or which will help you to re-layout on size changes. those are available for free in the community package.

Why aren't you using auto width/height for your application framework? That way it will resize to the edges of the screen of any device. I don't see why the split would be iOS vs Android, as there are different iPhone sizes and different Android device sizes.

Assuming you are on Design Studio 1.6 you could try the SAPUI5 m library discussed by Mustafa here:

Also assuming you are using the SAP Mobile BI applications (both iOS and Android) you may want to consider this:

Thanks Tammy,

I think this is the answer to my question. But I have to investigate more on this with the tool then only I can check how this is going to work.

Right now we are on SAP DS 1.5, so will check on it after installing the same.
