Mobile Development Kit (MDK) is an SAP technology that allows developers to create mobile applications quickly and easily. With MDK, you can create native mobile apps for iOS and Android devices using a drag-and-drop interface and a set of pre-built templates. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the steps involved in creating an MDK app in the SAP BTP Mobile Services Cockpit.
Step 1: Log in to the SAP BTP Mobile Services Cockpit
The first step in creating an MDK app is to log in to the SAP BTP Mobile Services Cockpit. This is the central management console for SAP mobile services and provides a web-based interface for configuring and managing your mobile apps.
Step 2: Create a new MDK app
Once you’ve logged in to the SAP BTP Mobile Services Cockpit, navigate to the "Mobile Development Kit" tab. From here, click on the "New" button to create a new MDK app.
Step 3: Select the platform and template
In the "New App" dialog box, you’ll need to select the platform and template for your app. You can choose from iOS or Android as the platform and select a template that best suits your needs. There are several templates available, including a blank template, a list template, a form template, and more.
Step 4: Customize your app
Once you’ve selected your template, you can begin customizing your app by adding screens, actions, and other features. You can drag and drop elements onto the canvas to create your app. You can also customize the look and feel of your app by selecting colors, fonts, and other design elements.
Step 5: Add data sources
To add data sources to your app, click on the "Data Sources" tab and select the type of data source you want to add (such as OData or REST). You can then configure the data source by entering the URL, authentication details, and other settings.
Step 6: Preview your app
Once you’ve added all the necessary screens, actions, and data sources, you can preview your app on a mobile device. To do this, click on the "Preview" button and scan the QR code using your mobile device. This will allow you to test your app and make any necessary changes before deploying it.
Step 7: Deploy your app
If everything looks good, you can then deploy your app to the SAP BTP Mobile Services server. To do this, click on the "Deploy" button and follow the instructions. This will package your app and upload it to the server, where it can be accessed by your users.
Step 8: Distribute your app
Finally, you can distribute your app to your users. You can do this by publishing your app to the App Store or Google Play, or by distributing the app directly to your users. You can also use the SAP Mobile Secure service to manage the distribution of your app and ensure that it is secure and compliant.
In conclusion, creating an MDK app in the SAP BTP Mobile Services Cockpit is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. By following these steps, you can create a native mobile app for iOS or Android devices that is customized to your specific needs and can be deployed to your users quickly and easily.
