Development Environments for Mobile Applications

Mobile applications consist of a client-part and a server-part that are developed independently using specialized tools.

The client-part is developed in Java on your local PC using any Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java. While SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is the recommendet IDE for mobile applications on MI, any other Java IDE like Eclipse or Borland Jbuilder could in principal be used also.

If the server-part of the mobile application runs on an SAP system, the server-side language will be ABAP. SAP provides specialized tools like the MI Wizard and the SyncBO Builder that generate most of the server-side code. If modifications or enhancements to the generated code are required, standard tools like the SAP Object Navigator (transaction SE80) or the Business-Add-In Builder (transaction SE18) can be used.
