SAP MDK - search filter does not work for some letters of the Czech diacritics

2025-04-26T00:33:09.789000+02:00

Hello, in SAP Asset Manager, MDK 24.4.3, the search filter (in pages like FunctionalLocationListViewPage) does not work for special Czech characters 'Č' and 'Ú'. For example, word "ústí" works OK, but "Ústí" does not.

this is in filter: `substringof('${searchString.toLowerCase()}', tolower(FuncLocDesc))`

Are there any settings or other functions so that the special characters are recognized correctly?

[MDK] CreateRelatedMedia override media property from rule not working

2025-05-29T20:28:21.183000+02:00

I am using MDK version 24.11.3-001 on Android. I have an Attachment Control where the user will be adding several images at once, then will click a Save button to upload the attachments to the backend. The backend is a v2 OData service, and I have a Media entity set that is access through a navigation path (eg /Delivery('123')/Attachment/$value).

I have a CreateRelatedMedia action to perform the upload. Once the save is complete, I would like to take another action, such as closing the page and returning to the list. Furthermore, I'd like to add a SLUG header to include the filename for each individual file in the attachment control.

To accomplish these two desires, I believe the best way would be to loop through the attachments in a rule, and execute the action by overriding the properties for each loop. The documentation indicates that the Media property should be an object with a "content" property and a "contentType" property.

    let attachments = clientAPI.evaluateTargetPath('#Page:DeliveryAttachment/#Control:FormCellAttachment0/#Value');
    let uploadPromises = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++) {
        const attachment = attachments[i];
        const content = attachment.content;
        const contentType = attachment.contentType;
        const filename = attachment.urlString;
        const actionPromise = clientAPI.executeAction({
            "Name": '/myapp/Actions/DeliveryAttachments/OData/CreateDeliveryAttachmentRelatedMedia.action',
            "Properties": {
                "Media": {
                    "content": content,
                    "contentType": contentType
                },
                "Headers": {
                    "SLUG": filename
                }         
            }
        });
        uploadPromises.push(actionPromise);        
    }
    return Promise.all(uploadPromises).then(
        () => {
            clientAPI.executeAction('/myapp/Actions/ClosePage.action')
        }
    );

I've tested this on both Web and Android and I get an exception from the MDK code (although each version throws an exception at different spots - I'm really only concerned with the Android functionality, so below I've shown the error from the Android device). I've tried several different variations of this code, so I think the code is correct, but please let me know if I've done something wrong in my code.

On the Android device, the exception is raised from node_modules/mdk-sap/ODate/crud/ODataRelatedMediaCreator.ts:

As mentioned I get a similar error in Web, although from a different place in the code.

Have I encountered an issue or is there something I'm doing wrong in the code, or should I take a completely different approach? (Note I've tried just executing the action and using the attachment control #Value in the media property, which will upload each attachment in the control - but the issue is that if I put another action in the Success Action, this success action gets executed for each attachment in the control).

Thanks!

SAP MDK Create Media action failing on IOS platform for the Attachment Control.

2025-06-09T13:16:24.201000+02:00

Hi,

I'm working with the SAP ODATA V2 API (API_CV_ATTACHMENT_SRV) to upload attachments in my MDK application. The attachment is getting uploaded on the Android device, but the same operation is failing on an iOS device. I'm using the Attachment Form Cell Control to upload the attachments, and I have created a CreateMedia OData action to handle the upload. I'm getting the below error when I try to upload an image:

I have also attached the error log details and the Create Media action details. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help.

Splash Screen - SAP BTP Mobile Service - Not Working - MDK 24.11.3

2025-07-02T17:02:19.140000+02:00

Dear SAP Community,

I am currently trying to implement the use of a Splash Screen in an application built on SAP BTP Mobile Service, but despite following all the reference documentation, I have not been able to get it to work correctly.

https://help.sap.com/doc/f53c64b93e5140918d676b927a3cd65b/Cloud/en-US/docs-en/guides/getting-started/mdk/custom-client/app-icon-splash-screen.html

I used the following configuration to set up the launcher and splash screen icons and applied it in the MDKProject.json file as instructed.

I’m using the following configuration to load the launcher and splash screen icons. I'm also adding the image folder using the same names and path as specified in the documentation.

However, neither the launcher icon nor the splash screen background appear in the app, even though everything seems to be set up as described. The project was built successfully without errors.

@robinkuck @bill_froelich @Jitendra_Kansal78

Thank you very much for your help. If any additional information is needed, I remain at your disposal.

SDK versions currently available in Mobile Services

NEW UPDATE:

With the new SDK version enabled, we were able to build the app successfully, and it worked correctly on iOS. However, on Android we noticed a specific behavior:

When the icon is not provided during the build process, only a pink border is displayed (see image 1). I’d like to confirm if that border is the expected behavior on Android, or if that’s all we can achieve — since on iOS the entire background is visible (see image 2).
If we upload the icon, it appears enlarged, and the pink border is no longer visible (see image 3), which differs from how it looks when the icon is not included (image 4).

Custom Theming - SAP BTP Mobile Service - Not Working - MDK 25.6.0

2025-07-11T18:50:46.640000+02:00

Dear SAP Community,

I am currently trying to implement Custom Theming in an application built on SAP BTP Mobile Service, but despite following all the steps in the reference documentation, it has not worked as expected.

https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/sdk-ios-custom-theme..html

I have enabled the "Enable Custom Theme" option and activated the theme I added to my application, following the documented steps. However, the custom theme is still not being reflected in the app.

For context, please note that our application is built using a Customized Mobile Development Kit (MDK) Client, not the standard one provided by SAP. I’m not sure if this could be affecting the theming behavior, but I wanted to mention it just in case it’s relevant.

Currently, the app still looks the same as before (as shown in the image on the right), even with the custom theme active. What we expected was for it to reflect the new colors and styles defined in the theme (similar to the image on the left).

Uploading images to an external repository—can anyone help me?

2025-07-24T17:38:19.018000+02:00

Hello experts, can someone help me? I have a SAP Mobile MDK application and I'm using the Attachment control to capture images from a mobile device. The image taken from the device needs to be sent to a repository so it can be accessed later.

Can you please tell me what steps I need to follow? What should I configure? Do I need to convert the image in any way?

I’ve used a Send Request action, and I’ve only been able to create the record, but the image is not being sent.

Is it possible for someone to guide me through the process or point me to any tutorial, documentation, or link that I can follow?

I appreciate the time you take to help me.

SAP B1 Sales Mobile App - Crystal Report with Command Parameters

2025-08-06T21:30:47.364000+02:00

Hi,

I have a Crystal Report that applies a filter using this parameter:
A1@ Select Distinct "U_Familia" From OITM Order By "U_Familia" Asc

It works fine in Crystal Reports and SAP Business One.

However, in the B1 Sales mobile app, it doesn't work correctly.
It displays the parameters, but they don’t function properly.

But when you open one, a list of articles appears and not the "Familia" and "SubFamilia" list.

Note: The PDF is displayed correctly; the only issue is with the dropdowns, which should display the "Family" and "SubFamily" lists.

Avatar Stack sizing in SAP MDK

2025-08-18T13:45:17.654000+02:00

So I am creating sap mdk app.

I am using object table to display internet store style objects.

On mobile device (and android studio emulator) icons from avatar stack are kinda small. I tried to resize them using styless.less but i found that height and width for images is not supported.

i found this github library: https://github.com/SAP-samples/cloud-mdk-samples/tree/main/Showcase_Apps/ImageHandlingApp

where i can see better looking icon sizing. It is also done by avatar stack. but here it looks like images are bigger than in my app. How do i achieve that?

Thank you

Issue in SAP MDK Data Table Control – setValue() Not Working

2025-11-06T16:32:06.902000+01:00

Hello Experts,

I am working on the SAP MDK Data Table control, where I need to set the value of one column based on the user-entered value in another column. The edit mode is set to Inline.

On the Save button, I have added the following rule to set the status:

let currentCell = context.getPageProxy().getControl('SectionedTable0').getSection('SectionDataTable0').getCell(0, 0);
const newValue = "Accepted";
currentCell.setValue(newValue);

I have referred to the following blog, but this approach doesn’t seem to work. I would appreciate any help or suggestions on this issue.

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blog-posts-by-sap/what-s-new-in-mobile-development-kit-client-23-4/ba-p/13557735

I also tried the below code snippet, but it did not work either:

let currentCell = context.getControl('SectionedTable0').getSection('SectionDataTable0').getCell(0, 0);
const newValue = "My Product";
currentCell.setValue(newValue);

Thank you in advance for your help!

We are facing an issue with barcode scanning on a Honeywell CK65(hardware scanner) in an SAP MDK app

2025-12-10T06:30:11.351000+01:00

We are facing an issue with barcode scanning on a Honeywell CK65 (Android, hardware scanner) in an SAP MDK application.

Problem Summary

Our app has two places where scanning is used:

1. Search bar with ListPicker has "Search": { "Enabled": true, "BarcodeScanner": true }

When scanning with CK65, the scanned value appears correctly inside the ListPicker search field.

- MDK triggers barcode scan and the scanned value is populated in search field
- 2. SimpleProperty :
  FormCell.SimpleProperty (MaterialInput)
  with:"AlternateInput": "Barcode",
  "ShowScanButton": true
  when using Honeywell CK65 hardware scanner, the scanned value does NOT populate in the SimpleProperty field.The same scanner works perfectly in the ListPicker search.
  
  Questions :
  1. Why does the Honeywell CK65 scan populate the ListPicker search field but NOT the SimpleProperty input, even though both open the same scanner UI?
    
    Thanks.

SAP Start (Mobile): List item selection issue after orientation change

2025-12-23T14:18:03.856000+01:00

Hi everyone,

We have a UI5 application running on SAP Start, designed for mobile usage. The application contains a list (sap.m.List) where users select list item(s) (sap.m.CustomListItem) in multi-select mode (over selecting checkboxes) to continue processing.

We have identified an issue related to mobile device orientation changes. When the user switches from portrait (vertical) to landscape (horizontal), list selection continues to work as expected. However, when switching back to portrait mode, the list items become "unselectable" and no longer respond to selection attempts on the checkbox.

Application UI5 Framework version: 1.120.x

Launchpad UI5 Framework version: 1.143.x

SAP Start App version: 2.5.0

Appreciate for any comment.

Best,

Merve

How are you extending SAP solutions with mobile apps — and what tools are you using?

2026-01-07T10:46:12.268000+01:00

Hi everyone!

I’m curious about how others are integrating mobile apps with SAP systems in real projects. Are you using SAP Mobile Services, BTP, Fiori, or custom native apps?

What challenges have you faced with data sync or authentication?
Any tips on choosing between web-based and native mobile approaches?
How do you handle offline usage for field teams?

Would love to hear real-world examples and best practices from the community!

SAP MDK iOS app crashes at launch on macOS Tahoe / Xcode 26 due to ArcGIS framework symbol mismatch

2026-01-26T08:58:35.379000+01:00

🧩 Problem Statement

SAP Mobile Development Kit (MDK) iOS application fails to launch on iOS Simulator when built using macOS Tahoe (26.x) and Xcode 26.x.
The application builds successfully, but crashes immediately at runtime with a dyld symbol not found error related to ArcGIS.framework and MapFramework.framework.

📝 Case Explanation

We are developing an SAP Asset Manager–based MDK application (SvcAssetMgr) using SAP MDK SDK 25.9.1

Environment

macOS: Tahoe 26.2
Xcode: 26.0.1
MDK SDK: 25.9.1
NativeScript CLI: 8.9.5
Target Platform: iOS Simulator (iOS 26.0)
Deployment Target: iOS 17.0

Issue Description

The application builds successfully using ns build ios
CocoaPods installation and linking complete without errors
However, when launching the app on the iOS Simulator, the app terminates immediately
macOS displays the message:
“SvcAssetMgr cannot be opened because of a problem”

On checking the simulator logs and crash output, the following dyld runtime error is consistently observed:

Symbol not found: _$s6ArcGIS7FeatureC10attributesSDySSs8Sendable_pGvgTj Referenced from: MapFramework.framework/MapFramework Expected in: ArcGIS.framework/ArcGIS

This indicates a binary incompatibility where:

MapFramework.framework expects a newer ArcGIS symbol
The ArcGIS.framework loaded at runtime does not contain this symbol

The crash happens before application code execution, during dynamic linking.

Observations

Multiple clean rebuilds were performed:
- Removed platforms, node_modules, hooks
- Cleared Xcode DerivedData
- Reset iOS Simulator
- Reinstalled MDK SDK using install.command
Deployment target updated to iOS 17.0
Issue persists consistently on macOS Tahoe 26.2 + Xcode 26.0.2
The problem appears to be caused by ArcGIS framework version mismatch packaged with MDK iOS extensions
The issue does not appear to be application-specific, but related to MDK iOS framework packaging and compatibility with newer Xcode/macOS

Expected Result

The MDK iOS application should launch successfully on the iOS Simulator when built with:

macOS Tahoe 26.2
Xcode 26.0.2
MDK SDK 25.9.1

Actual Result

The application crashes at launch with a dyld symbol resolution failure involving ArcGIS frameworks.

Request

Please confirm:
- The supported Xcode and macOS versions for MDK SDK 25.9.1
- Whether the bundled ArcGIS.framework is fully compatible with the MapFramework.framework
Provide:
- A fix, patch, or OSS note if this is a known issue
- Guidance on the correct ArcGIS / MapFramework combination for Xcode 26.0.2

Any recommended workaround for macOS Tahoe 26.2
Regards,
Gopal Singh
