While working, keep the project open on your phone using the SAP Build Apps Preview app, which you can find in all common app stores and download for free. But you can also use the web preview. To use the preview option, just click the Launch button above next to the UI Canvas.
The default setting for the Preview device might be set to iPhone, but you can change this to match whatever device you are using. It’s a good idea to use the Preview app while building, so that you can see the changes you are making to the UI and the components in real time and test them out. Note, that the changes must be saved in the app project. Then the change will be made automatically.
In this exercise, you will create a project for the Team app and the first pages in preparation before creating the UI. You will learn how to open a preview page for the app, which will be useful during development.
With the exercises in this Learning Journey, you will create a Team app covering many SAP Build Apps features. At the same time, these can be modified and transformed into different scenarios and adapted to different departments and areas. The team app consists of a start page with a health tracker for the user to save the history on an on-device storage and share images and messages among colleagues with a common database. A second social sharing page will demonstrate the use of an API using OData. Finally, a challenge or KPI/balance scorecard page will showcase more features of Visual Cloud Functions.
