Implement Deep Linking to Another App from an MDK App

In the MDK editor, you will create 4 new Rule files:

• OpenSAPMobileCards.js to open SAP Mobile Cards app
• OpenSAPFioriClient.js to open SAP Fiori Client app
• OpenUI5.js to open an UI5 app running in SAP Fiori Client app
• OpenSAPcom.js to open SAP.com web page

  You can find more details about writing a Rule.

1. Right-click the Rules folder | MDK: New Rule File | select Empty JS Rule.

   

2. Enter the Rule name OpenSAPMobileCards, press Enter.

   

   Replace the generated snippet with below code.

   export default function OpenSAPMobileCards(context) {
       // Get the Nativescript UI Dialogs Module
       const dialogs = context.nativescript.uiDialogsModule;
       // Get the Nativescript Utils Module
       const utilsModule = context.nativescript.utilsModule;
       return dialogs.confirm("Do you want to leave the current app?").then((result) => {
           if (result === true) {
               //This will open SAP Mobile Cards app
               return utilsModule.openUrl("com.sap.content2go://");
           } else {
               return Promise.reject('User Deferred');
           }
       });
   }
   

   

   openUrl is a NativeScript API to open an URL on device. You can find more details about this API.

3. Save your changes to the OpenSAPMobileCards.js file.

4. Repeat the above step and create another new Rule file:

   Enter the file name OpenSAPFioriClient, click OK.

   Replace the generated snippet with below code.

   export default function OpenSAPFioriClient(context) {
       // Get the Nativescript UI Dialogs Module
       const dialogs = context.nativescript.uiDialogsModule;
       // Get the Nativescript Utils Module
       const utilsModule = context.nativescript.utilsModule;
       return dialogs.confirm("Do you want to leave the current app?").then((result) => {
           if (result === true) {
               //This will open SAP Fiori Client App
               return utilsModule.openUrl("com.sap.fiori.client.xcallbackurl://x-callback-url");
           } else {
               return Promise.reject('User Deferred');
           }
       });
   }
   

   

5. Save your changes to the OpenSAPFioriClient.js file.

6. Repeat the above step and create another new Rule file:

   Enter the file name OpenUI5, click OK.

   Replace the generated snippet with below code.

   export default function OpenUI5(context) {
       // Get the Nativescript UI Dialogs Module
       const dialogs = context.nativescript.uiDialogsModule;
       // Get the Nativescript Utils Module
       const utilsModule = context.nativescript.utilsModule;
       return dialogs.confirm("Do you want to leave the current app?").then((result) => {
           if (result === true) {
               //This will open Software Downloads app running in SAP Fiori Client
               return utilsModule.openUrl("com.sap.fiori.client.xcallbackurl://x-callback-url/openFioriUrl?url=https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/softwarecenter");
           } else {
               return Promise.reject('User Deferred');
           }
       });
   }
   

   

7. Save your changes to the OpenUI5.js file.

8. Create one more Rule file and name it to OpenSAPcom.

   Replace the generated snippet with below code.

   export default function OpenSAPcom(context) {
       // Get the Nativescript UI Dialogs Module
       const dialogs = context.nativescript.uiDialogsModule;
       // Get the Nativescript Utils Module
       const utilsModule = context.nativescript.utilsModule;
       return dialogs.confirm("Do you want to leave the current app?").then((result) => {
           if (result === true) {
               //This will open SAP.com website
               return utilsModule.openUrl("https://www.sap.com");
           } else {
               return Promise.reject('User Deferred');
           }
       });
   }
   

   

9. Save your changes to the OpenSAPcom.js file.
