Steps

Step 1 Examine the products list screen

  2. Select Products.

    The category name is displayed (rather than the product name) because the app was generated from the OData service’s metadata, which does not specify which of the many fields from the product entity to display. When creating the sample user interface, the SDK wizard uses the first property found as the value to display. To view the complete metadata document, open the res/raw/com_sap_edm_sampleservice_v4.xml file.

XML
<EntityType Name="Product">
    <Key>
        <PropertyRef Name="ProductID"/>
    </Key>
    <Property Name="Category" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="true" MaxLength="40"/>
    ... ...
    <Property Name="Name" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" MaxLength="80"/>
    ... ...
</EntityType>

Each product is displayed in an object cell, which is one of the Fiori UI controls for Android.
