SAP Kapsel what a PhoneGap developer is trying to know!

Get your hands dirty by trying Kapsel  with SMP Cloud

Phonegap developers | PhoneGap development | phonegap services | Cordova PhoneGap Experts Services SAP with Cordova for a PhoneGap developer is  well ...complicated.See this "In the last years we have been focused on Sencha products because SAP WebDynpro for ABAP and JAVA were too restricted and did not fullfil the needs for a modern flexible UI that could also be used on mobile devices.

Since the end of 2013, SAP provides SAPUI5 as OpenUI5 under an Apache Open Source licence. The current stable state of the SDK and the possibility to realize Open Source apps on it, are the reason to use UI5 as our main UI strategy......." says  Holger Schäfer  And there is SAP Fiori.

SAP Kapsel is a set of plugins for Apache Cordova (open source) that provides a subset of the capabilities provided by Hybrid web container, and we have to use these plugins during the development of hybrid apps.

Since Kapsel is a part of SMP 3, and not sure whether all Kapsel plugins are officially supported by SMP on Cloud since the cloud version has difference with on premise.
Will be trying out Kapsel Logon plugin in an Android device with these steps.

"A lot of companies are struggling with the question how to unlock the vast resources of their SAP installation for mobile development. Should we wait for the technologies SAP promises in its road maps or are there alternatives? There are many RAD platforms out there, but only two have reached the maturity that allows for very robust and performing integration with SAP: OutSystems and Mendix."
