Fiori, iOS, SAP Cloud Platform, Mobile Services, Offline App Fiori CRM

Introduction

Welcome to part 4 of the blog series exploring the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS assistant. In this blog we will build a native Fiori CRM application. Previously, we have touched on:

Sales executives are always in the field using their gadgets and engaged in the lead generation process. Often, they would like to have the information about their contacts and leads and would like to know the correspondence history or action items pending on a given lead.

Goal in this blog

To build the below application using Custom Fiori iOS Controls

Let’s play with code

Create the following story board using

Navigation Controller
TableView Controller
View Controller with table view – This is for Part 5 of the blog series

Attach the ViewController file to tableView controller

Fiori CRM

Perform the following steps to achieve the above application:

For the table view controller use the implement the following methods

func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {}

2. Attach a Profile button using left navigation bar

private func initialProfile(){

let button = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.custom)

button.setImage(UIImage(named: “NaveenProfile”), for: UIControlState.normal)

button.frame = CGRect(x:0,y:0,width:40,height:40)

button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(viewProfile), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)

let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)

// Adding action to profile

// barButton.target = self

// barButton.action = #selector(viewProfile)

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barButton

}

3. Create your data sources and implement the Contact Cell – Fiori Custom controller

let contactCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: ContactCell.reuseIdentifier, for: indexPath) as? ContactCell

let activities: [ActivityItem] = [ActivityItem.phone, ActivityItem.message]

let contact = newLeadsname[indexPath.row]

contactCell?.detailImage = newLeadsImage[indexPath.row]

contactCell?.headlineText = contact

contactCell?.subheadlineText = newLeadsTitle[indexPath.row]

contactCell?.descriptionText = “800 N Washington Avenue”

contactCell?.activityControl.addActivities(activities)

contactCell?.mainStackWidth = 0.5
