Mobile development kit: Filter Usage

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

currently I get familiar with the functionalities of the VSC-development with the MDK-extension for the SAP Asset Manager.

I tried to implement some filters and realized, that there are some restrictions, which I will describe in the next section:

In the Fiori Design Guidelines (https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design-ios/article/filter/), for filters, it is described, that one can use switches, list pickers, filter form cells and silders. In addition, the screenshot reveals, that date pickers can also be used for filtering.

That is why I tried to implement a filter with the type "datepicker" and "listpicker", but unfortunately, the method "parseFilterActionResult" of the script "SectionedTable.ts" is checking for either "isSorter()" or "isFilter()" and both date- and listpicker are not recognized as any of them.

1. So my first question is, whether date- and listpicker are defined as a filter so their outputs can be used for building a filter query. For me, if I used these types, I got the error: "TypeError: filterCriteria.isSorter is not a function".

2. Another question would be, if it is possible to build a filter query that can define a date range. I tried to build a filter, for which a user can select between current calendar weeks, but after checking the method "parseFilterActionResult", I realized, that it is only possible to build a query with "equals", "and" and "or". This method is not capable of filtering in a range such as (lower, lower or equal to and so on).

3. I checked the documentation on how to customize advanced rules with the MDK (https://help.sap.com/viewer/977416d43cd74bdc958289038749100e/Latest/en-US/bd5314e3a12c4d5e947298b5f0...). The documentation of the interface functions are described superficially. Is it possible to expect some more detailed definitions of these methods and functions in combination with use cases, in which they can be used and applied? Right now, one can only go through already implemented functions, but they are mostly too specific in their context and some general use case would be helpful for developing with the MDK in the future.

As a quick information about my setup, I downloaded the following files from SAP downloads:

-ASSET_MNGR_SDK00_0-80004962

-ASTMGRMETDTA00_0-80004961

-MDKCLNT01_0-80005072

-MDKPLGNSDKAND00_0-80004968

I used these files to build an application to debug my code and I edit the metadata in VSC.

Thank you in advance for your answers!
