Purpose
Liquid UI for Android leverages the power of web services to seamlessly integrate with external programs, enabling end-to-end integration for enhanced productivity. With this capability, you can effortlessly import data into SAP from various external sources such as Salesforce, Excel, PDF files, and more. Additionally, Liquid UI facilitates RFC calls, interaction with web services, and integration with databases like Oracle and SQL, providing unparalleled versatility in application usage.
Moreover, Liquid UI empowers screen functionalities to consume web services directly. For instance, it enables functionalities like providing turn-by-turn directions to a specific address or translating a German-language UI to English before transmitting data to SAP. These functionalities are achieved through the consumption of Google web services using simple scripting and Curl. Additionally, hyperlinks can be included in the UI to launch Safari and open any web page.
