Adding buttons to the mobile client record view?

Juho Heikkilä
We have implemented integration functionalities (such as sending SMS messages via third party services) in record view buttons based on  http://support.sugarcrm.com/02_Documentation/04_Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.6/20_UI_Model/30_Views/Examples/Adding_Buttons_to_the_Record_View/ which works fine in the desktop client (7.5 Professional).

Now however, a customer would like the same functionality into the mobile client and at least so far I haven't managed to google anything useful about where and how a similar launch button could be added to a module in the mobile client.

I haven't worked with the mobile clients much so far, looking at the interface I don't see any obvious places where such buttons might go, and googling hasn't so far yielded anything I would have found useful. 

Is this possible or practical? If anyone has implemented similar API call buttons to the mobile interface, please share how you've done it.

    Hi Juho,
    As far as I know, this request would only be possible using "Mobile SDK" for Sugar. A first version of this tool is planned for Q1 2016 with Sugar Mobile 2.7 according to SugarCRM Ltd latest version of the roadmap.
    Hope it helps,
    David

    Thanks for the reply David,

    I can't say it literally helps as such, but at least it would explain why I haven't been able to find any guidance for that. If it is as you say, I guess I'm out of luck for now.

    Would be nice to get some confirmation or alternative solutions if anyone has needed something like this before.

    Juho

    As David mentioned, this is not possible in SugarCRM Mobile today.

    Server side changes (so custom server side code or custom metadata and modules) are what is possible in SugarCRM Mobile today.  I've tried to summarize approaches to customizing SugarCRM Mobile that are possible today in a recent post on the Sugar Developer blog.

    Thank you for the confirmation Matthew. We will look into alternative workarounds for firing the actions then.
