Although Srilatha provided you with very useful reading material, be aware that it covers hybrid mobile apps where you are probably trying to build a native app. So first check your app-type by going to Studio Pro, in project explorer on the left go to project → navigation. There are two tabs: ‘Responsive’ and ‘Hybrid’ or ‘Native’. You can have all three if you like and add or delete them at will. ‘Responsive’ contains the menu for your web-application.
If you have ‘Native’ and you want to access it on your phone, you need to:
- Build your app. Make sure you have Studio Pro 8.15 or higher and click on ‘Project’ → ‘Build native mobile app’. Fill out all parameters and click the button ‘Build’. it will take 15 minutes and result in an APK. More info on the parameter values here: https://docs.mendix.com/howto/mobile/use-cli-docs (NB. this is for the CLI, command line interface. There is no docs for this UI version yet)
- Transport the generated APK to your mobile. There is more than one way to do that, a) you can receive APK’s via mail, download the attached APK, and double-click it. b) You can place them on a web-server somewhere, download them from there. c) You can connect your mobile with a USB-cable to your laptop and use the Android debug bridge to give this command from powershell: ‘adb install C:\...\...yourdir...\yourapp.apk’. Option c, once installed, works best.
