1. A method for providing a metadata-driven mobile application, the method comprising:
- adding a mobile application framework to a metadata-driven application, the mobile application framework including generic libraries having one or more references to one or more configuration files stored on a platform server; and
updating the one or more configuration files to include one or more tiles, each tile comprising a user interface element or screen view, each tile being either a primitive tile or a tile embedding other nested tiles within it, thereby updating the metadata-driven mobile application without recompiling it.

Abstract
In an example embodiment, a mobile application framework is added to a metadata-driven application. The mobile application framework includes generic libraries having one or more references to one or more configuration files stored on a platform server. Then the one or more configuration files can be updated to include one or more tiles, each tile comprising a user interface element or screen view, each tile being either a primitive tile or a tile embedding other nested tiles within it, thereby updating the metadata-driven mobile application without recompiling it.

13. A metadata-driven mobile application, executable by a processor and capable of being called by code in a mobile application, the mobile application framework comprising:
-
a mobile application framework including; a core component configured to expose one or more application program interfaces (APIs) that initialize the mobile application framework when executed; a user interface component configured to retrieve one or more configuration files identified by the core component and to use the one or more configuration files to generate a user interface, the one or more configuration files including one or more tiles, each tile comprising a user interface element or screen view, each tile being either a primitive tile or a tile embedding other nested tiles within it; a data component configured to provide bindings to one or more business objects defining data for the mobile application; and a configuration component configured to read and parse metadata in the one or more configuration files and transform the metadata to constructs native to the mobile application. a custom code portion containing one or more calls to the mobile application framework; - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which when implemented by one or more machines, cause the one or more machines to perform the following operations:
-
adding a mobile application framework to a metadata-driven application, the mobile application framework including generic libraries having one or more references to one or more configuration files stored on a platform server; and updating the one or more configuration files to include one or more tiles, each tile comprising a user interface element or screen view, each tile being either a primitive tile or a tile embedding other nested tiles within it, thereby updating the metadata-driven mobile application without recompiling it. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
