Hi Dounia,
Could you please recommend a reliable app that you’ve personally used to access the Odoo Community Edition from a mobile phone?
It’s quite urgent, so your quick response would be greatly appreciated.

You can connect your mobile app to Odoo using its built-in XML-RPC or JSON-RPC API. These APIs allow you to perform actions like login, create records, read data, update, and delete from any Odoo model (e.g., sale.order, res.partner, etc.).

Most mobile app frameworks like Flutter, React Native, or native Android/iOS can make HTTP requests to communicate with Odoo.

Basic Steps:

  1. Authenticate the user using the Odoo API.
  2. Call Odoo models via API to fetch or send data.
  3. You can also use third-party REST API modules from the Odoo App Store to make integration easier with standard REST endpoints.
  4. If you're using the official Odoo mobile app, you can design screens using Odoo Studio, and they’ll appear on mobile automatically.

So yes, whether you're building a custom app or using Odoo’s mobile interface, connecting is very much possible!

To access your Odoo instance via the mobile app, you'll need to provide the server URL where your Odoo database is hosted. Here's how you can locate this information:​

  1. Identify Your Odoo Server URL:
    • Self-Hosted Odoo: If your organization hosts Odoo on its own servers, the URL typically follows the format http://yourcompanydomain.com or an IP address like http://123.456.789.0. Consult your IT department or system administrator for the exact URL.​
    • Odoo Online (SaaS): For Odoo's cloud-hosted service, your database URL usually resembles https://yourcompany.odoo.com. You can find this link in the initial setup emails from Odoo or by logging into your Odoo account via a web browser.​
  2. Enter the Server URL in the Mobile App:
    • Open the Odoo mobile app on your device.​
    • When prompted for the server URL, input the address identified in the previous step.​
    • Proceed to log in using your Odoo credentials.​

At Wan Buffer Services, we've assisted numerous clients in configuring their Odoo mobile access, ensuring seamless integration between their mobile devices and Odoo servers.
