HI Aditya, 
Salesforce1 app uses the standard compact page layout as defined in the Page Layout Editor, not a Lightning Page that can be edited in Lightning App Builder. The Page Layout Editor doesn't support adding Lightning components.
You can create custom Lightning pages and add them to the Salesforce1 navigation, but they aren't the same as the Lightning Experience pages that you see in the desktop version.
Hopes it helps you, 
let me inform and mark it as a solved if it helps you.
thanks [sfdcmonkey.com

Hi Pyush,
Thanks for the information but I have tried this, so you are saying that we cannot add lightning component to related tab in salesforce 1?
sfdcMonkey.comsfdcMonkey.com
yes as per my knowlage salesforce1 uses the standard compact page layout so it's not support adding Lightning components or custom tabs yet.
Hops it helps

Also checking on this thread.  Sometimes you can scan all the documentation and it tells you what you can do but doesn't tell you what you can't do so you want to double-check that you didn't miss something.

I built a Lightning Record Page with Lightning App Builder for Account.  I activitated it and made it the default page for all users.  I get that page in Lighning Experience when I view Accounts.  But it appears I cannot get the page in the SF1 Mobile app.  I take it is because of the reason pointed out in the prior post, yes?

Anyone know if showing Lightning Record Pages is on the roadmap?

I know one thing people have been asking for for years is the ability to customize and display a different layout based on device.  That could be accomplished with Lightning Record Pages but putting a bit of conditional code in the page.  But, if you can't use the Lightning Record pages in SF1 Mobile, that soluiton will not fly (yet).

I managed to do this by using a Lightning Quick Action on the record page.
The action calls your Lightning component.

See: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.212.0.lightning.meta/lightning/lightning_component_actions.htm

Make sure your component has these implementations:-
force:LightningQuickAction
force:appHostable
force:hasRecordId

It works great on the mobile - I just need to learn how to format for a mobile page!

We have a lightning component and it is tied to an account record page.  It displays fine in desktop but for Salesforce Mobile, we have to create the lightning component as Custom Tab in Salesforce1 as mentioned in this post but my requirement is to tie this to an account record so that I can display on the account detail record page.  The custom tab solution only helps only to view the lightning component but I need to tie this to an account record.  How to accomplish this?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey David - Your advice helped me solve an issue with a client. Thanks so much!

Hi David - I used your tip to call the component from the quick action but I'm getting an error - "Latitude and Longitude API Field Names are already set. 

Any idea what might be causing that?
David Roberts 4David Roberts 4
Sounds like an error in your component rather than being caused by the calling method. You'll need to add some debug diagnostics to track down where the message originates. A misture of console.log in the javascript and system.debug in the apex will do the trick.

You're right David - after looking into it some more, the component I'm using needs the field housing the GPS coordinates specified on the lighting page builder. Works fine when you use it that way. But when you call it with the button it doesn't know where to grab the lat/lon from. Thanks,

@Aditya Saini - did you find any other solution? Other than a quick action?

This worked for me. In ipad settings ->  selected Salesforce App and “Allow Cross-Website Tracking”
And update apps and pages for mobile and update pagelayout for downloadable app (Lightning on tablet: full-width. Pilot feature. See below
) in Setup - > New Salesforce Mobile App QuickStart.
