Problem: Our mobile App users can update data from the website as well. All i want is to send a message to App (Android & iOS) to update user data as soon as user for example delete anything from website. What is the best way to achieve this?
Environment: Both Mobile App & Website is hosted by us. Website is built in Asp.net and Mobile App is done using Xamarin.Forms.

I have an application in Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift 4) that opens a micro app in a WebView which I made using Angular6.
There is a button in my web app that enable users to sync a date to their respective calendar.
What is the best way to pass data from my web application to my native application?
If I understand your problem correctly you can try using Firebase Dynamic Links. From inside the web app the users would select to sync the data then that will open the dynamic link which will bring them back into the native Android or iOS app. These dynamic links can store small amounts of data which you can read in once you've handled the deep link. See this sample code for Android.
I'm creating an android app, using Android Studio and at the same time making a web version of the said app using django. Is it better to make a python web app in django with the database and all first. So in the mobile app, i wont need to store data anymore, im just gonna grab the data from the web to show in the mobile app. If so, how do i do getting data from web and show it to android app?
The usual way is to make a web service which returns a json which you can consume on your mobile app and store it if needed offline.
I'm developing an Android app that will send invites to the user friends via facebook's notification. I'm trying to make this notification open a url instead of the native app. I've tried disabling the single sign on and it works but instead of opening my page the app opens the browser version of the facebook so the user can sign in. That's not a good experience.
On iPhone it works very well. If I click on the notification from my native facebook app, it opens the mobile website I configured on my app's dashboard (I haven't configured any native iOS app yet, maybe that's the reason).
Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Thank you very much.
Okay, so I've got a Postgres database hosted on a VPS at the moment, and I wanted to use this as a backend for a mobile app (Android and iPhone).
The current database stores public information about shops (name, address, postcode, city, phone). I wanted to use this data to build native apps for android and iphone with the following functionality:
Get Local Stores using GeoLocation.
In the case of GeoLocation not being available, fall back to grouping by city, allowing the user to select a city.
Show the information for each store. (A show page).
I don't need any authorization, or access to any of the other device APIs, just geolocation.
Also, my speciality lies in web app development - I have zero experience with objective-c. Is there anything you folks would recommend?
Note: It needs to be deployable to the appstore.
You should really go with mobile web app frameworks if you're a web app developer.These frameworks are cross platform which is pretty useful and makes it a breeze for a web developer to have an app.
Something like these.
Sencha Touch - http://www.sencha.com/products/touch
jquery mobile - http://jquerymobile.com/
Titanium - http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-mobile-application-development/
I second the mobile web app framework suggestion of #Serdar Dogruyol, but my personal favourite would be Apache Cordova
I am new to both Android and Rails. I built a simple Rails app to log in to post comments and leave replies to others' comments as well. I am trying to see how to build a native Android app to respond to this Rails app and have come across a question with sessions/cookie.
In order for me to build a native android app that can allow a user to log in and browse through the rails app, do I have to write a code that receives cookie from the rails app and store it in android sqlite database? Thanks
Are you trying to load a view in HTML (an embedded browser), or render a view on the device using the native controls? If you're doing the former, surely Android already handles all this for you, just like a WebView in an iPhone app does?
If you're doing the latter, you should build an API that uses something like OAuth for authentication, rather than maintaining a session cookie. This approach means that you store a pair of (revokable) OAuth credentials on the device and that you don't need to work with the user's username/password.
I'm not sure on what your end goal is here.
