I'm trying to build an Android app where the database is on the server side.I hear that SQLite is a local database so it doesn't really work for what I'm trying to do.
In java I would use JDBC to connect to MySQL and send requests normally.
In PHP too it's almost the same thing.
The app needs a login system and all of that...
How can I do this in Android ?
Android does not support MySQL out of the box, but you can implement it.
Probably the SQLite you heard about, in the Android environment, refers to Room, the standard to save persistent data locally on the device.
In the mobile world, often a good option (if they fits for you) are NoSQL databases. There are plenty, hosted services like Firebase, DynamoDB or open source like MongoDB, Supabase.
I made an android application which is collecting data from a wearable device and storing it into a local sqlite database.
Now I want to sync the data of all android devices local sqlite databases to cloud and visualize the data and perform data analytics related operations on it.
Can anyone suggest me what to do?
I have looked around multiple clouds like AWS, GAE, AZURE, HEROKU, GoDadddy shared cloud etc for storing my data in a central database.
My question is that should I directly store data from android into mysql or some other database using jdbc or odbc driver or write a webservice or api for storing data in cloud?
I want to sync data after some time interval i.e. a day or so, between local android device and cloud.
According to your description, based on my understanding, you want to sync up the data from wearable device between all android devices and cloud.
Per my experience, the way to directly store data from android into database is not a good choice. The normal way is creating a web service or rest apis to communicate with mobile device for data synchronizing to cloud.
On Azure, the best practice for your needs is that creating an Azure Mobile App instance and enable the Offline Data Sync feature in Azure Mobile Apps to implement this. You can refer to the Azure offical document Offline Data Sync in Azure Mobile Apps to know the related concept.
You can get start with the tutorial for Android within Azure Mobile Apps, and then continous to the next tutorial to implement the feature of offline sync up data automatically.
As reference, the tutorial How to use the Android client library for Mobile Apps will shows you how to use the Android client SDK for Mobile Apps to access the data from SQL Azure table online.
Meanwhile, to visualize the data and perform data analytics related operations on the cloud data, Azure support more Intelligence + Analysis services which could be used for your future plan.
I am new in android development. I am developing android app for news portal. I want my users to be able to read news even when there is no Internet connection, somehow similar to twitter feed. I need advice about connecting server data from SQLite. I see two options for now: connecting directly to MySQL or generating XML data in server in /rss page and synchronize using scripts. Which one will be better? Or is there any other option?
SQLite is best solution for this problem. We need to put synchronization technique between SQLite and MySQL.
Hi guys so I am new to android development or any mobile device development.
So I am working on a project that consists of two application.
One with ASP.NET MVC4, one with Android.
what it is doing right now, Android device is accessing database server of ASP.Net application and saves data. This is able because currently, android app has database access information in the codes(db login info).
Since method above is extremely stupid I need help.
So what I am looking into is to use JSON(if possible). ASP.NET MVC4 application is already JSON ready, and i've made sandbox application that brings information from web app to android app. BUT my question here is is it possible to do same thing the other way around. Is it possible to make android application to make JSON and web application to access that application? I dont think this is possible.
So how do other REAL mobile applications save users data on their database server without including db access information within the code?
This is usually done through web api - have a look at twitters api as an example https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1
You would have to pass data to the server using the api, just as you would use an api to get data from the server.
so I am writing an android app that will be used at a point of sale in some shops for survey questions. I have a java jsf web app using jpa with a mysql database that I want to sync with, preferably both ways but only a couple of tables. The android app will have only a few tables and will not replicate my server database completely. Unfortunately the android apps will in some places have only intermittent internet access that will drop in and out. I am currently looking at different options to use to store my data on android. I have looked at:
writing my own sync between the database on my server and SQLite on android but there has to be an easier option
storing my data on app engine and syncing with app engine as per the example in the android developers guide however I am not sure how my limited internet connectivity will work
using couchdb but I dont really want to go down this route as I already have the server side set up
does anyone have any ideas?
can I store data locally using android then sync with app engine when I have a connection?
Thanks
