im trying to get a very very small program runnint, however im very lost when it comes to programming windows mobile device, i have a database online, and i want a small dialog box to show up on my wm device and alow me to type something in , then it search the online database.. and return the information, or even just take me to where the online listing is, that's all no bells or whistles.. could someone help me with this please?
i have even added a search feature to my database, soo i just basically want this little program to relay text to that search feature, then take me to it.. so i don't have to go to all these links and whatnot
Well,
it is quite hard to advice you anything without actually knowing about the file structure / database format. Maybe the easiest way would be to simply set up a search option online as a WAP2.0 page - if you don't want others to access this section, simply password protect it.
If you really have a need to generate the 'search string' offline (which I just can't understand since you want to be taken to your DB online) then simply use something which generates the search string for you.
For example you could have a "results.php" online which simply needs the search terms 'attached' in order to list you all relevant records. Now, the question remains how the database is structured. If you have 2 fields in your database, containing firstname and lastname, then it would be simple. You would need only something that adds your search terms to the string and then navigates to your server. For example you search for SMITH as lastname, it would have to transfer the string as followed:
www.mysite.com/results.php?lastname=smith
For sure your results.php needs to be programmed first!
However,
this has nothing to do with your device, you better join a programmer forum - in this case I would suggest you look for web development forums since this can be done entirely on the server side!
Ok, I'm trying to build my first app that interacts with a Database. Essentially I'm going to have a list of parts with a name, location, and serial number stored in a database. I would like to add, delete, and update rows. I tried following the Notepad example but I'm having trouble following. Not really understanding why and how they are using somethings. I have had database programing but its been a while and need a refresher. Anyone know where I could go to find more detail explanations of achieving my goal for this database?
Thank you in advance.

All major mobile O/S's include SQLite. You cann drive SQLite through C, Java or any scripting languages. You need to learn less than 10 SQL commands to survive. I bought a couple of books (recommend O'Reilly's Using SQLite), and now I get 95% of the commands correct first time.
Thank you I will check out that book.

WP7 doesn't natively understand the format, of course, so you'd need an app that could process it. The app would have to parse the playlist files, acquire the actual media files, and then play the media files (such as through a MediaElement) one at a time in the order specified by the playlist(s). None of this should be too hard.
Now, if you want to be able to open a .PLS file directly on WP7 - that is, from an email attachment or a download link on a webpage or something like that - you'll need to be able to set file associations. This is possible, but requires at least interop-unlock on your phone or root-unlock on your app. You need to add an entry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for .PLS, with the default value specifying something like "plsplaylist", and then create HKCR\plsplaylist, give it a registry value called EditFlags of 0x00010000, and create additional registry keys HKCR\plsplaylist\shell\open\command with a default value of your app's launch URI (app://{APP_PRODUCT_ID_HERE}/_default?pls=%s). To understand that, your app would need to have a check in its OnNavigatedTo event that examines the parameters of the navigation for the key "pls" and loads the file represented by its value.
Hey guys,
I'm really new to this app development and would like to ask one of you experienced developers a question.
Basically I have recently been creating mobile websites from a set of css files which are just a basic template. The template files have individual files for some of the most common pages that a small business would need, google map, contact us with form, menu, opening hours and so on.
What happens is you simply upload the company logo and such into the images folder, update the css style sheet for colours, then simply edit one of the relevant pages e.g place the food items in the menu page.
When the whole set of files gets uploaded it creates a personalised functional business mobile website.
What I would like to know is, would it be possible to set something like this up for an android app? Whereby the user could simply change the details as above and then compile the apk file which will create the app?
Your input is much appreciated, also have any of you got any idea where I could get someone to code something like this?
Regards,
Stephen
I am creating this thread to start an area for Backitude server side developers and for casual users looking to implement their own flavor of location history or Google Latitude, to come and chat, ask questions, and get information.
Backitude is an android application that allows users to track their device locations in a highly configurable and continuous manner. Location data can be stored locally as (KML, CSV) or posted to a custom server. Anyone can create their own server implementation for storing or sharing location data.
Currently, three users are sharing their implementations:
http://backitude.ascanwex.de/ ([email protected])
-and-
https://bitbucket.org/nparley/mylatitude/wiki/Home ([email protected])
-and-
http://www.backituders.com ([email protected])
Let me know if more exist you would like me to add to the list!
Quick hack for using Traccar as backend
Hi,
If you want to use Traccar as the backend, then you can quickly implement a server side fix in PHP that converts the HTTP POST from Backitude to the required HTTP GET request OsmAnd style that Traccar expects.
Requirements:
- HTTP server with PHP
Place a backitude.php file with this content on your Traccar server:
PHP:
<?
$data=$_POST;
array_walk($data , create_function('&$v,$k', '$v = $k."=".$v ;'));
$url='http://127.0.0.1:5055?'.implode("&",$data);
$response = file_get_contents($url);.
echo "200 OK\n";
?>
Replace 127.0.0.1 with your Traccar server, if it's located on another host than the one you put the PHP code in.
Configure Backitude like this:
Server URL: http://<yourserveraddress>/backitude.php
Successfull response code: 200
Authentication: none
Custom field1: <enter your imei or the ID youre using in Traccar>
Latitude: lat
Longitude: lon
Accuracy: hdop
Speed: speed
Altitude: altitude
Direction Bearing: bearing
Location Timestamp (UTC): timestamp
TimeZone Offset: do not post/empty
Custom Field 1: id
Works for me! Thanks a lot for Backitude - the Traccar client is not nearly as reliable or battery friendly as Backitude.

Would this whole implementation be a lot simpler, if Backitude sent over a GET instead of a POST ?
Yes, a toggle switch between GET and POST would make your program directly compatible, if the user can set port number on the URL as well.

To repost from the other thread:
I have finally got around to opening up my Google App Engine app code. It runs on the free quota on Google App Engine and so it does not require you to pay for a server. Also as it's your app you have control of your location data, and can delete it at any time by going into the Google App Engine settings for your app. You send your location to your app and it is recorded in a database. The app allows you to share your location with other people by creating a white list of allowed Google accounts. I have also made a history page which you can use to see your updates from each day. I can't add links but you should be able to find the code at bitbucket.org / nparley
No doubt there will be bugs which I have not found. If you find one please add an issue to on the bitbucket page. I will continue to add new features as I can but am open to requests, just add a feature requestion issue on bitbucket.
Cheers,
Neil

OK the problem could be this https://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/issues/detail?id=40 i.e. the path is wrong and the app engine application launcher has created another default app.yaml and app.py file.

yes problem is same.Launcher is creating a new folder inside my project folder with a default main.py and app.yaml file.
my project folder is JMlatitude and i copied my client secret file in JMlatitude folder and edited the app.yaml file as JMlatitude.yaml but launcher is creating new folder (JMlatitude) inside project folder.pls help what to do
Thanks Brian for the dedicated post.
This is how to get started with my service (www.backituders.com).
0) The service is free
1) Drop me an email to [email protected] backituders <Dot> com. You'll get a username pwd password back.
2) Start using backituders!
You can find more infos, expandoing docs and guides at www.backituders.com.
Backituders is meant as an API you can use to implement your own applications on. I provide the server and APIs to set and get positions, set alamers and alerts and so on. There is also a ready-to-use "draw my map" and "follow my device live" feature.
Will use this post as updates to the service are done.
- 20131031: display timestamps in RFC format, display speed
- 20131104: changed the icons on the map to reflect direction (8 main dir) when available.
- 20131104: sono disponibili istruzioni base in italiano.
Thanks any for testing.

Hi,
Sorry I might not have been clear in my instructions. You have to keep the file named app.yaml as this is the file Google App Engine looks for and will create a new one if not found. It is inside this file where you have to make the edit, the top line contains `application: YOURAPPNAME` here you have to change YOURAPPNAME to JMlatitude.

Get the key from going here: yourapp.appspot.com/viewkey. You want to end up with something like this:
https://bytebucket.org/nparley/mylatitude/wiki/settings.png I.e. at the top in the custom field type your long key. Under requestion parameter keys change custom field 1 (it'll have no value to start with) to the word "key". I don't seem to have a device ID on my backitude version are you sure you have the latest version from the play store? (or try leaving it bank) Also make sure you change the response codes to 200,202

This probably means you have your Google maps api key wrong or you did not fill in your Google maps api in when you setup the app. The instructions show you where to get the browser api key from, it's this page https://code.google.com/apis to get your Google maps browser api key. You can go here https://appengine.google.com log in to your app, click on data store viewer, in the by kind drop down pick maps the keyid should equal the key you get from the Google api console. You can edit it if it's not correct. If you have no maps kind in the data store you need to delete all the users and run the setup again.
Hopes this gives you some help trubble shooting,
