[Q] Relational Database - General Topics

Hi
I just started using iPhone S4 (birthday gift) few month ago. Now that I see the potential, I am waiting for Nexus 6 to buy in order to graduate to a higher level of use for which some questions are in my head.
Is there an Android based "MS Access style" relational database where I can build my own forms, and trigger macros and events?
Many thx

chiphone still working....

Just to let all those interested know - 6 months ago I was whined at for mentioning a £80 phone that did all that I needed my Windows Mobile phone for at a fifth the price...
All were convinced it would die after 6 months - oooh look - its still working. And its probably made in the same factory as the one you are looking at that would cost £500... maybe even at Foxconn which even under German Luftwaffe rules would collectively qualify as an air ace with 13 'kills' so far of its own employees through either suicide or suspected beatings or exhaustion (all other WW1 air forces only required 5 kills, hence the boast that the German AF was twice as good..).
Sadly since there are no phones available at the moment that fit what I need from a phone in the WinMo arena I will either be buying the S4200 QWERTY flip with wifi & TV - or reinvesting in the joys of symbian with the Vivaz Pro - the best phone I ever had is still going strong - an E70 from Nokia thats 6 years old now and still lasts three days on standby. Sadly its getting a little slow in the tooth...
The only niggle I have with the TVG3 is the camera quality and also there is no one place to control data/wifi selection. Other than that its perfectly usable.
Since I had to look for JAVA applications as there are no developers for the MTK O/S system as used in both the TVG3 & the S4200 I have found a couple that are useful and may be of some interest to people here...
Firstly Snaptu - which is a java based app which works with touchscreens and can provide either apps or links to websites along with RSS newsreader feeds and a eminantly usable weather application including of all things astronomical information. This includes a very usable facebook application.
There is also a application called microcalc which is a spreadsheet which is able to accept data from excel using the *.slk extension (SYLK - symbolic link)- although to be fair this is not a complete conversion.

[Q] Nexus S NFC and Windows Communication

Hi guys,
I'm a student who did a project proposal using the Nexus S for my final semester for my BSc, thinking that the APIs involved for my project would be easily accessible in the SDK (lol, from my reading so far... not so).
So now that I'm this far in (having bought a Nexus S and being almost 3 weeks in) I cannot change my topic of my study. Now, before I buy any more equipment, can anyone experienced in the field lend me a helping hand with some information?
A function which I thought would be basic, card emulation, is apparently not available. I had planned to use the Nexus S in card emulation mode -- With the help of a reader (ACR122U was being considered) connected to a PC and a mock POS (point of sales) program, I planned to recognise an individual's phone, and add and subtract data from their "accounts" accordingly.
So - since card emulation is not available, what are my options? I would greatly appreciate any one leading me in the right direction with this before I invest more money and time in this.
Thank you much
Anybody have any expertise in this at all?
Card Emulation IS possible on the Nexus S, since the NFC Chip (NXP PN65) is present!
Inside Secure's Open NFC enables such functionality.
I haven't found any information on real success in this field though.

[Q] Xtext for iOS, Android and WP7

Hi everyone,
I trying to write a Xtext project in Eclipse to be able to write a DSL to generate applications that can run on Android, iOS and WP7 simultaneous.
The applications I can build so far can have tabs, get a remote XML file and use the data from that XML file to build a table on a tab. The different tabs can use different XML files and have different views.
I have an XML file with last-minute sales and each sale has its own coordinates specified in that file. I'm trying to build an application using a DSL that has two tabs: one tab in which all sales are shown and one tab that only shows those sales which are close enough to the users device.
I'm having a lot of problems trying to implement the filtering function in my Xtext project.
Has anyone experience with this and is willing to help me? I need to have it done by Sunday evening (Belgium time) and at the rate I'm going, I don't see how to finish it in time!
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!
Sincerely,
Bart

[Q] Do you guys memorize the frameworks you use?

I've been an iOS developer for about 5 years. There are still things that NSString and NSArray do that I didn't know they could. All optional attributes and behaviors that I haven't seen, because I've never actually sat down and memorized all of the optionals and capabilities of the NSString class. I know the most of the basic stuff off the top of my head, but I typically google for the fastest way to do it if I can't on the fly. My question is: Do you guys have most of the classes of your most commonly used frameworks memorized? (For me it would be Cocoa Touch). Does this have any effect on the classification of "level" of programmer you are? Technically I'm a senior and do well at my job but the above makes me wonder... Who's on the same page, if anyone?

Overflow Property is creating issues on some android devices?? Need Help

I have built a mobile app (a website for mobile users) using Javascript, Xamarin and Asp.net MVC. I have used multiple tools to make sure the app run on multiple platforms. And regardless, what browser visitors are using.
I have tested the application on multiple devices and works fine:-
iOS 7 - Apple iPad Mini 3,Apple iPad Air 2, iPhone 5
Android 5.0 -
Mobile
Samsung Galaxy A8, HTC One E8, Huawei Honor 3X G750, Lenovo A7010
Tablet
Samsung Galaxy Tab A P555, , Huawei Media Pad T1 7.0 U-701 3G
Android 5.1.1 -
HTC One E8, Google Nexus 9
But, when the app was tested with Samsung Galaxy A9, Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and Tab 4 7.0 with operating system Android 5.0. I got some weird error. If 'overflow:auto' property is assigned to a div, the touch event is disable, scroll is present on the div . The parent div of the problematic div has a property of absolute position.
While using google, I found that you can't use the auto overflow with absolute position attribute. Right now, this issue is only visible with few pages as overflow property is only assigned to pages that describe North-East region of the USA. Please have a look at this page: http://militarybases.co/directory/tobyhanna-army-depot-base-in-tobyhanna-pa/. Right now, I have removed the 'overflow:auto', you can see scrolling is working perfectly(But it is a must requirement).
Right now, I can't remove the absolute position attribute(no way), as I have spent 1 month on the design and can't redesign the whole app. But I also needed the overflow property for ^^ pages.
Failed Solutions I have Tried:
I have used overflow with :scroll instead of :auto.
I also have tried webkit-backface-visibility:hidden.
In Javascript, I have tried 'iScroll'.
I have only 10 days in release and stuck in this mess.
