A few thoughts; 1 - contacts: have you considered reusing the contacts API, or activity, I think it would provide for a more robust and familiar user experience allowing users to pull from their phone's contacts which are also maintained online (gmail) rather than maintaining 2 distinct set of contacts. You can simply use a new group to distinguish from all other contacts.
2 - sales and retention as redders pointed out you need to decide if this is local or centralized information. The local use is straightforward, and the developer documentation has several sqlite examples.n If you want centralized data you will need to architect a server side solution, most likely serving xml records from a MySQL database, with some method of race protection (you dont want two agents editing the same sale at the same time) On Dec 28, 1:18 am, StouteEnterprises <[email protected]> wrote: > I just started creating applications for the android system and am > still very new to the programming.
