After reading the Nodepad tutorial for Android, which uses the SQLlite database, I decided to write a version of the same app that uses an off-board database. I replaced the SQLlite database adapter class with a NextDBAdapter class that communicates with the NextDB.net servers to execute queries, inserts, updates and deletes. I also enhanced the example code to make the database calls outside the main thread, using AsyncTask. The code is intentionally simple and short, but it provides a good starting point to using the NextDB.net system to store application data off-board-- in the "cloud" (I apologize for the buzzwordery).
Here is the code: http://code.google.com/p/nextdb/source/browse/#svn/trunk/mobile/android/ The benefits of using an off-board database, over the on-board SQLlite database is that the data can be shared with other apps, allowing phone to phone communication. Also since NextDB has both REST and AJAX API's, you can also communicate between the phone and the web. This is an overview on the NextDB.net wiki: http://nextdb.net/wiki/en/Android Enjoy, Brent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
