Hi Jeff, Thanks for the response. Yes, I know *how* to do it, I was just curious if others were doing it also - mostly so I could pick other's brains on best practices and such. The IBM i (fka AS/400, then iSeries, then System i5) is used by many "mainframe" sized companies that do a lot of data driven style applications and I am curious to know how people are delivering data to the android device. I have begun to dip my toes into SenchaTouch and that seems to work ok. I have also looked into delivering meta-data style forms via JSON to the android device and have the form rendered on the fly. This approach would be taken to lessen the amount of android/client-side development needing to take place and instead all the screen/panel definitions would be stored on the server (makes deployment a breeze). Again, my approach is mostly for data driven/data entry apps and NOT for the whizbang apps like TalkTom or Games or weather.
I do agree that a lot of what I am talking about is server agnostic, but it never hurts to find other souls that are operating on the same server/language environment :-) Thanks again for responding, Aaron Bartell On Mon, Oct 4, 2010 at 2:42 PM, Jeffrey Kesselman <[email protected]> wrote: > Im not sure what you mean. > > Android supports true TCP/IP sockets.
