Saving files from Android devices to external servers has presented challenges in the past. This is a SIMPLE approach. It assumes you are running LiveCode server on the server site. Installing this requires a careful procedure described elsewhere (see https://livecode.com/resources/guides/server/ and references therein). The on-rev site runs this software, so posting this file to the on-rev server should be enough (untested).
On the server, you have a file saveMyFile.lc: <?lc put $_POST["tFileName"] into tTheNewFileName put $_POST["tFileText"] into tFileText put tFileText into URL("file:"&defaultFolder&"/"&tTheNewFileName) ?> This will place the new file in the same folder as the saveMyFile.lc. On the Web-connected Android app you have something (like a button) executing this script: on mouseUp put (line 2 of fld "theFileName") into tFileName put URLencode(tFileName) into tFileName put fld "RecordFile" into tFileText put URLencode(tFileText) into tFileText post ("tFileName="&tFileName&"&tFileText="&tFileText) to URL " http://yourServerAndFolderWithThisFile/saveMyFile.lc" end mouseUp While the security of this approach is poor and there is no error checking, it does get you started. Because LC allows easy manipulation of text, saving text files often beats saving in databases. It is a GREAT DEAL EASIER to accomplish this simple task in desktop apps using statements like put thisFile into URL (this location). You don't have to manage the server side (assuming writing permissions are set properly). Methods using other server-side approaches (like php) are described elsewhere, too. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
