We're running a couchapp on TouchDB Android. The app has a "check for update" option that of course, just starts a replication against the the version running online. But I'd like to tell the user either "update in progress" or "no update available."
It seems that I should just need to compare the rev of the local _design doc against the remote _design doc. Is there a way to request just the _rev of the remote doc? So far I've only been able to retrieve the entire document, which in the case of a couchapp is pretty big. As I was just writing that, it came to mind that I might just be better off creating a separate document that has a last update/version number in it. Any other approaches to this problem? Thanks for the help! --------------------------- www.maf.org/rhoads www.ontherhoads.org
