Short answer: the android device should do a POST with the pertinent data, and you write a web2py controller that does a db.mytable.insert(). <URL: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#insert> If the data can be updated, scroll down a bit in the book to read about update_record() and update_or_insert(). If you're having the android user access a web page to enter data, then you probably want to look at SQLFORM() .<URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/03/overview#An-image-blog> (scroll down to where you see "def show():") <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#SQLFORM> If you are writing a native app, then you'd make the native call to POST the data. (You can simulate this from a desktop using curl.exe from <URL:https://curl.haxx.se> ) /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
