Can i use dropbox as database ? Mean i use to store client data and retrieve client data from dropbox ? Does this work ? Anyone can share link or video teach ? I am new in android ap
I would highly recommend NOT using Dropbox as a database. If you only store data for a single user, it may be OK. However, if the user accesses things concurrently on multiple devices, Dropbox will not give you the guarantees in terms of data integrity you want.
If you need an easy to setup thing, look into Firebase.

As an act of support to our over-worked and under-appreciated Revo developers, I'm mirroring any and all Revo-related files.
I've set up an FTP account on my server for developers to store files, and then I'll copy them over to the web site: http://tazr.net/lgrevo/
Any developers who would like to upload to the FTP site, please email me via XDA (don't send a PM, I rarely check them, send me a direct email from the menu) and I will send you the login info.
Why am I doing this? I pay for unlimited bandwidth, and I was getting tired of the free hosting sites always shutting down the download links for too much usage. Figured I'd step up to the plate and just host the files plain and simple.
Thanks

Hi there,
I don't know whether this is the right place for my inquiry:
I'm searching an notes APP that can be used as shopping list and which can be synchronized to several devices (Androids). YES there are plenty of those available in the market. But mostly they use their own server and I have to register. In many cases you have to provide your google account - then I'm not able to synchronize to my wive's mobile (with her own account). Maybe there are possibilities with google drive or dropbox etc. but instead of working with high fancy tools, why not simply having a notepad that synchronizes through a FTP - this is what I have anyhow and I can give access to whom I want.
Does anyone of you out there has an idea how to get it done?
Many thanks !!

there`s No idea?
Still nothing ?
So I have this app idea (don't we all), I have been programming apps for around two years so im not a beginner, but this is my biggest project to date. I want app to allow users to login using Facebook, it allows them to post a few words to this wall in the app. It allows your Facebook freinds to view these words and they can heart it within the app. This then sends you a notification etc. I know I will need to store data to a external database. What do I store it under, their facebook profile name which I can get from when they login? Would this allow me to then get me all their freinds on Facebook and search through the database for data containing their freinds names to get their likes?
I just need a way to allow users to post, interact and share with all their other freinds of Facebook. Whilst storing data so if they logout and login on someone elses phone they load everything up that was on their phone.
Many Thanks
You will need to use something called Parse, here's a guide to setting it up with a service called Heroku, since Parse has shut down: robpercival.co.uk/parse-setup-on-heroku. Thanks

I am a student and I have a project to create a app for reservation . My question is how to show the data according to my database.
Like a student login his account and how to show his profile information according to the database.
Is there any coding to add it to scrape the data from the database and show it on my application?
And I use the SQLiteDatabase for my database.
please some body help me... Thank you
Divide your work into steps, that is:
1. If you are keeping a database in a website then there should be a piece of code on the website which takes requests in form of username and password, and returns the data.
2. If you can't do this but the data is on the internet then the unsafe way would be to download the whole database and then authenticate and search using client side code (security experts will want to murder you, though).
3. If you are going to populate the data from scratch only using your application, then Firebase by Google is a good and free solution for student level apps. Here you can have the data on Google's servers and request the data using user-password authentication. This is very safe method.
If you decide to use Sql, the typical unsafe query would be similar to querying using WHERE command wherein the parameters are username and password. But that should only be done on your website, and not on the client.

You can use firebase database. It is free until you reach a quota.

In general, some websites will expose methods, such as web services, for users to login while more another ones will not for security reason. But both of them will not enable their users to access their database directly.
