can nimblekit do this

[xand49]

Hello,

I'm looking to build my first app, hopefully with NK, first I have a question about it's capabilities.

I'm looking to make a data collection app for a trade show, the trade show is densely packed with stands which makes a stable wifi connection almost impossible to maintain.

I'm looking for the functionality to save the data to a database/xml system and then recover the information, also i then need to be able to sync this to a central web based DB at the end of a day and re-sync the info to each ipad in the fleet.

It looks like you´ll need to save local data in the app and then send it later to a server right? NK have sqlite database, also you can use Ajax to post/get data to any webserver you want, just like a normal web development project NK provides what you want

Yes Nimblekit is perfectly capable.

You'll need a php (or similar) webserver probably running a mysql database.

You'll then within your app need to make requests to the server to either update the server, or get info to update your app.

As long as your capable of using all these technologies, then Nimblekit would be perfect for this.

You beat me to it!

Thanks for the info,

whats the interface with sqlite like? are there any modules built for this?

side question (is it capable of taking in app photos and saving them into the DB?)

Check the docs at http://nimblekit.com/supportfiles/NimbleKitDoc.pdf to see the NK API methods. There is an entire section dedicated to SQlite where you can easily create your DB, query it an insert data. And yes, you can take pictures and save them on the device and DB as well The docs on the link above will show you what NK provides you
