Android :: Get Online Data And Store It In Droid?
Sep 30, 2010
I'm getting hung up on how to handle the data for an app I'm designing. I want to pull a list of items from the net. The data is updated routinely, and I think it would be good to store all the data on the device so the app can load quickly and refresh the data in a background thread rather than have to wait for the network on every start-up.
I think I should make the data available in an XML and have a thread parse and save into a SQLite DB, but I'm not sure if that's the "best practice." Are there other ways that people go about handling this?

I'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

I've been researching phones for my first smart phone for about 6 months.I've almost decided on the Droid X.I think I will buy it at the one year price.On line, the one year contract price is $269.99.I stopped in at my local corp. store just a few minutes ago and their price for a one year contract on a Droid X was $319.99, $50.00 more.This was just the phone, no accessories added. They told me that the $269.99 was a special on line price and I told them it was a system-wide price.Who's right and is this normal and I just didn't know it or are they trying to rip off an old man?

I would like to know if there is going to be an opportunity to have a(n) Android app/Store on line (yes just like A**le-*tunes)?
Appbrain is AWESOME. If you noticed, I know you did, that FastWebInstaller comes up w/ a note via the phone that it is not-operational b/c google updated the market w/o FWI able to preform.
That makes me believe that perhaps google is setting up this whole online experience. It seems like AppBrain is "hooked" up w/ Google (cause you use ur google sign in).
Obviously I dont have the skinny on inside info. I KNOW some of yous do.
Shed some sunshine NOT light on this query I have.

I am developing an Android application where you should be able to browse restaurants.
Im retrieving the information about the restaurants from a service, they are not stored locally on the device. But I want to allow the user to add a restaurant to his/her favorites.
What is the "best" way to store that kind of info on the device? Should I use Shared Preferences or Sqlite db? Or any other suggestions?

I received a letter from Verizon a month ago offering me an extra $50 credit for my NE2 upgrade to make a total of $150 - the catch was the offer expired April 15. Right then I knew the Incredible would be released after 4/15!
My question is - is there any hope of convincing vzw online sales or a store to extend the expiration date of the credit? I asked one online sales person and they said "no we can't do that for an online sale, but call a store, and they might be able to". So I called a store and they said "no when it comes in we won't be able to do that, but maybe online sales can". So is this a futile attempt? Should I wait until they are in stores on 4/29 and go in and talk to a manager? Or give up and pre-order now?

I need to store data to use in my android program. Here are the details about the data: There will be one table. Each "row" of data will have a unique INT identifier. Other then that field, there will be four other INT fields and a text field. The string field will probably be a 2 or 3 sentences long. Each of the 4 INT fields will correspond to the ID of other rows.

I'm trying to use the code below to connect to an online source, then compare the data as it is read line by line against what is typed in an EditText field before displaying the next page. At the moment when I run it and press the "Sign In" button nothing happens. The problem seems to be with the comparison of the data.

I'm writing an application that needs to store some small jpeg or pngs. Looking at the documentation i have seen that databases are stored under /data/data/package_name/databases I decided to store my data under /data/data/package_name/files. With the emulator i can see all these files (databases and images) under the proposed directories but moving the application on a real device and installing a file system browser i cannot see any file under /data. Can anyone explain me why? My application works perfectly on my mobile (HTC magic) so i think that data is downloaded and stored. If this is a security constraint,do i need to put the application under debug on the mobile in order to inspect file system?

For a particular activity - what is the best way to store data that needs to be displayed. The issue is that when the user changes orientation, you need to be able to re-render your activity which means you need to get back at that data that you use to render. I understand the MVC design pattern, but I guess I'm wondering where the M should be stored. Global variables? Static members of your activity? Serialized to private storage?

This issue has troubled me a lot, please help if you have any ideas.
- I am accessing an xml file from withing the apk, (stored in /res/ raw). The xml is read succesfully. My goal is to use this xml file as data that can be changed in the apk.
- I tried unpacking and packing the apk file with ZIP compression and the newly packed apk worked on the phone.
- I changed the xml file and packed the contents of the apk into a new apk
- "install was unsuccesful" was the result of installing the new apk
As I see it, for every file stored into the apk, there are equivalent references stored in the manifest and cert files:
for example: SHA1-Digest: YS8iSCii71WMNrK7CHy5XLXBo+k=
Do you have any other ideas of how I can store/alter information into the APK?

I'm looking for the best way to allow users to sync their data to their gmail account. The idea is to be able to access the same data via my other applications for computers, phones, etc... I need it to be a free service... The data is a list of items that contains a title tied to a playlist. Anyone know of a particular Google lab allowing such data? Or other cloud services?

I want to store location data in sqlite. A latitude coordinate is a double, with 15 point precision. As far as I can tell this corresponds with the 'REAL' datatype which is 8 bytes. The alternative I suppose would be to store it as a String, and simply convert it back into a double later. Does it make any odds which way I go? Are there differences in storage capacity / efficiency?

I want to store some additional data for each contact on Android.
I would have in mind creating my own database table for it, and then bind them to the real contact via a unique id.
I am wondering if Android has built in functionality to store additional data against contacts?
EDIT 2
Is there a defined field for birthday of the contact?
How do I store a date field?

I'm writing an application wherein users will sometimes make orders through it. I want to give users the option to save their billing info (name, address, etc.) so that it can be quickly restored later if they want to make another order. The user will enter a password to secure the data. Obviously I can't just put this as a file on the device, as anyone can root/find the data. Is there a built-in Android method for storing secure data that is locked with a password? If not, what is a good place to start for storing this data securely using Java?

I'm developing an Android and web application that will function as a service (use the same data). My question is how should the data be stored to allow for both the web and the android application to have access to the same set of data? Should the android application connect to the sites MySQL server to store/access data? If so how do I allow someone to access the data when they are not in a service area?
