Hey guys!
I am putting together an app to act as a simple chat with multiple chat rooms, and location sharing. I am using MQTT for the chatrooms, and I am trying to get CloudKVS to act as the server for the other information such as location, and other permanent information on each user.
My issue is I cannot get each cloudkvs client to read the data from other users other than themselves. If multiple clients connect to the same 'user' that works fine. But then I would have to use a large map for all of the information on all of the clients, and that poses some problems for privacy in the future. I could do that, but I think it defeats the purpose of having multiple 'users' in the database.
Even if I use @Erel 's cloudkvs examples on an ipod and an android, I can share data if both clients use the same user but not if they use diferent users, even if I know all clients user names.
Is CloudKVS not going to work for me? If not, what is a simple B4J database solution that connects easily with b4a and b4i that you can suggest for me? Ideally there is an example from which I can learn. I was using CloudKVS because it is a simple server side database to setup. Previously I used firebase and that worked well with the JSON trees and all, but the database implementation in b4x wasnt working well at the time and for my new project I wanted to try and implement something simpler. Should I change to a diferent database server type, other than cloudkvs? Or am I just not seeing something? Can one user look into another users information on CloudKVS?
Thanks!!
