Hey Forum!
A few days ago i downloaded B4A trial and started playing with it. My prior coding experiences are only a bit of html and php, so please forgive me my newbi question
I'm doing my own little tutorials with small aims, like populating ListViews and Spinners, etc. Everything went fine so far.
Now i want to go one step ahead: I want to get data from a websource, permanently save this data into the app and then use it. This little project should look like this:
----------------------------
Four buttons and one Label.
-
Recieve eight textstrings from the web.
-
Permanently save those strings into the app
-
Set Button1.Text = String1
Set Button2.Text = String2
Set Button3.Text = String3
Set Button4.Text = String4
-
When Button1_Click
Set Label1.Text = String 5
When Button2_Click
Set Label1.Text = String 6
When Button3_Click
Set Label1.Text = String 7
When Button4_Click
Set Label1.Text = String 8
----------------------------
Making the button click events and setting the textes shouldn't be a probelm.
But i don't know how i should do the webcommunication and how to store the strings into the app.
I did some forum searches, but i cannot find my starting point (maybe also because i'm not sure which search terms to use).
My questions are:
What options do i have in general to do the webcommunication?
What options do i have in general to store data permanently in the app?
In this special usecase, what options would you choose?
I would be also happy if you would give me some links to up-to-date tutorials associated to my questions.
Thx for your help!
