Microsoft Azure

[avacondios]

Hi Erel,

Microsoft offers free java api for the support of Microsoft Azure services (MsSql database, push functionality, etc). Is it in your plans to provide us, a wrapper library for the support of MS Azure ?

Also, can you propose alternative mobile services ?

Microsoft Azure supports REST API which means that you can access it with HttpUtils2. I will however move it to the wishlist forum as it is a good candidate for a tutorial.

Azure

A Tutorial on Azure would be very useful.

Microsoft are holding a free World-Wide boot camp on Saturday open to developers to showcase the Windows Azure services.

I'll be attending in Manchester, in the UK.

If we could get a framework tutorial developed it would be nice for me to also show how Basic4Android can integrate to Windows Azure through android to fellow developers there.

Thanks,

Any news for this moment of 2014 ?

I was hoping there would be a library available for this. The source is available at:

https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-mobile-services

I've downloaded it & compiled it and then created an XML file using Javadoc & BADoclet but hadn't realised that you have to modify the source to include refs to A4B libraries and annotate the source which is beyond me!

Any thoughts on if & when this could be added?

Many thanks.

Which service are you interested in? The storage service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd179428.aspx ?

No.
It's the Mobile Services I am interested in

Particularly the data service (using untyped data), authentication and push. The source for all of them is available on Github.

Any thoughts on my last post, Erel.

I'm evaluating B4A for a client and this is a must have. It is trivial using phonegap & the Microsoft javascript library and although I much prefer B4A I think the client will opt for the other candidate unless I can demonstrate B4A accessing this library.

The Projects name is B4A or Basic4Android, Not A4B

 

[Erel]

I did look into it, however this is a "heavy" library. It might be added in the future.

Thanks, Erel. I was going to try this myself but 'heavy' is a little off-putting!

+1 very important library

 

[keirS]

All the mobile services the authentication service and most of the storage services are available via REST api's . It's not difficult to implement a REST client in B4A.

 

[ErickKurniawan]

We need java library for authentication and push notification

sorry for posting on old thread, I just got started using Azure at work for hosting, and would love to use it at home for game highscore boards with my b4a games
