I'm looking at creating a HTML5 web app for use in offline data capture on an iPad. The idea is that someone would be able to take the iPad somewhere without an internet connection, have people fill out a registration form and save the data for later upload to a database.
I've created a proof-of-concept that works offline using appcache and stores data with web sql (was more structured than local storage).
The problem I'm facing is getting the data out of the web sql DB into a live server DB? Any ideas on how I can achieve this?
I'm aware that writing a native iOS app might be a better solution but I have neither the time to learn iOS development, the equipment to do it, nor a license from Apple.

I've been tasked with reverse engineering a Qlikview system to migrate to another BI platform. So far I can see dashboards through a browser, but can't change them at all. Having googled I can see there's a QlikView desktop app. Question, do I need the desktop app to see/adminster the data that's behind the dashboard or can I do that through a browser?
In short is my problem getting the QlikView application downloaded and configured, or one of permissions through my browser login.
You'll need the qvw file and QV desktop to open it. There is no other way to view/edit the data or the dashboard. If you want to edit the data (change it or reload the app to bring new data) you'll need access to the underlying data as well (databases, xls or csv files etc.).
P.S. The qvw might be protected with Section Access but if you can open it in the browser it might not be an issue.
I am complete newbie developer so forgive the silliness.
I am building an app where the users can download some forms/documents.
I want the forms to be on platform/cloud (such as onedrive) where the users can download it from and also where I can keep updating the forms/documents.
I do not know what system/process/api/cloud caters for this need.
Please I need the system to be cheap if not free.
thank you
working on app for android
in which using livesdk (for android) provided by microsoft to access skydrive on device
the problem is out to work offline???
how to initialize LiveConnectClient in that case
really needed help
ty in advance
The LiveSDKs and OneDrive-APIs are not meant to function offline as they require connectivity to their service components to retrieve data.
If you are looking to use the data retrieved by the LiveSDK while the client is not connected to the internet I would recommend coming up with an appropriate caching scheme so your application has the data it needs on hand.
When your application comes back online, you can synchronize its state with the view.changes to start the reconciling process.
I've tried using the download from the sencha website
http://www.sencha.com/learn/Tutorial:Taking_Sencha_Touch_Apps_Offline
when uploaded to my server and viewed on my ipad offline the app just says you need to be connected to the internet or words to that effect. Any ideas how to fix this or does anybody have a working offline example?
Not strictly related to the point, but you could take a look at PhoneGap (http://www.phonegap.com/) if you're looking for a more complete offline solution, at the price of a higher complexity and app store issues.
I found it quite well done and it offers a greater flexibility wrt offline storage and native access.
Let's say I have a WordPress forum and I want to create an iPhone application that takes a photo and post the photo on the forum. Is it possible to access forum's database from iPhone?
I have some of basic knowledge how to send and receive information between iPhone and a web server. I have done a couple of applications that sync with web server. I wrote php scripts to access MySQL database and send data back to device in XML format. But I am not sure I can still do this kinds of work with third party forums such as WordPass or any well known forum..
Thanks in advance..
