Hi all,
I'm sending this message because I have to start to development a
little application for PDAs to allow my users to make orders to request
food in a hospital which has WIFI connection but not in all the areas
of the building. I⤙ve never done an application for PDAs but as I
understand the data we store in the PDAs has to be resumed because
these devices have a limited memory, right? And we also have to give to
the user the possibility to work disconnected from the main data base,
right?
The main program is in another language, not Windev, and we use MSSQL
to storage the data.
Before start this application I would like to know the answer to some
questions that I⤙ve by hoping that the experts of this forum can answer
them ïÁ¦
1- What⤙s the most suitable way to develop something for a PDA, make an
application using WD mobile or make a web application with WebDev to
run on the PDA? Which one would be the best way?
2- What should I use to storage the information on the PDA? Use Hyper
file or some other format? Because as far as I know it is not possible
to use MSSQL, right?
3- To extract the data from the PDA do I need some special program to
synchronize the data with the main application or do I need to create
some function in my main program to read the data from the PDA to
update the database? Or maybe this function should be in the PDA
program? I don⤙t have a clear idea about this.
4- If we don⤙t know exactly the PDA model that our users will have
should we develop the windows for some particular resolution, it is
possible to change the screen resolution by code to adjust the
application to any PDA model?
Well, I guess for the moment this is enough to start.
Thank you very much in advance for any that can help me with this
issue. Any suggestion or advice will be appreciated.
Regards!
Victoria Caballero
