Hi Guys I am looking for someone who can assist in creating an Android App for me. The app will be simple: Users should see 3 fields: 1. Names 2. Surname 3. ID They should complete all three fields and press submit. The app should connect to my MySQL Database and check whether the three fields correspond with the information in the database and return a message confirming that the information was Verified or Unable to Verify Information. If you can do this, please PM me with your costs for such app. The app should work on most popular versions of Android.
Hi, I'd be glad to help with this, and I wouldn't need any kind of payment for such a simple app. However, what you have indicated would require a MySQL database setup on a server with an API of some kind to accept the 3 fields, check them, and return a value back to the Android app. Keep in mind that apps don't/shouldn't directly connect to databases (unless they are embedded/local SQLite databases), as they must go over the network and connect to a server via an API of some kind. This is how all apps work with regards to connectivity and pulling/pushing of data to a centralized location. Do you have a MySQL database/API setup? If not, I'd be glad to assist in setting something simple up for you, assuming you have a server on which to deploy a MySQL database. We could create a simple database table with the values to check against, as well as pretty simple PHP file that accepts the 3 fields from the app. The PHP file could do the SQL verification and then return a boolean value back to the app for display. Pretty simple stuff if you have the needed platform in place. This could be done in a matter of an hour or two, probably. Let me know how I can help. Thanks!
You could create a form on a site and then use an Android App wrapper for something this easy. http://www.appsgeyser.com/
V_Rocks is correct that you can do this in a web-based/HTML5 app if needed, or you can use one of those handy online tools as mentioned to "generate" the code needed for the app or to deploy from their systems. Usually these cost money, though, and you have very little control over the specifics that aren't included in their 'packages'. However, if you want a natively-built app, then you would need to go with an approach that involves actual Java/Android code. Usually the latter is the suggested approach for apps, as HTML5/web-apps are declining in recent months (most large businesses have stopped going that approach - Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). Reasons being the experience the user gets from a web-app vs. a natively-built app.
