Good morning all.
Newbie question.
I am an independent software developer coming from a PHP/Javascript/Bootstrap/Jquery/HTML background.
I have just completed a new mobile phone app using these technologies. The application is for drivers to record proof of deliveries (POD). They have an option to retrieve the delivery data from the HQ server, collect POD data and also take and upload a picture of the freight. It is designed to be accessed through a smartphone browser (Chrome/Safari etc). In trials we have run into problems with different phone models and browser issues, so I am now considering moving to an actual phone app. i.e. using B4A
Even though I have dabbled with B4A I thought it worth reaching out to the Forum and asking a couple of questions.
1. Is there a recommended up to date video on getting started?
2. Can B4A access a remote MariaDB database?
3. In the event the smartphone is not receiving a signal/out of range, can B4A detect that?
4. Can B4A deploy and use a local DB such as SQLITE to store data if out of signal?
5. Can B4A access the smartphone camera, take pictures and upload these to a server?
6. If I write the code in B4A can it be ported to an Iphone quite easily?
Thanks very much for any input.
