Share My Creation [B4A] Firebase Notifications Alternative - Source Codes

Hello everyone

*Starting off by thanking the one, the only, the hero, @Erel for making this possible for every single one of us ♥

As requested by dear @ilan :

Any App Ideas? free sources :)

Delivery of apps within a business B4A OwnStore Enterprise customer with 25 android phones We make some useful apps We do not want to use Google enterprise features to deliver apps or rely on users installing from email We install app1 which is essentially an app store (maybe it has some...

www.b4x.com

We have created a notifications service, which means you can now host your own notifications services without the need to use any third party (Firebase)

* Dear @ilan requested the library to be in B4A+B4i+B4J so we will release the B4i + B4J as separate projects in the near future which will be different from this project.

The project works as follows :
1- B4J Admin :
1.1 You can create campaigns :
-Text only
-Text & Images
1.2 You can also create topics: The topics are what each user is registered to.
1.3 Users Information
1.4 Reports : where you can view a certain campaign status and delivery within a period of time.

2- Heavily modified JRDC2 to send/receive events, campaigns, register users, reports, etc..
3- MS SQL Database to store all the above information
4- B4A Library that connects to the JRDC2 in the background to send/receive events.

Features :
1- User's action on the notification is registered, meaning you can view if the user clicked or ignored it or even received it or not and every action date & time is registered as well.
2- We have created 200,000 virtual devices (by creating a loop in the JRDC2) + 5 real phone, then we created a campaign and sent it, within less than 1 second every device (real and virtual) received it.
3- The JRDC2 + B4A Library checks in case the user has no internet or disconnected from the server, once the user connects to the server (in the background) the user will receive the last campaign that we sent to everyone which he/she was disconnected.

Technology :
1- B4A library (.jar + .xml)
2- B4A Library Source code
3- Heavily modified JRDC2
4- B4J Admin
5- MS SQL Database

*We have also included a simple sample project which shows how to use the library

The Project in Action :

*Be noted that there are some devices that have custom android which may kill the background services if the user clicks on clear open & recent apps.

Project Price : 30$

As always, Thank you,

I know that I will receive criticism but I would like to make a general suggestion (also, I have never learned to be diplomatic and mind my own business ?).

I realize that you (Saif) are used to using MS Sql (excellent DBMS, of course) but I think most of B4X members would prefer to use MySql (/ Maria DB).

You (we) could open a poll thread; indeed, soon I will.


P.S. Somewhat redundant texts but I opened it.

Hello my dear,

Within 48 hours we will release the MySql version

*Am not suppose to share any details, but we are in the process of creating an new database engine "b4x database engine"
Will be released very soon


Thank you,
Saif

Very very soon...
And I can promise you that it's way better than MsSql and MySql

but we are in the process of creating an new database engine "b4x database engine"

If I understand well what it will be, it's a great idea

 

[sfsameer]

If I understand what it will be, it's a great idea

Faster, secure and 12 million records resulting in database size of 39kb only, meaning the data compression methods we used are more than amazing

The time of the select query of the 12 million records were 4 seconds (ms sql 30 minutes)

Also it can work on windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, ios or even a free php server like 000webhost (the ultimate cross platform)

I think I have shared way too much ? ?

Sorry, Saif, but after I heard you guys were doing a new database engine, I decided to try my hand at it.

So far, I have 15 million records in 37kb, and query all records only takes 2.8 seconds.

My engine works on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Commodore Amiga.

However, I will never share my code, so go ahead and share yours when you are ready.

Yes! I started with a VIC-20, went to Commodore 64, then Amiga 500, and, finally, Amiga 4000!

Ah, the good ol' days. Too bad the companies who owned those computers weren't able to capitalize on the superiority of their products!

If you work in Microsoft Windows environment, surely MsSql has some points more than MySql
But apart from the technical issues, the most important thing in my opinion, is the fact that the MySql license is not clear whether it can allow free use or not, because if you go to read it you will see that the use free is bound to use it on programs for which the source code must be visible
Personally, after trying both of them, I prefer MsSql

My beginnings were also very basic, I started with a ZXSpectrum on 1984, and then I was fortunate to have an Amiga2000 in 1988 with 3MB ram, 20MB hdd, Genlock, and many other things, Impressive for its time ???

Totally agree, it hurts that these companies did not have capital to finance and compete in the market, perhaps today the standard would not have been the PC that we all know.

From ZxSpectrum to Amiga.... from Sinclair to Commodore.... aaaggghhhhh...... betrayal, betrayal

Amiga was not designed by comodore ???, comodore was only the manufacturer.
Do you know that he had hidden in the rom v1.2 the name of who made the Amiga,... and comodore was not able to find it when he released the Amiga to Market? ???

4 sec vs 1800 sec ?

If the two systems have been tested under the same conditions (same hardware that supports them, same db structure, same number of rows present, search on non-indexed fields, no other program that uses cpu, etc.) the difference seems truly exceptional.
Are both interrogable via sql type language?
Are we sure that the comparison was made under the same conditions?

 

[sfsameer]

4 sec vs 1800 sec ?

Yes.

Are both interrogable via sql type language?

We have change the syntax a little bit to make it easier for example, to do a left join between table 1 and table 2

Select [Table1] and [Table2]
Left Join by [Tabel1].ID = [Table2].HeaderID

Are we sure that the comparison was made under the same conditions?

The Same Environment and The Same Server.

Left Join by

LEFT JOIN ON ?
is there any SQL syntax where the join is not called "ON"?

Sometimes the SQL Joins are very confusing specially if you have multiple joins in one query.
So using BY instead of ON make a big difference in understanding the query.

Also if you have noticed, the example query in my post is different from normal query, instead of "select * from" it's "Select" only
and the structure is different as well.

 

[Alexander Stolte]

We will see how it is then in use, I personally find the new syntax more confusing because it does not work as in traditional languages such as MSSQL, MySQL or PostgreSQL.

Good luck

Interesting...

Q. What if you just want a portion of the data in terms of particular fields?

Q. Will it be able to have offline and sync functionality?

1- Unlimited characters.

Currently the supported Data types :
1- Int
2- String
3- Images
4- numeric

But we are working on adding new data types, for example : Views which means you can store a layout, button, textbox, labels, etc... in the table.

2- Yes of course.

You can select columns by names or limit a number of rows
