Ok, maybe it is time I'm gong to get round to playing with B4J. After deciding that a particular android app is not possible with the results I wanted (android issues, not b4a). I have decided to take a different approach. Before I go balls deep in the b4j environment can someone tell me if this plan is feasible or not.
I want to monitor a particular web page and create some sort of notification popup, system alert (which ever) if the page changes.
Basically,the page contains a list of addresses plus some other data, but on the addresses change i.e. new ones get added. I'm thinking requesting the html, say every 5 or 10 minutes, and check it against the previously saved state.
Thoughts please?
I see b4j has a timer, can timers go up to 10 minutes, does timer have any limits?
How would I get the page content, httpUtils?
What possibilities are there for alerting the user of the pc. Notifications, alerts, etc.....
At the moment, it's a case of manually refreshing the page and checking the list. This is tedious work, day in, day out. Hence I'm trying to automate it somewhat.
Thanks
