Android Question Database app that connects with a cloud based database

[rleiman]

Database app that connects with a cloud based database.

Can this be done in B4A? If the answer is yes, is there a tutorial that shows how to create views that collect data on an Android device and upload the data onto a cloud based database? I'm also looking for something to learn from that will also allow the user to change and delete data from the cloud based database as well as allowing a user to do a search or soft search displaying say up to 10 rows of database table rows.

Thanks.

Yes you can create B4A apps that connect to cloud based databases, but it depends on which service(s) you want to connect to...

What's the difference between a hosted Server with a db and a "cloud"?

What's the difference between a hosted Server with a db and a "cloud"?

AFAIK, one difference is that an hosted server binds your Virtual Machine to the physical server's hardware, while a cloud configuration (sort of) spreads the VM onto several servers.
So a failing hosted server will take down all the VMs on it, while a cloud config is more resilient.
