There is anybody who have experience doing this? what kind of table use?
Thanks in advange and sorry my english!


Buenas tardes.
Les consulto.
Existe la manera de armar un app que cargue una lista de productos accediendo directamente a internet?

Quien tenga experiencia, como lo ha resuelto? que tipo de tabla, etc?
Muchas gracias!

ftp is more static than a live request through a webpage.

so I would go for a web solution.

I'm not sure what you mean with "what kind of table to use?" tho.
You can use interchange formats like csv, xml, json or create your own.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Yes, ftp would be better I think...
I meant if I could to use SQLite for example.

What I need to do:
Somehow, my customer should add the products in a ftp or something
Then my app, have to show that products, and give an option to make a purchase.

My doubt is if I read online the products, or update a file stored in the cell phone

Do you know if there is same example for doing this?
Thanks

actually I wrote that ftp ain't better

it's static and you rely on the uploader.

with web it's online once they added a product in their management page.

you don't need sqlite for what you want to do, just parsing a text file is fast enough.

Oh, I misunderstood! (I think ftp was better)
Ok, thanks a lot. I'm gonna make some test and if my customer accept my budget... hands at work!
