Android Question Realtime CLV item update

[yiankos1]

Hello team,

I have jRDC server and a B4X app with timeline. Main page contains a CLV with couple of CLVitems(timeline posts).

My question is simple: which is the best way to update data of this item(likes counter, comments counter, comments, "someone is typing a comment") as big social apps do. In plain terms, move from static to interactive app.

My thought is to run an SQL query every couple of seconds? Is this the correct path?

Thank you for your time.

You should use WebSockets.

EDIT:
I don't know is it possible to use it with jRDC, but you could use it with B4J server.

jRDC2 is a regular B4J server app. You can extend it and add a WebSocket handler.

This (a bit old) example can be useful: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/custom-websocket-based-push-framework.40272/#content

Thank you both for pointing me the correct path....

as big social apps do

They use Real Time Notification, in which your app act as a listener to any push data from your server to your client app.
In our B4X, there are many real time notification libraries & examples, just search forum about.
