Hi everyone, after a bit of advice if I may?
I have developed an app, my first, for a company that will have 160-200 tablets out in the field collecting data and looking to send it back in batches to base, where it will be processed and put into a main SQL database developed system.
I am new to Android, so it has been quite a steep learning curve, but basically I have a static data file which holds all the info on the clients, addresses and so forth, and a data file which holds the user entry from the tablet. The files are SQLite databases, and I am looking to update back and forth over cellular in order to give a real time situation of all their field engineers.
The files are small, but I need to send back the user data to base, probably 10-15 times a day, and at least once a day I need to update the static data on the tablet in case there are new entries for the spinners.
I was considering using an FTP server for this transmission, is this the best way of doing it or is there a neater method? Budget is not really an issue here, so I am looking for the most solid and elegant solution I can find to this as I can see the requirements growing and growing.
Many thanks if someone can advise.....
