Mobile app development with real-world database connectivity
« on: January 30, 2015, 02:32:06 pm »
Lazarus is great but we also need to develop a mobile app to compliment our existing professional desktop application. need to connect to a web/cloud server database eg MySQL.  are there any real world example projects, plug ins, which lay down the foundations so we don't re-invent the wheel.  ergo. Connect, secure log in, view/modify shared data etc. Windows Phone and/or Android.

I wrote a similar program a number of years ago now. The mobile (WinCE) used a networking library(lNet, Synapse, Indy10) to communicate with a middle ware program that connected with the database. Encryption was handled using the built in blowfish library. Today Android is possible but think MS limited development for Windows Phone so that may not be possible. You might want to consider the Brook framework that is available today.

There are at least 2 Android demos with SQLite here. Note that you don't actually need Eclipse despite the demo projects are Eclipse compatible, simply built with ant.

thanks for the replies folks,  took a look at the Brook framework but doesn't appear like there's much happening recently.
eg last updates a year ago, and broken demo links:  take a look a database demo here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/135304375/brookframework/demos/index.html
so i guess judging by the lack of real-world stuff available we'd have to invent the wheel on such a project. best regards
