Is there i can automatically move new downloaded messages to a specific folder? or any 3rd apps available for this process.
qmail
qmail has this facility, but the manual is in Japanese...the best English manual is
http://www.azol.ru/texts/QMail3_eng_FAQ.htm
you can run it on the sd card and it has powerful macros, so that you can put new emails into folders based on age, based on text in the email, etc.
With that said, I'm still figuring out how to do this and I don't read Japanese.
*BUMP*
I'm looking for a way to do this as well. I was hoping there would just be a plugin to modify the existing email client to support this.
Can anyone help, I am looking for a way to create a small application that allows the WM5 & WM6 Contacts to a .xml file. And Mabey a way to feed it to a server (FTP)
Can anyone help with this?
I am basically trying to find a way to backup massive ammounts of contaccts to a webserver for over 800 users
Just write your own tool for it
For example with .NET it's possible to interact with the contacts-file using the .NETCF classes.
.NETCF also supports XML functionality.
you do the math
Pocket SMS Manager
Hi,
My PocketSMS Manager does this. It may not export enough detail for you though. Have a look at my application (further down this thread).
If you need more fields exporting just let me know as it will only take me a few minutes to drop them in.

Hi!
I'm rather newbie developing for Android, and I'm kind of lost...but here goes what I'd like to do:
I'd like my app to have a local database that is updated from online, either downloading a new file each time versions don't match (which I find hard), or somehow to download/upload the latest insertions to an online file.
I'd like it to work somehow offline allowing to sync anytime that there's connection, so I'd like a local DB where the query is made, but I also want it to be synced as much as I can. Users should also be able to add new rows to the table, that could be done at any time the user decides to sync.
So...How can I implement an online database? And also, as a sidenote...Where could I host my DB? Is there any free hosting I could rely on? In my opinion it should be a rather small DB...
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm going to write a system for processing taxi orders. It consits of client application, driver application and restfull web service. For now I have only a few POST resources in my server that consumes JSON file and produces plain text. I'm wondering how to resolve the situation when the client need confirmation about the order he made or when the new order is made and has to be delivered to taxi driver app. I am a beginner android developer and I do not know which tools should I consider to achieve it. Is it good idea to use a service that checks let say every 30sec for new order/confirmation or shuld I use another solution for example let REST to connect directly to the particular android device?
Thank you in andvance for your response.

Thanks for the idea. I didn't know about it before. I have just one question - since I use RESTful service the easiest way to implement GCM is to choose http protocol (single POST request) but there is no upstream feature in it. Is it good approach to use GCM in "server -> android" connection and regular POST request (that I used till now) vice versa?
Hi,
I am wondering what possible ways would be for loading a simple website into my app. My first thought is using a WebView, but I would like a dynamic app, while webview takes some time when loading between pages and links.
Is a common solution to load the html resources locally, from let say the assets folder? Than I could use AsyncTask to keep the files up to date and whenever the app starts it would load and work much quickly.
Or should I use HTTP Requests and parse the external Html document?
What would be the most situable solution for this kind of app?
Thanks,
Ved

I think it's probably a decision best made by yourself. You have not said what type of data ? Cause really you should be wanting the minimal amount required. My app uses lots of data from my server for things like themes, but these come direct from SQL Database

Hi deanwray,
Thanks for your reply. I made some more researching and I have realised that my best bet is SQL, as you said.
Do you request data in your app directly from the online mySql database generally? I have read about a technique on downloading the data from the online database and converting it to SQLite (which is the local database on android) inside the application. This would be really cool, would really boost performance.

well my app uses a hosted database for
Online Theme Data (thumbnails store in just web space)
Settings Overrides (settings that I may have to force on the app)
Announcements ( Messages that trigger dialogs, adverts, html boxes)
Purchase info
other stuff that I forget
Any database that I access online I cache data local in cache sqlite database
So lets say the most complex things is the purchase list... a rough flow is as follows :
Get idents from online purchasable list
get descriptions and titles from idents
store local database
Simultaneous query of google IAP data from play to get locale info and pricing (along with IAP ident)
Store that in same local db
Display to user at, initial data, updated data and price additions
The database online is accessed via php (not a fan of that but hey ho, not really a programmer so there ya go) and given to the app as encoded JSON
I'm currently considering an ORM system like greenDAO or something like that...but not looked too much into it currently.
The themes database is quite good as it hold descriptions of views, shading, dimensions etc, these too are never displayed to the user from the server, but are cached local, cause failure of internet and failure of sync should not prevent any vital parts of what appears to be an offline app from working (e.g. my Smart SMS app)
Hope that helps, I could pass you the php although tis quite simple, there are security issues to look out for though

Thanks for the details! It was really useful to see your workflow, I was not sure about the direction I should choose for my app development, but now is much clearer.
Thanks!

Hy deanwray,
I could use a litle help, regarding the methods you have adopted for synchronising your online database with your apps local database.
I have reached a point where my database is ready, I am parsing (via JSON) data from a local xml file, and inserting it into my SQLite database. Everything works ok, but I need to get the data from my online mySql server into my app on a regular basis.
I have found threads wich mentiones the Android sync adapter, and others where people use the HTTPClient to pass data to/from the server. To be hones I am a bit confused, I would really glad if you could light me up on what would be the best approach, or what works for you the best
Thanks!!
