mobile-desktop sharing

[HansRij]

Is there a preferred way to share data between the mobile and he destop version of a Livecode application?

A hosted file on a server is the only way I know of.

Yep, like Bogs said. The modern world of multi-device interoperability is driven by cloud services. These need not be public clouds; a simple VPS or even shared host can work very well for many tasks. But some external server is how most data syncing is done these days.

https://livecloud.io/ could be useful here. LiveCloud is a LiveCode native solution. It can sync data between your app and the cloud with a single line of code:

Code: Select all

get cdb_sync("*","tableName","cloud",false,false)

I am one of the developers on the project. It could be argued that I may be biased. Please take this as an informational message.

Hi Bogs,

I found myself catching up on things in the forums on this beautiful weekend. I felt guilty, not jumping in here and saying hello. Glad to see you are here as well.

I hope all your weekends go beautifully, no guilt and no pressure please
