Browser problems

There were some browser problems i.e direct RPC mysql is not possible because of a) sandboxing leading to Google's own connector with is only applicable for Premier editions which is paid. So we turn to http requests which don't work directly because of SOP same origin policy. So finally using a proxy servlet and RPC to talk using post we could communicate with the web server.

Well we could now complete the whole project in 5 days. Hopefully and then end it with documentation.

As for now browser -> web server-> database is done done done.

Database

This is really a new challenge we are facing. I at first informed you about database choices. I feel I would pragmatically decide to use MYSQL. Let us see how things turn up. Hopefully they would turn out to be better.

Can any one tell me tips and trick of servlet and MYSQL. How to work about it online.

Two problems

After speaking to

Prakash Sir we found out that a major part of the code that is server side code remained. Here there are various options like RPC, HTTP requests etc. But one important thing is that RPC is great and is inbuilt in default google project when we use eclipse. One can use flow player etc etc. But it should be compatible with the google app engine.

Another thing is about the android client is that what should we use XML RPC , JSON RPC or posts and gets. I would upload a complete helper for others on how I solved my problems. But for now I have chosen HTTP gets etc. For browser it would be RPC. Of course there is a discussion on XML vs JSON RPC and in case of android I find after goggling that XML RPC is meant for J2ME and you can go on with some technical changes required. in XML libraries. But on performance one should look at JSON if for RPC and preferably HTTP requests.

Others may disagree.

one important thing in my opinion is to make a cloud application which should not only include the browser but also include tablets smart phones and regular phone.To be precise most of the clients connecting the internet.

The problem to communicate with the server is solved as for now in case of both the android phone and the browser. I am happy for it. Hopefully I would be able to get things done regarding database and server connectivity. The above digram will illustrate the problem solved and unsolved.

Hope to show a good project in the coming competition.

I have to admit I haven't blogged for a long time but hopefully I would love to be regular.

After a long time

I am sorry that after a long time I have started to blog again. Well there were some placements going on so I was busy. As far as android is concerned one has to think. I have been able to work with listactivity and am now working on databases along with servlets. These two remain our greatest challenges.I have now put a self made deadline of 14th of Feb. I would expect to complete the whole thing by that time.
