I think that if you create a plugin for PhoneGap to connect remote MySQL database, "Database Connector" could be the "DW extension best seller" of 2014...

Actually we are already working on this

In the latest version of the DMXzone Database Connector and the new DMXzone Database Updater, the usage of JSONP as default data retrieval protocol is already in place. So you can already specify full remote urls directly to the DMXzone Database Connector or Updater Actions.

In the next update we will make it even easier by letting you just have two site definition in DW; One for the Database Services and one for the PhoneGap app.

So hold on - it is coming up

hi George
the "PhoneGap plugin" that I think is a great idea too
but 7 months passed...is there any processing or feedback ?

Yes, indeed, I would buy this today. I just came o n here to see if there was a way currently to use the bindings etc in a phone gap application as it only accepts HTML files.

Hi George,
news about "Extensions Roadmap 2014"?
www.dmxzone.com/go/22257/dmxzone-extensions-roadmap-2014

Only some extensions have been realized this year.
Do you have a "realist" roadmap for the "Mobile Development" extensions?

Thanks,
Michele

Hello All,
It is already possible to use HTML5 Data Bindings / DMXzone Database Connector in order to build mobile apps with PhoneGap. Please check the following tutorial: www.dmxzone.com/go/22827/building-mobile-apps-with-html5-data-bindings-and-dmxzone-database-connector

hi Teodor
is that already work in latest HTML Data Binding and DMXzone Database Connector ? or not yet

Hello,
Yes, this is already integrated in HTML Data Binding and DMXzone Database Connector.

Thanks for Teodor
I will try for this

Hi Teodor... you have open me a new business world!
I'm using PhoneGap Build and now I've the possibility to create advanced Apps.

A question... is it possible to set an automatically refresh from database?
Now, is necessary to close the App and reopen it to see the change in the datasource.

Thanks!!!

Hi Michele,
Unfortunately there is no a refresh option integrated into the HTML5 Data Bindings. We will check if it is possible to integrate such an option in the upcoming updates. Currently, you can use a button or other element on your page, that fires the refresh.

Ok, thanks.

Do you have any suggest to maintain local persistence data from remote mysql database (cache)?
Now, if I don't have mobile connection (3g or wi-fi) the app not load data from remote database and it's empty.

I think that the ideal solution should be:
1) load data from remote on startup;
2) the app automatically save a copy from remote to local database (store in a json file?);
3) if not available 3g/wifi connection load from local, otherwise from remote database.

Is it possible with your extensions?
I look forward to hearing good news from you

Hi, I've tried with a refresh script:

setTimeout("location.reload(true);",10000);

... but not works with web view navigation (InAppBrowser PhoneGap Build plugin); if I open a link in the App with InAppBrowser, when the script refresh the InAppBrowser close.

Do you know if is it possible to reload only the json database remote connection?

Thanks

Hi Michele,
We are currently working on both, auto refresh option and cache option for HTML5 Data Bindings. Stay tuned for upcoming updates.

Hi Teodor,
news about "auto refresh" and "cache" option?

Thanks.

Michele
