Iv'e read through the documentation on disconnected apps and have a firm grasp on its functionality. However, one of my current projects is extremely simple and I am not sure what features I should use from version 3 to implement it. The particulars for the project and my questions are listed below:
Questions: How would you design a disconnected app that is nothing more than a button and some arbitrary data that is submitted to the server when there is a connection? Do I absolutely have to create a detail view of the list? If so, would the list just be the button and the detail view the data points?
Any help on how to set this up is appreciated.
- The app requires a mobile user to register 4 GPS locations for a specific job location (quasi boundary points). The user will go from 1 location to another registering 4 points for each location.
- The data returned to the server will include the 4 points, the employee id of the person registering the points, and the job id of the location.
- Functionally, all the user has to do is press a button to register points 1 through 4. Entering the job is not necessary because the server will determine the job id automatically based on the first GPS location recorded. The only client side validation I can think of is to verify that 4 seperate points were recorded.
- This info will never be edited but the user will be allowed to delete a point if necessary.
- The application needs to be disconnected as there is a good chance some of the locations will be outside the phones service area.
