mobile-application

We're building an API and mobile app on top of a database that has a few hundred thousand records in the main table of interest. Our mobile developer is pushing hard about pre-loading the app with the full table in a local db, then having a service which the phone can sync changes against an updated_at column. While this can definitely increase performance of the app by having it search a local store, I'm worried this will create a lot of load on the server as we acquire more customers. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is it a good idea, bad idea? Can you share some insights and links?

I've had an interesting question from a client regarding the EU cookie law and how it affects their mobile apps. As you may well know, the Cookie Law requires websites to let users know that the site uses cookies, and tells them how to disable these. What is the standing with Android/IOS apps? I don't specifically store cookies, but I do store the users login details to automatically check for access on the app startup.

What is a hybrid app for mobiles? What is basic architecture to follow while developing? What are the components? What will be the back end and what will be the UI? Is it for only iPhone or can be for any mobile device? With iOS, you can create an application that combines features of native applications and webpages.

I am new to mobile applications. I am basically from a web development platform. I am just playing around mobile frameworks like App Framework, LungoJS, Jquery Mobile, kendo etc to gain some knowledge in this vertical. The app I am developing is still in UI level. All I need is to fetch data from the server and populate in my app. I need some ideas to establish server communication between the smart device and the server. My questions are What kind of server needed for mobile applications ? A cloud or a regular web server is enough ? What are the ways to connect the app with the server ? ( on

Update the question so it focuses on one problem only by editing this post . I want to do speech recognition in my Objective-C app using the iOS Speech framework. I found some Swift examples but haven't been able to find anything in Objective-C. Is it possible to access this framework from Objective-C? If so, how? After spending enough time looking for Objective-C samples -even in the Apple documentation- I couldn't find anything decent, so I figured it out myself

What I want (GIF) Here is a (quality-reduced) GIF about what I'm want to achieve. What I want (Text) I have a scrollview , that is positioned at the half of my screen. What I want is to drag that scrollview up, and then, when it reaches a certain position, send the drag touch event to scrollview itself, so it can continue scrolling. My tries Put the scrollview in fullscreen in the foreground, and add a half-screen padding-top to its contentContainerStyle . It worked well, but I couldn't click the view behind it. Is there a way to click through the empty area of a scrollview? I also tried to

I have a dynamic HTML5 document that does not contain any external resources (no images, css and scripts are coded inside of document). This HTML5 application is working fine with internet browser. I was wondering, if it would be possible to convert this HTML5 application into standalone Android application , so it can be executed directly without browser. Please advise. Create an Android app using Eclipse. Create a layout that has a <WebView> control. Move your HTML code to /assets folder. Load webview with your file:///android_asset/ file. And you have an android app! You could use PhoneGap.

I would like to make a free version of the Android app I have, but would like to embed ad on it. I am not sure where I should start? Is there a well known mobile ad company out there that is specialized in mobile advertising? snctln I have personally used both Admob and Adsense . I was wary when I first implemented ads thinking that my users would be upset, but I have not received one complaint from over 500,000 active installations. The only permission that you need to add for either ad SDK to work is the android.permission.INTERNET permission. Admob is open for anyone above the age of 18 to
