I'm not too familiar with how smartphones work in general, but I am considering porting an application that I sold & supported on PalmOS PDAs for many years. My main question is how it might work on an Android phone or other device as far as getting data onto it is concerned.
My PalmOS application has both a PC (Windows) application as well as the app on the PDA. The Windows application creates a data file from data stored on the user's PC. This file is then transferred to the Palm PDA during the next "Hotsync" operation and the data is available to the user. It's a one-way transfer only; the user doesn't do any entry or modification of the data on the PDA. Smartphones, from what I know, are not as tied to a user's PC as the old PDAs were; they're more network-based for accessing data. So how would I create an Android app where the user can transfer data directly (or some other way?) from their PC to the smartphone? Just a basic concept is what I'm looking for as I decide if this porting effort is really feasible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
