I have an application that uses the SQLiteDatabase as its database, because each application has its own, custom database (well, custom values), for another app I am making, I want to hose a single SQLiteDatabase that every app will access, for example one app adds a row, while another then reads it at a later time.
Is there anyway to do this? Everything I’ve found has left me believing there is not, but there has to be.
Any ideas?
Update:
I’m not sure if you’ve quite understood what I’m trying to do, sorry. The apps accessing this db are all the “same” app, but from different phones, for example, the database could be used to store a user id and their favorite color, so another phone could search their user id, and get the color in db with that user id –
I’m sorry if I did not make that clear enough
Of course there is way to do it! There is always a way!
Anywho, what I think you are looking for is a remote server. These can be done in a few way depending on how much money you have.
(1)If you’re broke like me all the time, then you can make an extra computer you have at home act as a server for your app. This can cause a few ( 🙂 hehe few) security issues for your home though. Also you will have a lot of traffic on your home network.
(2)Another option it’s to get a domain name and web host. Most of the web hosting services I have seen offer database support. So what you could do is hop on, create your database on the web host server then link your app to your server. The cost on that varies based on your needs.
Really though, is your app interfacing with mulitple people? I can’t think of a reason you would want this feature on any other phone (device) than your (relative to us customers) device. I rarely hand my device over to others, and never unless it’s locked.
