Question

I wrote a super simple android app for a conference using phonegap and jquery mobile. At the last minute, there was a room change. At the time, I had all of the info in the html file, so I could only update it by deploying a new version of the app and hoping everyone updated. How can I make this better for next time? I know I could store the info remotely in an xml file and download it, but I don’t want to needlessly use up their data if nothing has changed. What is an efficient way to do this?

Thanks

Just have a super simple service which your app contacts every now and then if there are updates available and if so then download the new infos … I would say 😉 More elaborate would be using some push services like parse.com offers.
