With all this talk about platforms and languages, I'll throw this out there.
I would like to design something that will work on a mobile phone. Apple and.or Android
1 Your system device name.
Can be a serial number or some other unique 10 character value
2 Start Date/time
3 A 10 digit number
4 Stop date/time
Email this data to an email address
After emailing, a button to erase the data file.
In VFP terms, a table with columns like
SYSNAME C(10)
STARTTIME (Date/time)
JOBNUM N(10)
STOPTIME ( Date/time)
Is this a Xojo job I should attempt or is someone able to do this for me (PAID of course)
Why not write it as a web-based app? That would eliminate the email component altogether, and allow access from Android, Apple, Zune, Palm Pilot, PC, Macintosh, tablets, iPad, kiosks and pretty much anything else with a web connection.
Writing custom apps for each proprietary hardware platform is great if you need to take advantage of native functionality of the machine (GPS, accelerometer, camera, telephony, etc.) but for generic CRUD apps, it can be advantageous to just write to a common platform. Kinda like "Write Once, Run Anywhere..."
