Let’s say I make an app for a client of mine that has a pizzeria, and they want to update their prices in the app, on a regular basis (weekly), how can this be done? Is there some sort of “control panel” that can facilitate this (without having to re-install the app again)?

Hi thewebmasterpro,

yes, that is possible. I do something verys similar. I am writing a news app.

But there is no “control panel” for what you want to do.

I am fetching XML on a regular base from my server via jquery. I put the XML results into a local db on the device in order it can work offline.

Each time I display a certain screen I do fetch data from my local db.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a ton dabbelju. My level of technical knowledge is very limited at best, however I did do a search online and came across this information, let me know if you think is fairly accurate:

Thanks again

Hi thewebmasterpro,

that is what I am talking about.

I did write something more detailed about this topic in this thread:

I will try to remember to post a code snippet tomorrow morning (GMT+1).

Let me know how it goes.
