Kinetix - Hand Held Android, storing Data Locally

Hi,

Has anyone managed to store data locally onto an android device and Kinetic.
We have developed a Kinetic screen that stores data into a UD table, but it looks like we might not always have a signal. The ideal situation would be to scan things, it stores them locally and then when a signal is available ‘upload’ this data.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark,

What you’re describing can be done in a Progressive Web App. You’ll want to create your own API that in turn talks to Kinetic.

This is where I’d like to hop in and recommend Blazor (WASM for your needs) with MAUI pointing a WebView to the app or by using MAUI Blazor Embedded. It’s web development in C#. Pretty neat.

It deploys to Google Play and is manageable through Microsoft Intune. It is supposed to deploy to iOS but I think they are still figuring that out since MAUI is new.

There is always the option of using a JavaScript solution, like React Native. I believe Jose Gomez & Co. use some sort of JS approach.

Thanks Mark & Zach - I’ll take a look at both of these. Appreciate your input.
