Bloodbath Android Fan Posts: 4 Reg: Jun 11, 2011 San Pedro 40	confirm \| cancel 06/12/11 06:46 PM (14 years ago) Is this possible? I'm trying to create my first app, but I have no idea how to implement my idea. I want to create a database of sorts. I want to be enable the app user to enter data (e.g. - weight, height, etc)and track progress. I would also like to add a specialized calculator (the user enters a number, calculations are done in the background, and the answer is provided). Looking at the options provided by Buzztouch, there seems no way to do these types of things. But since I'm new to Buzztouch, I want to verify that is correct. If it is, what do I need to do to get started? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Title Comments I'm trying to create my first app, but I have no idea how to implement my idea.

You're only limited by what you can do on a web site. Almost all apps combine some portion of local and web accessible content into an app. Best to read up on some mobile application development books to get into a mobile frame of mind. That will have you rethink your app to fir the mobile environment as well. Comments You would use html pages in your app and call a web application from the data.

It'll take a bit of work and coding on your end though. Try doing some google searches on the topic.

They seem to offer a simple service and way to create an online form...just an idea.

They have documentation for mobile device usage as well. Comments Look at formsite.com for a form input with a page results option. They have documentation for mobile device usage as well.
