NextDB on Mobile Phones

Overview

As mobile application development becomes more popular, the need for off-board storage tools and resources will become more necessary. Storing user data locally on the phone is dangerous because it can become easily corrupted, the phone can be lost or damaged, and most importantly the data cannot be shared. With the new NextDB.net Android API, you can now add full relational database access to your android application where all of your data is stored safely on the NextDB server. In conjunction with the NextDB.net JavaScript API and REST API, you can now interact with your data from virtually anything that has a network connection. Using NextDB in your mobile applications gives you a real advantage because you can easily surface all of the users data on the web. Your mobile application can have an associated web application, both speaking to and communicating through a shared database.

NOTE: the NextDB.net JavaScript API also works on mobile phones in: Joint Innovation Labs and the Opera Widgets Mobile Widget Runtimes. As well as all smart phone browsers.
