Hi!
As my title suggests, I encounter an interesting problem and I would like some advice on how to solve it. I am making an application to the user to make reports. This report will possibly be in a place outside the 3G network (mountain / forest).
But I need to take the exact date of the event and transmit it as soon as possible. So I need to keep the data that I can not send and send them when I can .
So I proceed like so:
The user opens the application and made a report.
Recording the data on local in the phone.
Sending the data on the server. (Deletion of data if the transfert is successful)
But if the user is off-network, my data can not be sent correctly. And if he closes the application meantime, my data will only be sent only when it will reopen the application and I will check if there are unsent datas.
My question is this: Are there any way that after a delay, even if closed my application continues to work until it has caught a network and sent the data?
If so, I would greatly appreciate having tracks on how to do it.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for the time you will take to respond.
