Detailed Description

The

component communicates with a Web service to store and retrieve information. Although this component is usable, it is very limited and meant primarily as a demonstration for people who would like to create their own components that talk to the Web. The accompanying Web service is at (http://tinywebdb.appinventor.mit.edu). The component has methods to store a value under a tag and to retrieve the value associated with the tag. The interpretation of what "store" and "retrieve" means is up to the Web service. In this implementation, all tags and values are strings (text). This restriction may be relaxed in future versions.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TinyWebDB()

com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.TinyWebDB ( ComponentContainer  container)

Creates a new TinyWebDB component.

Parameters
containerthe Form that this component is contained in.

Definition at line 87 of file TinyWebDB.java.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetValue()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.GetValue ( final String  tag)

GetValue asks the Web service to get the value stored under the given tag{:.text.block}. It is up to the Web service what to return if there is no value stored under the tag{:.text.block}. This component just accepts whatever is returned. The GotValue(String, Object) event will be run on completion.

Parameters
tagThe tag whose value is to be retrieved.

Definition at line 266 of file TinyWebDB.java.

◆ GotValue()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.GotValue ( String  tagFromWebDB,
Object  valueFromWebDB 
)

Indicates that a GetValue(String) server request has succeeded.

Parameters
valueFromWebDBthe value that was returned. Can be any type of value (e.g. number, text, boolean or list).

Definition at line 343 of file TinyWebDB.java.

◆ ServiceURL() [1/2]

String com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.ServiceURL ( )

The URL to the database with which the component should communicate.

Definition at line 119 of file TinyWebDB.java.

◆ ServiceURL() [2/2]

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.ServiceURL ( String  url)

Specifies the URL of the Web service. The default value is the demo service running on App Engine.

Definition at line 130 of file TinyWebDB.java.

◆ StoreValue()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.StoreValue ( final String  tag,
final Object  valueToStore 
)

Sends a request to the Web service to store the given valueToStore{:.variable.block} under the given tag{:.text.block}. The ValueStored() event will be run on completion.

Parameters
tagThe tag to use
valueToStoreThe value to store. Can be any type of value (e.g. number, text, boolean or list).

Definition at line 156 of file TinyWebDB.java.

◆ ValueStored()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.ValueStored ( )

Event indicating that a StoreValue(String, Object) server request has succeeded.

Definition at line 234 of file TinyWebDB.java.

◆ WebServiceError()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TinyWebDB.WebServiceError ( String  message)

Indicates that the communication with the Web service signaled an error.

Parameters
messagethe error message
