Need help with building simple mobile app on appery.io

Tags: Mobile, Smartphones

Hi,
first of all, i would like say that I don’t have any experience with mobile app building and I don’t have a choice in using other builders other that appery.io so that’s what I have to work with. I’m building simple app that will help in office inventory process. My app currently has main page with a list of inventory id numbers and a page which is supposed to be details page.
When I click on the id number, I need to be redirected to my details page where there’re informations such as Device name, employee name and price. I have all data in appery.io database and imported into my app.
So the question is, how do I match my id with the details?

Any help will be much appreciated and I will be more than happy to send more informations about my project/talk with somebody to instruct me 😉

Cheers, Olgierd.

I’d try their own forum: https://forum.appery.io/ . That link has tutorials also.
https://docs.appery.io/docs has documention.

Ten years ago I did a project with another low code tool (Mendix). I started with a 3 day course paid for by my company. What beginners course did you follow?

In your case.

I’d take more courses on how to use this system and check it’s support forums.

My second big mobile app had me take a 3 month hiatus as I took time to learn the new system. This was after decades of writing code but this was a new system so I needed the time to do some deep learning of the new mobile development systems.

If time is of the essence, consider outsourcing this app.

I am not following any courses, im doing this as a college project and so im trying to teach myself as much as i can. Those documentation docs aren’t that clear to be honest but it’s better than nothing and for sure I will try their forum, thank you for that 😉

Steps to follow to match the ID with the details in your app

In reply to Need help with building simple mobile app on appery.io

To match the ID with the details in your app, you can follow these steps using appery.io:

1. Retrieve the ID from the list item when it is clicked:
In the “onClick” event handler for the inventory ID in your main page, add a JavaScript code action to retrieve the clicked ID. You can use the event.currentTarget property to access the clicked element and extract the ID value.

2. Pass the ID to the details page:
After retrieving the ID, you need to navigate to the details page and pass the ID as a parameter. In the JavaScript code action from the previous step, use the Apperyio.navigateTo function to navigate to the details page and pass the ID as a URL parameter.

3. Retrieve the details using the passed ID:
In the details page, you can use the Apperyio.get() function to retrieve the ID parameter from the URL. Use this ID to make a database query or fetch the necessary details from your appery.io database collection. Store the retrieved details in local variables or AngularJS scope variables to display them on the details page.

4. Display the details on the details page:
On the details page, you can bind the variables storing the details to the appropriate UI elements. For example, if you have a label or input field to display the device name, bind the corresponding variable to its value property using the AngularJS expression syntax.

These steps should help you achieve the desired functionality in your app. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, please feel free to provide more information about your project, and I’ll be happy to help you further.
