This code sample is to demonstrate how to develop a mobile web apps using HTML + jquerymobile as the front-end, and PHP+mySQL to serve as the online database.

The FRONT-END

Pls change the app’s ID in the config.xml.

Change the link to your web server. The buttons “SEARCH AJAX”, “SEARCH STAFF” and “ADD NEW STAFF” require connection to your web server (back-end). Change the links accordingly.


*this tutorial might help you to generate Android APK file for the front-end.


 


The BACK-END


On the back-end, we are using PHP as the server-script and mySQL as the database. Inside the folder of the server-script, you will find file


SQLdump - The database sql-dump is available in jpa_dir.sql


Config file - Please change the config.php file to connect to your database.


<?php
$servername = "localhost";//change your db servername
$username = "root";//change to your db username
$password = "";//change to your password here (if any)
$dbname = "YOU_DB_NAME";//change your DB name here

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
//echo "Connected successfully";
?>


Header file – the header.php contains the header for the HTML template of the page.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>JPA Directory</title>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="css/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/test-theme2.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/jquery.mobile.icons.min.css" />
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script><script src="js/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-role="header" data-add-back-btn="true" data-back-btn-text="Back" data-position="fixed">
<h1>JPA Directory</h1>
</div><!-- /header -->


Footer file – the footer.php contains the header for the HTML template of the page.




<!-- footer -->
<div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">
<h2>Copyright @2015 JPA</h2>
</div><!-- end footer -->

dy>
</html>


Search facilities


The search facilities contains two files; list-staff.php and view-staff.php .


The list-staff.php is to generate list of all record of the table sd_users and populate the data in a filterable. Selecting one of the record as in figure below will invoke another page, view-staff.php.

<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");//this to allow page to be accessed from the mobile app
include "config.php";
include "header.php";
//search facilities
?>

<div role="main" class="ui-content">

<?php

//sql statement
$sql = "SELECT * FROM sd_users";
//return the resultset
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

if (!$result) {//sql query error
die(mysqli_error($conn));
}
?>
<form class="ui=filterable">
</form>
<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true" data-filter-placeholder="Find staff..."
data-filter="true">

<?php
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {//records found
// output data of each row
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$url="<a href='view-staff.php?id=".$row["id"]."'>";
echo "<li>".$url.$row["name"]."</a></li>";
}
} else {
echo "<li>No record found</li>";
}
?>
<ul>
</div> <!-- end main div -->
<?php
mysqli_close($conn);

include "footer.php";
?>

The view-staff.php will display all information of the selected staff.


<?php
include "config.php";
include "header.php";
//view complete staff info
?>
<div role="main" class="ui-content">
<h2>View staff's full info</h2>
<?php
$id=$_GET["id"];
//sql statement
$sql = "SELECT * FROM sd_users WHERE id='$id'";
//return the resultset
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

if (!$result) {//sql query error
die(mysqli_error($conn));
}
//fetch the record
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {//records found
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
?>
<img src="images/man.png">
<form id="view-staff" name="view-staff">
<label for="txtname">Staff name</lable>
<input name="txtname" id="txtname" type="text"
value="&lt;?=$row['name'] ?>" readonly>

<label for="txtemail">Email</lable>
<a href="mailto:&lt;?=$row['email'] ?>"
class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline ui-icon-mail ui-btn-icon-right ui-btn-icon-notext ui-btn-corner-all"> </a>
<input name="txtemail" id="txtemail" type="text"
value="&lt;?=$row['email'] ?>" readonly>

<label for="txtphone">Phone</lable>
<a href="tel:&lt;?=$row['phone'] ?>"
class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline ui-icon-phone ui-btn-icon-right ui-btn-icon-notext ui-btn-corner-all"> </a>
<input name="txtphone" id="txtphone" type="text"
value="&lt;?=$row['phone'] ?>" readonly>

</form>

<?php

} //staff id exist
else {
echo "Staff not exist";
}
?>


</div> <!-- end main div -->
<?php
mysqli_close($conn);

include "footer.php";
?>


INSERTing a new record – is accomplished in the insert-new-staff.php. In this page we’re utilizing the window.location facility in JavaScript to redirect to list-staff.php after a new record is successfully saved to database.

<?php
include "config.php";
include "header.php";
//insert facilities
?>
<div role="main" class="ui-content">
<h2>Add new staff</h2>
<form id="view-staff" name="view-staff" method="post" action="">
<label for="txtname">Staff name*</label>
<input name="txtname" id="txtname" type="text">

<label for="txtemail">Email</label>
<input name="txtemail" id="txtemail" type="text">

<label for="txtphone">Phone</label>
<input name="txtphone" id="txtphone" type="text">

<label for="dept">Department</label>
<select name="dept" id="dept">
<option value="IT">IT</option>
<option value="HR">HR</option>
<option value="Acount">Account</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="btnsubmit" id="btnsubmit"
value="Save record">
</form>

<?php

//checking data
if (isset($_POST["txtname"])){
$name=$_POST["txtname"];
$phone=$_POST["txtphone"];
$email=$_POST["txtemail"];
$dept=$_POST["dept"];
//sql statement
$sql = "INSERT into sd_users (name,email,phone,department) VALUES ('$name','$phone',
'$email','$dept')"
;
//check the sql command
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (!$result) {//sql query error
die(mysqli_error($conn));
}
//to confirm record saved
if(mysqli_affected_rows($conn)>0){
echo "The new staff has been recorded...";
echo "<a href='list-staff.php'
class='ui-btn ui-corner-all ui-icon-back
ui-btn-icon-left'> Search Staff</a>"
;
echo "<script>";
echo "window.alert('The new staff has been recorded...');";
echo "window.location='list-staff.php';";
echo "</script>";
}
}//end if data checking
include "footer.php";
?>
</div>

Filter setting in new AdMob panel

The new AdMob interface was launched last week (I was invited on early May 2014). The transition was smooth however from my experience I lost all my account balance in the old interface. One thing I do not like with the new apps is, it do not want to support PayPal payment. (Update – later I found out that the new AdMob facility provide direct wired-transfer to you favorite local banks. Just provide your account number and bank SWIFT-BIC and wait till your balance achieve the threshold value. This is normally a three day compared to two weeks PayPal transfer.You can change this in the Account > Payments > Payment Settings )  I have not figured out how to channel my commission payment to my local bank account. The thing I’d like to elaborate is the ads filtering panel. After you have logged-in to the new system (at https://apps.admob.com/ ), find the Account panel on the top-right of the page. Inside the Account panel, click on the Legacy AdMob data menu . Then choose the ...

Installing Google AdMob into Android Apps

Previously I wrote on why ads are needed to help maintaining an app. Read the article here http://blog.kerul.net/2011/05/generating-revenue-from-free-mobile.html . ---This is quite an old article. You may find the latest supporting AdMob 6.x in here http://blog.kerul.net/2012/08/example-how-to-install-google-admob-6x.html --- This is quite a long tutorial, there are 3 major steps involved. The experiment is done using Windows 7, Eclipse Helios and AdMob SDK 4.1.0 (which currently is the latest-during time of writing). STEP 1: Get the ads from AdMob.com To display the AdMob ads in your Android mobile apps, you need to register first at the admob.com . After completing the registration, login and Add Site/App. Refer to Figure 1. Figure 1 Choose the desired platform and fill in the details (as in Figure 2). Just put http:// in the Android Package URL if your app is not published in the market yet. And click Continue. Figure 2 Download the AdMob Android SDK, and save the zip fil...
