Mobile data collection (MDE)

[Stefan-STS]

Hello,
is it possible with GLIDE to create an APP to collect Data (Mobile data collection MDE) and send this data to, perhaps an e-mail Address, after all data collection ?
Because i don’t have INTERNET-Access when i collect my data.

Thank’s for feedback
Stefan

You want to add data to an App whilst offline?

I’d say the answer is no. Glide does have limited offline capabilities, but they are restricted to read only. You cannot add or edit data in offline mode.

By the way, I don’t know what MDE stands for, or if that is relevant to your question.

Hi Darren,
MDE is a word in german and stand for (Mobile Daten Erfassung) in english i think MDC (mobile data collection)
I only want to read barcodes to collect, and in a room and i haven’t access to the internet at this time. After the collection i can go to a place where i have internet and then i would send my data to ..

Can offline apps be created, and if so how?

Think of it this way. When you are connected to the internet and open the app, it performs a sync to download all of the data to your device into a temporary cache that only exists while the app is open. Also, the data does not store images, but rather the url to the image. Those images are only downloaded and stored in your cache when they need to be displayed in your app. Now the offline capability comes into play if you already have the app open, because much of the data is already cached…

Here’s a great comment to sum up what Glide can offer for the offline mode.

However, I’m not sure if they still offer it. I searched on the pricing page and can’t find it.
