  • Hello people,

    I'm developing at the moment an android app.

    Issue is, I'm looking for a way to somehow read Code 128 via the camera.

    So far I didn't had any success.

    Is there any way to make this possible?

    I'm using the visual scripting and I'm inexperienced with Javascript,

    but learning it at the moment, as I also need to send emails from within my app

    via AJAX or some kind of solution.

    Many thanks in advance for answers,

    I appreciate any answer that could help me.

  • I did it sucessfully with the Dictionary method being mentioned by oosyrag.

    To ensure no data is lost, I'm using a savegame as a kinda local database.

    It's a workaround compared to a real database, but so far it works.

    Thanks for all the answers and especially thanks to oosyrag.

  • You can connect and interact with an hosted database like mySQL via php through the AJAX plugin's post and get action. That would require some knowledge of php and mysql, as well as having access to a dedicated web host.

    Otherwise, for the use case you have described, the dictionary object may suffice. It can associate a string (key) with any other string (value). You might need to use two dictionary objects that are mirrors of each other to get two way lookup or simply add two entries for each key-value pair, as normally it is one way. This doesn't come anywhere close to the full functionality of an actual database though.

    Thank you for your answer, I appreciate it a lot.

    Is there any resources to learn how to do that with PHP & MySQL? I'm having a dedicated webhost and would like to try it that way. Unfortunately so far I'm having not much or rather not any knowledge in PHP or MySQL.

    Or would you rather recommend me trying it with the Dictionary object?

    Best regards and thanks in advance for answers,

  • Hello,

    I'm looking at the moment for a way to connect a database towards my project.

    My goal is it that if I enter for example a string/number I'll get reported back another string/number that is attached to this one.

    At the same time, I'm looking for a way to enter for example two strings and save them together as being attached to each other. And when searched for one of them, it'll just like above mentioned show the attached string to this one.

    Is this somehow possible? And if so, could anyone give me an insight in how I could do it or an tutorial?

    Hopefully people understand what I mean.

    Thanks in advance for answers,

    Oishii
