Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I am fairly new to android programming... I have a small college project where i collect some data using different intents and then sends it to a web service (to be written in php)...

    The questions are...

    the project requirement is if for some reason i cannot send the data then it should get in to a queue and once a day it should try to connect to web service and sends the data.... if the app is still not able to connect, it should try next day... and keep trying until successful, but user should still be able to add data and it should be added to this queue....

    how i can implement this...

    2nd question is related to that php web service...

    the service will append the data to a file sitting behind the secure area of the service...

    how i can append to that file...

    Use an AlarmManager to set up a call to an AsyncTask at whatever time you want to try and post the data.

    Google for examples on both, there are loads. You will probably need a client database to hold the data in a queue each time it fails, then get the AsyncTask to go through whats in the database and try to post it to the PHP script and delete it from the database if successful.
