I am using ExpressJS
on server & Android
as client
I want to know how to perform this action in server::
suppose i have a
listView
of list of colleges, I get the data for this asJSON
using the Express program shown below.Now Android has
OnClick
for identifying the position on thelistview
How to get the JSON for the android client dynamically ( If i click on a row, I want to do the database query dynamically on the server so that JSON URL is dynamically generated )
I have not posted android code as I think modification is on server side but
android developers
who worked withExpressJS
orNodeJS
will also have an idea for this
What code changes should i need to make on server ?
What concepts should i need to look to achieve this functionality?
My Express program on server ::
var express = require('express')
, async = require('async')
, http = require('http')
, mysql = require('mysql');
var app = express();
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
host: 'localhost',
user: 'xxx',
password: "xxx",
database: 'collages'
});
connection.connect();
// all environments
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 1232);
//
//REQUEST FOR FIRST REQUEST
//
app.get('/',function(request,response){
var name_of_Collages, RestaurantTimings;
async.series( [
// Get the first table contents
function ( callback ) {
connection.query('SELECT * FROM collagenames', function(err, rows, fields)
{
console.log('Connection result error '+err);
name_of_Collages = rows;
callback();
});
},
// Get the second table contents
function ( callback ) {
connection.query('SELECT * FROM RestaurantTimings', function(err, rows, fields)
{
console.log('Connection result error '+err);
RestaurantTimings = rows;
callback();
});
}
// Send the response
], function ( error, results ) {
response.json({
'Collages' : name_of_Collages,
'RestaurantTimings' : RestaurantTimings
});
} );
} );
//
//REQUEST FOR Collage SCREEN
//
app.get('/College1',function(request,response){
var College1, RestaurantTimings;
async.series( [
// Get the first table contents
function ( callback ) {
connection.query('SELECT * FROM College1', function(err, rows, fields)
{
console.log('Connection result error '+err);
College1 = rows;
callback();
});
},
// Get the second table contents
function ( callback ) {
connection.query('SELECT * FROM RestaurantTimings', function(err, rows, fields)
{
console.log('Connection result error '+err);
RestaurantTimings = rows;
callback();
});
}
// Send the response
], function ( error, results ) {
response.json({
'College' : College1,
'RestaurantTimings' : RestaurantTimings
});
} );
} );
http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){
console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});
Hope i am clear
Thanks,
