Basic App Needed - $350

[MichealHood]

I'm in need for a basic app just to teach me how to do it myself,

I'm looking to pay for the source code of a basic app that will do the following;

What the app needs to do/look like:

It must have some sort of search function within the app,

What I need it to do is once I search for a word then it needs to grab from a website the data within a div class such as this:

This is if records of the item searched for is not found:

<div class="tableRow">
<span class="nameColumn">
<span>Data 1</span>
</span>
<span class="ItemValueLeftColumn notFoundColumn">
<span>Not Found</span>
</span>
<span class="ItemValueRightColumn"></span>
</div>

This is if records of them item searched for is found:

<div class="tableRow">
<span class="nameColumn">
<span>Year</span>
</span>
<span class="Column1">
<span>Data 1</span>
</span>
</span>

What it needed is the app to, when searched for an item, to go to a website and grab this data from each div class and then put it in order on the app in the screen shot like above, so it would look something like this:

I search for Mars

The website has this data:

<div class="tableRow">
<span class="nameColumn">
<span>Distance</span>
</span>
<span class="Column1">
<span>5</span>
</span>
</span>
<div class="tableRow">
<span class="nameColumn">
<span>Year</span>
</span>
<span class="Column1">
<span>13</span>
</span>
</span>
<div class="tableRow">
<span class="nameColumn">
<span>Month</span>
</span>
<span class="ItemValueLeftColumn notFoundColumn">
<span>Not Found</span>
</span>
<span class="ItemValueRightColumn">

The app will return looking like:

____________
Distance: 5
____________
Year: 13
____________
Month: Not Found
____________

Please PM me or post here with any questions!

Does the website already exist or do you require the server side development? if this is for an existing site what is the URL?

Thanks

Why does your app need to connect to your website/database?
Would it not be better to store the data you want on the phone itself?

If you are definelty going down the road of using a website and then making the phone talk to it, you're talking about one of the following.

1. Some way to make HTTP requests and get a callback (return) from the website

2. Some way to understand the data being returned. Having HTML being returned isn't really good practice.

3. If you're wanting things to go back and forth from your phone to your website you are talking about building an API which means a lot of work.

4. Even if you have a simple HTTP request/callback you need to think about security,and what will happen if lots of people request the data at the same time.

I still think for something as simple as what you're after, it sounds like it would be better to have all the data on the phone ready to go.

Regardless of what you do you need to think of the implications both to yourself and your app and whey that against getting the app done/out there.

Thanks.
