Synchronize Key/Value Database between devices

These B4X modules will handle the synchronization of key/value databases between multiple devices and between platforms!

So one application runs on a server widely available on the internet such as a low cost VPS that can run java applications.

Then each application have to add simple code to get synchronized variables.

ckvs.Put("User1", "Key1", 100)
Log(ckvs.Get("User1", "Key1")) '100
Log(ckvs.GetDefault("User2", "Key1", 0)) '0 because User2/Key1 is different than User1/Key1

The SetAutoRefresh method sets the user(s) that will be fetched from the remote store.

For example if we want to auto-synchronize the data of “User1”:

ckvs.SetAutoRefresh(Array("User1"), 5)

Sample Code:

'Code module
#Region  Project Attributes 
	#ApplicationLabel: B4i Example
	#Version: 1.0.0 
	'Orientation possible values: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight and PortraitUpsideDown
	#iPhoneOrientations: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight
	#iPadOrientations: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight, PortraitUpsideDown
	#Target: iPhone, iPad
	#MinVersion: 7
#End Region
 
Sub Process_Globals
	'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
	'Public variables can be accessed from all modules.
	Public App As Application
	Public NavControl As NavigationController
	Private Page1 As Page
	Type Item (UserField As String, KeyField As String, ValueField() As Byte, IdField As Long, TimeField As Long)
	Type Task (TaskName As String, TaskItem As Item)
	Private ckvs As ClientKVS
	Private TextField1 As TextField
	Private User As String = "u1"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
	NavControl = Nav
	Page1.Initialize("Page1")
	Page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("1")
	NavControl.ShowPage(Page1)
	ckvs.Initialize(Me, "ckvs", "http://xxx.nopapers.org:12345")
	ckvs.SetAutoRefresh(Array(User), 0.1) 'auto refresh every 0.1 minutes
	TextField1.Text = ckvs.GetDefaultAndPut(User, "number", 0)
End Sub
 
Private Sub ckvs_NewData
	TextField1.Text = ckvs.Get(User, "number")
End Sub
 
Sub btnSet_Click
	Dim number As Int = TextField1.Text
	ckvs.Put(User, "number", number)
	Page1.ResignFocus
End Sub
 
Private Sub Page1_Resize(Width As Int, Height As Int)
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Application_Background
 
End Sub
