I have started to look at tutorials for making am android app but I am confused. I want to make an app that will look up prices in a database. The database is currently in Excel. I have 7 columns with data. Column A has product ID in number format, Column B has Cost, Columns C-G all have various prices. The prices are not related to each other in excel nor is the cost related to the prices in excel (don't ask why, I didn't set up the spreadsheet). Row 1 has all the headers.
I would like to set up an app with 2 screens.
screen 1 would have 1 selection box (drop down) that allowed you to select a product. And a 2nd selection box to select what price level you want (from row headers). There would be a field that would be populated by the price. For example, if product 88209010 and 4lv were selected (box 1 and box 2 accordingly) then the field would populate with: $26.49.
screen 2 would have 1 selection box that the product can be selected in and 6 fields that correspond to all the price headers to be populated.
The database needs to be up-datable with a new spreadsheet every time we have a price increase. I would like to be able to upload a new spreadsheet to replace the current.
I would also like a quit button.
I may be able to figure this out in Excel, but that apps to run excel spreadsheets eat more resources. also, I am having trouble without using VBA.
Can I do this as a stand alone app? can you recommend a good tutorial for learning how to make one? I have tried the one on google and can't seem to find examples of what I want to do.
Thanks
