Introduction to the FileMaker Data API - Native application demo

This code generates a native iOS or Android app to interact with the FileMaker Data API and upload location information and a photo captured from the camera.

Installation

This is a NativeScript codebase. You will need to have the NativeScript command line tool (tns) installed (along with all its dependencies).

See the NativeScript installation documentation for details on getting the dependencies set up.

You can use the demo DB on my fms if you wish (fmp://fms.msdev.co.uk/ITG01Demo.fmp12, username Admin, password Admin, switch to the Images layout)

To connect the app to your own FMS you need to modify the settings in /app/home/home.js.

Once you have everything set up you'll need to run three commands

• tns install to install all of the dependencies
• tns platform add <platform> to add the platofrm tools for either iOS or Android (e.g. tns platform add android)
• tns run <platform> (e.g. tns run ios) which will (should) launch the appropriate emulator and run the app.
