IPhone - Application Push - Background Running - Timed Execution - Question

I have my sales team enter all their sales calls in Notes (one line with time and contact). I would be interested in building an application that sends me an email/sms at 2:00am each business day with the number of lines in that file (dont really need time and contact info).
I understand applications can not run in the background so can I:
a. Set a timer to execute my code?
b. Send a push from the 'cloud' that executes this code?
Originally I thought push would be optimal but from what I am now seeing is it will only push a sound, set a badge or display a message. I would like it to send an instruction to execute a program.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
tim

Hello Avneet26,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
This is primarily an User forum, and not the correct place to find programming/development information.
You are correct in your analysis that third party applications cannot be run in the background.
While it is unlikely that you'll be able to find any workaround to that rule or information on the screening process, your best avenue for finding information related to developing an APP is via the Developer's resources (you may need to register to access some of their resources):

Running my iPhone Application to run as a background application

I need to run my iPhone application as a background process with no user intervention. As per my analysis, Apple does not allow any third party application to run in background.
My question is :
1) Can we get some signed UID(Unique ID) for our application from Apple so that it allows my application to run in background?
2) If possible, what is the process followed for that like Apple will test my application and provide special privileges to my application?
3) Cost involved to get that UID?
4) Or any other alternative as per Apple's terms and conditions.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Launching Other Apps within an iPhone

Flex iPad Application : Run code before application enters background Application Type: Flex Mobile Application Target Platform: iPad AIR Version: 4.0 Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6 I want to run some code just before iphone application goes

Application Type: Flex Mobile Application
Target Platform: iPad
AIR Version: 4.0
Development Environment: Flash builder 4.6
I want to run some code just before iphone application goes into background. I need function similar to didEnterBackground
of native xcode app
(https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegat e_Protocol/Reference/Reference.h
tml#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/applicationDidEnterBackground:)
I tried using devactivated function of flash.display.STAGE.
I used following addEventListener:
STAGE = this.parent.stage;
STAGE.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onAppDeactivated);
It worked for me but only when device is connected to development environment in debug mode. When I create my release build
it is not working.
So how can I make sure that my code runs before application goes into background.

Even I am facing almost same issue

Here is How you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background

How do you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background in the new iOS 4? We’ve had more than one reader ask this question since the launch of the new iPhone operating system, and the iPhone 4, last week. Some have asked about this due to battery drain concerns, and others just because they want to be able to shut down a backgrounded app.
So this seems as good a time as any to share a quick tip on how you can force apps to close in the new iOS 4.
There are two ways to fore an app to close down under iOS 4. The first is by doing a ‘force quit’ on the app, just as we have done under the previous version of the iPhone OS. To do this, you press and hold the power button while you are in the app you want to close down. Wait for the ‘Slide to power off’ bar appears across the top of the iPhone – then don’t hit Cancel, but instead just hold down the Home button continuously until the app closes and you drop back to the home screen.
The much easier method now available in iOS 4 is to use the Multitasking bar to close any app you want. Here’s how:
– Double tap the Home button to bring up the Multitasking bar
– Press and hold anywhere on the multitasking bar until the icons on it start to wiggle.
– While they are wiggling, each icon has a Minus sign symbol above it.
– Press the Minus symbol above any app to close it down.
That’s it. This will work for any app you want to close, including the Apple built-in apps like Mail and Safari etc.
Hope this quick tip is helpful to some of you who are getting to know iOS 4.

The apps on the bottom are recently accessed apps. Instead of closing when you exit the app they go into a suspended state, and will load faster when you next launch them. Unless they are a streaming app (like Pandora) they do not use any power when they appear in the active app list.
This information, as well as the OP's post, are in the latest user guide. I guess nobody reads manuals anymore

Running Chuck program from iphone application

Expect to get a lot of problems as embedding Java GUI application into native X GUI application is very complicated process which usually requires clear understanding of design of AWT native code for X. One of the problems is events sharing, another is X resource sharing. If you could provide more details on design of your program and interaction with Java we might try to at least estimate hardness of the problems and possibility of such an implementation at all.
The questions are:
1) Does you program uses the same X display connection as Java?
2) What kind of X toolkit are you going to use?
3) How are you going to embed Java windows into you X windows(if at all)?
4) Are you going to use Java X window(or widgets) from your program or you are going to use JNI and Java to interact with them through Java?

How can I implement an iphone application, it hides when started running?

Hi
Is there anyone who can be tell me whether it is possible to implement an iphone application in such a way that it hides automatically when starts running. If it it possible, please help me how it can be implemented. As I need it for my application, this application will only update current gps data into the server at regular interval that is set by the user.
Thanks.

Question about update to iphone application database

Is it possible to preserve and update an iphone application's database when i release an update for the application with a more updated database?

My biggest problem to date has happened today after trying to update the Restaurant Nutrition Application. It completely crashed my iphone, and after trying to do a soft reset, NOTHING. I was able to connect to iTunes by pressing the home botton while connecting to iTunes to do a complete system restore. Everything went fine, till I tried to download some of the applications that had not been synced with iTunes with the exception of Restaurant Nutrition App. since this was the App. that crashed it in the first place. But strangely enough, when I just tried to download a simple game that I loved, (Cannon challenge), Restaurant Nutrition popped up on the screen by itself as if it was trying to download without me even requesting to do so.
This application now has a way of attaching itself even after a system restore when you DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE!! Someone really needs to look into this. It has wasted an entire day of total frustration with my iphone, for NOW, having to do the same thing a second time. ***!? I hope come Sept. 7th, that Apple can restore customer confidence, because each time my iphone 3g crashes, which has happened several times in the past, but never to this degree, I really am beginning to hate this new iphone 3G. I can't rely on it being stable enough when I might actually have to use it......for an emergency phone call, etc.
PLEASE update soooner!

Help!: Control reference seamingly "lost" in run-time execution mode

Hi!
The Facts:
LabView 6.1 PC under NT.
I've been using "Vi loader" technique since a few month s to distribute a LabView application on severals PCs without having to re-compile it each time. My application uses more than 500 VIs so I can't build it directly. The directories/Vis of the application are simply copied on the target PC and run through the Vi loader technique instead of using the development environnement.
The problem:
Since the last release of the my application, differences between the application running in development mode or run-time mode have appeared:
One VI reading a .ini file does not act the same way if runned in the developpment environnment or
runned in the run-time environnment. This VI uses control-references from its front-panel and passes them to sub vis. In run-time execution those references seems to be perverted: the sub-vis get them but can't access their properties like Label Name, Values,...
All works perfectly fine if the VI is runned in the environnment developpment.
Moreover the same sub-vis called with other control references in other VIs work fine.
Question:
Has anyone seen any behavioral difference between run-time execution and development environnement execution?
Are there any differences in the linkage process between those 2 execution ways?
Is there any labview Feature that would automaticaly "de-allocate" references at run time and would do so "too early"?
Is there any know problem with poly-morphique VIS in run-time execution mode.
That's all, any idea, lead, wellcome!

Hi Andrew!
I've allready had a look at the "Problem with VI Loader technique". It only deals with top vis not working (ie broken) when called from loader in Run-Time mode because of ill declared vi.lib path.
It's "unfortunately" not my problem: My VI is not broken, it's kind'a working, but not as it does in development environment execution mode.
If NI people are reading this, I would like to send them the VI and it sub-VIs to understand if something has been perverted .
The problem is seen on all three target PCs.
Moreover, a new one has appeared: in run-time mode, the standard "file dialog" vi called to prompt the user for a file with a given extension pattern sends back the file name with the extension "double dotted" (exemple: anything..data
instead of anything.data).
About the first problem, does any know why a Ctrl Refnum would loose its parent information (name, value...) in run-time execution mode?
Bye!

What is Run time execution in odi?

I came up this question after attending one interview. What exactly a run time execution in oracle data integrator?

Hi Kumar,
SAP Exchange Infrastructureruntime consists of a series of components:
·        The Integration Engine executes the integration logic of the Integration Server and converts messaging (of the Integration Server or application systems).
·        The proxy runtime uses proxies to exchange messages with the Integration Server. This section addresses the programming model for ABAP and Java proxies.
·        The Adapter Engine uses the RFC adapter and external adapters to exchange messages with the Integration Server.
·        The respective adapters are either connected using the Adapter Engine or run independently (for instance, the IDoc adapter and the plain HTTP adapter).
·        Central monitoring monitors XI runtime components, the message flow, and the performance.

Installer generator for an iPhone application

Hi All,
I have developed an iPhone application. My application is working fine in emulator. Now, I want to place a hyperlink in my website that when clicked runs an installer that would install my application on iPhone home screen.
I would like to know if someone know how to generate an installer to install my application in a iphone.
Any help is greatly appreciated

As was previously stated, you need to go to the Developer's Forum or the Apple Developer Connection. You've stated you are an authorized developer, you should have received materials necessary to answer these questions and software to install your application on test devices.
Just to recap, you have submitted your developer fee and received notification from Apple that you are accepted as a developer?
