Re: Getting CakePhp to talk to Android devices

To test HTTP Post web services for edit action, I tried something like;

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -T local-file.xml http://127.0.0.1/myproject/edit/1.xml

The problem is I do not know how local-file.xml should look like as there is no documentation that I can find on this aspect.

Is there any sample xml file that someone here can show? Thank you very much.

Dear Cakephp gurus,

I managed to get web services for view and index working by following the instructions at the link below.

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html 

View and index are easy because it uses HTTP GET. For edit and delete which uses HTTP POST, I am at a loss. I do not know how the URL will look like in the first place to edit certain data fields. Can someone advise or provide some useful link? Thank you very much.

Dear CakePHP experts,

I am thinking of creating an Android app to talk to CakePHP server app. Sorry for my amateur questions because I am still a newbie. Is there anything extra I need to do on the CakePHP side? Are web services the way to go? Can the Android talk to MySql database directly and pull out data?

Thank you.
