Fantastic app idea, zero building knowledge

[Kamal Jain]

I am trying to develop an app that has two core elements-
The users app
The clients app

Basically, when the client requests for something(Ex - a type of medicine), all the users within a defined radius get a notification about it, with a call back option under the request.
So the home page of the users app will have a list of all the requests.
The client, after getting what he needs, takes down the request manually or after a 24 hour period, it automatically vanishes. The client part, before he can use, registers with location as well as their number, so that whenever they request, all they have to do is write what they need without entering more details. Can someone please guide me through this app development?

Thanks, I looked through the, but I really didn't get the right way to go about it.
Let me make this a little more specific - how do I make my clients, notify all of my users within area range with a push notification that gets stored in the user's app?

Hi Kamal -

You will need to store the user coordinates in database and make query like described here: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

and send push notification if the condition is true in logic of your app.

Will the user co-ordinates be stored permanently? because my users location is dynamic.

Hi Kamal,

You can store user location in Database (http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...) as long as you need. You can create a service to update these data when needed.

Thanks, so I began at the user end of the app.
I understood invoking the geolocation service. But the tutorial wasn't of much help unless i download the backup.
So, how do I link the geolocation service responses to the database?
Also, should I rather link the geolocation service to the devices databse? how?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Hello Kamal,

You should save the values obtained from geolocation_service in local storage: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...
Then you can use them in update_service by getting them from there: http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...
You can add columns to the collection Devices if it is necessary.

Thanks.
I didn't quite yet understand the update service part.
The event mapping in my app has gone so far
When device ready Invoke geolocation Create service

This successfully manages to store my data into the database. However, when app is started again, a new line is added instead of the old one updating. How do I run about this?
I need only one entry per device and this to be updated every 20 minutes.
Update service tutorial didn't help. Is there any video I can learn from?
