Over My head can someone help me with Java programming

[Willie Sims]

I am lost, I am creating a three page app that calculates fields based on the selected rate type, The rate type, each selection determines what fields will be in the calculation and how, The total pay is then calculated from the pay rate the user enters in the settings page, The third page the user can see how much his check will be, each line will have a paid checkbox line color will be Yellow = Pay Date not reached, Red = Past pay date Green = Paid
That's the short version the longer version is;
Main Page
Trip Number ( Text)
Pay Date ( Date) popup date selector
Rate ( Number)
Miles ( Number)
Weight ( Number)
Advances ( Number)
Reimbursements ( Number)
Rate Type, Dropdown menu, FLT; MIL; CWT; Ton;
FLT = (ratepay rate)+(Reimbursements)-(Deductions); ;
MIL = (ratemiles)pay rate)+(Reimbursements)-(Deductions); ;
CWT = (Weight / 100) Rate)* pay rate)+(Reimbursements)-(Deductions);
and Ton = ( Weight / 2000)* Rate)* (Pay Rate)+(Reimbursements)-(Deductions);
The Settings Page Lets the user enter
Pay Rate
Export To
Import From
Then the list page sorts the record by paydate with color coded lines and a paid checkbox or button for each line. along with a share file button on the bottom
All records are saved on device.
I can do everything but the Java, I am working on learning Java but I am way over my head.

Hello! Sorry, but it's outside the scope of our support...

[Willie Sims]

Ok so what is in the scope of your support, Perhaps advising me on were to look, or maybe actually taking the time to help since by doing so you also help your other users too;
That kind of brush off is a good way to brush customers to somewhere else

If I cant build the app there is no since in you charging me every month.
You make NO MENTION of needing to use scripts to build the apps nor in your tutorials anything about learning Java

"The Power of Drag and Drop"
If I knew how to write Java Script I would use eclipse and not pay for an "Easy Fast App builder"

When you build app with Appery.io platform you use the following technologies jQuery Mobile, HTML5, JavaScript, CSS and PhoneGap (http://docs.appery.io/getting-started/). Your question has nothing to do with Appery.io platform, it's a part of your app logic and should be coded by you. Actually coding outside the scope of support, but we are always glad to help with questions which may be useful for other users.

[Willie Sims]

Miss that is your answer to any Java question I have searched this site attempting to find examples on how to calculate fields and in every case the question is answered with a reference to the getting started.
Calculations are one of the major uses of an app but not one of your tutorials touches on the subject
If your site requires a person to be an experienced java programmer then I am in the wrong place. give me my money back and I will find a company that offers support for beginners your not going to charge me for something I cant use

As Marina said, building mobile apps requires at least basic knowledge of HTML5, JavaScript (not Java). We provide support on how to use the platform to build apps, but go way beyond and help with coding questions and much more. Just check the forum.

If you want to show us exactly what you tried in Appery.io and what doesn't work - we will be happy to help you.

You can always cancel your plan if you don't like the service.

Ok so lets back up and Maybe we can help others who are as lost as I am.
JavaScript and Jquery??? Jquery is just part of JavaScript right? and JavaScript is like a short hand version of Java?

Is there more than one kind of JavaScript that is to say one type for Websites and another for Android Development? are the scripts the same for both?

[maxkatz]

JavaScript is a scripting language that runs in any browser.

jQuery is a framework based on JavaScript.

There is just one type of JavaScript. JavaScript runs in desktop browser as well as mobile browsers (any platform).

JavaScript and Java only share the same name.. they are very different.

A good place to start learning JavaScript is http://www.codecademy.com/

[/quote] JavaScript is a cross platform language, you can develop app for different platforms using JS (also develop Websites )
