Hello people, I’m simply new to Adalo, I look forward to building a simple mobile application that majorly hymbook, it will list the songs in the hymbook after the splash screen, then onclick of each song, it will show the full lyrics in the next screen.
I really want to keep it simple, songs can be search by title and by numbers as well.
I don’t know how to go about it, I need the application to be usage immediately users finish downloading from various play stores and can use it without putting on data connection in next usage
Hey @Adewebs, without many details on what you want to achieve, I made some guesses, and… yeah it can be a 2 screens app, very simple, like this one I drafted:
The home screen will show a searchable list of hymns and (in my example), clicking on the right sheet icon, you can access the full lyrics and eventually open the sheet music (this requires PDFs to be uploaded into the DB). Where to click to go to the hymn details page can be customized, you can even avoid the icon and just use the text as a clickable item…
The “Songs” database can be populated manually, inserting one by one the hymns, or can be populated by uploading a CSV (in this case, columns in the CSV must match the columns in the DB - you’ll be requested to declare the matching policy upon upload of the file).
This is exactly what I want to do, but I’m relatively new to Adalo, I don’t know how to go about it, I was trying to do it the other time but the database is limiting me from populating information from the one I created.
I will be glad if you can show me a video demonstration or a quick design link that I can import to my project, thank you
Hi Enric,
I dont want the sign in or Login Page, instead I would like to creat a Bitton on the Home page and on Clicking that I want to bring up a new page with the list of all the records from my Collection Table. Is that possible. If Yes and if its not too dificult can you point me to a video specific tutorial?
Thanks
Michael
Hi @mpapali
Signup/Login page is not mandatory: you can build your app having the Home screen as the landing point for the user. Nevertheless, consider that by doing so your app won’t have any user-specific behavior as all the users will see the same thing, but at the same time, you can’t have even any flag-triggered behavior (like hiding/showing some elements based on a flag) as different users can overwrite each-other the flag’s value and lead to a confusing user experience.
What I would do in your case is to keep the signup operation as an action to be done when visiting the screen:
so that you’ll have an active user to drive a better user experience.
Regarding the button to go to another screen, well, yes, the button as any other element can be associated to one or more actions, among which there is the “link” to another screen in which you’ll be able to define a list of the items you want to show.
Tutorials: there are a lot of them on the basic concepts and data sharing among screens.
I’d suggest having a look to:
