because she's a girl, it's easy for her to meet the vp, if it's a guy carrying that placard, the story would have been different

And many ladies will be shouting gender equality.

If it was a guy he will be tamed lazy.

Run for your life.

nollyj I remember one of your post where you said you will start making 1mil/month from Android development, is this part if the process sir?

dhtml18:
I was just revamping an android app now and found out that volley was no more getting maintained, so i am porting back to android-async-http

Have you looked at Retrofit?

efreaky:
Good to see you took my initial advise. Lol

No I didn't, the screenshot I pasted was working fine, just didn't know that.

dhtml18:
^^this was exactly the scenario i was trying to paint earlier. . . .

It seems almost impossible for me to achieve it with Eloquent, I had to use Query Builder.

dhtml18:
^^^Very good, i believe you should share it so that it can help others someday.

I had to use Normal PHP script within Laravel to solve the task.

efreaky:
Nice to know you finally found a way around it, care to share how you did it?

Where I go start now.

Well creating an API is not different from the normal way of creating Web Applications.

In Laravel instead of Returning Views within your route.php, you just return json(). It will solve your problem with breeze.

There you go, dont forget to pay tithe when your client pays you.

I didn't reply you because I was banned by the Anti-spam bot.

I have actually seen this tutorial before. It does not solve my problem.

I had to come up with my own Hack within Laravel.

Thank you.

I wrote their test sometimes in February.

And I just got this now.

Congratulations, you are hereby invited for a second level test at VLA Office, Plot 1690B, Buraimoh Kenku street V.I Lagos on Friday 27/05/2016 8:00am prompt. Come with all your credentials photocopy & original with passport photograph. Thank you.

Please someone should help with the format for the second Level test.

Thank you.

I know all that, but can't you secure your API? Even with the most secure of frameworks, if you do not follow some certain guidelines your app will still be vulnerable.
If you do not secure your android app properly, a smart hacker can decompile it and still hack your api even with the most secure of frameworks.

Lesson: securing this type of API/android app is not beans or moi moi at all.

ProGuard can help you with that, even without ProGuard, if someone decompiled your app and get your API and try to do basic SQL injection to your App. The hacker will be extremely disappointed. When you used Laravel.

dhtml18:
I believe i completely agree with the dude that says that there is no need to use laravel for a simple json api. The lighter the api, the better for your app.
This means that, you can build your website with wordpress, codigniter or whatever, but you can still build a simple json api on top of that with regular php.
afterwall, what does the api really need? to push and pull data between the app and the server (database).

API with a framework really helps in so many ways.

Security, Scalable and Performance.

efreaky:
Are you using Laravel 4 or 5?

5. here is my own code.

lekropasky:
I dont think theres any need to use a Framework for this kinda task, though, i am not a PHP guy, but simple PHP script that can talk to database and echo a JSON String is all you need to write.

Example...for registration:

<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$pass = ' ';
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db(
'db name');
//user data
$username = $_POST['user'];
$mail = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$json = array();
$query = Insert into users( username, email, password) Values( '$username','$mail','$password')
$result = mysql_query($query);
if($result){
array_push($json, array('success'=>true, 'fail'= >false))
}else{
array_push($json, array('success'=>false, 'fail'= >true))
}
mysql_close($connection);
echo json_encode($json);?>

Thank you.

With simple PHP script, I can create an API anyway I want. Outputting my response anyway I want, but for this particular project I need Laravel to perform the task for me.

Again Thank you.

efreaky:
Simple!

1. Create a normal Login/Registration with Laravel
2. Use JSON to parse your data
3. Use an Android Library like volley to consume the JSON data

Or Better still

1. Google how to create an API with Laravel
2. Google how to use Volley in Android.

Thank you, Good morning.

How can I create the Login and Register API?
Can you show me a code spinet?

Like I said, I have Google it, but couldn't find it.

nollyj:
You can use Php Slim micro-framework. I wrote a tutorial on this topic. You can see it here - Slim API with Android

I have already started implementing with Laravel. Thank you Sir.

dhtml18:
I am sorry, am not a laravel dude. But if you can use laravel, I can guide on steps to build a json api for consumption. . . .by the way, have you managed to catch any monitor lizard of recent?

I have searched and searched online, no tutorial has explained this simple concept. Anywa sha, if I reach house today. I go try implement wetin I knw, how I understand am?

Abeg make una no vex.

How person fit take create Login and Registration API with laravel, so that Mobile App can consume it?

Yet one HR for one yeye company go come say Naija get half baked graduates.

People just come to say rubbish assertion from their bed.

Here in Lagos all local bar we have here can never play music from our local artists like Wiz Kid and co, else nobody (Igbo Traders) will patronize the bar.

Go to the east you hardly even hear songs from our local artist(I schooled in the east). Only Igbo Christian songs or songs from the artist you just listed OP.

Personally, I don't like music coming from the likes of Wiz Kid and co. I have songs from all the artist you listed in my phone and I play them regularly.

Have you applied? if yes? How did you apply?

Location.

Any invite yet?

This is the truth. First class and 2.1 grads are hard working individuals right from the onset.

Funny enough most HR executive here on NL are 2.2 or 3rd class grads, due to much envy they refuse to give employment to this category of grades 1.1 or 2.1

Mostly moslem countries. Hmmm!!!
