Can PWA use external storage along with the internal storage in mobile devices? - progressive-web-apps

I haven't found anything about if external storage complements internal storage in mobile devices, and more important if PWA uses the total memory of both or just internal memory.
Any information related or experience will be gratefully received, thank you.

Optimizing NearbyShare by use of mobile

I have a good mobile plan so I dont bother if some data are sent over the mobile network when I do NearbyShare transfers, if it help the speed to improve somewhat. Is NearbyShare actually using mobile network at all (there is a ticker-box that says that it should send small files via mobile network)?

How can I connect a golo4 obd2 device with IBM IoT platform without using a mobile application?

I'm using IBM Bluemix Services to develop a real time application. While developing the application I need to analyse the device data (Golo4 obd2 device) on the IoT platform. Please guide me to the step-by-step information regarding the connection of the device.
I don't have one of those devices but from a quick google it seems the only way to connect it to the web is via a mobile app they provide. Perhaps you can ask the manufacture or check the instruction manual? There is no way to analyze the data in bluemix if you can't get it from the car to bluemix. It is a common architecture for this to be via a phone (bluetooth to the phone and then wifi or mobile network to the WWW). Which is why it becomes important to consider the impact on the phone's battery life and the cost to the user of the amount of data transferred and minimize both.

Get information about inbuilt storage - Samsung Smart TV App

I am using Samsung smart TV SDK 5.1 to develop a simple application based on HTML5 and Javascript. I am using the file API to read/write files on the inbuilt storage.
I want to know- Is there is any way I can get the total internal storage and the remaining/free space of the internal storage.
PS: I am using the "2014_Smart_B2B_Emulator_2_0" for development.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here is the response that I got in the forum-
"there is no such api available by which you can get the total internal storage and the remaining/free space of the internal storage".

Here is the response from the Samsung Support:
Following are the APIs that you can use:
GetFreeSize()
GetUsedSize()

iPhone GPS tracking through Gamekit/Bonjour

I'm familiar with CoreLocation, however, I need to design an application that shares the user's location across a shared network for business purposes. I wanted to know what would be the best way to transmit the user's Map Annotation to other devices on the shared network? Is GameKit/Bonjour the best place to start? Thank you for your help! ^_^
I'm afraid you did not provide enough information about your application needs. Anyway, you should read corresponding guides to have an idea about their limitations.
GameKit
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/GameKit_Guide/GameKitConcepts/GameKitConcepts.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008304-CH100-SW18
There are some limitations:
GameKit is not available for Mac OS X (if you need it too)
There's maximum number of peers (client-server game is limited to 16 players)
Bonjour
FAQ - http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/faq.html
Basically - Bonjour is here to help you identify services on your network. In other words, Bonjour can help you to find other devices with your application on the network, but it doesn't implement data transfer for you. You have to implement it on your own.

How & where to set up DB Server and communicate with iPhone

I'm working on iPhone app that will let users upload/download photos to/from a DB server along with some data associated with each photo.
While I do have experience with iPhone programing, I do not have much experience with DB and server side programing.
Does anyone have any tips on what would be the easiest way to set up DB server and handle requests and responses coming from the iPhone. This server may be potentially required to handle large amount of traffic and preserve data integrity. Several iPhone users might be attempting to upload and modify data associated with each photo at the same time.
I'm thinking of opening a hosted server account so I don't have to purchase hardware and run it from home. Any tips on a company that provides quality and affordable server and DB hosting would be much appreciated.
If you know some Python or Java, you could take a look at Google AppEngine.
It is designed to scale and the entry costs are very low (i.e. free).
You do not have to worry about any infrastructure hosting as it is all provided for you.
The only catch is that it is:
Harder to get data out of the platform if you decided to move off it to another system
Does not support push notifications (However there are a lot of push notification providers out there you can hire)
