The last step is to create the prc-file from the preverified classfile. Either if you have installed your self compiled version of DBSample or the downloaded version, on POSE or on your real Palm device you should see a screenshot like the following after the first start of the DBSample application. This is also the case when I start the application at first time and no DB is found, like the first screenshot shows. As you can see in the sourcecode, the second time I do something with the database is in the constructor of DBSample again. I check if there are records in the DB, and if so, I will add the Stringrecords to the list to show the user.
Nothing seems to be as easy as adding a new String to the database.
Just type a string into the Textfield and press the add button of the application. If there is an empty String I print it out to the user using the status label. Now I have explained how to add and a little bit how to read a DBString. Just close the application now, to see that I really write an read the DB and see that this Applications isn't a fake. I now start the information panel on my palm to show that there is a real database on the palm I created.
