I was asked to create a self-contained mobile (android) app.

What do it means by self-contained app ??

Can it connect to a remote server/ database ? Can it use an internal SqlLite database on mobile?

Are there any other restrictions/ conditions that apply to a self-contained app ?

  • Who gave you this project? Is this for a class or as a demo? Usually self-contained means just that - it contains everything inside itself. Thus, no external dependencies (like a database). – IAmTimCorey Feb 20 '12 at 21:00
  • @BiggsTRC the project is for a local app contest. Okay so should not even use a database present in the mobile (not over network)? In that case I may have to use files(xml or other) to store some sample data of the app. I'm I correct so far? – Hari Gudigundla Feb 20 '12 at 23:33

A self contained application requires absolutely no network connections or external dependancies in order to meet it's functional requirements.
