In a previous article (Developing a Custom Skill for an Alexa Game), we showed you how to build a custom Alexa skill using Backendless and our Amazon Alexa Skill SDK. Now, we are going to show how to make the same game using our Codeless feature – in other words – without any coding!
Today we are going to walk you through the process of allowing users to register and log into your app using their Google account. The best way to showcase this is to walk through the Registration and Login example app available in the Code Generation section of your Backendless Console.
In a previous article (How to Save an Object with All the Children in a Single Call to Server), we examined how to simply save an object model. However, Backendless custom services give us much more flexibility when it comes to saving objects.
From time to time, we see some developers struggle with understanding how the principles of asynchronous work with Backendless. In this post, we’ll try to shed more light on this aspect: describe what async calls are, why you need them and how to properly perform such calls and process the results. This post will be specific…
Today, we are going to look at a useful and interesting, but hidden, feature of Backendless. This function will give us the ability to create a multi-column table schema with a single query.
This post will show you how to implement a kind of “expiration” for your data objects. The strategy is sufficiently abstract, so it’s applicable to any resource you need to expire, including files, logs, and so on. Since the database does not have any built-in expiration mechanism, we’ll have to implement it on our own. Fortunately,…
One of the final steps before you release an app is to setup proper security. Specifically, the security of your File Storage is perhaps the most important since it may contain your business logic code (Cloud Code), your public website data, your logs, and any other assets that you probably do not want anyone from…
If you’ve worked with Backendless API for a while, you may occasionally run into a situation where the functionality you’d like to have isn’t readily available. One such function is the programmatic management of your application’s data tables. For instance, you may need to clear up all the data and recreate the table structure with specific columns…
The ability to send push notifications has been a key Backendless feature for quite a while, but until now, it only had a basic set of actions such as sending to all devices in a specific channel and/or to a specific device type (Android/iOS). With the latest changes, it has grown into a powerful tool…
