Expected duration: less than 1 week
I have a web application which is merely a web form (written in classic asp) which contains just a textarea (where i type the message i want to sent), a list of people from where i select the recipient using tickboxes, and a Submit button. Upon submission the message I typed is sent to the recipient via email and a copy is stored in a database table. The recipient also has a web page to which he logs in using a his email and password (predefined) and they are loaded into a session variable and that way he can see a list of all the messages he has been sent in the past.. Let's call that page (let's call it "Message History page". I now want to create a mobile app (both android and ios) which contains just a form for storing the user's email and password, and a webview in which the "Message History page" shows after the user automatically logs in (due to the credentials automatically submitted to the login page by the mobile app). The question is: How can I make this app also show notifications on the phone of the user when a new message is sent to him (while the app is not running yet)? Then the idea is that the use would click on that notification and the app would open and take him to the "Message History page" or directly to the latest message received. How many hours of work do you think it would be for a mobile app developer to do this kind of app (which is essentially just a webview and the app notifications)? |
