How would i know my application is running somewhere ?

[rajan701v]

Hi Everyone!!

I have one more query. I want to know is it possible to know whether my application is running somewhere else in other mobile..

Flow of my project is as follows :

I have a login form. The user has to enter the login id and password. The user will be identified from the webservie integrated with application on the basis of three parameters : login_id, password and IMEI no. fetched from the mobile. if it is authenticated it will go through next form by collecting the data from database at server end.

Now my question is, is it possible to know the whether the application has accessed mysql database from the particular imei number.

I think you can not find out the IMEI number directly but u can check for device IP and other details at server.

Sorry, but i found the IMEI using System.getProperty("com.nokia.mid.imei");

Actually what i want is that the one user can login in one mobile at the same time.. The other mobile cannot enter the same login id and password.

You cannot access IMEI on all phones. Good thing that the device you are using will allow you to see it.

Simple solution. Keep track of currently logged in users on the server side. Clear the user from that list either after a logout, or after long enough inactivity period. The length of that period depends on the app in question. Unfortunately this can still lead to problems (user cannot log in as the system thinks it is still logged in from another phone) so I am questioning the rationale for this kind of access restriction

you can add imei in your login request and check if some1 had already login with the same IMEI or not.

How is it possible i could not understand, since every mobile has its unique IMEI.

Actually the IMEI no. is also authenticated from the server end. There is a list of IMEI nos. already saved in database at server end.
The logic is the user enters the loginid and password..... LoginId, password and IMEI no. fetched are authenticated from the server end. if one of them is not found. the application will not move further.
Suppose, the user is authenticated and logged in successfully.
Now the other user can login with same id and password but with different IMEI(New Mobile) Which i do not want.

I am using Nokia 6220 Classic phone, and i found the IMEI no. using the System property.

so while you are creating the authentication table, you can have the user name, password and IMEI no. so you map your user id with one IMEI no only.

You mean to say that one user must use only one mobile (IMEI No.)registered to him, but not other mobile.

Suppose i have around 100 mobile phones then how would the user know his/her registered mobile.

I will recommend you that use the hartti post number 4, Even you can mentain the user online and offline status on the server and about the issue that Hartti has described, you can manage the user using the unique ID as per the unique user name.

let us know the concern if any..
