Questions about Local Storage and Widgets for Android & iOS

Need help
1

I am building a consumer app for teachers and students.

Every day at a defined time, teacher shares a homework for the student. Student receives a push notification, views the homework and marks it as complete.

I have 2 questions here:

  1. I have a calendar view for the student to see the days when they completed the homework on time and the days they missed it. Can I store the past completed homework data in local storage? So that the student doesn’t have to wait for the entire month’s data to load in the calendar.
  2. Students will have to be reminded to complete their homework. While Push notifications may solve the problem, a widget on the Android homescreen would facilitate this further. Is it possible to create widgets in bubble? If not, how do I create this?

Thank you

Hey @imran,

That’s a really nice concept, that kind of setup works great in Bubble.
For the calendar, yeah, you can definitely use local storage to make things load faster without pulling a whole month’s data every time.

As for Android widgets, Bubble doesn’t natively support them yet, but there are solid ways around it depending on how your app’s wrapped. I’ve worked on similar setups with mobile wrappers and push notifications, so I’ve got a good idea how to structure it for your use case.

If you’d like, I can point you in the right direction or help you get it running smoothly.
