Filemaker?

[Suprdave12]

Would be really great to have a database application that would sync with filemaker. Be awesome to make a database on Filemaker and export it to the Droid and back.

Agred!!! does Filemaker not realize that there are more new Android users on a daily basis than iPhone users? It is immensely frustrating not to have an app for accessing filemaker on the Android.

I also agree. I have received an email from Filemaker promoting the iphone app, which prompted me to search for and Android app.... nothing as yet. It would be SO useful!

I was just looking for the same. I hate to be conspiratorial - actually that's not true, i love it - but what could be going on here is that Filemaker is a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple. And so they are just not psyched to offer an app for the iPhone's competition.

Perhaps there is a decent app that can sync with Filemaker files? I use Filemaker for all my addresses etc. and have exported it to google docs successfully and can read them on my phone via the browser but it isn't pretty.

Hello Everyone!

I saw this thread and wanted to let you know that I've just posted my own android app for accessing FileMaker dateabases. It's not as pretty as FMGo, but it works for basic database access. You can find, edit, sort, download containers, and run scripts. You can also configure your database with some naming conventions so that you can control which layouts and scripts your users can run and see.

Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback or questions!
