I am trying to evaluate couchdb and its potential for solving the sync problem on Android but I can't find any documentation that answers my questions regarding how replication to Android devices works. It looks like the focus todolist couchapp is intended to demonstrate what I am looking for. Does it automatically sync todo's between webapp and device? Also, how do I get the focus couchapp onto the Android device?

@Paul: regarding your last question <blockquote> Also, how do I get the focus couchapp onto the Android device?" </blockquote> It is mentioned in the video link posted above, but to shorten things for others searching the same matter: I assume you know how <code>couchapp push</code> is working since you seem to be using the "focus" couchone/Focus@github couchapp. Otherwise couchapp.org provide a a nice tutorial. Pushing apps to Android couchdb can be done via port-forwarding with the Android Debug Bridge , which is shipped with the Android SDK. On unix like systems the easiest way to use adb would be to open a terminal, "cd" to the sdk directory and to the included "tools/" directory. From there you could call <pre class="prettyprint"><code>./adb forward tcp:5985 tcp:5984 </code></pre> Which will basically enable you to go to "localhost:5985" on your computer and will be redirected to the couchdb running on your android device. Assuming that you have <ol> <li>installed CouchDB from the market and running</li> <li>enabled debugging on your phone </li> <li>have connected your phone:)</li> </ol>

have connected your phone:)
