Update Android Application Data

I don’t have the project running yet, but I’m developing an app that shows the menu of a restaurant Universitario. The part I’m in doubt about is updating the menu weekly.

I already used FTP to update a txt file on Android, and thought to mount a cardapio in a txt file, save on an FTP server and the app communicate with that server and download the TXT file.

The app has 5 ratio buttons (one for each week). In case I thought of 5 files containing the menu of each day, I lower these files and show in a textrView per day of the week.

Would it work? And there would be some simpler way?

It would work yes, this one seems the simplest and not the most correct.

The most correct would be to use a WEB server can be WCF C# ASP.NET or some other.

And that WCF server would take from a database.

This way I spoke is a little more "expensive and time consuming" to do, but it is the most correct.

Anyway, what you said about doing would work.
