Hello hello. I have finally made my app where it is functioning to the minimum that it can. Thank you to all who have helped me understand what I needed to do in order to get the basic function working.
App Name - Kentucky Offender Online Lookup
Version - 0.0.1
What Does It Do - All inmates in Kentucky are Ward's of the state, with their information posted on the KY Dept. of Corrections website. Showing their age, birth date, height, weight, why they were incarcerated, when they started serving time, and more.
I am aware that most people won't be using this, but since I work in corrections, I will be.
What I want to do with this app [that I don't know how to]:
-Make it where it doesn't open up another webpage, but instead displays information on the card that the program is already in.
-Enable scrolling of the page. [Did I add that this is my first app and I am just starting to learn HTML/CSS/JS?]
-Make the UI look cosmetically better and more Mojo like.
**Any other suggestions? Want to help me with achieving this?

Wow, never expected to see someone else in the Pre early days that would want/need something similar, haha. Let me see if I can try that url in the code for mine and see if it works somewhat well.i actually want to do this too but with the Travis County (Austin, Tx) inmate lookup found here https://public.co.travis.tx.us/sips/default.aspx
EDIT: Hmm, 2 seconds later I find out it doesn't work so simply. Once I learn more about HTML/CSS/JS I may try to see if I can help you out.
Does this work for the county jails aswell? Interesting app, I will be sideloading 
Different municipalities likely use different formats for information. I'd recommend calling them and asking how you need to format your request.

Indeed, it does. County jails, state jails, half-way houses, anyone incarcerated 18 years or older in the state of kentucky are on here. Remember though, this is an AIP [App in Progress] and may not be working all the right way yetDoes this work for the county jails aswell? Interesting app, I will be sideloading

That is exactly right, and making an app for the Texas inmates would be more benficial.Different municipalities likely use different formats for information. I'd recommend calling them and asking how you need to format your request.
Here is a link to the Texas Inmate Lookup
Maybe that could be use for your purposes instead. But my main focus on on the KY one as I am a correctional officer in the state of KY.
Thats what I was wondering if it actually pulled every inmate, state and county or would that need to be intergrated somehow. The site I was thinking about was ccjail dot org which is my hometown in ky. Nothing would be more funny than being able to pull up a friends mugshot on the fly to pick with them.

Yes, if they in CC jail, then they would show up on this. But you have to know a last name to search for instead of just browsing, but browsing my jail/facility may be a possibility in the future. I even tested a few of the inmates from ccjail.org to see if they are in the KOOL system and they are.Thats what I was wondering if it actually pulled every inmate, state and county or would that need to be intergrated somehow.

Is there a site that this links to?
I designed a site for a Sheriff's Office, thinking about doing a "webphone" style interface..

Corrections, to me, is a fun field to work in...haha. I should be spending the next few hours trying to figure out stuff to do to this app.
This appears to be a very useful app. It would be nice to have an option to select other databases as well.
Been making some progress making it work a little smoother, imo. I was actually discussing with someone adding a drop down menu allowing for the program to load data from other states DoC database. Now if I could find a list of all 50 state DoC database, I may consider trying to do that tonight.
Having a problem...I can run the HTML file from my computer everything works just fine, but when I pack it up and load it to my Pre, the program looks good. I type in a name, hit enter, and it brings up the website but it wont show the results. Now if I open the web browser on the Pre then go to the KOOL website and do a search, it works right. Any idea why this is happening?
Files attached to original post are up to date and the ones I am using
Also, what is the code to make the app scroll when you swipe your finger on the screen?

I'd feel much safer if you could come up with an ap showing where all the politicians were.
Nice thanks. I gonna install this just cause I'm in KY too 
I have no real use for it though.
