I have searched a few times here and have found nothing, so i'm sorry if there are existing threads on this issue.
I am working on an app that needs to be able to read from (and possibly write information to) my website. The website will be designed for this app.
I understand that android uses SQLite databases to hold local information for an application.
How am I supposed to make my application read information from my website. Do i set up a SQLite database on my server and have the app pipe into that somehow?
I am in very preliminary design stages of both my app and my website. I would like to design them from the getgo so my application can get the information as easily as possible for this website. (it will possibly sumbit information to my website as well, wiki-style).
thanks for all your help. if threads like this exist, please by all means make fun of me for neglecting the search button! But I have purchased two programming books and I still cannot find an answer that is even pointing me in *any* direction.
Anybody have a good tutorial on this subject?
I've been wondering about this too. I really like the new XDA android forum app and was wondering if there is a guide or video on this. Since XDA had one I KNOW its possible.
If I were you I would make a PHP (or whatever you use) bridge which can perform actions in your site. You can use get methods to tell the bridge what would you like to do. The XDA app uses this method, but instead of GETs it uses XML-RPC

I would like to disassemble an Android application. Can anyone share any resource about the tools that are used?

Yeah, right... It's really funny, I just clicked on my above link and all 10 results on the first page was about application disassembly...

Yeah, honestly... Just Google this.
It's incredible how many people fail to use Google before they go around asking.
And, if you are looking to reengineer the files, Brut.all has the perfect solution in his signature.
Ok thanks guys

I think the reason I am not getting the same results as you is because I live in a different region and Google results do differ according to region I dialed into vpn in the UK and git results of a tool called smali. I just ask kindly not to assume that anyone who asks a question a lazy person I feel that if someone simply said "check out smali" that would have been more productive. In my region smali comes out on the forth page of Google search
and you know what it might not even be the best tool out there maybe it is the best tool but not the best one with documentation or not the best one to start with... Google does not answer all those questions which is why I post on this forum because I would assume someone with good experience would give some good advice
So I would like to repeat my question anfmd would ask kindly for answers from experienced users in reverse engineering android apps
Sharing knowledge makes us all better of.

This is why I didn't write something like: "Oh, LOL, do you know, what Google is?", but simply gave you a link ;-)
Ok, smali is definitely the best one to disassemble the code - it's some kind of standard in the Android world. There are other code disassemblers, but they can't compete with smali.
If you want to look into resources (XML files mostly), then you need to decode them, cause they're compiled to binary code at build time. There is only one tool, which is able to do that: apktool, link is in my signature. Apktool contains smali to automate full decoding and building of an app, also it has few more features: you could check them out on project page.
There is also Apk Manager: it's a wrapper around apktool and other tools, it gives you simple GUI and simplifies some tasks, like installing an apk, etc.
WOW thanks a lot man that really helped, I got a very good idea now you rock
Hello people
I've wanted to make a Android app for a while now but I don't know where to start.
Can someone give me some pointers on where to start.
If it involves coding then be warmed I'm a complete novice at that.
No coding method: search Google for Android app inventor.
Coding and better method: Android apps use JAVA. Take some basic online courses, then learn the Android sdk. (functions that are specific to android)
Option b is better, and if you have a little patience it won't be too hard.

If you want to get somewhere forget the app inventor and invest some time.
Start by using google on terms like "android tutorial" "android hello world".
Download eclipse and the android sdk (google has all the info and tutorial on how to do that).
The sdk has ALOT of very good example apps. From 3D drawing to system infos and interface layouts.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Google app inventor is doing my head in.
if anyone is reading this on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard/complicated is making a app using coding?
Depends entirely on what you want the app to do unfortunately. If you can give some basic ideas of what you want it to do it will be easier to say how hard it will be.
well all id like my first app to do is when it starts up to show a picture with text then link you to a web page.
Nothing hard
Thats not too difficult, you could patch work something out of existing tutorials/example.
But its always relative saying how difficult something is.
It depends on the person...
Well sorry that's not helping much. I'm still at a loss on what to do.
Basically all you need to do is copy and paste the code from some tutorial examples, or you could even use the app inventor as you need barely any code to do this, for example:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/index.html
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html
Putting it all together and making it into an application shouldn't take you more than half an hour once you have gone through the starter tutorials to understand how and what it is you are using.
Ok I'll try that.

i really wanna learn, so i went to purchase course and

are you serious??
Well if you are really determined to learn it, you can manage doing it on your own too, with the help of free online resources. Search for a tutorial series on youtube. Here's one I had found useful when I was learning:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQoSE
You should also buy a good book on Java programming and read it. That would help a lot too.
read android developers guide
You can check android developers official site it has lot of tutorials and resources.
You can go to next university library and borrow any Android book. It will not include the latest version of OS, but it will have lot of fundamental information in one place, written by one person. Tutorails often show you how to solve single problem only.
Thank you
Also great video
You're Welcome! Yes it is a great video. That guy really does explain it nicely.
Is App Inventor still working?
Look also at cornboyz tutorial on youtube. Same guy, slightly different tuts
Hi,
Looking for software to develop an app (preferably offline) which will help someone with no coding experience. I am proficient with photoshop & after effects but I don't know any coding.
I am sure at some point I'll require a pro to write some custom script for me but I want to get as far into the project on my own as possible.
I don't want to be bound by some websites hosting terms, with monthly fees and all this other stuff. Preferably, I'd build my app offline and go from there...I don't honestly trust these websites with little app builders then your app is stuck on their site and you're forced to use their hosting and things like that....if it's my app, it's my app!!! I shouldn't be bound to some website or whatever.
So, preferably offline app builder which someone with no coding experience can use?

I promise you I've searched extensively and yet to find what I'm looking for. AppsGeyser lifts content from the net and turns it into an app...it remains on the appsgeyser site so doesn't really fit with what I'm looking for...I just want simple app creation software without having to learn code because what I'm looking to do isn't super-unique, it's just for an add-on to my existing business.
Has anyone ever used Wix for website creation for example?? Fantastic user interface, couldn't be simpler yet the possibilities are pretty much endless especially since you can add custom coding if you wish but I've built a few sites with Wix, all function great, all look fantastic...just a shame they don't have the same service for app creation.

It's pretty much just a local directory type app mate....that's why I mentioned above that I am really not trying to do anything unique so I'd imagine there's some nice editing software out there somewhere I could utilise and have my app designed and created pretty quick....like the above example of the Wix website,...you could have a fantastic looking website up and running in a couple of hours.
Anything guys?
Still looking for nice easy app production software.
Buy the Java reference book. Helped me a lot when k was starting out. Its some 1400 pages.
Books helped me the most especially with SQL. Consult me any time if you can't find your answer on Google cause frequently ur gonna be typing code bit have no idea what it does and how it works.
Also use Eclipse. Its like ms word for programmers with auto correct and hints and things that are very useful

Just sounds like thats way more advanced than I'm looking for dude.
I want build an app to ad onto my local directory business and it really isn't doing anything advanced or unique...it's the content that separates it's from other apps, not it's functionality....an app containing a load of menus with click through links (are these called hyperlinks?) to that section of the directory then linked again to open specific entries within that section of the directory....
Surely, there's a nice easy, almost drag and drop, design software out there I can use?
I'm really put off by these app builders I see that are $50 per month or whatever but if I have to go that way, ok. Thoughts? (Appreciate everyone's input and I know it can be frustrating talking to newbies that really don't have a clue so appreciate the input and patience folks!)

I know enough to know that's simply not true...the reason for the post is that there's loads of drag and drop simple app builders out there that require no coding whatsoever....the point in the question is what is the best one and also the embedded question of why are there monthly charges that have such a huge range?
So, no...no code does not = no app.

Eclipse allows drag and drop bit you're dreaming man. There is no way you can make anything work on android when making an app without knowing some basics of code.
So get that book I told you about, get eclipse, and get the book "hello android" which helped me start out.
Android apps are way more complicated than they seem bro
Monthly charges is because to make app building software is so damn hard. Trust me. Try your hand at old school app development. You will learn to appreciate app makers cause no joke its hard as hell

But question is that why any company offer you free tool that helps you to create app without coding knowledge. So only two option is here May be company offer paid tool for that and i think so no as such paid tool available in the market.
2nd option is company offer you online tool where you can create app without the knowledge of tool, in return companies want you to buy their subscription etc... to use that code.
I used some tools for testing person and some of them give you .apk and .ipa file to test your app on device but do not give you source code of app. You can read more about 4 best app building softwares, but as i mentioned that they do not give you source code.
I hope so above mentioned information helps you.
Please don't forget to thumb up button if it is helpful. Thanks
Not long ago, people / businesses in the UK would have to pay at least £12,000 for the development of a simple website, without administration / hosting / commerce functions, etc.
Now, you can produce professional websites yourself with a little cost and effort. Downloading free templates, Adobe Muse, WebPlus X8, etc.
Adobe have now launched DPS (Digital Publishing Solutions) which will eventually become a standalone, offline solution for people that want the ability to create apps on an offline basis, with a one-off cost (no monthly subscriptions).
Without a doubt, such offline app dev software is in development now, and I cannot wait until it arrives.
For now, I use HTML5 based WYSIWYG solutions which work well in good wifi / 4g connection, but with no App Store listing and no ability to push notify, but I can create these without subscription / cloud based resources.
It suits clients that have a user base that would generally be within good connection areas and require their services in such a place.
Hello everyone, i am wondering how i can make an app that can connect to a website via messages, notifications and basic stuff that only the app offers compared like how the Facebook app works in comparison to the actual website. i have no experience in making an app as complex as this is so im wondering if there is some sort of template or automatic system that can help me build the app but also connect to the blog/forum so Users can access the forum easier from their hand held devices which will bring a lot more of the community in.... Actually i have seen your app for this forum, and i need to make something similar for a forum that im helping out, as i am a member to this forum and came up with the idea of making an app. where do i even start?
it would be even better if some one could develop an app for me, of course you'd be getting all the credit
I am looking for an app developer to create an app on my idea. I search for a similar app on play stores and apple store but could not find any one. So i think its a unique idea and large number of users would be interested in using it.
When i searched on google i found few usefull tools that help me in generating an estimate for mobile app development with all features i wanted to incorporate.
Using three different app estimator tools I generated app development estimate by selecting several available features for iPhone and Android.
Using Estimatemyapp.com i found an easy to use layout however i was amazed to see high development cost with very limited available features.
Using Apprasoft app estimator I noticed wide array of available features which I could integrate in my app, the overall flow was very helpful and I got detailed cost breakup along with timeline giving me an idea how long will development will take.
After using apprasoft.com and Estimatemyapp.com I used howmuchtomakeanapp.com but I wasn't satisfied as it was not as much detailed as the other too.
I am still looking for app developers who could develop an app over my idea however after using app estimators I got idea how much cost would it take.
