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

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie in Android, I want to make an app like XDA, but still don't know how to make it. Does anyone know some sources, basic documents, example to make an app like XDA, please share with me.
Thanks in advance!

You don't start by building a mercedes, try building a wheel, then a card etc.
There is no simple HOWTO: Xda App...
Use google and start with basic android tutorials...
Thank Dark3n!
Yes, I'm doing the most basic thing in Android, but now I get stuck at Network-Web service issue. Just want to ask you guys who has much experience in Android can give me some URLs or documents or some examples to learn.
Sorry but JFGI

Any.do task app for android uses a very unique style of UI, probably close to windows 7. Any idea what kind of SDK or GUI kit is used for this?
Try sending one of them an email.

(Btw, move your mouse around the portraits )
Thanks for your reply. I have dropped a mail to them, lets see their reply.
Moving the mouse over the portraits was interesting . Thanks for pointing.

Hey,
I'm one of Any.DO's developers. I developed most of the UI on the app and I can tell you that I didn't use any special SDK/Toolkit for that.
To get most of the stuff done over there, I just build custom component that gives me the actions I needed, for example the Drag and Drop list.
great app by you guys, will be writing up a thread about the same...
shalom udinic,
plz can U tell me why don't u add automatic sync support, I just don't understand why, some kind of "political" decision?
many thanks!
Hey guys, With a the help of few on-line classes, I have been able to develop an android app called BrainDrain. It is puzzle based.
I have released the app on the Google market place, yet there are certain things I could change to make the app better.
For instance, I haven't figured out how to stop the background music when the app is sent into the background. Also I don't want to have to go through the process of making thousands of Xml's to support screens with bigger sizes, is there any short cut or some kind of easier way?
If you could please test the app, and reply back with suggestions regarding these problems, and also suggest solutions for any other problems you come across? Thank you! .
"BrainDrain" is the app's name, please search for it on Google play, I'm a new user so I don't have the permission to post links!
Sounds interesting will test and let you know my thoughts

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?

Simple search would've showed this. The search button is very powerful and so is google.
What kind of application would you like to create? I could help you build or get you the tools for your app and teach you how to code.

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.
