Dear XDA Community,
I m building with some colleagues an app. We finished the front end and are thinking about starting the backend.
The thing is we don t have any experience in backend business, servers, clouding etc. (yes, noobs but learning )
we could have a friend setting the app for us on the cloud. But he won’t have the time to manage the platform once the app is “plugged in”
My question is the following: What kind of platform (iaas, paas, saas) would you recommend for an app so that there is no much work and knowledge required once it’s plugged in in the platform?
The app is quite similar to instagram, with pictures sharing and Push notifications.
Thank you very much in advance

Dear xda community,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself ...
My name is Tibor, (almost) 22 years old and I study media computer science in third Semester, so I'm not a novice programmer, which is also due to the fact that I am programming often and lovingly.
Now to my problem. I downloaded the Android SDK with all the trimmings because I have already been working with Android for a year. Since I am studying at the Technical University of Dresden and this system uses an enrollment which calls itself "jExam" and there's no app for it until today to go get one's test results, or to register or unregister for exercises, etc., I decided to tackle this probably unlikely serious matter.
The website looks like that you need to login first and foremost, and then comes in an overview.
I would like to implement this overview, and the respective content into the app. But since I am an absolute beginner in the App Development scene (someone with basic knowledge of Java!), I rely on help from the community.
Now I would like to know how it is possible first of all to transfer the data of my "login form" to the server and then later retrieve everything?
I would appreciate active participation on your part
Best regards, Tibor
(sorry for my bad english, I actually am from Germany)
Hi I'm Mark a Web development student in my final year.
Basically for my final project were working with an external company that want stuff done for free or very close, this includes an android app.
The app im going to try to make will be private for the company to give out locations using google maps and gps/geolocation.
The app will be distributed through the site we are developing to certain users and not featured on the marketplace due to privacy issues.
Problem is I've never developed for android or any mobile platforms and have an extremely basic knowledge of Java but i mainly develop for web and windows using c# so naturally I have a few questions for people with experience in android development.
1. Is it possible to have the app powered by google maps?
2. Any suggestions of how one user will be able to upload gps coordinates to this app?
3. Rough idea of how long it would take e.g. few hours, few days, few months?
4. Overall is it possible, any problems I might run into?
5 Any Advice, tips,or better suggestions?
Thanks a lot for reading this far, any answers or help would be greatly appreciated.

OK people
I’m pretty good with IT and the written word but have no coding experience whatsoever. I want to develop a phone App (both iPhone and Android).
The app will include Google mapping technology, Facebook check in capability, account sign up and message system to fellow subscribers and push notifications triggered by geographical location and in app advertising.
I know there are different web based services and software for App development. But I am totally overwhelmed over where to start and I’d rather not learn to code from scratch.
If anyone could point me in the direction of any required reading/research, web tutorials or lectures I would be most grateful. Or if there is software that would allow me to develop the app easily. I don’t really like to idea of signing up with an online service in case I want to move the app to a business model in the future.
Alternatively any affordable services that allow me to keep full control of the app even if I unsubscribe could work.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I was thinking about how to handle mobile growth tasks on a 3rd party SDK.
I came up with this idea because there are so many tasks that are not related directly to my core product and I was forced to put so much time and efforts to deal with them. Tasks such as getting more sharing of my apps on twitter & facebook, getting more rating on the app store and so on.
If you find this idea somewhat interesting I’ll be happy to discuss and learn more about your needs, before rushing and developing it
