My aim:
There is a webpage to view my company's bus schedule and I wanna make an android app for that portal.
About the portal:
authentication: used 'live http headers' firefox addon and saw this 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=*******' . Googling came to know it is just basic HTTP access authentication
webpage technology: i guess asp.net ( homepage URL is /Default.aspx)
for searching for bus routes i guess just a webform is used.
NOTE: i have zero experience and zero knowledge in asp.net...by zero i mean literally zero...dont even know what it is.
Now about my android experience:
Have been using android mobiles for around 3 yrs.Tried the'hello world' program.There ends my knowledge with android.
Softwares Installed:
Eclipse IDE- Configured for android development
Android SDK installed and configured
Have used Virtual Device(AVD Manager) for that hello world program
Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition ( i guess not needed for this project.Mentioning it just in case if it is needed)
So i am expecting some tutorials or materials which can help me in kick starting this project.

With this website (http://www.appsgeyser.com/) you can actually make an android app of any website, with 0% coding experience needed.

create an app in Java to send you to your webpage.
Creating the life cycle of your app here:
http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/starting.html
Creating buttons here
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/button.html
Dont forget to read.
Add this to a button in your code or in onCreate():
------------------------------------------------------------
Uri uri = Uri.parse("our url here");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(intent);

@coolsandie : Thanks..I wil look into that link
@Jrcon : Thanks for those links... wil help me really in coding a android app.but i guess i was not clear enough..I dont want a redirecting app... I need to create a complete new GUI app that can replace that web portal. take for example XDA Android app itself..its a completely standalone App for this website..I wanna code such an app

Hello all, I have a question about developing an application for my graduation project. The idea is to develop an application in which the various books/information sources get a place and can be placed under different semesters/years. The information as provided has to have an easy way of updating for teachers(probbebly web-based). The aplication also has to work on iOS. Can you guys give me an idea on how to start i think HTML5 is a good option.
For cross platform application you can try PhoneGap(phonegap.com) with Dojo (dojotoolkit.org).
Front end is only half!

HTML5 will be great, but it will be difficult for a school to update as a native app. I suggest simply using a mobile-ready website. jQuery Mobile is great for this, and it handles all the cross platform issues. Have you given any consideration to serverside code? Php, .Net, and Node.js are all great options. Talk with an administrator about what kind of system they use to store files & links currently. You could fairly simply make a page that scans a file share they maintain to build the page .
Are all current (including budget) phones capeble of running .net or PHP? I'll probebly host the site/app myselve for a while during the test phase so if i go web-based it will be PHP since my host is a linux host. I'll have a look tomorrow, I'm studying to be an officer on a ship not an programmer so all programming is new, I did some vb/php but nothing fancy.
i started with icenium, but found out that icenium doesn't offer to store the webfiles on your own server. So thats not an option.
Hi all,
Im new in this forum and just wanna ask for some help on where can i find a simple tutorial or a sample project of an android application that can communicate with a java application on a PC.
im thinking via wifi.. also i got some knowledge in java programming and right now im starting to learn more about android development.
some simple tutorial/samples like an android app where you have to type a message and it will show on the java application when the send button is clicked.
Hi Wakkana,
If you want to communicate with your own computer on your local network, it's the most easy.
On your Android client, you have just to open a HttpURLConnection (see URL, URL.openConnection(), URL.setRequestMethod()) and check if the result is == 200 (if it's okay) or not. On your computer, you'll need to manage a connections server. There are good libs to do that, Netty for example, with really easy examples.
If you want to communicate with your own computer from an external network, you have to redirect from your box a port to your computer/server port, and use the box IP in the Android client.
BUT, I'm not sure xda is the best forum to speak about network programming (without a custom ROM for example)...
Try to get good java basis before start to learn Android
From Desktop and Web to Android Devices : I Need Help
For over twenty years I have developed apps using Borland's Delphi and BDS development tools. I now want to migrate a subset of that functionality to Android devices ... but need help getting over the learning curve hump.
The general particulars are:
1. Master-Detail, content management. Multiple detail data tables for each master record.
2. Image gallery. See all images in the gallery or only those images which have been linked to a master record.
3. Taking a pic and linking it to a master record.
4. Ability to query for local businesses ... such as "Find <business name> within <x miles> of my current GPS location.
I currently have Eclipse and the latest ADK tools installed. Also, I have some Java experience.
Is there a place I can go to find a baseline source code framework that satisfies these requirements and demonstrates how to store and manage the master and detail data and links?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at [email protected]
Many thanks, from an old dog trying to learn new tricks.

I've been learning Android development recently and finally released my first free app.
It's open source and available on Github too. It's made with C# in Xamarin (not forms though, which meansit uses Android's native APIs).
I chose to start with a TOTP generator because
It's a non trivial use case yet not too complex
It allows to meaningfully integrate image acquisition and protocol handling
I already had a UWP version I could reuse the corre logic from
The Google OTP generator uses a web service to scan QR codes, as far as I can tell
I'd be interested in asking for feedback: does the app's UI feel right? What areas can I improve?

It was nice to see that you have your first software released. Congradulations... And thanks for sharing. As I saw you developed your software with Xamarin which is a cross platform framework. It would be great if you can share your experience here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/frameworks/native-vs-cross-platform-t3850250 with other people.
I like to hear more stories about crossplatform and also native coding experiences.
I'm going to give your software a try.
I'm not a fan of material design UI, however your app looks nice. Congratulations for creating your first app.
Congratulations. You made the right choice when decided to create tool. Wish you high ratings and many downloads! I downloaded it on my phone.
Hello, I am looking Android App Development help please.
I would like to make an Android TV box app and was wondering if I can get some help creating one with the following requirements;
1) Looking for a Template, for starters, so I don't have to code one from scratch since I have no idea of what I'm doing
2) Configure the app to utilize a Username/Password which verifies the account on a server database that I control.
3) Hopefully it will be easy to include a link within the code that reaches out to an XML file on my server or whatever where I have a list of Video Streams/Feeds that the app reads and you can select what video you want to play.
Thank you
Hi I'm not an android coder but a c# coder in terms of a template project, something like this? https://github.com/hitherejoe/AndroidTvBoilerplate
I just searched android TV boilerplate (a boilerplate is template). Hope it helped.
