Hello all,
I am working on a project for my university. They have a department that wants a mobile app developed for a website they hold.
The website is based in wordpress. I am not going to cope out and use a webview. Any tips or ideas of how to parse the website, they have an RSS feed for the info on the page.
I am thinking about building an RSS reading class and using it to parse the page within an activity.

Considering how much Google has done to popularize them, it seems like a glaring oversight that I read about an interesting app on my laptop or desktop, see a link to the bottom of the article, and visit the Market page yet I then have to open up a QR code generator to be able to easily get to that page on my phone. Why doesn't google autogenerate one somewhere on the app page?
Probably because you can directly push the app to your phone from that page. As long as you're logged in, you should be able to install directly from the market site.
Hi All,
Is it possible to make an android app with the following approach?
Create an app with login control (textfield and password field).
The App button is actually submitting to a web login to get a web auth session.
The server then returning a success or failure response and at the same time the server will create a auth session for this user logon.
Then the app switch to a WebView control to browse the member page which required the auth session from the login action previously.
Simply say, it is just like mobile version of website, performing login and browsing, but moved the login part into app, use WebView to keep browsing the rest.
Hi.
I am new to Android and am looking to solve a problem.
I want to create an Android app that has a login and that you can send messages back and forth with the people who use that app. Similar to the Facebook Messenger App. Also similar to Facebook, I want to users to be able to log in via a web-app in their browsers and view/exchange messages.
My idea was MySQL as the database that stores all of this information. The website will then be made with a PHP framework to access that MySQL data and similarly, I was thinking the Android App would read/write to that same MySQL Database.
I already proto-typed this and was able to create an android app that posts data to a process.php file I have sitting on a web server which then queries the MySQL database, and returns a JSON object back to the Android App for consumption. I followed this guide from Stack Overflow to accomplish this and it worked good. I also searched these forums and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325799 which seems to sort of do things the same way.
My question is:
1) Is this the right way to do things for an app I want to scale to 10,000 users? I want to ask the more experienced developers if this is how they would go about creating such an app. Is there a better way besides what I described? I am a noobie so this was the best way I could come up with from searching the internet.
Much Love,

Hello,
I'm looking for an RSS feed reader that is smart enough to find the feed URL automatically, for example I type a website like "xda-developer.com" or better, just "xda" and the app has a search engine that finds the URL http://www.xda-developers.com/feed/
The app should not force me to register, and should not have abusive permissions.
I don't like predefined feeds, I prefer to choose my own sources, but if I can remove them it's OK.
Open source would be great. Paid app would be OK if nice looking.
Do you know such an app, or should I develop it myself?
Thanks!
Dear XDA Guys,
I need you guys support to create web browser app that only opens single website. For that i am planning to modify existing open source android web browser to display single site. So i can upload them to google play store as my personal app for my site.
I hope this thing already existing. Please suggest your ideas.
