Very Simple Database App - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, I want to create my own database app. I often have to store my customers and clients data. I want to create an app that allow me to store clients data. Just a simple form type. For example Title, First name. last name, address and contact details and all. I should be able to edit details later on. I don't want many options.
Is there any easiest way to create app like this or any existing app that can allow me to do all this.
I am not a programmer or developer.
Please help me.
Thanks in Advance.

[Q] Why does an app need this permission: ACCESS EMAIL PROVIDER DATA ?

I was looking at this free Kingsoft Office and here is what it lists among its required permissions:
"Access email provider data
Allows this application to access your email database, including received messages, sent messages, usernames and passwords."
It seems highly suspicious to me even without the usernames and passwords part. Can anyone explain? Should I stay away from such apps? Thanks!
The app is in Google Play, I can't give the link because I'm a new user.
OK, so I take it nobody cares why an app downloaded millions of times would ask for these things? To me it seems like a huge risk, so good thing I'm not using it. The developers didn't bother to answer my email either. Great! Check permissions very carefully before you install an app, people!

Self hosted SMS synchronization/sending server?

Hi all,
There are a lot of apps out there like MightyText, AirDroid, or DesktopSMS that allow you to send SMS messages from your PC. The problem with these services is that all the TOSs show that messages could be saved on their server. They also give pretty universal permission control to the application. While I'm sure these apps are "safe," I'm looking for a self-hosted solution, where I can host a website that my SMS/MMS content is synchronized to, and allows me to send SMS/MMS from the web browser (or companion app).
Is there something out there that does this? If not, I'm going to look into developing it myself.
Thanks!
Platform
I'm a developer and I had to create something for one project of mine and in time it became a whole project by himself.
I've created a self-hosted SMS marketing platform that it's integrated with more than 150 SMS providers you can bring your own device if you require it.
Have a look at selfhostedsms.com

[Q] Help making Android App with MySQL DB (or other DB if you have suggestions)

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,

Their are a few ways to look at it.
1: How is the login suppose to function?
2: Client side or Server side?
3: The main login files are normally stored sever side.
4: What programming language and or crm are you using?
5: What ever your using for the base operation login would be where you will seek the help for that enviroment.
6: If you are logging in to anything.. Then you would go through a program you made or a web page viewed.
7: Are you trying to Api through apps to jack the login information to login to multiple places? Or one place?
8: Your question is good ,but you need to specify exactly what you want to do ,and the outcome.
9: Are you programing an apk app?
10: Are you making a ROM or ?
11: If you want a user to fly across from Google or Facebook then you would basically intercept the Api of the login and act as if your the actual program. That type of thing is Api related.
12: Every program has it's own programming and api calls and functions... Also special folders Vendor specific.....
Sorta like hacking the vendors api...
That would evolve into security protocols being tampered with. That's why they don't give out that information. But you could sniff the packets via a computer and send and receive responses and also do some reverse engineering on the Api.
Deep level stuff.
Not something people will just answer.
The answer is in the question please tell us from beginning to end what it is you want to accomplish.

How to check exactly which URL an app is landing me on?

Hi. When I make payments on computer browsers, I can see exactly what URL an app has redirected me to. This helps me ensure that I have not landed on some phishing site. But when I make payments using Android apps, I can't see URL of the landing sites because they don't open in browsers; rather the apps use their own GUI to show everything. Here I can't be sure with whom am I sharing my bank details etc.
So is there a way in which Android addresses this issue or how can I check where my apps are exactly taking me to (URL) for payments etc?
Yes!
You may check the xml files of the app and find the link with the help of an app called XML VIEWER AND EDITOR.
