I have a very basic knowledge of C++. I studied it two years back and haven't practiced it since.
My college has an attendance page where students can log in and check their attendance. I want to develop an app that will log in to the attendance page and fetch the attendance of the students. I may also need to do some mathematical operations on this attendance data. Is it possible to make such an app? Is it too complex to make?
There's already an app (let's call this app 'A') that fetches and displays the attendance data but I want my app not just to simply fetch and display the attendance data, but to also perform certain mathematical operations using this data. If making an app that will log in to the attendance page and fetch the data is too complicated, is it possible to make an app that will use the data fetched by 'A' to perform mathematical functions?
Please help me out and bear with my curiosity. Thanks in advance
Depends on how app 'A' stores the data. If it is in a standard sqlite database or simple text file with a clear format then you can probably read it. If it uses some obscure file format then you might run into some trouble. Basically you will need to browse the file system of the phone and dig around for how app 'A' stores data.
Is it possible for you to let me know if I post the link to the app here? Then on the basis of the nature of the format, I'll ask my programmer friend to make the code.
Hello? Can someone please help me?

Well, I too have a very little knowledge in C++. Only messed with Console so far, so I'am not familiar with C++ in many ways.
This is my Opinion - As long as you are able to login there, I guess you can download whole page or it's with your logic to fetch data. So as long as you can fetch the data you want messing with the data is so easy. Even I have little knowledge of what you are going to do. I'm not familiar with 'web', but I'm pretty sure that u can find examaples if you do a "google". Anyway why won't you use C#?

It seems I didn't realize your question. Seems like that you want to do your mathematical functions from an app other than app 'A'. As @CellCB mentioned above, you have to find where does that app store the data and in which format. ofc you can't do it if it's encrypted or like that.

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.
I am in the planning stages of creating a social experiment. I am trying to see if it is feasible to develop an app for android to accompany participants using the parameters below. Nothing is set in stone. More could be added as options become available. If you care to know more, just ask. If you can help, that would be a plus.
Android app parameters:
Google Maps Api for proximity alerts to allow a participants to know when a clue is near and for an on-screen visual aid.
Ability to communicate with other app holders whether through text or speech
Integration with G+ - to publicly post what they have found
Ability to track other players real time (ability to disable public player tracking.)
Ability to create a profile to be shared via NFC
Minimize the need for a server to cache information
Minimize graphics
Utilize NFC to collect necessary information at physical locations.
The ability to edit data on a bracelet with an NFC chip embedded within.
The ability to track actions and locations(only when at game designated public locations)
Not sure if I want to embed information in the app or retrieve it on a server. (Information will change on a regular basis.)
Bump. I'm just looking for any kind of feedback on direction

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,
MicroR
I'm new to app development. I have spent some time building web sites using php and MySQL. I have a MySQL database that I would like to use the information from with an Android app I have in mind. Is this something I can do?
Best practice would be to create some interface on your server that has the MySQL database so that your app can call it. You can create PHP pages that you can call with your app and get back results in JSON or XML format and then process them in your app.
Android development is done with JAVA so you can do pretty much anything that you want including directly connecting to a MySQL database but I would really avoid that. Create yourself an interface.
Hey everyone, I wanted to get more information on how to create User Login in an app, say I wanted my users to login with there google or Facebook account and me able to upload photos, where would the accounts and photos be stored?
I know obviously on my own servers but could anyone point in the right direction more reading material would be great.
I'm just starting out in Android Dev, I'd like to get more information in creating these types of applications, thanks for your help. Appreciate it.

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.
