Database Users

[Q] Need help creating an app.

Hey everyone, I'm new to XDA forums. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me I want to create an android app for a forum site. It would be similar to the app for this site. I know basics but this I think is out of my league. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks alot.

The simple (and easier) way to go about it is to create an app that has one activity with a webview in it that points to your forum site(mobile view).
That way you can have a downloadable app with a nice icon and everything but you don't have to reinvent the wheel of your forum in java.

like a link app easy to make in appinventor

Google account app management

Does anybody know how to manage the apps that lithium and cyanogen pull from my Google account to install? When I install the Roms fresh and login and open the market they start pulling down old apps I don't use anymore. How do I make Google forget those old ones?

I have just uninstalled them and the next time i install a rom it doesn't download it anymore. Are you letting it download and uninstalling it or just cancelling the download?

I really wish we had more control over what apps are stored on the cloud

s4 samsung apps different to s2 samsung app?

Hi,
For some reason i cant seem to have my purchased apps listed on the samsung app store on the s4 but it is listed on the s2.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Clear data on S4 and sign in again... If doesn't work,use backup-restore app to generate apk in new folder, then send apk via Bluetooth wherever you want.

hi,
thanks for your advice but it doesnt seem to work. The app i need checks for licenses of the app so i cant copy the apk

If you are root user, u can remove license verification, or install cracked play store to verify all apps... If you are not,contact Google.

You can't have it unless it is set to be compatible for S4. I can't find Polaris Office there too.

My answers were based on "compatible with both devices apps" if it is with one and not the other... Of course you won't find it -___-

MySQL Database Connectivity

Hey people,
I have a website service that is built upon a MySQL database. I am trying to code an android app for the same, however I am not able to link my app to fetch and throw data at the database?
Can you help me understand the concept better?
My database is set up on a server over the Internet. How can I have my android app fetch data from it directly?
Thanks, in advance

I think you have first to create a webpage server side in PHP and you list the content so you can through PHP commands send requests to your db.

Thanks for that, xpirt
Is there a way to do that without using an intermediate php script? A more direct method, which can be implemented within the app itself?
The method you explained is what I wanna keep as my last resort.

I don't know. I'm a PHP programmer and I know only with this to connect to databases, I'm a newbie in Java so I'm not able to help you

Take a look at this link: http://zetcode.com/db/mysqljava/
The one issue that may stop you is if you don't have control over the server OS. Most hosting providers will not let you connect to mysql via internet connections.

My first advice would be look into Android L Design
secondly not exactly understanding what you mean by you want the app to act as a wedding info plus an invitation for your sisters wedding. mind elaborating a bit more?
Like are you trying to invite people from the app?
Or are you sending the app to people?
As for info on the app I am assuming your trying to make the app like an invitation I think? Not exactly sure what your asking so clear the question up a bit and ill try to help ya out.

Hi...sorry for late reply .I will send the app to people.The app will give all info regarding bride and groom.. venue..some background music.and should contain the facility as the app user can send text msg to couple and can send his wishes using pic which can be clicked by camera.and when he press the submit button the msg should deliver to google drive or something.I am not familiar here..can you please guide me???
