Bluetooth CarPC WM control - CDMA

Ok, I really didnt know exactly what to put for the title of this because its a pretty strange request.
A little backbrief: I have a CarPC setup with a 7" touchscreen in my dash, a computer in the trunk, a bluetooth module, a microphone, runs through the car speakers, and running a front end called RoadRunner.
Basically what I'm looking for is:
1) The ability to call out and answer phone calls through the CarPC (full computer). - Using the RoadRunner program there are some interupts built in so that it will automatically stop the music and switch to a screen that has the phone "skin", but I'm not sure what it all entails to make that portion work yet.
2) It must connect through bluetooth
3) The ability to read through the phone's address book and/or store the phonebook in the CarPC.
4) Speach activation would be nice, but not a 100% must have necessarily
5) The ability to read/write text messages would also be nice, but not required
Essentially the skin should be similar to this link:
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/road-runner/93387-freefone-1-3-full-integration-roadrunner.html
But the problem with that particular skin is that there is no support for WM devices, that is unless you have another piece of software called phonecontrol.net, but that software is now discontinued, so there's nothing for WM devices.
Now, I'm not asking someone on here to build something for me necessarily (even though that would be nice) but I am not sure what phone protocols there are to connect the bluetooth and use it, or if they are specific to the bluetooth adapters (bluesoiel, microsoft stack, etc) or if its all in the phone, and whatnot. I've got a good coding background, so its possible I can develop something, or modify something to work, but since there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum I figured someone on here might have some know how and ideas.
Thanks

Advice on what to research and study to make app that connects to web services

Hello! overflowers? I'm a beginner android developer and I have developed several apps that use the "basics" of android and java (for college requirements)
Now, I need to develop a new project that consists of making a web app which stores the records of all students from my college and the students will be able to check their records and other information from the college from their android phones.
I have done a lot of stuff with Android but I haven't done anything incluiding web queries, pulling info from a website to display into the device, etc etc.
So I want some advice here and/or tutorials that focus on this.
also, I have some important questions: 1. Can I pull information from the actual website from my college? If so, do I need to recieve some sort of permissions?
2. In case of not being able to pull information from the actual website from my college (for any reason whatsoever, like them not giving me permissions to do this), I could create a website that imitates its behavior, I would appreciate some tutorial or guide which could help me to achieve this.
Your help is very appreciated.
Btw, excuse if I'm breaking a rule here but something is not making sense to me.. the forum title says Q&A but when I mark this as a question it says this is not Q&A. I am aware this might be moved somewhere else but I dont know where.

I would look into hosting an sqlite3 database on a server, and access it to retrieve the data from within your app.
But the problem is, by default you cannot access an online database on Android, so you'll need to add some kind of RESTful interface, the easiest way probably being a php script which will retrieve the data from the database and return it into a JSON object for example, that you can then pull from within your app.
You'll need to expose some kind of syntax from your php script so that your app can request the data for a specific user (ie row X / column Y).
There's probably a better approach, but this is what comes to my mind.

[Q] creating an android equivalent of airPcap.

i believe i could create the app relatively easily as i am a c++ programmer and would learn the language used for android providing if anyone can tell me if the wifi chip set on the Samsung galaxy s4 can write to disk. if not it would be impossible without connecting an external method of capturing and saving the packets. if anybody could direct me to the correct place for the information i need or if there is already a project underway could you provide information. would be interesting to see if it is possible with the existing wifi chip-set.

I'm not aware of any networking cards that can write directly to disk so thats really not a requirement for pcap. You are unlikely to be able to run pcap on just an android device however if you search google play for pcap you'll find the author of kismet implemented a rtl 8187 driver in userspace that runs without root, all you have to do is plug in a rtl8187 base usb wlan card and you're good to go. http://www.kismetwireless.net/android-pcap/

[Q] sending data via Wlan from android phone to pc

Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to android programming and Java overall.
Anyway, I dont know if this is super duper hard to do, but how is it possible to send 3 or 4 bits to a programm running on a computer from an android phone via Wlan? How does this work in generall? If this is actually quiet a lot to write, Do you know a good tutorial?
I just have Airdroid in mind, where you scan that Qr code from web.airdroid.com.
Thanks in advance
(Uhh and I got that message that this is not a Q&A Forum and stuff, but I didnt find another Forum and actually I'm in App Development Forums > Coding Discussion, Q&A, and Educational Resources > Java for Android App Development > Post New Thread so pffuuuh, put da hate on me)
