[Help] App development - Android Software Development

I'm making a Java project for school to the final tests, and I need good Guides and Documentation.
The purpose is to make a Remote Control App.
Here is the problem, I don't really know how can I communicate from the PC to the App, And I just started to learn how to make Android apps .
I know how to control the PC if I get the correct variables (I attempt to use the ROBOT in java).
The things I need to learn is:
How I create a network (LAN based) between the PC and the App.
How to make an App that can bee used for those purpose.
Thanks to any one who help :laugh: .

The Communicator app: Where to start with Android app development

Hey guys
Aight so the idea is to create an app that lets the user speak to someone in a different language. You make a recording and using the same function that the voice search feature has that recording gets translated to typed words on the phone. The app then uses some translating service like google translate to convert that writing to a language of your choice. That writing will then get read* by the phone and can be heard through the speakers. So essentially you can talk to someone even if you dont speak the same language.
*I know this is possible because I used to have an app that did just this: it read out loud what you wrote down
I have no experience with android development, and not very much with programming either for that matter (ive done some python stuff). However, I thought of this, which dosen't seem too hard to create, and I thought this would be a great way for me to start off and learn about app development.
Ok so because most of the features already exist it should just be a matter of patching them all together (right?). This is where I need you guys' help. Any suggestions on where I could start?
I appreciate any help, no matter how big or small!
MODERATORS: I wasn't really sure if this was the right place to post this, so feel free to move it to where ever you find suiting if this isn't right.
I would love it if someone wanted to work on this together with me, but
PLEASE DONT BE A D*CK AND JUST STEAL THIS IDEA!
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Android myself. But in my understanding, I would suggest the best method to start coding this app is, to build a Service which is intended to do the network polling, and the translation for the App in Background. So I think you need a server which tracks your Messages, and serves the data for the app. U have to look at IPC (Inter Process Communication) to communicate with you service.
If you finished all these, then you can start to build an Android Activity to communicate with your user.

[Q] communication between android app and java application

Hi all,
Im new in this forum and just wanna ask for some help on where can i find a simple tutorial or a sample project of an android application that can communicate with a java application on a PC.
im thinking via wifi.. also i got some knowledge in java programming and right now im starting to learn more about android development.
some simple tutorial/samples like an android app where you have to type a message and it will show on the java application in the PC when the send button is clicked.

You probably want to check out Google App Engine and their Cloud Messaging and datastore features.
It would be better than WiFi or Bluetooth as you could be the other side of the world.....

Android app development help?

Hello, I am a computer science student and i need some help getting into android programming, i know a bit, but frankly it aint much.
I know C++, C#,Visual Basic,(I know C++ the most) and i am currently taking a class on Java, but I want to get into android programming too!(I made a game for android a while back using unity.)
I don't need a tutorial from the ground up.
I know how setup the environment, sdk, run, etc.
I want to learn how to work with layouts and make them look cool,
basic app functionality, work my way to internet connected apps, databases, apps with root, gestures, all that fun stuff.
I am just wondering if anyone would share any info or site that helped them.
I am not that much of a noob to programming but i am to the android sdk and a rookie with java.
if any mentor would step up or something i would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
btw if you're feeling bored check out my game!

Yes, i know its hard, i have a better version, i just haven't compiled and uploaded, i will soon.
I think best Website is always developer.android.com.
It hasn't only the API reference, but also Training section and much more.
Whenever I don't know sth I first visit this.
Regards
According to me you should go step wise step...Watch video tutorials on YT.
You can ping me for help.
Thanks
then go to java website and start learning java. Loads of tutorial stuff is on their website
java.com
then go and download the Android SDK in about 2-3 months when you've completed the above.

Please help,where should I start to learn programing for android?

Hello XDA forum members.I want to be able to make my own Android applications that could work via internet.I would like to create small and simple social network with some simple functions.I'm starting with learning of programing in C++ because I always wanted to know to program in that language.But first I would like to create an application that would be used in Android.So I'm willing to learn an additional language just so I could make this idea that I have and I'm sure that I will use this knowledge in future.
So my question is in what program do you code applications for Android smartphones,what is the best way to learn it and when I learn it I want to be able to make application like Badoo(social,meeting application) Badoo is the best example of what I'm trying to do because it is downloadable application that connects to their website.Because this idea that I have will have similar interface and similar features.Please help me with your advice so I don't loose time on mistakes and trying on different languages.Thank you in advance.
Try Aide
From google play it teaches you how you can create applications.
Press thanks

Hello
the native language to learn for Android app is java but you should have OO notions before, like with C# (very similar) or C++.

[Q] a few questions about webRTC on android

hi all,
I have a few questions about webRTC on android. I can say I'm new about android and webRTC but I can also say I made tooo much research about webRTC on android. But still have a few questions. (some of them because of I'm new, and some of them because of I'm okey but not fully)
I'm trying to make an android app which is going to communicate between web browser (first choice is chrome) and android device directly (p2p we can say). So I made too much research and I found webRTC is good for me. Do you advise me something other or is it okey you think? (also I am going to code a plugin for chrome).
Nearly every document says 'android is not directly support webRTC'. So I need something to provide me webRTC on android. What it is? Is it native android that I have to code? Is it native (NDK) library that I have to include my project? Or is it a java lib? Or should I go for cordova/crosswalk or sth like that? I researched all but didn't find something can help me. Yeah there are documents about it but not enough..
Some of documents says, I need chromium. But why and how? They show me lots of linux terminal commands and even there is no a line java or C or C++ code. Even some terminal commands and links that they give is not working.
I read/found/tried these things as a result of my research:
Apache cordova
Crosswalk
http://www.webrtc.org/
https://github.com/webrtc
http://webrtc.github.io/samples/
http://simonguest.com/2013/08/06/building-a-webrtc-client-for-android/
http://orcaman.blogspot.com.tr/2014/07/building-native-android-webrtc-source.html
https://github.com/pchab/ProjectRTC
https://github.com/pchab/AndroidRTC
in a nutshell I need help. Please give me your hand. Thank you. (because I'm really very helpless and tried to do my best)
Thank you.
Any idea? Any help?
