connect, send, and display data in Android via App Inventor
I have a huge demand for people who want an application to connect to Uniquez from their Android devices.
I want to build an application to connect to my PHP and MySQL ShoutBox to send and receive information. First we need the user to be-able to login to the website. I am sure once I know how to do this I could use these techniques to send and receive shouts.
I do have access to Google's App Inventor and I have also downloaded and taken a quick peek at Eclipse. It seems App Inventor is a lot easier to use than Eclipse.
It all seems a little daunting and very complicated/
I do have knowledge in PHP and some JavaScript that could help me progress my knowledge.
Please could someone demonstrate how this could be done?
I want to learn this is why I am asking for help and not asking some one to do this for me. I do need examples and a lot of help as I am totally new to building applications for the Android platform.
I am sorry I don't have any source code to go off right now as this is something I want to start building.
If you can do this in App Inventor this would be amazing. If not I will learn the hard way! All information will be great full and I really am enthusiastic about completing my task.
