I am new to android programming and have a strong keen interest to learn it. I want to write a program that fetches the data from a website, segregates it and displays it on the screen of the phone. The data could be grocery list from a supermarket or sale items in a mall. Could you please suggest as to how I can go ahead and start this.

I'm looking for tips, tricks and resources on optimizing a website design for Android's browser.
I'm building an Android app and some of the functionality will be accessible through a web interface.
I needed to call a remote service. The service basically fetches data from the network. I am bind the connection once,and then I unbind the connection when the user is no more in that page. Everything works fine.Except that when I call the sa,e remote method for 17th time,it just does not call the service at all.It neither throws the DeadObjecti Exception. I have run out of ideas.Is there anything that I may be missing.

So I've been thinking of purchasing a smart phone, although I know virtually nothing of their capabilities.
I was curious if it was possible to write documents/scripts and upload them onto my website straight from my phone.
I essentially want a phone that could best emulate my linux (text-editing and ftp. Even better it has a terminal/Command-line feature), or a phone useful for web-developers. Would the Android be able to do this?
I have a listview that when you click on an item it will take you to a WebView that displays some static formatted text associated with that list entry.
I had it all working with a TextView but I wanted to be able to use HTML formatting for the text and figured the WebView was the way to go. Right now it is just supposed to display a generic link for testing purposes but when the viewContent intent starts it just goes to a black screen. I can go back and pick another entry and it also just shows the black screen.
I'm not sure what code you are going to want to see so here's the viewSection class file and the viewsection.xml layout.
viewSection.java:
CODE:..............
viewsection.xml:
CODE:..................
I have a layout with a TextView and a List, and in onCreate() I have the TextView request focus. On the G1 and emulator the screen comes up with the TextView having focus, and the on-screen keyboard will display when you tap on the TextView, but on the Galaxy apparently the on-screen keyboard is always displayed. Does anyone know why this would be so? And why would a phone without a keyboard act differently from a phone with a keyboard that's hidden--shouldn't they follow the same logic?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSuppose my application xyz stores a few contacts(just like in the address book/ telephone book). Other contacts are by-default stored in my Android address book. Suppose I receive a call on the handset with my app xyz running in the background. All I need is to fetch the Caller's name from the application xyz and display this name as" Akash Calling..." instead of "+91... calling..." assuming that caller's details are present in the application say, his name and none of his details in the actual address book. Is this feasible.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow do you stream certain bits of information from a website. From what I understand webview launches a web page, but what if I want to only stream a paragraph that was published on a site. Example: Yahoo! Fantasy Football. Updates on players and the news feed about them.This is obviously a lot more complicated than my question. I would be interested in a tutorial that could walk me through this. Does this also take programming on the server side to send this out?

I am interested in obtaining information from my band's Joomla website and placing it into an Android application. At the moment I'd like to get News articles posted and potentially other information that I create on the site. I was thinking of doing this by setting up RSS feeds for the website. Would it be better to somehow access the data directly by connecting to the database? I don't know PHP so I can't develop a webservice to access the content. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking into developing an App that will convert a website into more readable data for an android app. I am at university and have an online notice board which can be viewed on the web but if possible I would like to transfer this into an app on android to make it more easy to read on mobile devices.
What I thinking is that the app would go to the website where the notice board is held and read in the html code to display each notice in a list adapter view. Each notice is within its own div so I assume I could use that to split each notice up into its own button on the list adapter view. Is this possible and if so how I can go about doing this. I have tried google for an answer but I have not yet found a solution to this problem.

Next the screen was blank. I also tried the camcorder and the screen was also blank. I've done many resets/pulling the battery out and I still have no luck. Any ideas as to what is causing my camera to not work at all? The only way to exit out of the blank screen is to press the 'Home' button on the phone.
