I have planned to build an Android app for my final year project, that will help people in find places to visit, top places in an area when they search for one, etc
And when they will click on that place it will give a small summary about it and also the restaurant, movie theater, cafes, etc in that place.
So what all things I'll be requiring for this i have some knowledge about core java and gui part of it,
But never tried android so a bit confused where to start. Thanks in advance.
As it really is an question that's off topic and isn't really a question, I will try to simply aim you in the right direction.
First of all you need to search for an API service that will give you the information you want (like places near you, try foursquare or something similar). As I never worked with that API I don't exactly know what information's it needs and what information's you will receive from it, but firstly try reading their documentation.
Once you get the data you will have to display it somewhere/somehow but as I saw you have some GUI knowledge, however this wont be the hard part. This is your preference and imagination by how you do it and there are many online tutorials on how to use the items (ex. lists, alert dialog...)
Hope this helps and puts you to the right start. In the near future try asking more narrow and pointed questions and read the documentation on how to post one.
Happy coding and learning.

I am new to android studio and would like to make an app that is similar to Goodreads. Can someone outline the key components of making an app like this. It would also be great if I could get some kind of template that I can use. I imagine some of amount of the user information will be kept on the device while some of the other larger sets of information will be kept on a database. What would the code connecting these two parts look like and what other important parts have I missed. Thanks in advance.
Android is a big world and doesn't exist an easy way, I mean all need time to be good at something, but well is not impossible I recommend you start with the Udacity courses
Basic Level:
Developing Android Apps by Google
Android Basics: Data Storage
Android Basics: Multiscreen Apps
Android Basics: Networking
and latter star to flow important people on android world
Android expert even follow in twitter
after that, you have a basic knowledge you can start on other courses https://caster.io/ is a good choice for learn MVP MVVM and other things
also study general programming and Software Engineering : Desing Parrents, Clean Code , Clean Arquiecture, SOLID principles, Versions systems like a Git.
well that my advice for you, good luck and never stop to learn!

I need to design a testing system which would not allow to use google. I mean that, theoretically, the user still can do it, but the purpose is to hinder this as much as possible.
I have an idea, but I don't know how good it is. I want the question in the database to be a simple text. And when we need to load it to the test, we convert it into a picture with a watermark. But the problem is that, theoretically, it still can be recognized. Google is able to convert the text on the image into the text and then search it as a text. Google is also able to recognize images despite some hue differences on them. Does anybody have proposals on that score? What would you do?
just use robots exclusion headers on the page to tell google not to store your page. or even robots.txt
As you say if it's human-readable, google will read it. Google has millions of slaves doing OCR for them (via Re-Captcha). but if you tell google to leave your site alone, it will.

So I am new to Android Programming but I absolutely love it. Luckily, I already know java (: There are still some things that confuse me such as fragments or what not. I want to write an SAT app. can anyone give me some directional guidance on where to start? I would really really appreciate it. Im not sure if each card should become it's own fragment? Anything would help such as how to store the words/definitions. Or if you could give me some topics to research that would aid my app making, i would appreciate it !! Tips on flashcard making in general are welcome too. THANK YOU~
I personally think it depends on what type of phone/ screen size you are targeting. If you would like to target also larger screen ones like tablet then fragments will be the right way to go. With fragments you can add and remove certain view from the large screen.
Some guide for fragment that i found quite useful myself:

This is also one of my fav site for android tutorials:

Anyway, welcome to android world! :)
Hope that helps

I want to develop a simple way to generate a flowchart for websites.
Here is why I would need something like that:
At first one draws a flowchart in < insert-program-here > and exports it as a xml-file.
This xml-file shall be imported and unmarshalled by another program, which in this case is a Java-application which is nothing more than a graphical interface which a user can use to find his/her way to a specific solution by following the flowchart.
I hope I got it right so far..
Does anybody know a simple program that would export a flowchart as a xml-file so I can use it as mentioned above? Or is there another way that is more comfortable to accomplish my needs?
Thanks for any help!
Best regards.
Personally I would recommend yEd because I have had good experiences with it. It uses the XML Format GraphML by default so your users will not have to use an export-Function but can use the files produced when saving their work.
But I don't think one can answer your question with a simple "I recommend program X." because nobody knows what you really need. Maybe one program does not give you all features you want to have for your flowcharts. Maybe others are not cheap enough.
I think you will have to find the right one by yourself. To determine which program can do it for you could check several drawing applications. A list of flowcharting programs can be found in this question. If that is not enough you may use google to find more.

I want to implement a simple wiki. Most probably will be using Java on Google app engine. I have been searching around for sample design or how others have implemented it, what issues they faced, how they solved it etc. But most search queries turned out to be useless as Google gave links to wikis discussing about programming instead of programming sites that discuss about wikis. Can anyone here direct me?
I found this link: http://everything2.com/?node_id=1683000 but honestly couldn't make head or tail out of it.
There's a discussion about Wiki design here (on this site):
Designing a Wiki, design considerations and feedback
Do you actually NEED to design your own wiki? Mediawiki is quite good and should have everything you need. Plus the installation instructions will get you running in 10-15 minutes.
Don't mean to question your motives, but if it's good enough for Wikipedia it's quite possibly good enough for you.
Here's a list of open source wikis written in Java - and here's another.
Depending on your needs it may be easier to customize one of the solutions available. For this task I found very useful checking wikimatrix.
