I'm wondering about develop Android and deskopt apps using Web-based languages for the GUI.
I mean, tool like Adobe Air/PhoneGap use HTML and CSS for the GUI and Javascript for the service-side.
Can I use Java for service-side and HTML+CSS for the GUI?
I experienced with develop Android and desktop app using Java (Eclipse) and Adobe Air for desktop app using HTML+CSS. Is there a way/tool to put together all these?
The focus is: Java for service-side, HTML+CSS for GUI, target: Android/desktop app.
Thank you
Yes, you can use Java for server-side and HTML+CSS for client-side.

I am planning to develop a mobile app using HTML CSS and javascript.i plan on storing data in a local file instead of a database.how can I develop this? any ideas? The app will run in the browser of the mobile device. (this eliminates login)
The concept of the project is good.ive also designed the UI.
I think you're talking about making a website with a javascript app in it. Mobile apps are made with swift for IOS and android apps are made in java or c++.
There are programs that will take your website and put it inside an application container (mostly for android) but these programs are not recommended.
I would recommend learning swift or Java or c++ and make an app or using your html/css/javascript knowledge to make a web application.
Okay, so I'm currently looking to see if this is doable so I can hire a programmer. Can I implement let's say a messenger app that is on Android and iPhone just like kik messenger on a website, so the app would be available on the PC online too. If so what language(s) would complete this task? Thank you.
This is not possible using native Android/iOS languages.
These languages are designed to work on mobile devices, not on the web. This means you cannot just embed the source code of a mobile application into a web page.
You can however create a a web version of your application (depending on the complexity of the app). For example: you could create a web version of the mobile app using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You could also (although slightly dated) create a Flash application and embed it in the browser.
Web apps are becoming more and more common with the rise of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. I recommend this book on building web apps: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-Web-Applications-HTML5-JavaScript/dp/1430240806
I am writing a Java program for my workplace, to help catalog pricing with several parameters involved. The current program implements JComboBox, along with other Container objects.
I have realized that our workstation will not run a Java program through Windows due to protective limitations, so I am hoping to transition to Google App Engine, since we can load websites much more freely.
The problem I have run into is that JComboBox doesn't run through Google App Engine. In fact, none of the Containers I was using will work in Google App Engine. The tutorials on Google Developers haven't provided the information I need.
Where can I find information on what objects I can use in Google App Engine to simulate a GUI with pop-up menus and buttons?
(I am using the Google Plugin for Eclipse.)
Maybe this link will help you, it lists all compatible frameworks: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/WillItPlayInJava
For a higly responsive GUI, I suggest you take a look at the GWT: http://www.gwtproject.org/examples.html
In a nutshell: GWT allows you to write web applications with Java. Some/all of the Java is converted into JavaScript for better usability.
If you want to use Google App Engine (GAE) you can either use GWT for a standard GUI or a Java Webframework like Vaadin or JSF.
I need suggestions regarding language I can use to develop an application that excels aesthetically and functionally. As I am expecting html5 to be on top of the preference for many people the what is recommended API for developing html5 "desktop" application.
Thanks
There is another topic about programming Desktop Applications with web-devel languages.
How to develop Desktop Apps using HTML/CSS/JavaScript?.
The choice is completely upto you. Because everything has some ups and downs. But if you are very much interested in developing using HTML5 and JavaScript. There are lot of sdk's available. Tidesdk and Appjs will minimize the work load for you.
Please go through these links.

How to develop Desktop Apps using HTML/CSS/JavaScript?
I developed an application in Android. Now i want develop same application for Desktop using Java. Is there any tools or procedure to convert existing Android app code to Java Desktop app.
Thanks in advance.
Android application will definitely not work on desktop computers out of the box, unless using an emulator. However, as specified by Android documentation:
Android platform using the Java programming language
Android uses Java. That means any java code that is well encapsulated in a domain layer independent from the android UI can be reused as part of a java desktop application.
If the application is well designed and GUI well separated from domain and other layers, this will boil down to only converting android UI elements (eventually along with a presentation layer) into java desktop components (SWING...)
