I almost finished my RESTful API.
I created the API with PHP and using SLIM Framework.
And for the last step, I should consume the RESTful API that I've created before on Android application.
I've some question to ask.
Is it possible to use the RESTful API that I made with SLIM and PHP in Android Application ?
If the answer is 'YES', is there a framework or library can be used ?
Thanks before :)
You might want to take one of:
Android Async HTTP
Spring
Volley
RESTDroid
RoboSpice
Retrofit
Httpzoid see this answer
(Take a look at the original answer where I took most of the list from)
Yes, is possible. RESTful API is the same regardless of the language used. Just make sure that's work correctly using HTTP methods. Check this tutorial http://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-rest-android/
I recomend use https://github.com/loopj/android-async-http
For me it's best android rest client library

My question is very concise. I have an API from RapidApi and I am looking to make a interactive Web Application. How can I integrate the API into Java in order to get access to all the methods that the API provides? Thank you.
The API will most probably be a REST API. Have a look at https://restfulapi.net/ for background info.
The process of interacting with a REST API is called "consuming" the API.
Basically you just launch a HTTP request to the API, and the result is a JSON data structure.
The details of the HTTP Requests (URL, HTTP methods to use, and data to send), and the JSON return format are documented by the API.
Although it can be done without using any specific framework, it is probably easier with a framework like Spring.
If you know the basic concepts of Spring you could follow one of their guides about this topic: https://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-rest/

I'm working on a prototype app to showcase an idea of mine -- so it need not be fully secure or gold standard, just needs to get the job done
I am wondering what the simplest option is to retrieve & parse, as well as publish JSON files from/to my Github repository. I am unsure which would be the easiest to implement. Right now, I see a few choices, but I am sure there are others you guys know of:
Using a Service class, which utilizes the Handler, AsyncTask, and HttpURLConnection classes (I've done a tutorial on Barry Burd's Android Application Development All-in-One For Dummies, 2nd Edition in which I made a weather app that utilized a service). I am still somewhat iffy with this.
A much easier, straightforward usage of HttpUrlConnection in this answer. I understand this fully.
A more complicated version in the developer docs. I do not really get this implementation either.
Also, the process can't freeze up the UI.
There is some cleaner and better approaches. You can use lots of libraries for this purpose.
Volley
Retrofit
These two are some of best libraries for calling webservise apis and I recommend Retrofit because it keeps your codes more clean and reusable.

there seems to be many ways to access a REST web service. but different documentation out there states they all have problems and now i am confused what to use.
Here are our options:
HTTPClient - from apache, but deprecated. However Apache does provide some alternative
HttpURLConnection - has bugs in it.
AndroidHttpClient - includes the workaround for a major bug in HttpURLConnection
I really don’t know which one to use from the list above. Is there one which I am missing that I should be using
to access a REST web service ?
Ideally, to access a REST Web service, you use a higher-level library, like Retrofit, that handles more of the work for you.
Otherwise, Google's official recommendation is to use HttpURLConnection.

I'm new to creating a web application with a Java back-end and a JavaScript, HTML 5 front-end. How do I pass content between the two?
You are looking for a web framework. These will integrate all three technologies you mention into a server and fully functioning webapp. You will also need to be working with JavaEE.
I recommend Jetty or Play
Look up some tutorials on how to get started but basically these frameworks will create the server backend that launches on a port and can host different sockets etc... and since theyre in Java the backend code can literally be written anywhere in the project...front end is easy too, you'll see how it works once you work through your first tutorial with them :)
Java EE is what you need indeed.
on a back end you add end points, and on front end you hit those end points w/ ajax

I am new to RESTful web services. so please can anyone guide me how to create one with both client and server using OAuth 1.0.
if possible, please give me some example.
You need to learn them in steps and then integrate. Here are couple of links to help you with that:
Learn how to write RESTful webservice using jersey, very simple tutorial:
http://www.mkyong.com/webservices/jax-rs/jersey-hello-world-example/
Learn how to integrate OAuth with jersey :
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/Jersey/OAuth
Final step : You assembling the knowledge and coming up with RESTful webservice using jersey with OAuth.
While coding it if you get stuck or see horrible exceptions, come back and post them here. You will surely get help when you show the right attitude. Good luck!
