Now I am doing an application to save webpages for offline reading. If our application is switched on then the pages we visited will be saved and we can open those pages in offline mode. Please provide the idea that how we can work on the application. Help me friends.
For downloading and saving a website, you could use HTTPUrlConnection. The exception handling of this class will help you to control your application so you know when there is no internet connection.
For displaying a web site WebView is what you are searching for.

I need help creating an app that logs into a website and reads some data off the website so I can easily view it within the app.
What I need to be read from website
I am trying to write an app that interacts with a website. However this website is only available to be used in the IE browser. Would I be able to still interact with it in the android application. Maybe using HttpRequest?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
I wish to develop a mobile App that simply makes use of the C2K service for schools website. It has an initial ASPX login page and once logged in, it goes to a personal index.aspx homepage.
What would be the best way to go about this using Visual Studio? I have looked at Apache Cordova but I am not sure about it. Advice on which package to use and what approach I should take to transform this website into an App would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think Cordova in Visual Studio should meet your requirement, you can simply create a blank project index.html and redirect this html to the, e.g. http://www.example.com/login.aspx
After compile, you can run your existing web inside the app.
However, the "LOOKING" of the web site will be changed, since the screen of the phone may be too small to display the content of the entire original web site, you may need to change the appearance of your original web site, otherwise the users may need to zoom-in zoom-out all the time when they browse the web site inside the phone app.
I am beginner in Android development and I am trying to make an app that will simply display the posts on the following website http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/lakelandsparkms/. I need to know how can I display the data from the web into my android app. An example would be appreciated.
The easiest way to display posts into an Android application will be to use JSON data on the web, and read it into a Master Detail Android application.
On the website side, getting the data to display in JSON seems to be the most difficult part of your problem. It would be easy if it was a Wordpress site, as there are plugins that will do this for you.
On the application side, getting the data and parsing it into a master detail flow is a fairly trivial task.
Something like this tutorial may help: http://www.technotalkative.com/android-json-parsing/ or this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TulTqQM0Cc
You can make a Json request and show data with android views. Or you can download the full or partial page and show it directly in a webview.
Use Jsoup if you're trying to scrape the webpage for data and display it in a UI.
i have a wordpress blog hosted over my personal shared hosting.Now i want to develop an android app for that blog so the users can use the mobile app to see what i am writing on my blog.
Like for example you can take mashable.com android app.
so basically i have experience in programming android aap but i am just asking this so i can code it in a better way.
i have 3 idea to do this now:
1.Use rss feed of my blog and parse it and display the contents but it has a issue that rss only display most latest contents.So whether i need to store the feed contents timely on android device so a user can view the previous most content also.
But i think it's not a good idea because it will unnecessarily increase the size of database and make diff copies on every device.
2.Just simply use complete java code to pull data from my web mysql database as per the user request and just display it over the screen without storing it locally on android device.
3.Develop some sort of API solution on my web server then send the data in json or xml format so i can use it on my android device(via java) without bothering to connecting to mysql server as a core part because that part already done by on web server and my api already sending data in required format.
So these are 3 idea i have now.So please suggest me a better one form these three or you can give any other idea.
I am asking this question because previously i never programmed this sort of mobile aap where i need to pull the data from remote server.
-Thanks
