i want to built an application, using the netbeans mobile application software(ME), which gets data from a website and then display it on the screen may be in a text box.
Maybe you should check out some of the tutorials on this site:

Well, I've tried to do some researches before creating a question but only a little has been found.
Basically, I have got a Spring-based web application. Apparently, you can navigate through web application using HTTP requests and URLs. If you want to edit a user you do a GET request /users/edit/{id} and a new page appears. Then you make some changes to the user and do a POST request /users/edit/{id} and let's say the main page appears.
So, now I need to create a desktop application which can do the same things.
Do I need to rewrite the whole app to port it on the desktop? Is it possible somehow to do sort of HTTP requests from the desktop app to the server, then get a response and process it? Or perhaps there is a proper way to do it?
I feel like it's a big topic but I only need you to point me in the right direction as I'm lacking experience in creating both desktop and web applications together (I'd say, I have never ported app from web to desktop and vice verse).
Earlier I created a few apps using JavaFX and I want to use it again as my GUI platform for the desktop app.
You can go for a solution like, Electron.
It's a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It uses Chromium and Node.js. You can develop your desktop GUI applications using front and back end components originally developed for your web application.
I'm just pointing you a way. You can look in to this solution and it's also open-source.
If you were about to develop the frontend from scratch I'd recommend you to use something like Ionic Framework where in the latest beta 4 allows you to write once run everywhere (web, PWA, desktop with Electron, and build native build for iOS and Android).
Basically Ionic is an Angular 7 library/superset that allows you to create mobile apps based on a webview. This webview can be embedded and run on any device in a native way.
Even though the same codebase can be run on multiple devices you can customise the look and feel on each platform and access through Cordova, Electron or Capacitor the native device capabilities and hardware.
If you don't want to rewrite the web client, you can use any desktop framework with the preferred language you want. Any modern language/framework will allow you to make HTTP requests against your backend and get the data through your API.
Honestly, nowadays I'd day that JavaFX is not the best option out there and I'd recommend you to go through the web-based approach.
Good luck!
I am a web developer, recently i have developed a android app using cordova.
But my application is slow, so i deside to developed the same app using andoid no native code. But the challenge is making same gui. i am new in android.
So my question is that what tools i use for gui design, and is there any framework like bootstrap? thanks in advance.
Maybe this might help: http://www.androidbootstrap.com/

Android app is also a browser app designed in xml, what kind of app you want to build if its an offline app you have design in xml but if it's online app (ex: playstore) you can use WebView it gives you a browser(with your webpage address hard coded in it) within an app and there you can open your mobile website.
Just like other apps do flipcart, jstdial, amazon etc.
Tools: Android Studio is best but for Start download Eclipse Atd bundle its comparatively light later you can switch to Android Studio.
Unfortunately there is no
and
www.androidbootstrap.com/
You have to do all your design in xml resource, where you can use tags like - style, selector, layer-list, item, shape etc. And these resources have to be controlled dynamically using java (in activity).
In Developers documentation of android (provided by Google) you will find details Style elements
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 just started using google app engine to develop a web application and I'm a little lost on how to deal with events sent from buttons properly.
For some reason, when I try to use a JButton on my application I get this error.
"javax.swing.JButton is not supported by Google App Engine's Java runtime environment"
the only way I managed to get an on_click event so far was to use an html button and use a "post" or "get" requests.
So, is their a tutorial somewhere to help me understand better how to use buttons and other components in my application?
I think you have a deep misunderstanding of what Google AppEngine does. You deploy your code to AppEngine, and it runs on Google's servers. It generally interacts with users in the form of HTTP requests. A user enters a URL, and the Java code might send back some HTML and javascript.
A JButton is a Java Swing component, which is used when developing Java software to run on an end user's machine. Your AppEngine app is not going to run on an end user's machine. You are seeing that error message, because GAE has a whitelist of allowed classes from the JRE.
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/jrewhitelist
It's possible you may be thinking of Google Web Toolkit(GWT). GWT allows you to write the client/server of a web application in Java, and then cross-compile the client into javascript. This is separate from AppEngine. Although you can develop a GWT application, and deploy it on AppEngine.
