I am a student and currently doing an android app development project revolving around advertisement. My app will get all of the information contained inside the ads and show it to the user. For the most part, I have figured it out. Only the first part I have been struggling with. Which is, how do I get the ads data from android apps? Can I just use web scrapping on all of the android apps? Is there any limitation to do web scraping on certain applications? Can someone explain to me what method or ways to get the information from the ads?
You guys can see all of the information I tell at my Quora profile,

I am thinking of developing an app and I don't know which service I should use for my data to run to. I tried on using Amazon Web Services but they don't offer any support for free users. And I am just a teenager who wants to develop my skills, I don't have any source of income at all. I am hoping some recommendations or help from here. Some ideas on what tools I should use.
My app is both web and I'll be making mobile app version of it and I am having a hard time about how would I make those two work from the same something like server. It's like, facebook website and the facebook app, it has only one source of data.
I hope anyone can help me...
So, I'm reading this android game programming book, which is great, and I was wondering about how to implement the database of a social game.
Let me take a dummy example that fits the example purpose: there is a group of people playing a game, where everyday there is a question (generated by the app), and the first user to answer it wins.
So, basic questions: when someone answer the question, how the others players will know?
I imagine that when the winner answer the question, this would be stored in a database (the cloud?) and when the others users log into the game, the app would connect to the clound, synchronize all users update and display a message saying that there is a winner already for that question.
Is that in anyway correct? I have a fair/medium experience in developing in Android, but never worked much with storage/internet connection.
There is any specific API to deal with this task?
P.S. I'm aware of SharedPreferences, but I'm quite sure that's not I'm looking for. My main question is how to share data over the internet/users using and Android app.
Thanks
Android provide Game Services for this.
I this APIs https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/realtimeMultiplayer are what you are looking for
Otherwise you may think to develop your own server logic for instance via Google App Engine
Hi I am new to this topic so maybe this is noob question but I couldn't find anything relevant on the web so I am asking here.
I want to make application that adds some more interesting rich information into another app not related to my app.
That is, imagine that my app would overlay some sports betting app from one betting company with odds from companies around the world and compare them with original data in app which i can get(?)
Is this even possible?
Yes. First of all you could use StandOut library to overlay any app you want. And second thing you could use is info about running apps on device.
You cannot access information of running app directly. But still you have some hack to access other app resources via creating context of other app installed on your device. Maybe this information will help.
I have a survey on my website that I'd like to deliver to my Android app users (like demographics and such). I'm wondering what the best way to do this is - do you think that using a WebView to just display the survey webpage would work since they'd need to have internet to get the survey questions anyway? Or is it a better idea to pass the survey questions to the app, create a native view and then send the results back to my Rails server?
From this thread it sounds like it's pretty easy to do one question - Embedding Survey In Mobile Apps
But my survey is around 10 questions, so mainly I'm wondering about app performance/feel. Especially in poor internet connection scenarios.
I'm developing an app for a company that will include profiles of some clients. The company wants the clients to be able to update information on their profile from the company's website through a secure log-in. I want to do this in a way that the content could be updated without the application users needing to update the .APK.
I'm relatively new to Android development and I'm not quite sure how to do this. Would love the simplest way of doing this. If simple isn't the best way to go about it, I'm open to other suggestions.
Thank you.
The website should have a webservice backend.
Your Android app needs to implement the protocol for that
webservice.
See for example this link http://fahmirahman.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/connection-between-php-server-and-android-client-using-http-and-json/ for a tutorial or search for others.
