How do I create a home screen like the one facebook and instagram uses, where a user can post pictures and content which are placed on the home screen for other users to see and like and comment on using java.
it seems like you need an answer, so i'll try to give you one...
For that you have to learn basic android components such as viewPager, viewPagerAdaper as well as tablayout, coordinatorLayout, and many others stuff (recyclerView, jetpack libs such as Paging, Navigation component and more) and tech such as firebase (auth, db, cloud function....), google cloud or AWS.
As you can see it’s a whole journey
But you can start it with YouTube... i recomand you coding with mitch (he has a tutorial series where he builds an Instagram clone) or coding in flow.
About books i don’t really have one in mind but I hope this little answer helped.
Have a good day

How do you show the user, how to use the app. Is there a tool or something which allows the user to learn how to use it, like a tutorial.
Or what would you do?
By the way, in my app, the user just needs to understand which button needs to be clicked. Basically, he must pick the correct button according to the background color.
To show or introduce your app to the user is called as show casing your app/views(we can say aka tutorial).
You can make your own showcasing animations but there are some libraries for that purpose
ShowCaseView
spotlight(my favourite one)
You can easily implement that by reading some more stuff about showcasing app or views

I am building a mobile app to allow for real time messaging, befriending users, creating groups to both chat and share images with, as well as creating events that users can invite one another to.
In researching I came across Firebase, and while there are major benefits, it perhaps may be overkill for my application and it appears it is for real-time collaboration, ie. pair programming, real-time massively multi-player gaming and related.
For the app I defined is Firebase overkill?
I think that seems like a perfect example of an app that would use firebase. I don't think it's overkill at all. If you want to build a simple app that has real-time functionality, firebase is the perfect solution.
That said, images can be tricky in firebase right now (since you'll probably want to use some other cloud storage, here is the stack overflow that discusses this: How to store and view images on firebase?), but I still think it's the right option for what you have described.

I'm planning on making an app that can access posts from a WordPress blog and display them. I would start with iOS but I could use cross-platform frameworks too. I'm looking for something more programming-oriented instead of a drag and drop interface so that I can have extensive options for further development. What is the best code-based way to display blog posts from a WordPress site? I'm aiming towards something similar to the CNET app. Does anyone know how they made theirs?
I would just install a theme that is responsive, so that it's mobile friendly. By the way you asked the question, this sounds pretty ambitious. However, if you want to get your feet wet, consider looking into PhoneGap / Cordova perhaps.

I would like to create a floating app - an app that floats/hovers over other apps. Something along the lines of what the good folks at Floating Apps have achieved. But i am lost as to where to begin with such an effort.
I understand the conventional way of creating an app but i am at a loss thinking about how to get started on creating a floating calculator.
Can anyone point me in the right direction or get me started? Appreciate your inputs. Thanks.
While I don't know how your particular example works, if you've been paying attention to various UI/UX experiences on Android you might have heard about Facebook Chat Heads which has a similar float over existing app feel.
You may want to start here for your investigation:
What APIs in Android is Facebook using to create Chat Heads?

I am trying to build an online application for movie management. I want the application to be an online one, could any have inputs as to how to build it, as in currently i am downloading each of the dynamic content and loading the layouts which is highly inefficient. Could anyone suggest a better procedure to make an online application and guide for the same.

That link will show you how to make a Google app engine project. The easiest way to use an online database with android. You can post, and get with very little code. What you do with the data you get back is up to you... Throw it into list views, text views, fragments, etc. But yes this is the best place to start as you need an online database or a social network would not work at all. I suggest you do the above totural and then come back with some more questions. Hope this helps!
