I am a beginner and have been coding in Kotlin for Android.
I need to integrate Stripe Connect into my app now but feel lost. When going through the Android documentation in Stripe, it mentions lines of code in curl, or sometimes in Ruby/Python/Php/Node/Go.
I don't know any of these. Do I need to learn another language to integrate Stripe? Is there something I'm missing? I get stuck at these parts as I don't know how to continue.
This is the part of the documentation I'm trying to read through.
THe documention also recommends that I create this Customer at the same time you create your user on your own backend but doesn't show how to.
Any guidance would be appreciated. It seems to be good documentation if you already know what you're doing but as a beginner I'm lost.

I know couple of things like socket.io is a library which can be used to develop a chat application but apart from this what else is required?
What technologies are required to build a fully featured android chat app?
What is alternative of Socket.io for an android app?
You need to do a bit of research yourself on this and come back with any specific technical questions you have. You're getting down voted because your question is too general.
If you get stuck somewhere, make a new question asking for help on that particular problem. For example, if you couldn't get any response from the Node.js server in your Android app, post a question "No response from Node.js server using Socket.io" and give details. You'll get help in no time.
Search for "making a chat app android" and that should get you started.
I want to make an app that displays the information from play developer console in an easy to read way.
What procedure would be best to use to get an html file that i can scrape the info out of?
Is there a library that can simplify this proccess?
I'm currently trying to do this on a php website I'm developing. So far, I've managed to authenticate through the service, get JSON responses of various statistics, and I'm currently trying to parse them.
If you need some help/guidelines, don't hesitate to ask me a few questions, I'd be glad to help. (I've been inspired by the Andlytics android app github project, in order to do this)
I know you want to do this with Android, but the mains steps are the same. I really advice that you check how Andlytics does it.
Also, I can confirm that there is no library available yet, I've been searching for a while before trying to do my own thing.
Never built an app before.
Downloaded & installed SDK & Eclipse.
For my 'learning experience' I would like to build an app for my Galaxy S II (4.0.4) that will take me to a web site and then log me in, eg: my Gmail Account or my Voip.ms Account
Can someone point me to a tutorial or suggest how I should start such an app?
Is this too complicated to begin with?
Personally, I think this is way too complicated to start as a learner. You may end up spending a lot more time in debugging some code which does not work because of some silly stuff rather than "learning" how to code Android.
I started with a simple app that has few screens, stores some info in local SQLite DB and sends some across to an remote SQL Server over internet. I managed to complete this in 2 weeks and got quite a good hold on Android basics. Now I am working on a much complex app and am not getting stuck in fundamental issues.
Developer.android.com offers some good app examples and tutorials and is the first go-to location when you want to see how to do something Android-related.
As for what you want to do, it will really depend on the website. Going to the website in question, searching for a developer section is the way to go.
There they will explain which API they offer to devs. OAuth + REST are widely adopted but there is no universal solution, it really depends on the website.
A final note : embedding a webpage in an Android app is a very bad idea from an user-experience perspective, Using an API to offer a native app will always result in a better experience.
This is my website: http://www.stustu.co.uk..
I want to create an app that can pull down the listings from this website and display the entries in the form I want; enable users to manage their online accounts conveniently within the app; post new entries. Basically, a similar app to Amazon and eBay.
But I've no clue about how to query the information from the website in the app...
The website itself is WordPress based (quite simple, therefore), and my initial thought was to find some API from WordPress. I did find the official WordPress app, which comes with the source code, but it helps little as its code mainly deals with blogging.
So here's my question:
What are the normal ways a web developer would use on the server side to achieve my aim?
Is that achievable for WordPress?
If not, are there workarounds?
I'm a new self-taught developer, sorry that the question is a bit broad.
The most common approach when you're trying to communicate between an app and a website is to use a web service. Popular architectures include using REST or SOAP to communicate with your server.
This video will teach you how to use REST interface properly on your Android application, while in this link you will find that using SOAP has its disadvantages over REST especially on Android(or mobile in general).
I personally recommend using REST APIs with responses in JSON format for your web service. Twitter did the right thing with their own rest api, and you can structure yours similarly.
Other links you will be finding useful as you develop your application:
google-gson
jackson JSON

Sorry about not answering your question about Wordpress, as I never had the opportunity to use it. For my apology, have this potato.
How much experience do you have with android? If you have none you should go find the getting started tutorials on the developer site and complete a few of them to familiarize your self with the structure of an android application before you attempt something like this.
The next thing to consider is: does your site look and act nicely on mobile? If so do you want your application to simply be a dedicated browser that pulls up your site? Or do you want to create the entire application natively? In the latter case you'll have to build (or find) some sort of APIs that allow you to tie in to the functionality of your site from within the java in the application.
My experience is mostly on Android so I cannot suggest any strategies or examples for how you'd go about setting up your APIs. But I do know if you attempt to build something that sophisticated natively on android with little experience you'll likely get frustrated early.
I am trying to integrate payment gateway in my android app.
Purpose of app is to buy online e books.
Site is already Developed and it is using EBS service for payment.
To be specific App is designed for Asian countries only.
Can anyone help me regarding this?
Do i need to simply call my site URL for this or it is not a practical approach.
Any help would make work my simpler as i am not familiar with this stuff.
Please help me if you have experience with it but please do not just copy paste links as i have gone through many sites for that.
Here, EBS support you can find the API that EBS provides. There is no specific API currently available for android. I think you should have to implement it at your server side and make a call with web services.
