I'm a beginner, and I need to find a way to connect a local server to an android app. I hope you can provide me with a book to teach me hoe to do it. I have searched all over google, but couldn't find any. Thanks in advance.
No offense, but you're bad looking. First of all, do not forget, those development under the android goes for Java.
This way you can approach this article.
But this question shows a poor level of your knowledge. You should go through a couple of courses java and android.
Please learn basic skills. Tutorials "step by step" may leave a gap in your knowledge.

I'm working on this project, i dont have a good experience in programming with android studio. I have tried to look in google or youtube for helps but no luck.
Where can I find some good tutorials to help me to understand what I need to do in my application to read data from the raspberry server( like reading temperature) or sending commandes to the server (like switch on/off led).
Anyone can help me out?
You can take a look at OpenHab. It is an open source project with quite a few tutorial and good community support.

I want to develop an app which I stream basic text information about sports. First of all I believe I need a server which my users connect to see my stream as soon as something new is published. But I don't have an idea about how to build something like that. I did some search on web to find lessons or answers but I wasn't able to find anything useful. If it's true that I need a server, is Java language good to code server's program? Because I only know a little bit of Java.
And I want my app to have a monthly fee. I'm completely new to programming but I guess I need a database to keep track of my user information. Do I have to build my own user membership system - which people register with their e-mails etc- for all this? Is it hard to do that? And again I don't have any source of information about this one too.
I'm lost at this point. I don't know what to search to get some answers. So I'm asking you guys. What do I need to build an app with monthly fee that streams live information? I'm not expecting a full answer here but at least I believe you guys can tell me where to look for answers. Thanks.
While I agree the question is very vague and open (we could write a thesis on the topic in question and everyone will have their own way to complete) my suggestion would be to research the following:
Java - read as much as you can about the language and ensure that you are happy with (or know where you can get access to good helpers) the syntax (you mention that you know a little about Java so that is a good start).
Android programming in general. Look up the Activity lifecycle (The Android documentation is good, read as much as you can, follow the examples and try out the tutorials! https://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/index.html)
Read up on Firebase; this should make the server side a little simpler (although I have only a parsing knowledge (i.e., none) of Firebase, it looks like it will be a good start). Again walk through the examples / tutorials; do the Hello World and then pull it apart to see if you can figure out how it is holding together.
Then when you have questions (which you will, we all do!) come back and I know that you will get some great help!
Once you have a few applications under your belt (personal 'play' apps) then and only then would I consider looking at the Google Play API (https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/).
Hope this gets you on the starting grid at least! Good luck!

I'am new to Android development. I know that I need to learn a lot about this thesis topic that we proposed. Can somebody help me on how can i develop this kind of application? I need to know what algorithms should i use to make the application better. Thanks for your help guys. :)
I guess that this will be a good place to start your search

i have been using session handler with php.. now i happen to use this with android but i find it really difficult because i am new to android development. Can anyone give their opinion in android session handling. I searched google but could not find right page to hook up. So any useful page is also useful. I know this is not a place to ask such question because here we need a code to ask you.But i couldnot find a better place to ask this question because i trust www.stackoverflow.com. Considering this if you could help me, I would be very greatful.
Thank you.
Recently I was asked if I could help someone to get quick-started to android programming.
What would you suggest to tell this person?
Would you explain everything by hand or just refer to external links?
Which ressources would you recommend?
This whole issue should not take too much time...assuming 2-3 hours
Once my access to this issue was "Professional android application development".
Java basics are already preconditioned, so there's no need to explain ANYTHING.
For avoiding any misconceptions: This shall be just a quick start, no reference or something like this, so I just need some keywords and a hint how deeply go through it.
In my opinion, everything you really need is here: http://developer.android.com/index.html
All the downloads are easily accessible, the API reference is there, and the Dev guide is pretty well done.
This page has a getting started "Hello World" type tutorial that should work for your quick start: http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/hello-world.html
As far as your 2-3 hours goes. I would walk them through the hello world tutorial first as it gives a quick and dirty overview of the most important basics such as getting a project created and a virtual device up and running to test with. It will also start getting into installing and debugging.
That shouldn't take up all of your time so you may want to go into some basics of building a UI and concepts like Activities and Intents. Pointing out the API reference would be great at this point as well. I suspect that most of that 2-3 hours would be up if you get into any sort of detail on these.
Well you already mentioned a book in your question, so I would like to throw out http://commonsware.com/Android/ .
I've been working on an Android project for school, and I still have A LOT to learn, I dont think you can cover much in 2-3 hours. But anyway, with the above book, you can find an example that is similar to what your trying to accomplish(or go over), then look through the source code and what-not.
Aside from the Android Dev. website, the $40 collection of ebooks is the single best resource I have found to date other than Google searched or examples specific to my project.
Sorry if this doesnt really help your cause, but I figured it was worth pointing out.
