I'm creating an app which has a list with content (Images, text...) which is going to come from the Internet (my website) . I want to be able to update and add / edit content easily.
I'm thinking about using WordPress as the backend, and then use a HTML parser such as jSoup to get the text / images etc. from the WordPress site and put it into the list & wherever I need it in the app. I could easily add / update / delete content, plus it is also accessible in a normal browser.
Good idea ?(why? / why not?) Anyone ever tried it? Possible alternatives?
There are plugins available to create a REST API from your WordPress site, like this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/. I think that might be useful!

Hey,
Here are the two images from the geeksforgeeks website and geeksforgeeks application, notice that they both have the same content, Now question is that how they uses the webpages content in his application, Is they save there articles content in the database and then fetch for both website and android application ? or they are using something else.
thanks in Advanced...
They aren't parsing html in textview or something, rather they have a server, and they make request, and they get response to the request (probably in form of JSON) and they have some fragment or activity with specific set of elements and they just parse JSON and extract content.
And again, there are MANY ways to do this, but am pretty sure they aren't just parsing HTML to textview or something. You can search and implement popular architecture in your app.

For creating server you have to use any backend language like PHP will be very comfortable for beginners.
You can refer php MySQL connection with Android using volley or any Http connection in Android.
You can refer to www.androidhive.com and search for above for better understanding.

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 want to know whether is it possible that if i create an android app using html, then later if i want to update the pages of that app i can do it from an online resource and not give an apk update notification to the user.
Is something like that even possible?? Something BookMyShow app where we never get an update and the pages are updated automatically.
Please Help! Thanks in Advance!
For your requirement webview may be useful... create and host your web pages on the server and in webview use url of your website... and make sure that your website design is responsive... by using this u can make changes to pages without new updates to apk

I have a wordpress website that I want to create into a native app for Android. What are my options for getting content from the site?
I have looked into XML Parsing of the RSS feeds, and JSON API/JSON Feed. The api for JSON said it is outdated and possibly not working on new versions of wordpress websites.
What is my best options?
I need to get the post Title, Image, and Text.
