I'm making my first backend for an app that should work for android and iphone. It should have features similar to instagram with some photos and text.
Currently I'm looking at doing it with google App engine.
For a backend like this, with users, posts, comments etc. Should I use the datastore option or SQL?
I know JAVA so using google app engine should be fairly simple. But is it simple to make it work with iOS too?
I'm open for suggestions if you think there are better places to do backends like something with node.js or so. It should be easy to deply, quick and expandable.
What would be your suggestions?

parse.com is the answer to all your problems

At work we use Drupal as a backend.
It's an easy to use CMS, It has secure RESTful connection for doing content management things. It has an iOS SDK https://github.com/workhabitinc/drupal-ios-sdk. It supports commenting, user registration, user permissions, posts out of the box.

I am developing a Cross Platform (Android & iOS) Mobile App which would be compiled and deployed natively. (APK for Android and IPA for iOS). So this App would execute on WebView on Mobile Devices.
I am using DevExtreme (product of DevExpress) to develop the Mobile App. So basically HTML5. CSS3 and JavaScript is used for Coding the App. Now, I require a Offline Relational Database to store data related to my App.
I know that the below mentioned are available for the above mentioned use case, but I do have problem with each of them and that I have mentioned below:
WebSQL/SQLite: Deprecated and No Longer supported.
IndexedDB: Do not support iOS Safari and not useful for me.
Sequel Sphere: I think this is just Browser related and would not run on WebView. (Confused)
I surfed a lot and I am not able to arrive at a proper decision. Can anybody help/ provide me with a proper solution that would suit my above mentioned requirement.

This is a fairly broad question. Im looking to create a voice messaging app for android as an after work project. Does anyone know of any specific apis that might help in this endeavor? Ive been looking at the google cloud messaging service but that seems more for update notifications. Ive also taken a look at the volley library but that doesnt support large data transfers. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks!
For short messages, I guess you'll be fine sending common http requests. I'd try with ASIHttpRequest, which features asynchronous get/post request, progress bar for large request, ...
Best of lucks.
EDIT
My bad, ASIHttpRequest is iOS exclusive. You can try android-async-http instead.

I want my app to have Sign In with Facebook or Twitter or Gmail. My app will not post on theire respective account, just a way of authorization or user creation for my app.
Is there any easy library to achieve that without hustle of SDKs or complex configuration.
Any suggestions or examples will be very much helpful.
Check out this library. It allows you to implement numerous social networking sites using one simple library.
The API enables user authentication and sharing updates through
different various social networks and hides all the intricacies of
generating signatures & token, doing security handshakes and provide
an easy mechanism to build cool social apps.
Try socialAuth. It is for android. It is a open source too.

Just like facebook SDK, is there any SDK available to integrate vimeo videos in android application?
The API is open to any language as it answers to HTTP calls.
http://developer.vimeo.com/apis/simple
if you need to show private videos as well, you need to use the Advanced API and this is a little bit more complicate as it's more secure. The Advanced API uses OAuth 1.0 for authentication.
http://developer.vimeo.com/apis/advanced
What you probably want to know is if there's an Android Wrapper of the Vimeo API witch I know none, but as said, it's simple calls that sends you JSON or XML objects and if using the Advanced API, there are plenty of libraries to handle the authentication.

I have to integrate linked in my android application. Can someone suggest me some framework.
https://github.com/mdinacci/linkedin-for-android/downloads
i used this link but not working. Any example will be helpful.
Thanks in Advance.
I know the question is over a year old. However, if you search on Google this question keeps coming up in the results. That's why I felt the need to provide another answer.
I found a nice library called socialauth-android exists to easily integrate the 10 popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn etc).
I have just checked its latest version(2.0) and it seems that it solved Linkedin new keys bugs which I faced earlier and now I am able to share status , get contacts and get user profile.
Please see socialauth-android website
The LinkedIn Libraries and Tools page has an Android Library listed.
It's actively developed (has groups and companies, two of the newest resources) was updated in September, and has good feedback on the forums.
I'd probably start there for Android development.
