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!

i want to contribute to a fandom i'm in and also practice my coding, so i wanted to make an app that would let the user keep track of the event stories they've read. but i don't know where to start with this.
i can add extra features like scoring and total stories read later on, but for now i need an idea of where to start. i think i've heard java would work for this? but would that even work on android and ios both??
once i know what programming language to use i need to find something to code this on, as well as how to even hold information in a database. (similar to myanimelist and how it has a database of entries that you can add to your own list.) likely with a login system--but one step at a time.
what are the basics i need to know to start? and where would i build this app? thank you!
If you want a single application that can work on both ios and android then go for Flutter or React Native. For your question regarding where to keep database and how login system works you will need to study at-least one of the systems in some depth.

I'm a beginner in android. I learn the basic concepts one at a time. But now i'm trying to make a slightly large project. How should i approach this? Should I make all the activities first or should i make activities along with code? Or should i just continue on with the anything i like?
The first thing you would need to think of is what exactly your app does.Once you have that in mind the next thing your're going to want to do is think of an interface for the app which usually leads to deciding what information needs to be shown when and on which screen.Once you know what needs to be where you can start the actual coding,i suggest 1 activity at a time.
If you want a large project i suggest a to-do app.

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'm quiet new to databases and SQLlite in general so I'm sure there's probably an easier way to do this but...
1) How can I store a database online so it is accessable by multiple devices? If this isn't clear, an example of what I'm trying to do can be seen on the Android app "whatsapp". When you update your status(i.e. set it as available or busy), it show's on everyone's device.
2) if this is too complicated to explain on here, can you recommend a tutorial series?
Thanks
Yes you can store your data on your online database but first learn about webservices and how it works. As for tutorial I think this one can give you an idea on how it will work:

Also take note that SQLite database are stored locally on your device. :)

I would like to have a database of items stored on the user's phone. I currently have everything set up using WebView pointed at my domain, but obviously this isn't ideal if the user is in a low-signal location.
If possible I would also like to be able to search the list for multiple words.
Any pointers to tutorials etc would be ideal.
In Android you'll want to use SQLite databases, here are some places from where I learned my way with databases in Android:
Start here:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/119293/Using-SQLite-Database-with-Android
Or here if you want to use an existing database:
http://www.reigndesign.com/blog/using-your-own-sqlite-database-in-android-applications/
If you decide on XML, though, you might want to read this instead:
http://www.anddev.org/parsing_xml_from_the_net_-_using_the_saxparser-t353.html
http://www.androidpeople.com/android-xml-parsing-tutorial-using-saxparser
Here you have a tutorial involving both methods, downloading data in XML format, parsing it and storing the information on a database, probably the guide you want to read if you're starting with Android, since it covers pretty much what you are trying to achieve, probably :P
