MySQL and Android Help - Android Studio

Hello everyone I have to create a project for my database class and it consist of creating a android app that communicates with MySQL. I just started playing WAMP and started to learn PHP and using phpmyadmin to manage my database. I would like some pointers of how can I start to learn the process of making my app communicate with my database? Also what is the best site to host my database so my app can be accessed anywhere not just localhost. I appreciate everyone's feedback. Thank You!
- Any links to good example videos would be appreciated free or paid just want something that will guide me to the right direction

I've bagged a semester project recently, called 'Social Data Mining on Smartphones'. I've added the task description as an attachment to this post. Do have a look!
Now - I installed the ADT/SDK plugins for Eclipse and tried out the 'Hello World' programme once following the Developer's Tutorial - that's it!
I'm all set to being my project... but.. there's a tiny snag in my way
--> I have absolutement NO clue where to begin
I'd be grateful to you guys if you could guide me through my project and be available for answering questions/solving problems.. I'm also open to new ideas/suggestions/creative input, etc.
So......... how to get started?
Okies - I managed to make the GUI.

So, now I need to get started with the actual coding.
Step 1) Extract data from the contact application
Any ideas how to get started?

registraiton/login/auth

Hello, I am new to android development, and got a few questions, I've read a bit about databases and as I understood SQLite is more for small projects since its not organized, I am trying to create something similar to snapchat (login, register, friends, send messages to friends)
so I'm assuming i should use MySQL for it, I used to do web development so I have experience in it.
After a little researching on the web I've found nothing too much about using MySQL in my project, saw that i have to use JSON to do it, but I'm struggling a little to understand the concept of it, could anyone explain it to me?
and can i develop my application first of all on my localhost and then when its done buy a host?

New To App Development and Could Use Some Guidance

Hiya,
I am new to android app development and am trying to make my first project. I am interested in making a very simple app that captures customer information and project details and then at the end gives the option to print and email the captured information.
For example the first page of the app would ask for date,name, phone number and email. The second page would consist of a number of boxes that can be bubbled to select material to be used. Lastly would be a page that had total and deposit amount boxes to fill in and the print and email buttons respectively.
My questions are as follows;
1. What program is the best to use to help develop such an app?
2. Can it even be done?
3. Can it be deployed on a tablet device?
4. What resources do you know of that could help me in this over ambitious endeavor?
5. How do I create a gui with custom colors and such?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated and I look forward to helping others with the knowledge I obtain from this journey.
Thank you,
Newbie

Suggestions for app - New Android Studio user

Hello everybody, happy to have found this forum.
I am a student and have studied 3 years Java in highschool (pretty good level) and studying for about 2 C/C++ at University, am good with PHP and databases and I know some CMS pretty well. So intermediate programming skills, hoping to improve them. I'm from Italy so excuse my bad grammar
I want to create this app for some friends of mine and I want it to be connected to a database and that database will be displayed online on a website. Basic data categorized and if possible displayed differently for different zones. So say you're from Japan and access a category from the website: firstly it asks for location access and then displays to you the "nearest" data available (if you'd want you could access data from other locations). This should have minimum costs, talking website/database.
So what I am asking, how hard this can be? I have never created a project in Android Studio, just worked with Netbeans ,CodeBlocks and Eclipse.
Is there a way to quickly learn how to save the data from an app to a database ? The other way I guess I'm able to do it.
If any of you is so kindhearted to help me find some good tutorials.
Thanks.
It depends on your skill, based on your skill set it will be easy for you.
All you need is create an API for your app so it can exchange data to your web server. You can use a PHP Framework for your API to make your life easy.
On Android part you can use GSON for converting JSON data to Java Object and vice versa.

I guess it can be created and to save your time try to build it using a mobile app builder then connecting it to other source would be easier
All the best
