App for a custom website using WordPress
Hey, I am new to Android App Development and am currently working and trying to develop an application for a comanpy (letschangehyderabad.com), that would do the following functionality..
log into a website(http://www.letschangehyderbad.com) via the app
after logging in, it should provide the functionality to post any view/suggestion/comment to that website based on the same options that one would get if they logged into the website via the internet browser from a desktop/laptop.
So I was wondering firstly is it possible to develop such a new custom app (changeHyd) which would require it to connect to the website and then after logging in, do the same features as mentioned above
if yes.. could somebody guide me with some technical help on how to proceed….
Basic stuff that needs to be done
- Post a Comment
- Take a Picture and then upload it with a certain description.
example – http://www.letschangehyderabad.com/add-a-post-2/
This app will then be hosted on the website for the different users to download it on to their phone .

Check out “Building Android Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript” by Jonathan Stark, published by O’REILLY. If you have a web site up and sunning, using HTML, CSS &JavaScript this book walks you creating and Android app using this as the basis and the same skills you used to build your web site.
Later,
Cliff

AHA! My apology. I should have known since this is a WordPress for Android site and a WordPress user might not know all that HTML, CSS and JavaScript stuff. Sorry I was unable to help. I am fairly new to WordPress so will back out of this and let the more experienced chime in.

I’m also looking for a way to upload photos/text posts ect to a wordpress blog. Are there any other ways of doing this? I’d prefer not to mess with the HTML, CSS and JavaScript stuff and just work from the android api.

The Android app uses the XML-RPC API to accomplish this. More info on XML-RPC:
