Question

I am a new developer in Android. Currently I have started working on an app. I dont have any colleagues in Android so for my doubts and queries I am depended only on Stack overflow.

In my app I have placed three Edit boxes as follows with an ok button at last

FirstName:_____________
LastName:______________
DOB:___________________

When the user enters all data above and clicks the OK button at last, I am going to do the following process

1. Store the datas in a database
2. Send it to a particular URL
3. the data send to the URL will be get saved there

i just want to know how to implement this. What concept to be used…..

Answer 1

Google has tutorials for doing simple forms and taking actions when buttons are pressed. You should start there.

Next try the URL thing and next try the save data thing. If you follow the form tutorial you’ll know where put code to execute when button is pressed (read the data tutorial).

If you follow others tutorials (to navigate) you’ll know how to redirect to a URL (I would read “intents” but I’m not pretty sure, I’m not very prepared on Android). I guess that you should only “redirect to http://” and the system will decide (or ask the user) to open it in a browser or something diferent (like the youtube app). If you want to control the window navigation read this (but I don’t recommend it).

But the bottom line is: read the tutorials and try things until you feel that you grasp the philosophy of the technology. Then search for specific things link redirecting, saving data, or taking a special action.
