I am currently writing and Android app, and I need to do some stuff with a server. Actually I just don’t know where to begin, since I don’t know very much about server side.
My Android app will send Java objects and images to my server, so what do I need to write or use on my server ? Is it possible to write Java code instead of PHP on the server side ?
Could you please give me the steps to prepare my server ?
You can use any programming language you like for server side programming. This question provides some useful information on various Java based approaches using the HTTP protocol.
You will need to serialise them to a data format. JSON and XML are popular for transmitting structured data across HTTP.
HTTP allows the transmission of files and Java can construct the request.
