I plan to write a stand-alone GUI application using which I can generate APK files to be installed on an android handset.
The generated android application screens would have a fixed layout. While running the application, the layout has to be populated and filled from the database which I add to the application. The table fields would be same though the contents are different for each database. ie; each time I generate an APK, the only variable that has to go into the application is the database.
Can someone please let me know whether I can achieve this? If yes, please let me know as to how to proceed with this.
Any queries, clarifications, please let me know.
Any help is appreciated
If you are only changing the database, you can include your source code with the GUI, also include the Android apk tools, use scripts to run the apk building and signing after you have changed the database (which will just be some type of replace in /assets/)
You can learn all about manually signing from the command line here: (i.e. scripting)
