Event App, Where to Start - Android Studio

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and if I continue on the path of trying to build apps I'm sure I will be a frequent visitor. I have a website client of mine that is looking to build an app to find events across the USA. We would have the ability to add all the events that we need to search for, but I am wondering where to even start with this? Does anyone have experience with creating a similar app? Basically it's like a Eventbrite or Bandsintown, but we can supply all the events ourselves. Please let me know what the ease of this project would be and where to begin. Thank you!

To start you should read up on server back ends and integrating them with android.

[Q] Agenda able to add pictures to events

Hey all,
For about 4 years I've been looking for a agenda wich can add photo's in it's events. I figured this would come eventually, yet its looking like I'm the only one who wants this feature.
Basicly: I'm lazy.. If i see a poster of a party or invitation of something (death's birthday's, etc.), i take a picture for later reference. When I feel like, I look back at them and add the info manually to agenda. It is however easier if my agenda would alow me to add photo's. I dont need more info then what's on a poster or on an invitation.
Does anyone have a tip if this is possible, or should i start learning to program in android and write my own agenda app?
If someone else is missing this feature too, I'd love to know!! I feel lonely atm.
I guess I'll have to start learning java / android programming..

Would like to Dev for W8, have ideas, more places to start?

Hello All,
I have two small App Idea's that I want to implement on the Windows Phone 8 platform. The problem is I'm a little unsure where to start for resources.
The issue however is that for all the Dev resources MS has given us, they mostly start at weird points and has no or little impact on where I want to, or figured one should start. So stuff like, setting up a DB, or Using an Azure Server etc.
If not that, most other help I've found have been off point starting as well. XDA's own vids start off with OAuth etc, which are all great, but I'm not even near there yet for what I want to do.
Most other guides, like even MS's own recent JumpStart videos all hop and skip over certain things. So you're following along (Or I'm trying to) and they jump forward, skip tasks and pull out pre-done code so I assume I need different foundation before I can jump in at their stage.
So, I have my idea of what I want to do, buttons, calculator, lists. But I don't know how to start from some basic things. And I am a little reluctant to jump in to what they have for WP7 cuz I don't want to use anything that's been deprecated.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Check out LinkedIn. I started a group a long time ago for Windows Phone developers and enthusiasts. It's filled with programmers, Microsoft people, and there's lots of good references and people to ask.

Thanks for the reply, any specific link to this LinkedIn... I gotta admit, I never thought of LinkedIn as a place for help in this kind of thing...
As an update though, I already have started on the app I had in mind and now have some specific "How-do-I" questions, but undure where to post these. Thanks again however.
Here's the group. There are some pretty active members who are programmers.

As weird as it may sound: I would suggest you get a beginners book on programming C# on the Desktop. That way you should learn to program from the ground up and get a solid foundation on how the language works (classes, properties, attributes, events, etc.)
Everything else later on is different libraries you will use. That is what most of the introductory videos are about. They show you which classes you use for certain functionality, how you properly wire everything up so it works together.
When you have the basics of how C# works (and most current programming languages like Java but also Objective-C or C++ share the same concepts although there are differences) the best way would be to start with a small project and ask questions when you get stuck or first have a look at StackOverflow if the same question has already been asked and answered.
Teaching someone how to program from the ground up in a forum only rarely works in my experience. But the previous poster might have had different experiences.

[Q] Help With Running DB Queries and Emailing Results

Hi all!
I know this is probably way off topic and this forum might not even be the best place to ask but before I venture to unknown forums I wanted to start at home! I'm not sure if SQL is best to perform the task at hand or maybe a batch or Python script to run the SQL. Just looking for your thoughts and any ideas are much appreciated! Below is what I'm looking to do. Let me know if you need additional info to get me the best response!
We have an existing Database that is continuously being updated. What I need to do is run a Query, daily, and email the results to a particular email address. Each day I want the script to grab only the top 15 results. It would need to sorted by Due Date. We have a column for Completed but it doesn't need to show in the report but I would imagine that I need it in the query so the results can be updated each day. Out of all the columns in the DB I only need to Query about 6 and display in the results all 6 besides the Completed column.
If possible, I'd like the email to include the results in HTML format rather than an attachment. Thanks in advance for you help all!

[Q] Complete dimwit in this department, looking for some (moral) guidance.

Hello.
Im looking to creating a very simple application for a project work we have in school. We started off with four guys in the group, one guy kinda knew how to create apps and do the coding and whatnot but he switched groups last second. So considering we've already handed in the outline for the project which is stating that we're creating an application, we're kinda screwed.
Problem here; we don't know jack **** about creating applications. Our idea is to create the most basic "calendar app" where you open the app, you get the calendar immediately with all the dates. You press a date and when you do that you can write down stuff. Like a logbook pretty much.
So, considering our coding guy decided to leave us I now have to figure out a way to solve this on my own. Now Im just looking for pointers to get me started, consider the fact that I am completely oblivious to everything having to do with coding, and so are my two friends in my group. I understand we might be a lost case but any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Send me a PM or reply to this thread, thanks in advance.

[Q] Having Issues with my Senior Project

Hello everyone,
For my senior project of an English class, I have decided to make a very basic app to accompany a website which a previous student created. I want it to be basic but the issue I am having is that I do not understand how to make it so that a person clicks on a button, and it takes them to that url of the website (basically webview in a fullscreen activity for each of the buttons in the tab). I have managed to get a version of this working with the master/detail flow activity but I cannot translate it to work with the navigation drawer activity. I am willing to pay for assistance as I understand everyone has their own lives. I am learning all of this as I go so I do not have a background in this, however, I am very interested in this project and I do not want anyone to just do the work for me. I would just like someone I could ask an occasional question when in need. Thank you for reading.
