Android App Development help please - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am looking Android App Development help please.
I would like to make an Android TV box app and was wondering if I can get some help creating one with the following requirements;
1) Looking for a Template, for starters, so I don't have to code one from scratch since I have no idea of what I'm doing
2) Configure the app to utilize a Username/Password which verifies the account on a server database that I control.
3) Hopefully it will be easy to include a link within the code that reaches out to an XML file on my server or whatever where I have a list of Video Streams/Feeds that the app reads and you can select what video you want to play.
Thank you

Hi I'm not an android coder but a c# coder in terms of a template project, something like this? https://github.com/hitherejoe/AndroidTvBoilerplate
I just searched android TV boilerplate (a boilerplate is template). Hope it helped.

Graduation project

Hello all, I have a question about developing an application for my graduation project. The idea is to develop an application in which the various books/information sources get a place and can be placed under different semesters/years. The information as provided has to have an easy way of updating for teachers(probbebly web-based). The aplication also has to work on iOS. Can you guys give me an idea on how to start i think HTML5 is a good option.
For cross platform application you can try PhoneGap(phonegap.com) with Dojo (dojotoolkit.org).
Front end is only half!

HTML5 will be great, but it will be difficult for a school to update as a native app. I suggest simply using a mobile-ready website. jQuery Mobile is great for this, and it handles all the cross platform issues. Have you given any consideration to serverside code? Php, .Net, and Node.js are all great options. Talk with an administrator about what kind of system they use to store files & links currently. You could fairly simply make a page that scans a file share they maintain to build the page .
Are all current (including budget) phones capeble of running .net or PHP? I'll probebly host the site/app myselve for a while during the test phase so if i go web-based it will be PHP since my host is a linux host. I'll have a look tomorrow, I'm studying to be an officer on a ship not an programmer so all programming is new, I did some vb/php but nothing fancy.
i started with icenium, but found out that icenium doesn't offer to store the webfiles on your own server. So thats not an option.

best approach to start android app development for a small app

I have to start android programming for a project.
The project involves using the App to remote control a camera attached to the pc which is running the web-server.
The App does two things:
1) Send user-inputted parameters for the photo capture to a web-server.
This is relayed to the web-server (using gSOAP or other web-service).
The web-server then calls the program i create on the server, which captures an image from the camera.
The program also has other functionality like image manipulation, making a timelapse movie etc using these captured images.
The program sends back to the app a video file or image.
2) Receive a video file (either saved in Gallery, or viewed inside App).
As you can see bulk of my project will be not on the android but on the server.
My question then is, how do i approach android programming?
I want to make the best use of my time and not have to learn the A-Z of android programming. This is not me being lazy (I have done a few chapters of Sams teach Yourself Android & completed Google's online tutorial on android) but just wanting to spend, what little time i have, wisely.
So i suppose my question is:
1. What areas of android should i concentrate on for this app (e.g. web-services, drawing buttons etc).
2. Any resources that would help me in this quest (e.g. templates)
Apologies if it was long and drawn out, and thanks for reading so far
What are the requirements of android app development?
what all am i suppose to know? rit now i just know c++ is that sufficient?
any help will be appreciated

Help with Android app for Ampache server

Hello Everyone,
Please I am wondering if anyone here can help me with my project.
I am currently working on a university project of building an Android app that can connect to my ampache server and be able to display and play my album and song list. Something similar to “just player” and “lullaby for ampache”. I have already setup the ampache server and I can browse and listen to the music on the web player.
I do not want the app to ask for credentials when a user first launches it like just player or lullaby, but instead already logged in to the main page so that anyone can be able to view and listen to the song on the server.
I have had a look here https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/XML-API but I do not know how to generate, the key, passphrass or how to use it.
I have also had a look here https://github.com/meandor/ampdroid but the source code seems a bit too much for me to wrap my head around as I am still pretty much a n00b in the Android app development world.
Please I really need help or someone to guide me with the connecting to my server part of my project.
Please, please I am begging anyone out there with any idea to help me, no matter how little.
Thank you.

Assistance Customizing UI/Features for an Andrioid open source Python based app

Hello Developer Community,
I am presently using a bluetooth home automation device from a company called Plugable. The device is being controlled by a stock/default Android app provided by Plugable in Google Play. After testing the product, I realized I wanted a hour:minute:second count down style timer and presets features added to what Plugable describes as a completely customizable open source application.
I am not a programmer, so I was wondering if someone would be willing to take a look at the open source code to see if the features I want can be built into the open source app and be willing to design a new UI layout that would be more appealing(features that look similar to Control 4 Android app available in Google Play.) I am open to any new app development and program design as long as the device can communicate in the manner intended by Plugable.
If anyone feels my request is practical, I would be willing to pay a fair value for your time and service. I would need to also start this project ASAP. And I mean ASAP!
You can find more information about Plugable-BTAPS Python Library for Creating Custom Applications with the Plugable PS-BTAPS1 and the Bluetooth Home Automation Device on Plugable's website.
Thank you for your time and assistance anyone can provide.

Looking for Kotlin decompiler or Waze source code

(First of all, I can't start a thread with Opera GX because no input appear for the subject, I need to use Chrome to get it)
Hey!
I'm Xamarin & Flutter dev and I have never done reverse engineering. So I'm looking for a way to get Waze source code : I tried lot of decompiler but everytime, I got "kotlin_metadata" extension, I searched for a long time on Github too and nothing.
Then, I come here to get some help : What is the best way to get the source code of this application. Any suggestion?
It's possible because I saw lot of "Waze Mod" on internet, for example: display radar on map, change icons etc...
Thank you for your help, and I hope this is the good place to post.
