Programming Android Application:

I would like to create a simple application for communicate between two Android phones.

I would like for the application to connect to the internet, before sending a simple message to a database on its way to the other mobile phone. The use of the internet is to avoid text message costs.

Some advice on where I should look for examples appropriate to my problem would be very kind, also thoughts on the problems I am liable to come across would be a bonus.

This is university cours开发者_JAVA百科ework, so if we could avoid answers etc I would really appreciate your time.

I have downloaded the Android SDK and the plugin for eclipse and have begun working though examples and studying alot of the sample code from http://developer.android.com

My concern is not the coding but the logic of how my problem can be solved.

Thankyou in advance.

Kind regards

Simon

For two slightly different approaches look at how both Twitter and XMPP chat works. Both provide the ability for one client (mobile or not) to send a message over the internet and be received by another, but both work very differently.

I'm not sure where to begin. Are you please able to describe more about any approach you're thinking to take?

Of course, it may be beneficial to be familiar with database-backed web apps, and Android web apps.
