I want to make an Android App without much effort. I already have a website with a responsive design. Is there an easy way to convert it or maybe display a website as an Android app?
Have a look at phonegap, it does exactly what you want.
If you really want to go the minimal effort route, why not just create an application with a single Activity using a WebView.
Here is a guide from Google on developing Web Apps in WebView.
By making your web site responsive, i don't think that you need to convert or display your website as a native App. I think that you need a real mobile or android user experience to get the satisfactions of users.
A lot of technical solution exists already like using a webview in your first activity.
But, my advice, is to make a dedicated design for your app and to apply a full android user experience for it.
Good luck

I just started to make my own app for the first time.
I want to make a news app which take data from my wordpress blog. I designed the app similar to CNN, BBC app for example. I'd like to make it by my own, not using plugins like apppresser or worona. I use android studio to make the app and just make a listview & row item to list news, but don't know how to take data from wordpress blog.
Could anyone help me? It would be help to introduce me a site about the problem I had. Thanks.
Maybe what you could do is download the raw HTML page you want to get the information from and process it to get what you want to display. Then if you want to keep the app updated with the info, make it repeat the process with a lapse of time (like every 3 minutes for example).
This will work with any kind of page, not just wordpress.
Maybe it will take you a little more time to do this than find an API that does it for you, but since you are new it will be good for you to practice a bit, and, you'll be able to reuse this code incase you stop using wordpress and move to another "plataform".
I am working on same project and i use this json api plugin. I gives me json and then i handle it in my project.
You can use volley libaray to handle requests for server. Here is link for volley tutorial
Good Luck!

I should create app for Smart TV. I have googled, but I don't find something that can help me. And I want to know is it possible to create the app only on Java without JavaScript? What do I should use? Help me please :) Thanks in advance!
it totally depends on for which Smart TV platform you want to develop i.e Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sharp etc.
also there is other thing that some TV's have different OS for the same modal eg. LG have WebOS and Netcast series OS.
these have their own dedicated developer forums u can check that.
also u can develop using .net, HTML5, CSS, jQuery etc.
It's depend on the TV brand you want to deploy your app. If you want to develop in Java, you can make app for android TV: https://developer.android.com/training/tv/index.html
For Samsung, It's Tizen: http://www.samsungdforum.com/Features/Introduction but I believe it's HTML/JS development

I'm a Java developer that hasn't coded in about 5 years and wants to polish up my skills. I am going to create a small app that uses an OAuth 2.0 authentication flow and then makes a few REST calls and displays the results. I've got my credentials setup with the OAuth provider.
I used Eclipse back in the day, is that still a solid IDE for this type of project? If I want to share the app with others to show my work, where could I host the code?
Thanks for these and any other pointers.
first off - yes, Eclipse if still a good choice.
if you can, make you app a web-application, and then you can host it in PaaS such as Google AppEngine. then the app itself will be always accessible from any machine that is connected to the web. this way, you will be able to show it to anyone you want.
if you only want to show the code, then GitHub or Google Code are a good choices.
HTH

I'm in the early midst of making a game with Java, and would eventually like to turn it into an android application.
All the developer technical stuff aside, will the code itself remain the same, or will I have to rework the better part of it?
Thanks in advance for the feedback
Yes,you can do like that where your rendering part need to be changed if you want to use it in android. So the better option is use some framework to port your code to work in Android system as well. LibGdx is such a kind of framework where you can develop and test your application in stand alone mode and without changing your code, you can run it in Android as well. Please refer LibGDX site for more information
Android code is java, so yes!
You'll have to change some stuff. For instance, if you're using swing to show stuff on the screen, you'll have to change it to use the android API; but the core of the code should remain the same.
I remember doing my very first videogame in java. Porting it to android only required me to modify little.

I want to build an app in android. I have a sound knowledge of C/C++, but I don't know Java as of yet..!
Do I need to learn java to develop an app in android ?? What does I need to do to develop an app ?
I explored this link http://developer.android.com/training/index.html, but I didn't understand what actually do I need to do to develop an app.
Please help..!
Before starting Android development, you should know these:
1. Basic OOP Concepts.
2. Basic Java.
3. Basic XML.
If you already know these things, then just download JDK (According to your OS) and a suitable IDE (like Eclipse, Android Studio, etc)
And explore the Android Development Portal.
P.S: If you are finding Android Developer's Portal difficult to understand then, you can jump to some nice tutorials and start developing. Here is the list of some nice Android Tuts:
Vogella's Blog
Tutorials Point
Core Servelets
XDA Forum
YES... You'll need to have basic knowledge of XML and Java. And once you are clear with Object Oriented programming with Java, you can start Android Application Development.
