I'm currently developing an Android app wich uses a lot of Facebook data. From everything that I've read so far, RestFB appears to be the best option in order to use the Facebook API on a Java enviroment, but I have a concern: What happens if Facebook decides to "block" this library? Can Facebook do that? If that happens, my app would automatically stop working.
Thanks for your time!
RestFB should be as safe as any other option for interacting with the Facebook API. If you're building an app that interacts with a third-party API, you're at risk for breakage due to changes or updates in the API format. However, from the perspective of Facebook "RestFB" isn't a single application: each app that uses RestFB will be registered as a different Facebook API consumer. As a result, it's highly unlikely (in fact, probably impossible) that access from an entire library would ever be blocked by Facebook.

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 want to disable notifications coming from other apps like Facebook and other apps.
I know it is possible because the Notifications Off app has this functionality.
Actually, you could achieve this (for API level 18+) with the new NotificationListenerService and the appropriate permissions.
You can use getActiveNotifications() to get the list of current notifications in the device, and then cancelNotification() to close them individually or cancelAllNotifications() to remove them all at once.
So you could be notified (heh) as soon as a notification arrives, then dismiss it if it's from one of these "blocked" applications.
You can't, unless you have root or your code runs with system/phone app process id. The app you linked to in your question requires root.
In case you have root and are not afraid to use reflection to access hidden methods, you can examine how App Settings enables/disables notifications for a package.

I'm a student who work part-time at a start-up, which runs a website made with JSP.
We are planning an android app in this summer and I'm considering developing it with Python, which I'm interested in.
However, the service provided by the app is supposed to be added to the website made with JSP later. I'm afraid the difference of the language would cause any obstacle.
Since they will use a common database, I think using different languages to access it won't have any problem. I want to make sure that my guess is correct.
Pardon my poor English. I'd appreciate your answers.
I would recommend building the API services in the current language used by your start-up. If resources are limited, the company may not wish to maintain services in another language.
Though I would not recommend this, it is definitely possible for you to develop the portions of your Android application in Python and use a different language for the API services (assuming you are willing to use Python libraries like Kivy).
This will allow you to code a chunk of your application logic in Python.
To consider:

You will need to create an API that communicates between Android and your database.

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'm in a group project for developing a game for facebook. I did some research on languages to use on both platforms. What I found on facebook websites and on the forums scattered across the net is that facebook uses flash, javascript, php, and possibly html5 (web is transitioning over).
I haven't found much specific for java and c++ for facebook and I try looking around the support and help center for support on these two languages. Do you guys know if facebook can support for java and c++?
The language is hardly relevant by any miles.
The bare root basics of "Facebook support" is just its REST service endpoints. It doesn't really matter what languages you call them for. So long as the language support:
HTTP Requests,
Json (de)serialisation.
You will be able to integrate with Facebook.
The so called "supported" language are just languages with SDK (Which is just essentially REST service wrappers anyway.). If C++ doesn't have SDK for facebook, just look up the REST api documentation.
found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/
There's also a graph api explorer which you can inspect the out going and in coming trafic to try copy cat its request to get you started http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=100002793919270
Lastly, all facebook/google/twitter use OAuth authentication. Again its a platform/language agnostic authentication system consisting of HTTP Post and SSL.
Java has an SDK, plus Spring Social for Facebook and a few Android open source projects
