Hi I am looking to add an android app version of my website. My question is can the two co exist with the same MySQL database? I’m learning Java a just about to start learning Android development. Tx
Ps my website is built on a lamp stack. Is I possible to use the two concurrently?
You can turn your website into a REST API (service layer) that the Android application written in Java consumes for data.
Sorry to be clear I need to research how to make my LAMP server into a REST API (is that the correct way to start the research?)
Hi,
Any reason you can’t just make it a PWA? Does not make much sense to have to maintain 2 codebases and to learn Andriod development just to get your website looking nice on a phone.
Or keep it really simple and make the website responsive so it looks great on Any phone and then add in PWA things if required.
Anyway just a suggestion.
I disagree with that opinion. Depending on the circumstance it can make a lot sense to turn a website into a native app. Your typical website probably not but a web application or ecommerce website possibly. I’ve always found websites in native apps wrappers to be clunky and unappealing. I much prefer true native apps when available.
@zookeeper thanks that is what my cursory research Indicated.
