I have an idea i for a android app i would like to create. However, i don't know where to start exactly on research. I am not expecting a step by step here. Perhaps, just a general idea.
Think of the app as a Excel spreadsheet. The client can enter a value in a cell and [if it passes parameters] updates that value for other clients. i am assuming there would need to be a server for the clients to connect to. unless there is a way for them to see each other without a central point, which would be nice.
so as it stands Client<>Server<>Client .
I am completely new to programming, though i have built a couple python_based.exe's messing around. which was just basic gui's with math input.
Q: What would be the process for taking a client value and passing it to a server which would push a value update to other clients?
Q: Would Python be able to handle this entire process? Is Python able to be compiled to a Android.apk? If not what language should i be looking at?
I will be adding logic so that it will validate the value before updating. I don't know how the client>server works or where to start with it though.
any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
