easiest way to make an android app? - dan - 10-15-2012 09:30 PM

What is the easiest way to make an android app that does the following.

1. Checks twitter feeds for different sports teams.
2. Displays the trending of those tweets.

So basically, I want an app that can detect tweeting volume or trends, and display it in a percentage chart.

Then I want to break it down further so that people can see if most of the tweets about the team are negative or positive.

I think you need server support. You should collect the data on a central server, then feed that data to the app. All the app needs to do is be able to display data and collect it (periodically) from your central server database.

As for how you plugin into Twitter without just hacking it, I don't know.

Learn the Android programming language. Write the code. Compile and test the program. Debug the program and recompile until it works.
