This is kind of a general approach question as I’m new to Android.
I’m looking to develop an app to display a range of content including video, audio, and written articles.
Up to now i’ve only developed systems that do this kind of thing for my company’s network and doing it for android/internet raises a whole new range of issues.
I’ve done a couple of websites so I’m familiar with apache and data sources and perl and what have you. I’m also fine with java and with some head scratching i’m working my way around Android studio. My main issue is how to handle the content for Android.
Is there a common way to do this sort of thing? There’s loads of good programming resources for Android but I’ve not been able to find the sort of info I’m looking for here.
In the past I’ve stored images and video in a database, and at other times I’ve stored links to files on a network share in the database to keep the size down. For articles i have stored them as HTML in the database so that they can be easily used for web pages.
This is really a personal project for learning purposes but I’m hoping it might open up a new line of work as I’m looking for a change. Any advice on the storage of content would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
