Apps Idea to create an app

[GodLovesYou]

Hey hey guys!

I was thinking about making a simple app that provides the user to choose 2 different models of smartphones and compare them. I want to make this app just to acquire knowledge about some concepts of Java.

The ideia is, after pick up that models to compare them it will display on the screen to different fragments that split a model from another. With that, I need to create a database, but I don't know if I should create a remote database, for example, with wamp or creating a local database inside of my app with database helpers.

Have a good day.

How would your data be acquired? Bearing in mind that new phones are constantly being released, your app would need regular updates. Where is this data coming from?

Is there any need for such an app? IMO sites like GSM Arena seem to do phone comparisons pretty well already using just a browser, and their information is current. Where would you be getting your data from?

OP is just doing it to learn, which is fair enough, but I agree that the data could be a problem.

Well, first of all I was thinking just at the begging compare only the things related to the hardware.
The problem is, if I want to make an remote database I need to pay for it.

I just want to make this application for fun...You know? I would like to see this working as an achievement for me.

Well you could populate a local database with some static data to get the app working. It's a good project because it covers a lot of areas.

But if I want to update the database I need to update the application too right?

Sounds like a lot of input and headache. But an achievement once done. Go for it!
