hi my name is nick and i work for a car dealership in idaho falls idaho. my question is i got asked to design a app for are dealership but i have no application experience other then the simple stuff like hello world etc. now ill outline what i want the app to do and everything

ok i want it to do

Inventory search (auto updates like my website)
Schedule a service appointment
Schedule a test drive
email us
about us (including a page on meet the sales men)
Call Us and Map/Navigate to us

now i have looked at other dealerships apps and the design i want it to be laid out in would be similar to the app Car Dock on my DX

The more specific your question, the higher the chance for a response. You did not ask a very specific question. That said...

I would set up an online SQL database server (MySQL/MS SQL/whatever implementation is the most convenient) with the data that you want the app to fetch (inventory records, vehicle available for test drive, whatever etc.). Write the android app (basically a client) so that it can read and search the data in the online database with SQL commands.
