Question about android apps

[Romeo1]

Would it be possible to make an app out of someone else's website.

Like create a custom login/password box, with a different skin, it leads you into a GUI that has buttons for different pages in the website? You get the jist.

Or do you need that website's API?

Btw I'm using android app inventor



Thanks guys.

It means that 62 of our members looked at your post to see what your "Question about android apps" was but none of them could help. Nobody owes you an answer.

Fwiw, you appear to want to do exactly what the Tapatalk app does. So it's definitely do-able, presumably by hooking into the forum software's API as you suggest.

Sorry, I guess I overreacted, I appreciate the help. But what I'm more concerned about is that the site that I want to make an app for may not have a public API, is there anyway around that? I heard of something called "web scraping" ?
