I have a simple question and I could not find a good answer on every search I've made. I wanted to make an app about a company that helps poor people and children with problems. They asked me if I could do an app that would show their latest news and campaigns, and, of course, I said I would do it for free. But I'm kind of a begginer, and I don't know how I should retrieve the news from their website (or twitter) to my app. I've heard of JSON and XML, but I don't know if that would do it. I want an app that would have all the news up-to-date, can anyone please give me some advice and help me? Thanks a lot everyone.
If they have an RSS feed, you could write an app that pulls down the feed, parses it and displays each entry in a table row. You should be able to find plenty of examples on http://github.com to help you.

I'm trying to create a Flutter app like wikipedia where a user can search and display the information but I'm don't have a lot of backend knowledge so it'll be appreciated if someone can guide me what I should do or learn in order to start this project.
The reason I'm trying to build this app is for my ethnic group. I want to have an app where we can read articles/information in our own language.
My goals is basically get all the article or documents about our cultures from other people and store in one database and display it in my app.
I'm not really sure where will be the best place to store all the article and retrieve that in Flutter. I've been looking Firebase but I'm not really sure if I can store the whole articles and display it.
Just to give you an idea, this is minipedia app and I'm thinking about creating an app just like this.
Any suggestion will be really helpful. thanks
You can use Firebase Firestore for this project. I've used FB before and to the best of my knowledge, there shouldn't be any problem with doing what you mentioned above.
I've been looking Firebase but I'm not really sure if I can store the whole articles and display it.
Yes, you can store whole articles on Firestore and retrieve them whenever you need them. Each document has a maximum limit of 1MB, which is approximately 1 million characters but should you need more space(which I highly doubt), you can always separate your articles into chunks.
In my app so far, I have to implement all the Twitter posts from a certain individual into a table view, and it automatically updates when the person tweets a certain post. Is it possible to mention a certain individual e.g. #John.. If it is possible, how can I do it? If not just let me know and I will delete this question as it could be too ambitious. Thanks!
I don't quite understand what you mean. I do a little!
There is a quick and easy way of doing this! One easy way is to use Twitters own SDK called Fabric. See Here
See this link for the timeline stuff and integration to your app Documentation
This should help you out!
P.S. Let me know how you get on!
I am creating an RSS Reader ios app for work and I have everything that I need except that when the article is loaded it just loads the mobile view just as it would load when viewing on safari. They want it to look more "native" to the app, meaning just the title, photo and then then the articles text in plain underneath.
This is my first attempt at an app and I am using a project that was open free source code. This project uses MWFeedParser integrated into it which, from what i've read, can accomplish what I need to (I think). Can anyone who has done this before or knows how to do it be kind enough to take me through it? I've asked a similar question before but the answers were vague and still left me stuck.
If it helps, I have uploaded the full project on github here:

Please download it if you wish and run it yourself on xcode if that will help out. If you're able to do it and help me learn how, even better.
Thanks!
I am a high school student who has taken a course this year on app inventing. We recently started a project where we are making apps that would benefit our school in a positive way. We decided we would make a website for our app for those that can't access the app. We came to a roadblock and asked our teacher to help us out. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to provide us with the help we needed. So he said to find something online that can help us, which is why I have come here.
Our app project was for a place where people can report found items, or look for any item they lost. On our website, we created a Google Form for them to fill out, which then gets inserted into a Google Spreadsheet. From the spreadsheet, we were trying to get the information to be transferred over to a Google Fusion Table which we found a site that has a step by step explanation on how to do so. This is where we have come across our error. We're not sure why this keeps happening, and have triple checked everything and nothing has fixed this error. We were hoping someone could help us out and provide any sort of assistance on fixing this error.
Attached is the screenshot of the error we keep receiving, and the link to the website we used to help transfer the information.
Synchronizing Fusion Tables!
Thank you for your time, and hope to hear back from you soon.
Hard to answer as we have little information. Someone had the same problem and had in fact not switched the service on in the script editor, so in case you wouldn't have come across the link: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-fusion-tables/6ZtaoDUASb4/M5iqO6-6dOQJ
I was reading a thread last year about cms softwares that are used for making social sites... and basically someone said it takes less time to do something with a certain cms and the response was you could make a whole twitter in seconds using so-and-so framework, that doesn't mean its best overall. I surly bookmarked that so-and-so website and were planing to test it. but its not anywhere in my bookmarks and searching in google didn't help. does anyone know what that cms/framework for creating twitter-like websites?
Thanks alot.
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but take a look at http://openmicroblogger.org/.
You can take a look at other possibilities, as told in here: http://socialcmsbuzz.com/ever-wanted-to-start-your-own-twitter-clone-now-you-can-02122008/.
Hope this helps,
