Do you have access to your school's student database?
Do you have access to your school's enrollment server or web server?

If no, you can't create the app without the two things I mentioned above.

If yes, you can create a web application that will be the middleware between the school's database and your front-end-- which in this case is a mobile app.

If you are going to write a web app, you need to know at least Java or C#/ASP.NET, or PHP (depending on the platform and PL of your choice).

This web app needs to be deployed to a web application server.

You have many choices in terms of web application servers.
Java based:
1) Apache Tomcat
2) JOnAS
3) JBoss
4) Glassfish

and you have .Net for Windows based web app.


The android app will be written in Java. Although, there are other ways to write an android app using other programming languages. You should write the front-end in the same programming language as the web app so you only need to learn one PL.

Your android app will be talking to the web app and vice-versa to transport data. There are a few options to do this but the most common ones are XML and JSON.

There are other ways to do it of course. FOr example, you can use Ruby + Ruby on Rails Framework or Python + Django.

This is just a general overview. There are other technologies you might need to know such as HTML/Javascript/CSS

mukang wala syang direct access dun sa mga servers, pero i think pwede pa rin syang makagawa kelangan lang i emulate nya yung allowed na client dun sa website at syempre may account sya. for this situation, kelangan mo ng fiddler, wireshark, etc basta pang dump ng data na dumadaloy sa client at server atsaka knowledge sa mga protocols at client/server technologies na ginagamit ng website nyo, after alam mo na what goes behind, i translate mo na sa android. mahirap pero di naman imposible, para madali mag ojt ka o magpaalam ka na lang para mabigyan ka ng access sa servers nila malay mo.

Yes, pwede. But that also means every time i-update yung website kelangan din update yung android app.
