I need to create an APK which accesses an online file, I assume an xml (which the design of which isn't made yet so it's up to you). The app would then display some of the contents of this file as number of available selections. The user makes a choice and the app then downloads a file and saves it to the correct place.
Even better if possible I'd like the downloads to be be scripts that it downloads and executes. Then I could create the scripts that could download the files I want execute whatever terminal command I want on the device showing whatever output I want on screen in the terminal window then close when done.
Generally the reason for this is I want to be able to release updates / downloads simply through my own app. So the XML would contain an update name (the bit it would display on screen), the url of the file it would need to download if selected and the location it needs to be saved to on the device.
The reason for the requirement of this app is we released a version of CM7 OS for the Nook tablet. It was released free of charge, it's not for making profit it was just a project we decided to have a go at basically just to see if it was possible, I'd like to be able to release an app that makes minor updates and alterations to their install, this is mainly for the people that are using it from SD card, the internal version is used by people who are happy doing these things manually so it's not so important to them.
I was looking at possibly building something myself but by the time I learn how to create the app myself the requirement probably won't really be needed any more.
I have no real idea how difficult this would be to create although it sounds relatively simple. I also have no idea what this sort of thing costs, obviously being a free project the money has to come from my own pocket so I'm hoping it's not worth too much.
Is the above possible and would anybody be interested in doing it for me?
I look forward to all your replies
Thanks
