I have just developed a simple android application. As this is my first project I created a simple activity which has few text fields where a user can enter their values.
Now I want to add google app engine (gae) support so that I can save these values to the gae DataStore. so I read about how to do this. 1. First thing I did is to RightClick on my android project & select google -> Generate App engine backend. This generated a few new classes for me in my application package as I can see - - CloudEndpointsUtil.java - GCMIntentService.java - RegisterActivity.java 2. It also generated the below classes in the folder: endpoint-libs\libdeviceinfoendpoint-v1\deviceinfoendpoint\deviceinfoendpoint-v1-generated-source package: com.xxx.deviceinfoendpoint - Deviceinfoendpoint.java - DeviceinfoendpointRequest.java - DeviceinfoendpointRequestInitializer.java 3. It also generated the below classes in the folder: endpoint-libs\libmessageEndpoint-v1\messageEndpoint\messageendpoint-v1-generated-source package: com.xxx.messageEndpoint - MessageEndpoint.java - MessageEndpointRequest.java - MessageEndpointRequestInitializer.java package: com.xxx.messageEndpoint.model - CollectionResponseMessageData.java - Key.java - MessageData.java Now, my confusion is that I am kind of not able to join all the dots clearly. What I am trying to do is simple: take text values from screen & save them in the DataStore on the gae. My confusion is that has gae created this framework for me (above generated classes) which I can use to save my code. As I read we first need to create Entities, then add property/values to them and finally save that in DataStore. So do I have to use the above classes to save my information that I can get from my GUI or do I need to write my entity code somewhere in these classes that have been generated for me. I am currently working on Dev App engine server and have - 1. Changed LOCAL_ANDROID_RUN in CloudEndpointsUtil to true. 2. Gave PROJECT_NUMBER to random number "100" in GCMIntentService. Also do I really need to use RegisterActivity in my MainActivity onCreate for what I am trying to do. Any pointers will be really helpful.
