Answer 2

Essentially you are trying to make an app that is a chat room. Well the thing about that is that it would need to update very fast, otherwise it would be more like you are leaving a message. You need to set up a source that takes the code and puts it on the screen of any other user in the chat room. Doing so you need a variable that transfers the text you want to send instantly. You also might want to add a white list to censor some words. If you want go to Facebook and check how their code is made. It can give you some hints. I have no idea how to make something that sends messages that are instant or have a slight delay. Also you will need to add something to show previous messages. Another thing is that for example you were going to use cloud to transfer messages, well the problem is that you will need a storage to hold the messages and print them on the screen when someone runs your app. Also you need a code that kicks out the person if they are not acting otherwise the chat room will get full. You need to add some short delay between messages, when you are to send them to a storage if 2 messages in the same chat room are being sent to the same chat room storage it can cause some problems for one of the people. You will need to set a limit to the amount of people in a chat room at the same time, if too many it can risk the app glitching out. I do not know which coding language you should use, but this app should be done with other people, you may not be the best at all of these things so get specialized people to help you, I have never seen an advance app/game that doesn't have other coders/artists other than the creator. I don't think you will find any step-by-step instructions because this is advanced for average coders, good luck attempting/creating a chat room app. If you can make it I hope to download it. You might have to research how online chat rooms work, I am no expert coder so hope this info helps have a great rest of your day. One last thing, chat rooms can be dangerous it is like social media. :D

Answer 3

In theory, it's relatively simple. However, in practice, getting this right will require some skills and knowledge in UI and database programming.

OK, the UI isn't too challenging, but if this app is going public, then you'd better make sure your database security is tight, otherwise you could be hacked.

If it were me, I would use Xamarin because I like to program in C#, and Xamarin allows you to create android apps using C#.

Then I would use a Web service like WCF to handle the calls between app and database, because it is more secure than connecting your app directly to the database.

It'll take time and probably feel like you want to tear your hair out at times, but it's a great development project to really sink your teeth into, so do some research and go for it. Step-by-step instructions are a bit beyond the scope of this Q&A, but please feel free to ask for more help if you're stuck.

I wish you the best of luck, sir!
