After some considerations the conclusion is - in order to fully utilize my 
Android phone and tablet (both from Samsung), I must learn some Android 
programming.
But after googling for learning the best Android programming environment, 
there is more confusion then before.

 

Please could someone clarify, what is the main difference between Online 
programming like Andromo, the one like http://www.buzztouch.com/? And of 
course, there is Android SDK, which seems most difficult for a beginner?

As I'm totally new to Android programming and programming at all. All my 
experiences  are until now limited more to computer hardware :-)

Which way suites best for a beginner whose first goal would be to create an 
app for collecting monthly power meter readings :-) ?

 

Below is description of the task to consider if these even support given 
task.

 

I have one account with 2 main readings (day and night) + 8 additional 
heaters consumption meters for local analyzing in MS Excel.

Every month first day I write numbers onto paper, then enter all to MS 
Excel and finally log into energy portal to register readings for monthly 
billing.

 

Plus I have also some other accounts just with 2 main readings - day and 
night.

 

Always only 2 main readings (day+night) will be sent for billing by SMS to 
local Energy supplier.

 

Objects I need are: 

1. Start page with dropdown menu for account selection

2. Buttons: next, go to end

3. 8 numeric Data entry field pages, which each one reading, displaying 
last reading until new is entered (How such object is named?)

Maybe I must limit app to one account only, else displaying previous 
reading requires probably too dedicated database lookup

 

4. Overview final result screen displaying all 6 readings with function 
buttons:

 

Function buttons on last screen are: 

1.Send SMS to predefined number(take 2 first readings and create SMS 
content C 00000000000 A 0000000 D 000000 N 000000

(Customer ID, Agreement No, Day, Night)

 2. Send comma separated 6 readings to my Email for importing manually into 
MS Excel table.

 

All ideas and remarks are welcomed.
