Is there a way to use existing websites as an Android app?

I need your experience to understand how an Android application can communicate with an existing website.

  • Using the same web interface, but should appear as an Android app.
  • Using the same database when we try to search, and the result should be displayed in the application
  • Using the same authentication, therefore, if we accept the username / password in our Android application, it must use an existing website script that can authenticate, and everything that is returned should be displayed in the application.

thanks

Well, you can use webview to display pages that should be optimized for the best use on the phone, you can query the database and show the answer on android - for this you need to build a parser on a web page that can accept some kind of request and return a response, for example, in json or xml format. The same goes for authentication, it’s very simple really

As I know, you need to access the website’s web services in order to return data from the website to the application.
