I was trying to write an android app to help people do easier searches on multiple websites like craiglist, ebay ..etc I am not sure where really to start from, or the name of the technology I would be using. To make it more accurate question, these websites are all forms based that you either post stuffs or retreive stuffs through searching. How can I make my android app actually in which it will ask the user for a item name (that part I know) and then send item name to say craiglist so it gets the results back?
I was thinking of copying the url that is displayed on my broswer when I click search on any of the website and using the same link with string manipulation to include whats needed. Is this correct? Any other ideas are I know? I am kinda all over the place, but I need a starting point.
