You will have to write a service layer in your CMS. Then data which are required for the android app will be exposed as a data service from your Joomla CMS. Please check the link for more info.

How to convert opencart into android native mobile app and iPhone

I have created a e commerce website using opencart tool and now I need to convert this into a native mobile app (Android and IOS). How can I implement this mvc structure of opencart into mobile app.
Is there any other way to convert????

P.S. i m developer from opencartextionsion.in. I m posting link of OpenCart Android App because O.P. need to get android app for his website and help O.P. to increase more sales
We created Android App that have all basic features of OpenCart website. We added some uniqueness which you can not find any where. Like Changing Color of app from Admin panel,Customizing text of app. More over app consist of Push Notification using FCM.
To get more information please visit OpenCart Android App. Support: Live Chat and TIcket system
There is no tool available to convert your website into native mobile apps. Most of the mobile app builder converts your website in to web view only. It will be very slow and not user friendly.
You must hire an android developer to build your mobile app. API is needed to sync with website.
Other wise you can use the ready made mobile app script available in the market

Developing iOS xcode that connects to codeigniter data

I have an existing web app that I have written in CodeIgniter using a MySQL database.
I now want to learn how to develop an iPhone app for the web app.
I have had a look at a lot of tutorials about xcode and iphone development but I have yet to see one about connecting and displaying data from my database.
I have seen the topic of RESTful come up a few times but am unsure if this is the direction I need to go?
If anyone has had success in building an iphone app that connects to a MySQL DB, would they be kind enough to share some tips or tuts on getting started.
I was working in a similar project: http://www.savemeeting.com It consists in an app (iOS, Android and Blackberry) and a Web showing the same information. Basically you need a Web Service (RESTful, XML-RPC, SOAP...) server and a Web Service client in your app.
I recomend you to write a RESTful server, if you use Code Igniter, you can use this library: https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-restserver and then write the client in your iOS app (sorry, I have no knowledge to guide you in this part).

IOS app integration with facebook

I dont have any idea about IOS development, and I code the web services for IOS apps. We have been given an app that should support login with facebook and login/register of its own.
Now, implementing login/register for the app is not an issue, but I need to know two things:-
1.) How do we implement a login in the IOS app using facebook.
2.) The app should be able to show and save certain events on facebook.
How would I/we implement these two functions. Do we implement these using web side code or IOS code..
Can anyone point me in the right direction..
Thanks
PS: I got to know about facebook-connect while I was selecting the tags ;)
Check the Facebook SDK. They have some really helpful links and tutorials. The Facebook repository from which you can get the ios SDK from is at this link. Also Facebook's developer portal is an awesome place to get started. If you have any further questions please let me know, I might be able to answer them.

Android Php web application

Ok, so I am very new to android but I have some experience with PHP. I have a website for my college festival where there is a login system and registered users can take the quiz everything.( I am using Codeigniter as my PHP framework
Now I have been asked to make an android app for the festival. So , my question is , How do I connect my android application to the stuff on my website.
For example: I have a login system on my website and I want to reflect the same functionality in my android app i.e How to send the username and password to be authenticated and how the request will be processed on the server side? How do I connect my android application to my database ?
Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Thank you very much.
P.S : Yes, I get that I can very easily just make a mobile version of the website as suggested by many people. But since I want to learn Android, I think this would be a good opportunity for me to do so.
You may write a service using PHP which takes required parameters and responds with JSON Object response. In your app you can use HTTPClient and JSonObject to parse the response and populate the app. Here is a sample on how to do Android PHP MySQL example
If you don't need native mobile APP, then as other members suggested, you may add mobile css to your existing site.
