Do u have the mobile version? Or only desktop version?

only desktop, i want to have a drop down of the categories of products and a search bar and the ability to buy products

the sites if you were to google them are 'Go International' and 'The Party Monster'

Thanks

You actually could get something like wptouch, and then create a simple webview app of your site.

It's the easiest way to go about it.

A more expensive way would be for you to hire someone to build an app for your site from scratch.

Well I wanted to be the one who created it from scratch

for now

how do you created a drop down list with each item going to a html link?

To be honest I am not sure, as I am pretty new to the app making biz myself. If you look at the link to my apps on the android market in my sig you will see that I mostly do soundboards and wallpaper apps.

I just last week learned how to randomize textviews, and am starting to learn how to make games...kinda.

how do you created a drop down list with each item going to a html link?

make a spinner and have the onclicks link to the page.

send it to a webview if you want to keep them in the app, or use intents if you want the browser to do it for you.

how do I A: do the onclick to go to a http link? and B: how do I use webview?

I followed a simple tutorial in using webview and it doesn't like the line:

WebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

following this tutorial Android Web View Tutorial - A simple web browser - YouTube

first if your wanna create an app 4 ur website ,that means your have to know about jquerymobile and phonegap..before all check some information about mobile website from jquerymobile c om...you cant make or use it with "webview ".. that is bullshit...if only you use webview than all codes that runs the web site into your app that means your app really ll be crashed or forced....
