How hard would this be to make?

[klister]

Sp recently joined the university and in my field theres an moderate ammount of programming in java and at the end of this year we have to make our own project. Doesnt need to be advanced just a complete project with all documentation that comes with it and ive already started to think about my own project.

Im a, well to be honest a total beginner really so bare that in mind. What i want my project to do is an android app that logs on to my user on my universitys site and collect info from a pdf file wich is our schedule and update my program wich is going to look alot nicer than just opening a pdf. So instead of going to my computer every day and logging on ill just go to my app and press update to see if any changes are made to our schedule.

I have no real idea how hard this would be to complete so would be nice if someone could say if im in over my head or its doable bearing in mind my skill level. I do have a reasonable ammount of time and books and teachers and are willing to learn but if its a to big of task i might aswell go for something easier.

What device are you using?

I wonder if this question might get more response in one of the other sub-forums...?

Wouldn't be too hard, but it really depends on your programming experience. The hardest part of an android app for me is setting it up for android. The specific functions of the app are just as easy as they would be on a non-android app.

As a total beginner, it might be kind of difficult. If I were you, I'd give it a shot, just make a simple "Hello World" android app, and if you feel confident from there keep going.
