If you have no idea, then it is time to read some introductory material on android development, see, for instance "Getting Started"[^].

You need persistent storage, hence, yes a database would fit (you know Android provides SQLite, see "Android - SQLite Database Tutorial"[^]. You could as well use a file as persistent storage.

thanks , im going to look into those now :)
another small question , do i have to use xamarin? or what andriod sdk would u prefer?

You don't need to use Xamarin for developing Android Apps. You do need to use Xamarin if you want to develop Android Apps with the C# programming language (instead of Java).

alright :) do u use the xamarin studio , or can u also just use the xamarin plugin for visual studios?

CPallini 20-Oct-15 6:58am

I don't use any of them.
