Hello dear members,

What I really want to do is to actually import data from a windows app to my android app and do some calculations there. The problem is I don't know how capture those data from a windows app?! because it's third party and not programmed by me.

Waiting for you response
Regards;

What I have tried:

I actually don't know what should I try or which topic do I have to study about or even don't know whether it's possible or not.

It's not possible to give a good answer without knowing what Kind of data-export (later Import?) is possible from your windos app. There could be many ways... file, remoting, a stream, scraping, an email send by the app... so how is your "data" represented?

1 solution

You must look how you can save or export data from the windows app like saving a file. For this file you must develop some mechanism to import it. For example setting up an secure server where this data is hosted.

Than you must explore the data format and somehow import it in your app.

Tip: Look for some plain data format like text or csv which is easy to parse.
