Oh, yes.. the Google AppEngine group. Thanks for the remainder.

You'll find answers in the Google AppEngine group.

There are reports of inexplicable problems but error reporting and robustness will be improved upon I am sure (if that's indeed the issue causing some of the problems).

Thanks for the info Megha. Hopefully I'll get to play with this stuff soon.

Muthu Ramadoss brings up an interesting question. I know App Engine is still in early stages, how reliable is it right now? Has anybody had any outages? Storage space is unlimited I think, buts just bandwidth that they are capping right?

This is one of the ways you can do that:

Implement a REST server in App Engine, which is fairly easy to do: App Engine provides the Webapp framework with get/post request

handlershttp://code.google.com/appengine/docs/webapp/App

These request handlers perform CRUD operations on your data using the App Engine's DataStore APIs

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/datastore/creatinggettinganddel.

On the Android side you can use the inbuilt Apache Http Client library's methods to interact with the REST server.

You can send and receive data in JSON format, for sending/receiving JSON, there is django JSONDecoder/Deocder in Python for AppEngine and JSONObject in java on the Android side.

Hope this helps!

Actually yes, I was thinking about setting up a web service so that my android app can access my content in Big Table. Is that easy to do? I ask because I am not familiar with Big Table or Python. I've done it in java and C# before.

Thanks for the info.

Hi,

Did you have any specific questions about using App Engine with Android. I might be able to help.

I'm planning on using App Engine for the social website side of my app. (I just got my invite this week) Is anybody else using Google App Engine? If not, what are you using?
