website to api

I'm semi-confused. If you were meaning a .apk file then I have the answer, if not then I can't help because I'm not familiar with that.

But to convert a website to an android application what you would do is create an instance of a WebView. This allows for ordinary html to go inside. You will need to look at the documentation and figure out what the static method is that tells the operating system that you don't wish to utilize nor provide a prompt to the user for the default web browser. Instead all of your web content will be viewed inside of your own ViewGroup container native to your application. There is also some constant you'll need to pass to the operating system to also state that for any hyperlinks...you wish to launch those inside of the layout as well and not the system's currently configured default browser. Good luck!

Also it might be worth trying to take advantage of the localization feature that Android provides which may be a great advantage to implementing a website with its' content and code encapsulated within your Android application because you can have the opportunity to have a website that adapts to the each respective user's locale setting on their mobile device. In order to do that you will need to spend a lot of time adding a lot of String elements with their values for different languages I'd imagine. However I do have absolutely no experience in what I am talking about but in my opinion I would try to fit as much of the content as possible in this String file. You may even consider cramming for example all the text content of a "p" element in the html code under one string element. Definitely try to include any navigational strings required to use the application if the off chance you decide to not utilize symbols and instead go with text for your list items in your ul in the nav element for example ( html5 I don't know I guess you would use a div if you don't like html5...All I learned ;))

Here you go. I found some good resources for you. http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/index.html
