So I want to know the basic idea of how a app can get its data from your own server. We use APIs to get data from other data sources like OpenWeather . But now if we want to create our own source how would you do that? I just want to know the basic idea not the code.

Thanks

Basic idea would be:

  1. get a free hosting somewhere (there's a lot of PHP hosting websites with MySQL)
  2. create a simple REST API
  3. get some data into your database (create a simple CMS to add data to the DB)
  4. make your Android app call your website just like you did with the weather API

TL;DR: create your own API
