I am very new to both Android development & Azure Mobile Services. I have a decent knowledge of Java so Android development is not proving to be too difficult. Although, I am struggling to gain a good knowledge of working with Azure Mobile Services.
I have little knowledge of REST API's but will be able to learn quite quickly if required. My main concerns/questions are as followed:
Can I build my Android app by using Mobile Services Data & API's alone. i.e the simple table values and the basic CRUD API's?
If not, how should I approach building the application?
I want to cater for multiple column queries, table relationships (1 .. n , inheritance) and I also would like to use JSON objects as parameters for a more lightweight communication rather than passing my full Java objects.
Also, is the possibility of setting up an SSL available?
Any help would be appreciated.
