Hello everybody....I am new to Elgg. and also new to this group as well. We are working on a Social Networking app on Android Platform. And for this purpose we have to do the following tasks.
1.User can create their accounts
2. Giving different privileges to different kind of users
3. User can create a group and they can add other members in this group
4. Storing map locations of the users on back-end database
5. User can message each other and they can post something on their wall
6. a User (Manager) can assign a list of task to other members of the group (sub-employees)
Now the question is that can we do these all mentioned tasks by using elgg on back-end. If YES. then
1. How we'll connect android app with elgg
2. How the DB will work and
3. How we will parse the data from DB and what will be the role of Elgg. there....
Any kind of suggestion will be helpful for us...Thanks in Advance.
Hope for a Positive response from the community

You must log in to post replies.Do not post the same question to multiple groups please. I've removed the duplicate posts.
You have multiple vague questions that would require very long answers in order to be useful. Start by reading through the docs: http://learn.elgg.org and then concentrate on a single problem at a time.
Ok....sorry for the duplications. Now I've a very simple Question. can I use Elgg. for android development ??
You can do all of these with elgg system. I'm working on a same project. But it seems elgg can not handle user privileges.
For storing user locations, you need to develop a custom plugin (I'm working on the locations plugin. I will share it as soon as I finish. However there is a commercial plugin for this purpose.)
You should use elgg web services to connect your android app with your elgg app.
for a sample android app that uses elgg checkout this:

@Whaeed Yes you can use elgg for Android dev, but you need to build it yourself. Juhoo left a link to the elgg docs that you will need if you want to create an Android App for your elgg network,
