title: Google App Engine and android
body: <p>I am new to android development and finding it difficult to understand some topics. I intend to develop a polling app where I want to post questions from my server which gets updated in the app and responses from users get stored in my online database. I do not want any Web interface of my application.</p>
  
  <p>I know how to create an android app using eclipse, android sdk and ADT.
  Also after reading on web I understand I need backend to be Google App Engine for my server and Database(I need external database).</p>
  
  <p>1)My first problem is people use python to develop appengine side code and I do not know python, I just know basic of java(by android programming), so should I use appengine SDK for Java?</p>
  
  <p>2) Do i necessarily need to install "Google plugin for eclipse" for coding server side program, or just the appengine sdk would do? The plugin has a feature of "App engine connected android project" , Is it very useful?</p>
  
  <p>3)I read that I need to use GWT SDK for programming of webapp with GAE, but as i said I don't want any web interface, will i require GWT?</p>
  
  <p>Any help regarding how to proceed for my application will be very useful.
  Thank You.</p>
