Android sending data to server (very little base knowledge)
<p>I am looking to create a hobby project to lock my brother's apartment doors from his droid phone. I want to setup a simple server app on his pc that will control this from the server side, and have android just send some data to a website on some port or other in a simple view when a button is pressed.</p>

<p>I've found several similar questions but all of them assume more base knowledge than what I have. Things like 'just fire up WebService' or 'use raw sockets' are above my head for now. I have no idea what JSON -is- so it doesn't help me to hear that I should use it.</p>

<p>What I'm asking is what ways can I do what I need to on android and which is probably the best method? I want to do this the -right- way so I can add more features later like sending data back to confirm lock and monitoring for last time his door was opened.</p>

<p>I'm not asking for source, I'll do my homework.</p>
