Tutorial for porting php app to Android?
Does anyone know a tutorial or book that gives a good step-by-step for porting a web browser based PHP application to an Android app? I've seen some stuff for the various steps that are required but nothing that ties it all together. Basically, I have a PHP app that works fine in my browser on my PC, but I want to create an app for Android phones. Here's what it does in Chrome:

1- User logs in (if not yet logged in), hosted (remote) database looks up UserID and sets a cookie on the client. If a user doesn't have an account, they can register an email address and password to create an account.

2- UserID is used to pull n rows of data and display them on a page, ie 3 rows with 3 columns in each row. This is dynamic and could be 12 rows of 3 columns.

3- User can click on any row to get a detail view of that row information.

4- Android camera using QR Reader app (can I build this into my app?) can snapshot a QR code, which leads to a URL that updates a row in the remote database, returns updated row information to the client (ie row 5 column 3 gets set to a value of +1 or -10)

5- It would be handy to store the database values locally on the Android device, but it's absolutely required to be updated in the remote database. Therefore a local sqlLite db isn't really needed.

That's pretty much it. Also, I assume the trickiest part here is working with the QR code. I've tried running the app through the Android browser but it always caches and I can't add anything to the URL string because the QR code is set to a specific URL, so I need to totally refresh the browser activity each time for the database change to take effect. I'd also like to keep the URL stuff hidden so that people can't update the data without the QR code (by just refreshing the browser).

If anyone knows on online example/tutorial of this or even a book that deals with porting PHP stuff (or any server-side scripting) to Android, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
