You will need little more than storage - some kind of server software storing data and also some communication protocol for user handsets. This could be tricky. I implemented highscore for my game recently ( http://www.yook.de/getlines ) I used: PicoWebRemoting to create REST-Service ( Just simple class with 2 methods - push to push entry and pull top pull entries since some period: http://www.pribluda.de/lines-highscore/Highscore/pull?since=0 ) On the client side you will need to parse JSON (native in android, though I use my library for databinding: http://github.com/ko5tik/jsonserializer ) Then you will have to find an answer to following questions: - how to prevent doulbe insertion of high scrores - how do you deal with lack of connectivity - when do you pull highscore data from server to device - how do you secure your service from pranksters inserting bogus entries (no credentials stored in APK are secure) So you may choose to go for some embeddable highscore service (there are some - grok this list) instead doing everything yourself -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
