Andrew Mackenzie, Firstly, thank you very much for your answer. I'm very new to using AppEngine and GWT, so I'm not very sure I understood everything. I still got a lot of homework to do.
I'm following a GWT + AppEngine tutorial and so far I'm able to create the web client and use the datastore with no problems. Now, Google provides many ways to deploy a backend to GAE. Including now, they have a Mobile Backend Starter. So, where do you think I should start from? GWT or Android? I got a bit confused when you said I should build one app with the server code and GWT generated JS combined. Did you mean a GWT app or Android one? I'm sorry if my questions don't make much sense. But, I'm just starting working with it. Once again, thank you very much.
