help needed in understanding an android app

[aliyesami]

i am using a development kit from Atmel for InternetOFThings (IOT) called SAMW25-Xplained-pro.
There is absolutely no documentation about this app and I need to either modify this app or have my own app since
i need to feed more data to the server .
can someone please try to reverse engineer this app and tell me how its working ? its not a commercial product.

since iam a new member i can't post links or upload files so here so how can i give you the file or the link?

This is a commercial product marketed by Atmel. It's not an Android app. It looks to be Windows based. There is a forum and documentation here ATSAMW25 I doubt we will be able to help you with this.

SAMW25 is a development kit that is sold with free applications for people to customize and develop their code. AVRforIOT is an android app which is free downloadable at the link given by Atmel.
ok if I want to write my own app what would be my starting points? what information will I need ?

It doesn't look like Atmel has released the source code for the Android application, but it appears to be a simple wrapper for a network address to get data from the board. If that's the case, I'm sure the socket and address you need to connect to are in the board's documentation somewhere, and you could build a simple web app using the NetworkConnect sample code from the Android Developer site.

I tried to import it but I get the following errors :
"Failed to sync Gradle project 'provision_ap_app'
cause: failed to find target with hash string 'android-17 in C:\Users\user1\AppData\Loca\Android\sdk1"

and also
"

Ignored Files:
--------------
The following files were *not* copied into the new Gradle project; you
should evaluate whether these are still needed in your project and if
so manually move them:

* ic_launcher-web.png
* proguard-project.txt

It might be an Eclipse project. Android Studio is relatively new.

I know there is a way to convert them, but I'm not sure how that's done.
