    Google API's are provide with JavaScript. Android uses Webkit which support JavaScript. There is WebView you can use to add web content to your app,

    mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:wave()");

    That will call JavaScript function wave()

    thanks for your quick and valuable reply.
    i want to know if i can make the content formatted and displayed in a list within my app.
    for example: if i want to open a news page(response with a XML or JSON file that i can read), i want the news display in my app in a list, not in a web browser.
    is this possible?

    thanks
