development help needed please

We've gotten some work done on our app but we really do need help - either free or paid help because we need to make progress. Our home screen is a login screen and we prompt for username and password to login which is then sent to our website and if validated we bundle up some data (Json) and send it back to the app which takes us to our Home Screen which is 'Menu Simple' with each line item sent back becoming a menu selection - we've gotten this far. What we need to do next and where we need help is that once someone selects one of the 'line items' (menu selections) that we've shown on that screen - we need to take that information and pass it to another screen where the user can select some attributes (which we display with a 3 drop down menus) and with some sort of 'post' or 'send' button that will take the 'line item' selected along with the three drop down menu selections and send that information back to our website (which we'll process) and then send back a reply that says something like "Done" or 'Confirmed' (some port of positive acknoweldgement that what they asked for has been done). so - basically we're stuck and need help in these areas 1) Login Screen doesn't open even after loading screen with "login required' setting. 2) How do we create screens dynamically by passing unique screen id's from previous screen? 3) how do we add text on the top of the buttons line of the 'Menu Buttons' plugin? 4) how do we add form fields (a few drop down menus) to the screen we go to after 'menu buttons' and obtain data from those drop downs along with the 'item selected' that was passed from the prior screen? we're looking for help asap and all replies would be appreciated. Even though the app will be free and our service is free we're willing to pay for help if you think you can be of help to us. thanks in advance....

OK, Android I can help Would this be for 2.2 or for Android 4 and up? In other words, do you use the old Buzztouch or the new and shiny BT 3.0?

Here's is what I could do for you. 1) Login Screen doesn't open even after loading screen with "login required' setting. I haven't looked at this plugin for a long time and certainly not for BT 3.0. In version 2.1.9 things did not work very well either. Right off the bat, I cannot help you through this forum, as I'd have to look at both your code and the BT code to see what needs to be done. The languages required would be both Java in the phone / tablet and PHP on the server. 2) How do we create screens dynamically by passing unique screen id's from previous screen? It is called loadScreen. To see how it works, create a menu that leads to another menu in the usual manner (click on Screens etc.) Then study the code and you'll see how it is done. I have software that does that automatically, for hundreds of options in the main menu if need be, so I can help with this one. The language needed for this would be PHP on the server side. 3) how do we add text on the top of the buttons line of the 'Menu Buttons' plugin? It is not quite clear what you need here. Please post one image of what is not working now and another of what you would like to be. 4) how do we add form fields (a few drop down menus) to the screen we go to after 'menu buttons' and obtain data from those drop downs along with the 'item selected' that was passed from the prior screen? This requires Java programming. It can be quite daunting if you have not done it before. I can help you with this too. There you go. PM me if you want to discuss things further.
