Well, with no prior coding experience then it will be. Making a suscful app and learning the basics of programming are 2 compleatly different things. When you learn the basics you learn about data structure's, mutators, accessors, different ways of accessing variables, ect. Most of these can be generally applied to any programming launage (but might require research to find the correct synatics (the formatting/layout of the code)) and then you get into the more specific stuff for that programming launage. Most of this you will need to be able to use without thinking about it before you even start to make a app unless if you use a app maker (one which works through GUI and not Coding).
Then after all of that, you got the even harder job of linking it to the website databases which are stored in a SQL data base on the server (of which their are many types like SQLlite, MySQL, ect). These are also protected so you would need to ask for the login, and then understanding them is another matter all together.
So, it would never be an easy task no matter what, expically if you haven't any experience to start from.
And then as pointed out, having this app would mean you woudent want to hand you phone over to anyone else to look at stuff, as they might find it. So you would either not have many users or would need to make a false identy for the app's icon and stuff with then a login screen maybe hidden within the app.
