Yes it's possible, read up on Sockets in Java, you'll have to implement a
server to match players based on location.

Feel free to come back with some more specific questions when you have done
some reading and played around with android a bit.

they can be anywhere in the world. Is it possible? Whats the
feasibility? Wonder if a player can invite another player who lives in

Bluetooth is just for close quarters, you want two players on two phones
within 10 feet?

Let's say it is simply a turn based game then do i have to use a
Bluetooth API for that? I precisely want a game app that can be played
by 2 players on 2 android supported smartphones.
Thanks

You need to be a lot more specific : Multiplayer on the same phone,
multiplayer over the internet, mass multiplayer ?

Beside, what is it you don't know how to do ?

Tell us more and we'll do our best.

You can do this over Http or using TCP (or UDP) directly. It depends
on if you want a turn based game and if you plan to build other
clients (Borwser based?) etc.
