Hi all,
I created this thread to collect informations, suggestions and links for who want to start learning developing android applications, whitout being an expert developer.
I like programming (vb6, vb.net ) but I don't know anything about android and linux, and just a little about java... Now I bought an Hero and I met android world... I downladed Eclipse IDE, Android SDK and I starded with dev guide on SDK... I just take a look to helloandorid application... it works! and now? In the xml layout seems easy to add View like buttons or text... but how can I handle to the user actions like the button click? in vb is simple to manage the buttonpressed event...!
If someone knows some simple guides about java, eclipse and android, please let links on this thread!
Thank you!
This one's awesome for learning how to create widgets:

here are some other resources you could easily find by using google search:

http://nexsoftware.net/wp/2009/07/29/tutorial-creating-a-custom-analogclock-widget/
http://www.anddev.org/index.php
Other than that, just start from the simplest Hello World -examples on Google's own Android site.
I'm going to start leurning Android programming
If ill find nice links i will post them here. Is there btw a way to program inside visual studio? Cuz all tutorials on the net are using eclipse.
You'll need to use Eclipse to my knowledge as its all Java based. The other alternatives are the IntelliJ plugin and doing it all from Command line/Text Editor.
Back to the Topic, I'm just trying my hand at a little Android development this week too, the tutorials and manuals at developer.android.com have been great!
Another thing, while I remember, if you've done any sort of .NET/ASP.NET development before you should find it a breeze, apart from the lack of Visual Studio (best IDE that ever was), they're VERY similar compared to some other languages/technologies I've used.
HeY Furios, Im new to android dev also, so if you don't mind, I would like to follow you and share any info I find with you and to whom ever else would like any info...Thanx
SDK 2.1
Hi Guys,
I went onto the SE developer site and got he x10 SDK, but it only gives me the choice for a 1.6 virtual Machine. Is there another place that I have to go to get the SDK for 2.1?
Thanks.
It would be cool to learn how to develop roms as well...or is that much deeper?
Well guy's start here on this thread first >>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667298
Made me think
need minor help!
im actually developing a few games, but im running into some seemingly basic issues, that i seem i cannot get to work. basically a button mash game, single/multi player, well on multi player i cannot for my life get the multi player functions to work, as in in the end the game already knows who the winner is based on an integer score, then it is supposed to use an sqlite database to take the highest scored player such as P1 or P2 and allow them to input there name to be permanently displayed. it cannot seem to differentiate using IF statements, but the feature does work with single player flawlessly, i may link source code if asked, TY
Hey guys, first off I'm very new to developing apps for android.
however there are a lot of missing apps for android, which I'd like to develop.
Now there's a radiostation called Radio538 which has an app for streaming on the iphone, but not on the hero android phone.
Therefore I'm going to develop it, I've already setup the SDK etc.
However I was wondering if you guys could help me in the right direction/point out some tips?!?
Thanks

Man this is all Java. So use the Google Android Documents in the development page. Find some books and tuts in the internet and you will make it

If you've done any java work before the process is fairly straight-forward (depending on the complexity of the app you wish to create).
If you want the app to be just semi complex its going to take some time if you are not at all experienced in coding java.
But start out with setting up the sdk and eclipse and then read the documentation on the most common classes like activity, fragments, services, views and so on
One thing that helped me as a novice coder was setting up the layout of your UI. Text views, buttons, etc even if the backend stuff isnt fully functional yet...you can get there in time. Setup all your UI layouts in xml...the tutorials will help.
Hi all,
Thanks your help first. I am new to android development. I would like to develop a small offline dictionary on my mobile. I don't know how to save the data for my app. I would like to save the data with my app in my mobile. I am using android mobile. I don't know how to do that. Please may someone give some suggestions.
Thanks
Hello Firstly welcome to the forum!!
For creating an app you have to hire an Android application developer or you can discuss with the person with the depth knowledge of android development. There are many websites and companies, through which you can create your app.
Thanks
Hello everyone, i want to say sorry to mods in advance if i'm duplicating someone else's topic.
I'm looking for a way of porting apk apps to windows 10 mobile. There was possibility of doing that before Microsoft closed their project Astoria if I remember right. Now when I tried to find any info about it a lot of websites saying different things.
Thanks in advance for any info or tutorial.
Astoria is dead long time ago and no way to port android apps for official W10M builds...
