Why do they spam the general section?
Go to the android development And hacking section on XDA.
There are quite a few guides there.
Go to Barnes and noble, they have tons of books on programming android applications, use Google.com with billions of pages online, Google has only indexed .004% of it bit with that margin of a percentage not only can you find android porn you might fine Java application programming

Hi all,
re: App development.
I have some experience of JAVA and have a fair bit of experience with JS and PHP, so coding is not alien to me.
I have come across a few things where I have thought "an App would be great for that!" and would like to investigate App development. I have read through a couple of tutorials, but they all assume more Android experience than I have.
I'm not after specifics from board members here, but wondered if anyone knew of an 'Android Apps 101" or an Android App development alternative to the famous 'Hello World' intros there are for most languages.
Thanks for any leads people can give me.
I think the Android Developer's Guide is great http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
Just started developing a small app myself a few days ago, and the biggest problem so far is Java itself. The android development itself is really easy. You can create UIs via drag & drop when using eclipse + android plugin and the rest is well documented in the guide I posted.
:/ how I managed to miss that I don't know...
thanks very much - exactly what I'm after

Can you make a Remote Play app???????

Like Playstation 3 remote play? Probably not, it'd be ridiculously difficult.
Here's a question I've not seen asked yet....
I've just started using Google's appinventor and I'm wondering if there is any way of loading an ".apk" file into it. If not, how can I convert an .apk file into an appinventor project file?
Guess I must be posting in the wrong place!

no idea, sorry
Also, I tried app inventor for a bit... I guess it does what it says it will do, ie cater to the needs of non-dev people who want to make apps
But coming from a dev background, I don't see myself working with it too long, just to get familiar with the android OS. Once I do that, its back to good old Eclipse

Where would I start learning about programming for Android? I'm a total beginner, but I learn quickly
Well, is not difficult as long as you have some programming knowledge.
It won't make a big difference if is Android or other platform
Specifically for android:
http://developer.android.com/index.html
And google search

There are some basic tutorials on doing certain things in the Development section. Maybe start doing some reading and trying to edit some files, try a creating a theme etc to get acquainted perhaps?

What languages have you programmed in?
Hello,
I'm fairly new to developing in general and I am some what intimidated by what I've been told I may have to learn to develop for Android.
Here's what I've done so far by reading the threads:
I've downloaded the latest Android SDK and its tools
I read through the ADB man page and have created my path to my Device
I know how to push, pull, log and from Terminal.
I was told that I may need to learn Java to develop for Android. If this is the case, do any of you recommend specific books?
If so - could you put the Amazon link in a reply? Or maybe just the author's name?
Thank you in return.

Actually i would recommend you to start devving by making themes because it only involves editing xmls in apk and changing images...it will also help you understand how to decompile and recompile apk which is the most basic of modding!!!

Which is creating themes, not developing, they are two totally different things.

I was thinking about making some themes for devices and what not. So if you have any resources PM me - I'd be interested in that as well.

Thank you thewadegeek - I'll be doing some researching. Ubuntu 12.04 is fine for developing right? or would I need something else?

Hi There
Ubuntu is fine for development, You're going to want to install eclipse. You're really tackling 2 things here, Java Development and how that applies to Android.
If you're starting from the very beginning then some good resources are.
Android Developer web site [ developer.android.com ]
This should be the first place you go to for android development, it contains the documentation for the android framework as well as some additional howto's etc. The Installing the SDK [ developer.android.com/sdk/installing ] will guide you through getting eclipse setup and ready for Android Development. You should then be able to follow the Building Your First App [ developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp ] guide, to create your first Android app.
For Java Development in General the Oracle website has some good resources.
Oracle Java Tutorials Index [ docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial ]
If you're completely new to software development then you'll want to read The Java Language Section [ docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java ] , this explains Object Oriented Programming and it's conecpts. I would probably look at the Get Started Section [ docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted ] also, although you maybe able to get by with the Android Stuff.
Hope That Helps and Good Luck!

Hi I've already gotten the Android SDK and as previous users have given me, I also have Java books and Android development books as well but I'm happy to try another thing out as well. Thanks for the informative articles.

I just picked up a physical book of Learning Android 2 from my library. Is there a different framework between versions?
I would honestly say there is no starting point.
You can start developing kernels. Even I try to do a basic understanding of how they work. I do basic undervolting for my phone and few mods.
You can also try learning java and contribute to Android AOSP or CyanogenMod
Or yeah theming is also an option.
I would also like an answer to this...
I have ubuntu installed, I have Java experience, I have the Android SDK installed.
Are there any tutorials out there that give you a step by step guide on how to build a fully functioning Android ROM from scratch?
I've had a look around and different tutorials are telling me different things and they all seem to say "this will not make a full ROM". I have a phone that isn't widely supported (Galaxy S2 LTE i9210t Australia) and since Samsung have delayed ICS for our device for about the 100th time, I'd like to learn how to develop ICS for our handset.
Our handset doesn't even have a forum. We have one thread with quite a few people crying out for a decent, stable ROM 4.0+ and I'd like to help.

Im not going to link to them because they are common as muck on xda but look for guides for building from source. If you have the source, you can make any changes you like without having to patch stuff together.
I havent personally started doing this yet but ive been messing with android for about 2 years now and ive just started creating my own roms etc.

I recommend you learn basic java then check out the hello world tutorial on developer android page.
focus more time on programming then reading, play around with the code.
and good luck.
Hey All

i hope im clear my English is not good im sorry for that
TheNewBoston (A.K.A Bucky Roberts) Does an amazing job of teaching C++
Since i can not post links yet, Youtube > TheNewBoston C++ and it will come up in a playlist hope that helps
I show this to a lot of people who ask me about learning C++ and they all really seem to improve from it
Well if you looking for C#, there is a thread with links in this forum
