[Q] Good books on android apps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys! I want to get in to building android apps outside of appinventor P)
Any ideas where i can find a good book, etc to learn a lot of what I'd need to know?
Essentially, I'm a 15 year old script kiddie (see here ) who doesn't know much "real" code. So you know where I'm starting from ;D
(I have eclipse and the sdk, etc installed.)
Thanks!:good:

From what I've seen, "Professional Android 4 Application Development" seems to be a pretty well received Android programming book. I'm just about to spend the money on it myself

Thanks for the reply! Checked out the comments, seems to be a book for people with java experience though

You may have heard some of us talk about our mysterious day-jobs. Now is the time for us to tell what we've been working on. We've been creating an encrypted telephone, in software, on the XDA.
The following links tell more:

thumbs up
That's impressive.
Good work ... do not have such a requirement for now but it's good to be out there.
And since "our" developers are in front line ... it's even better.
Decebal
This CryptoPhone reminded me about a question I 4got to ask...
When ever i make a call, for about the first 5 seconds (sumtimes longer or shorter)... I can hear other ppls conversations....so i was wondering, is there any software to make the device into sum sort of scanner? 8)
I dont think I will be ordering one as the price seems to be aimed at industrialist multi millionaires and the like. I do admire the fact that the spooks have no access but I dont know how long that will last as I am sure that as we speak some beaurocrat is wording the legislation to outlaw it on the basis that it threatens security or some such nonsense.

Grab the new Android Market app while it's hot!!!

Here is the new market apk for all!! just found it myself... have fun
You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!
THANKS TO : Jerry Hildenbrand, Bryan (where i actually found the post)

Sorry sweetheart. You are little late for party. And this hot cake became ice already.
I'm confused.. I thought these apps update on their own, without having to download anything manually?
Pretty cool kinda reminds me of the Microsoft tiles

[Open Source] Holo port to Android 1.x and 2.x

Hello all,
Here is my contribution to Android and the Open source..
I just wanted to share my Holo Theme port to Android 1.X and 2.X. This port is fully compatible with ActionBarSherlock and should be really easy to install.

Market (Google Play) link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.HoloDemo
For me on Github: https://github.com/ChristopheVersieux/HoloEverywhere
It may be kinda confusing for some people on how to use it.
Mind adding a tut?
Greets!

The app is just a demo for developers and does nothing!!!!
It should show to all the devs how to give the same look to buttons, text fields, dialog in their own app's
Aaaaand... subscribed Nice work!
Seems that I was wrong, I got issues with Android 1.5 and lower...
Seems that the library is not working for these SDK levels...
anyone confirms that the library is working on android 2.3.x?
Awesome

to be honest, nothing is safe once it's on the internet. Best way to keep files is in a vault built into the wall behind a cheap painting. And share stuff personally, not using postal services because they, like, sometimes check your mail...
Back on topic. I like the idea of google offering a dropbox alternative. With few to no adds, a simple app that integrates with the android ecosystem...
I love dropbox for giving a flawless user experience between different platforms, and for being free...i just hope google drive would live up to be even better.

[CLOSED] Who's hoping for awesome custom ROMS for this?

The thing has good specs, good audio... and squandered potential. Only being a slave to a Android device?
This would have been a *****in' GTV device. As Google TV is in rough shape, even getting a full Android ROM would be good. Here's to hoping it can be easily hacked.
Seeing as it is a Nexus device, I would surely hope that it has some level of hack-ability and modding. They even said that they encourage modding of the Nexus Q when they announced it at I/O. I'm excited to see where it goes!
Because they know that if someone come qith a good hack making it available to play games, run full OS or something like that people like will start buying it

It would be great if the GTV system could be ported over to the Q. I like the idea of the Q but a custom Rom would get me off the fence and grab my card to order.
Live and Die on this day....
There's already a thread for speculating on possible uses for the Q, please continue all further discussion there.
