Download ADT (the Eclipse and Android SDK bundle) and Andengine (from GitHub). Launch the example and try tweaking it. It's a long way but that's how all programming starts

Games and Apps question
I need to know. Kindly teach me. Thank You.

Best games for Vibrant

Ok so all those advertisements on tv and on youtube show that vibrant has amazing 3D games... In one youtube banner ad it shows an impressive clip from some kind of a helicopter game. Yet where can I download those games? They sure as hell not in market. Market is full of old and outdated games.
Can someone be kind enough to post a list of impressive 3d games.
I downloaded Need for speed shift demo for verizon.. But since its for verizon I cant purchase the full version :/
Thanx in advance
I have NFS Shift, Sandstorm, HeavyGunner, HomerunBattle 3d and Gangstar. All fun games with great graphics. I don't believe they're on the market though, you'll have to Google search to find them.
Gameloft has a lot of good games. They make the best I've seen so far but do not sell them on the market. Have to get them through their site. I'm playing Dungeon Hunter, Diablo clone, best graphics I've seen so far.

I also want to know what that helicopter game was?! I saw that ad and couldn't find it.
And DAMN I'm suffering from Google's 30% robbery. I didn't know that Google was Apple. **** that ****. So much for being supportive of devs

Google isnt profitting, 30% is the cost of servers, maint, carrier costs, etc.. Atleast thats what we are told.. Google never gave out a breakdown of where all that goes..

You're not kidding...Dungeon Hunter is awesome!
I downloaded it after reading your post, and bought after playing it for about 2 minutes...I still can't believe I'm playing games like this on my phone...the graphics are so clean!
Thanks for the tip on that one!
Question... did you guys download the games directly from your phones? Or you dled from comp first then pushed to phone? Coz everytime I go to their site it says there are no games available for my phone. Am I missing something here?

you dont need a 3rd party .apk installing software to install non market games/apps
Go to "settings" then "Applications" then check mark the box that says
"unknown sources"...allows install of none market apps

I'm definitely gonna run Windows 95! If for nothing else but to impress people.

Does anyone know who the developer of the DOSBox port to android? I need to contact him to ask a question.
I installed aDOSBox on my android 2.3.4 rooted phone (LG Optimus q) and it installed fine. I then mounted the program folder I wanted but as soon as I run the program sDOSBox crashes. Funny thing is that on my Windows 7 laptop where I have DOSBox installed the identical program runs just fine. So, I need to find out how to trouble shoot the android port to make it work on my phone too. I think the crash is possibly a display resolution problem but do not know how to change that.
Any help appreciated.

Developing for android on android?

There's no app to simple app development (like appinventor) to do it on the phone or tablet? Maybe the easiest way is to run ubuntu and install SDK, eclipse...? What do you think?

App inventor is still going for now I think but next easiest way is a basic programming language basic4android which though easy to learn and use can produce very complex apps I created media streaming and contact widget apps and others have created bittorent search engines, video players, spreadsheet apps and games so is something worth looking into as it also has an ide you can use to develop on your android device though main ide is windows based.

Terminal IDE is what you want. You should know basic Linux terminal commands to use it, but it has good tutorials... It's a large app (~30MB) but it's an entire terminal emulator with the ability to develop Java on your Android. It also doesn't require root.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
Oh that's good to know. Where can I download? So basically the development is done via command line?

Website to learn java?

Hey guys, first im not even sure if this is the right place, but to my point. Is there a site like code academy where I can learn java? I'm learning python of code academy and its been a good exp. but I wanna learn java for android. So is there a place like code academy for java? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I don't think there's a specific place to learn how to code Java. All I can suggest to you is to look up free eBooks, Tips and Guides on YouTube, look for open source codes and look through that or also develop Applications for online games in Java before Android. If you need more suggestions or need help where to go you can message me.
google
