A tutorial is the best way to get started... try EasyAppCreation to get all the help you need :good:
yes a tutorial is the best thing to begin with
the first place you should go is android developers' website : https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEZdpuRo54zKfwYLJXUmICi3s2HUA
but of course you will first have to learn java (xml,sql as options) :http://www.freejavaguide.com/corejava.htm
if you already have some linux knowledge it will be of good help to understand how android realy works , i know it souds stupid but you should first of all start from wikipedia to find out more about android : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android
for learning there is also Android IDE (free) that you can find on play store it is an ide for android that works on android , you can find on play store also some references about java programing language and tutorials for begining android development , ps: you can also make apps with phonegap if you are already a web developer , but i dont advice you to use phonegap for heavy projects as you dont have full control of the performance : http://phonegap.com/developer/
note that a version of phonegap on play store that works on android (paid) , it is made by the same team that made AIDE , dont forget about html5 apps also (they are multiplatform but need a browser with html5 support) , i hope i helped you .

EDIT: How Can I Easily Make a Sidescrolling Platformer Using An Easy Scripting Language For Android
Bump
Nobody Answered Yet I Modified My Post
Im Really Eager to start Making Simple Platforming Games For Android
bump Someone please post
There is no easy way. Anything that is worth doing is always worth the work you need to do.
Here is a Java-Script Builder
Don't know if you know anything about writing script or anything but you can PM(private message) me with an email address and I'll send you a zipped attatchment with a program for windows pc. It's called Sencha-Touch 1.1.1 App Maker.
I'm sure if your running windows on your PC and your here then you already have java runtime. Just update it if necessary at Java.com. Just click where it says "Do I Have Java" to check and update your version.
You will probably also have to go to Oracle(the java website) and download and install the "Java SE 7u2" for developers from the download section.
If you Need direct links to the Java's, I will include them in email to you.
Hope this gives ya some insight.
Can't get the zip to upload to an email but can give ya the website link in one. Don't think I'm allowed to post outside links.

Have you tried out DaVinci Studio? it's a dev tool based on HTML5 and JavaScript...
You can get it for free at their website and ask questions on their forum if you need help with it.
Eclipse + Android SDK
I highly recommend using the standard Eclipse setup with the Android SDK. Java is pretty easy to learn, and can create games that are very simple to complex. I was confused where to start off as well, and tried out AndEngine. There isn't much documantation for AndEngine, so I followed Kilobolt's tutorial on game development. One of the best tutorials of programming that I have ever seen. I am working on a platformer at the moment, and everything is going pretty well. In simple, google "Kilobolt". He has tutorials for setting everything up. However, the tutorial begins with standard Java development, and Android comes into play when you are ready to port the game. Good Luck. :good:
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.
Hi,
I would say that my knowledge of JAVA is fair enough, intermediate. I just started developing on android for the sole purpose of creating a few book applications.
Are there any tutorials/guides that you guys would recommend that i can follow in order to do so please?
Many thanks.
Without offend you... please search in Google, there are many Android tutorials, like this.
First, you need to setup Java SE, Android SDK, Eclipse and ADT Plugin for Eclipse (in that order), then you can begin to develop

Thanks for that mate. I've set all that up already. I was looking for making apps for ebooks in particular. Are you aware of any tutorials for that please?
Thanks.
Nope, sorry dude, I only know general tutorials like above
if you know java, now you only need to know the android classes.
learn the classes you need use from here:
developer.android.com
Greetings!
Well, is how the title says. I want to start making my own systems apps. For instance, I want to start developing a camera apk for my GS3 but the problem is that I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to open those internals files like xml files(they do not open correctly with a note app), .rsa files, .mf files, .sf files, .dex files, .arsc files and the list continues. How to compile and discompile apks or flashable files...
All of this is because I want to star my own proyect, and through this way, to enter the android developing community of the GS3!
If anyone could help me to accomplish this I would be VERY grateful! If theres a guide (I tried to look for one but my research did not throw any result) that would be better!
Hope you could understand me because English is not my main language, but hey, I'm learning
Thank You SO MUCH for YOUR TIME!
Personally I think you should start to learn the programming and code from your toaster, but hey - if you want to damage your S3 - it is your free will (I hope)
OK, let's go to the matter, first. Assessing your coding skills based on your questions, I decided that you should start your learning from this.
Furthermore, to be more presice against your questions, if you would become literate expert in above linked knowledge, feel free to use
this as a small sample.
If it made you curious, why not try for even more interesting news?
OMG ROTFL:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hey bud, The question has been asked like a thousand times on xda, lol. All possible resources for android development are discussed, linked to, or otherwise present right here on XDA. Use the search.
Backup plan try this: Look up toward the top of the exact screen you are looking at right now. Click there. If you get lost, see the attached screenshot.
:good: Cheers!
