Hi there,
I've recently purchased the John Horton book 'Learning Java by Building Android Games'. He's a talented writer and the book is very easy to read, but it was published in early 2015 and the version of Android Studio used is very different to the current release. Can I download version 1.0 for Linux from anywhere? If not I'm going to have to abandon this book and learn how to develop Android games elsewhere..
Thanks,
Andrew.

Good Day XDA!
I'm just asking a little help because i don't know where to start to.. I do have a project in school that will use ARM Board and Android OS. I have bought an ARM Board but I don't know where to start to in integrating..
1. The ARM board has already installed Android OS 2.2 but I want to install a higher version of OS. Can someone give me an advice or tutorials that can help me to upgrade or to build android for an ARM?
2. I've seen the article about building android from source but I don't know what's next after building the source from Linux OS and in building boot loaders and drivers.
3. What are the ways in making applications pre-installed aside from ADB? Is it possible to have a pre-installed app in a custom ROM?
That's all! Thank you!
Hello, my name is Luca from Itali.
After 3 year I returned to develop on Android and now I have to decide which environment to use.
I'm excited to use Android Studio, but the problem is that I learn on the Commonsware book, where all examples are implemented with Eclipse.
Someone is working on Android Studio?
Do you know if is possible too run Eclipse and Android Studio at the same time (problem with abd, etc?)
Thanks, luca!

You can totally run eclipse and Android Studio together. I do.
BTW it's ADB (not abd), and that has no issues with either eclipse or Android Studio.
As an aside, how is it to learn from CommonsWare book?
Hello,
What is the best/most popular IDE for developing Android Java apps under Windows?
Thanks,

Eclipse :thumbup:
and Android studio
Android Studio. It already officially replaced Eclipse, so you should use it, and not Eclipse.
I'm taking an online course on writing Android apps and the instructor uses Eclipse with jre 6.
But the urls he sends us to downloads and installs jre 7.5 and Studio. The Studio interface is very different so for a novice like me it is very confusing.
Is Eclipse and jre 6 still available for download? Where?
Thank you.

Hi there,
Short answer:
I believe you could use either.
Longer answer:
As your instructor uses Eclipse - use Eclipse too. This way you will follow the course flawlessly. Eclipse is an open source project, well supported with huge community behind. You can download it from eclipse.org/downloads
Which version? I'd say the basic one is enough, e.g. Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, you'll need to install ADT (Android Dev. Tools) plugins, but I presume the instructor in the course made a topic on that. More discussion on that here: stackoverflow.com/questions/16657729/what-version-of-eclipse-do-i-use-for-android
As for JRE...
JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is required to run java programs on a machine. If you're developing programs, you'll need JDK - Java Development Kit. They're updated the same way any other programs are, hence you'll see different version numbers. Find them here: oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Good luck!
ps.
I'm not an Android developer, but did some java programming.
any one know a good course for android development with android studio... I am beginner and dont know any thing about java
