Hi All!
I have been playing with the Android SDK and AVD for a while now, and some questions have arisen.
look at the attached picture and see if you see anything wrong with the current setup.
I developed this based on the Kaiser's actual limitations and wanted to keep it as small as possible.
Devs feel free to bash me or comment freely...

Hi all,
I created this thread to collect informations, suggestions and links for who want to start learning developing android applications, whitout being an expert developer.
I like programming (vb6, vb.net ) but I don't know anything about android and linux, and just a little about java... Now I bought an Hero and I met android world... I downladed Eclipse IDE, Android SDK and I starded with dev guide on SDK... I just take a look to helloandorid application... it works! and now? In the xml layout seems easy to add View like buttons or text... but how can I handle to the user actions like the button click? in vb is simple to manage the buttonpressed event...!
If someone knows some simple guides about java, eclipse and android, please let links on this thread!
Thank you!
This one's awesome for learning how to create widgets:

here are some other resources you could easily find by using google search:
http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials
http://nexsoftware.net/wp/2009/07/29/tutorial-creating-a-custom-analogclock-widget/
http://www.anddev.org/index.php
Other than that, just start from the simplest Hello World -examples on Google's own Android site.
I'm going to start leurning Android programming
If ill find nice links i will post them here. Is there btw a way to program inside visual studio? Cuz all tutorials on the net are using eclipse.
You'll need to use Eclipse to my knowledge as its all Java based. The other alternatives are the IntelliJ plugin and doing it all from Command line/Text Editor.
Back to the Topic, I'm just trying my hand at a little Android development this week too, the tutorials and manuals at developer.android.com have been great!
Another thing, while I remember, if you've done any sort of .NET/ASP.NET development before you should find it a breeze, apart from the lack of Visual Studio (best IDE that ever was), they're VERY similar compared to some other languages/technologies I've used.
HeY Furios, Im new to android dev also, so if you don't mind, I would like to follow you and share any info I find with you and to whom ever else would like any info...Thanx
SDK 2.1
Hi Guys,
I went onto the SE developer site and got he x10 SDK, but it only gives me the choice for a 1.6 virtual Machine. Is there another place that I have to go to get the SDK for 2.1?
Thanks.
It would be cool to learn how to develop roms as well...or is that much deeper?
Well guy's start here on this thread first >>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667298
Made me think
need minor help!
im actually developing a few games, but im running into some seemingly basic issues, that i seem i cannot get to work. basically a button mash game, single/multi player, well on multi player i cannot for my life get the multi player functions to work, as in in the end the game already knows who the winner is based on an integer score, then it is supposed to use an sqlite database to take the highest scored player such as P1 or P2 and allow them to input there name to be permanently displayed. it cannot seem to differentiate using IF statements, but the feature does work with single player flawlessly, i may link source code if asked, TY
I just recently decided that I have had enough of WinMo on my tilt2 and opted to see how the development of Android OS was coming along for the phone. Not surprisingly, it has developed a lot since I first picked up the phone in December and first thought of the idea of placing Android on the phone.
To my point-- I have some programming experience and would be interested in learning the language behind Android. Obviously it is linux based, but is that the only thing I need to know?
Does anyone know what I need to know to get started?
Links to appropriate sites with details on the language is really what I am looking for. Thanks to any and all that will help (not looking for trolls, get enough of those from other sites).
I too am learning linux, I've had to use linux commands for over a year now as I also own a G1 and you often (when rooting) need to go into a terminal to make changes. I unfortunately don't know much of the language required to create or change much of the android OS I only know the file structure and how to change that. If I were you I would jump over to http://www.android.com download the developers kit which comes with an android emulator and they have lots of tutorials and demo apps for the android OS. It won't do much as far as help you modify the system but it's a good place to get started.
Hope this helps and if you have any questions about the things I do know, feel free to ask me

I'm interested in doing some development for android. I'm just not sure where to start. I see a ton of books on Amazon.
I'm just wondering what would be recommended for an absolute beginner. I know my way around a computer so i don't need it that noob'd down.
I think i would like to play with some apps, and eventually move to Kernels and Roms.
What you you recommend?
Probably the best way to start is to learn Java (the main coding language for apps and userspace), and C (the main languages for kernelspace stuff). After that, messing with the App Inventor would be the place to go.

i was thinking of learning some basics of android app development and coding with a very basic walk through so that i can fully understand what i'm going to be able to use the Java code in particular applications. Would this be a bad strategy.
As a software developer, I would recommend spending a couple weeks getting the basics of Java and object-oriented development down. Do a few sample apps in Java. Once you've done that, try Android. I'm afraid that learning to code, learning Java, and learning to develop for Android all in one may be too much for someone.
You really need to have the basics of Java and object-orientation down, then take on Android as it's not altogether simple, particularly for someone who's just learned to code.
As far as kernel/ROM development, I'm guessing C and Linux shell scripts are the things to learn there. If you want to write Android apps, do as I've mentioned above.
Is there an Android build for the HTC Touch Pro 2 that has no copyright problems? I downloaded the FRX06 build, but system.ext2 contained some of the apks that Google doesn't allow to be distributed without their permission, e.g., Gmail, Maps and Market. I know I can delete the apks, but (a) I feel bad even downloading something that contains unlicensed copyrighted materials; and (b) I worry whether there are additional unlicensed copyrighted files like various libraries.
I can't answer your question and sorry to go OT, but are you the ar pruss of palm fame?

Yes, that's me. My Palm TX is aging, and I am considering Android as a development platform. (iOS is not an option--I don't want to develop for a closed device, plus I don't have a Mac.) Specifically, I am thinking of making a decent mid-to-high-end astronomy app--there is nothing in the Android world that is as powerful as the best PalmOS astronomy apps. But before I spend money to buy an Android device, I'd like to try out Android and hence am thinking of booting my wife's HTC Touch Pro 2 into Android. I'm kind of afraid of what a no-stylus interface is like.
Glad to have you around, I used to see your name cropping up everywhere in the old days. As I recall, nvbackup was never topped as THE backup utility to use on garnet.
I'm no dev, but I've been trying out Android on my TP2 as well while waiting for a tilting screen slider to come with android. Really only heard about the closed apk contraversy recently. I suppose there could be a cleaner build somewhere. If no one drops in here, you might have more luck finding out what you need in the android dev sub forum or in the xdandroid chat: http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Chat
Hi
I'm trying to learn to use the Eclipse Development environment.
I can write a Hello World program and run it on my Galaxy Nexus (GN) when it is connected to my PC.................a small victory in deed but I’ll take it.
I want to use the emulator capability of the environment so I can develop without my device (a Galaxy Nexus) being connected.
As the better informed than I would know there is a tool called the Android Virtual Device Manager it is used to create AVDs (Android Virtual Devices)
I want to use the Android Virtual Device Manager to create an AVD that is an exact clone or very close to the hardware I have.
But even though the Android Virtual Device Manager has a device definition that includes my phone (GN) there are a lot of details I don’t understand as a newbie to Android development.
When I create a AVD based on the GN device definition the default for RAM is 1024 (I assume MB) but there is an error message that says “On Windows emulating RAM greater than 768M may fail depending on the system load. Try progressively smaller values of RAM if the emulator fails to launch.
Is this large or small compared to what I have in my hardware?
The default for the VM Heap is 64.
Is this large or small compared to what I have in my hardware?
The SD card is blank.
I know the GN does not have a SD card but I think it has a virtual/ psuedo one created from its system RAM.
So the question arises what am I supposed to put in there for SD card size?
There is a check box for a keyboard does that mean a soft keboard or my PC keyboard????
So I’m posting it here in hopes that someone can direct me to the correct documentation for a GN AVD that will allow me to be confident that my device is emulating my hardware?
I have searched only to find general tutorials and generic explanations which got me to here but I am looking for a deeper understanding of my exact device.
I would really like to find out more about my phone/GN and hopefully learn something in the process.
Anyway I tried to post to the developer section but I was not allowed to …..me thinks because I have not posted 10 times yet.
My apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place.
*I can't really help you on your issue, but i can guide you on where to post*
Question like this goes to the Q&A.
Never ever post in the developer's section unless you are releasing an app or a ROM.
Thanks much I'll move it over there
