Wanting to make Android Apps

Hey Folks!
So I'm wanting to develop Android Apps and I was told that I can program using JavaScript, but the tutorials I'm finding are using Java as their language. So far this is the best tutorial I have found to help me get setup so I can start, but the Eclipse program only seems to program using java instead of JavaScript... am I wrong?

I could use some helpful links about how to create a helloworld app for Android in Javascript, thanks!

+1 i have always been curious on how to develop apps.

Check your local magazine rack. There is a development magazine with a sdk disk and some good articles with code to start android software development.
I just picked it up last night its very informative.

Well I finally found out that there's an open programming structure called PhoneGap and Titanium, allowing you to use your HTML and JavaScript to create android apps. Apparently they convert the scripts into the native app, but I"m not 100% about it. I'm not sure how affective it is to running a native app.

i have no coding experiance, so i might need to take some high school code classes or something first. sounds like fun.

What about this for starters

Not possible without actually porting it. What app do you want? Pretty sure there will be several Android alternatives.

Runescape on gs2 with Ubuntu.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my phone and am trying to play runescape. It has Java 6 on it but the runedcape browser says I don't have Java or is outdated. There is an option under Java to install icetea plugin. will this make it work? Or do I need another browser besides Firefox? Is there. Way to make this work?

OT: Stick to the browser, I can't imagine how hard it is to play on a phone

Do you want to build in Linux or a virtual box?

I have a windows 7 machine. Will also like some info on building from source.

Most important things would be at least TWO apk managers (I have 4). I would reccomend ptmr3's deviant manager and wanam apk manager. Also get 7-zip and winrar. Sometimes, on aosp ROM's usually, 7-zip has a "term info bug". Use winrar when this happens. You'll also need notepad++ and apktool. Apktool is for Smali editing. Finally, get an apk/zip signing application.
Some people might use this while others, like me, don't. You might want to have the kitchen handy for some simple tasks. I personally hate the kitchen because it just makes simple stuff so complicated.
You'll definitely need the SDK and Samsung adb drivers. And I would recommend using Linux over windows and avoid osx. I hope I didn't lose you here lol.

If you are currently running Windows, I would suggest spending some time getting familiar with Ubuntu, and deciding on a dual boot install or running it through a virtual machine.
I dual boot Ubuntu Linux 64bit because it is much faster than compiling within a virtual machine.
There are a couple good how to get started guides around if you search something like how to build CM10, or a similar query.
If you are ready to commit, i would suggest building something easy such as CyanogenMod. To begin you'll find yourself working in a terminal window for the majority of the time, and learning to navigate and debug using terminal commands. All this can seem a bit daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it in no time.
This guide here is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971645 but stop after the command ". build/envsetup.sh".
After that command you'll want to build for Hercules (our device)! In which case you would then say "lunch" and pick the corresponding number beside Hercules. After that you can say "mka otapackage", which will begin the build!
Everything should go smooth from there. Once it has finished you will find your ROM in /cm10/out/target/product/hercules.

Sometimes you need to install third party drivers to support your hardware, as Linux is open source it does not include the drivers which are closed source.
You'll find this with many things in Linux. Go ahead and try to play a DVD for an example of some of the hoops you'll have to jump through

WindowsAndroid

The folks over at Socketeq have released WindowsAndroid. It runs natively on your Windows machine, meaning that there is no need for emulation. WindowsAndroid runs on the Windows kernel, instead of the Linux kernel. Currently they are on Android v4.0.3. It's compatible with Vista, Win7, and Win8. Keyboard and Mouse are fully supported. This is the early release, so there might be some bugs.
Normally download is hosted on Socketeq's website, but right now the site is down due to heavy loads. Here is and alternate link if your interested:

Looks promising

It's interesting, runs pretty smooth, but no gapps and doesn't appear to have an emulated sdcard. Ill mess with it more later and see what I can figure out.

Thanks for reupping the file.
Been trying to get this dam file for a week now.

I knew there'd already be a thread about this......It's like "Android on Windows pfft , old news, Knew about it yesterday!!"
+1 On the Reup, This, I gotta see this for myself. :good:
EDIT: Looks like they've pulled the download completely for now...... guess they didn't anticipate the interest.

I installed this today and started playing with it, I was wondering how the audio mapping was to your audio driver on the computer. I will report when I find out more

Edit the system/build.prop file in the windowsandroid_root folder and add this line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
This will change it to tablet interface.

OpenGL is integrated into you Video Card drivers. When was the last time you updated your drivers?
Also, not all cards support OpenGL.

I cant update them from the intel site it scans my pc and that it it says pc scanned succusfully or something but that i cant get them from that place or something isnt there any frweeware that updates it.

I've tried it quickly.
It "works" but I can't do anything great by now.
I copied a personal APK in the app storage (on the C drive). My app appears, I'm able to launch it, but when I try to made modification in it, it finaly crash.
I hope there will be new release, and also the possibitlity to use the Play Store !

how do you get it run ? I ran the exe and a console open , then a windows popups and then the whole thing just crashes leaving me at the command prompt

Quick note, if you download an ICS Gapps and unzip it, the copy the apks from system/app/ to the system/app/ in the folder where you installed WindowsAndroid then restart WindowsAndroid you will have gapps (Market, etc). However the available apps are very limited (build.prop edit might fix that), and I personally get an error any time I try to download an app.
