Hi! Due to my lack of computing skills, i do not know how to make an app from scratch. I want to make an application that does certain calculations and all i need is a few formulas or taskbars. The ones you paste in certain information and you get a result. And perhaps also a place for graphs to be pasted. I have all calculations etc. I only need the visuals, design, you name it. Any programs where you can do the design without coding or anything like it? - Or can they be learnt rather easily, these few things?

First of all, I want to say: Coding is easy to learn. Why don't start learn it? It will be much more beneficial to you now and in the future. And XDA-Developers' members (including me) will gladly help you to do that.
But if you still don't want to learn coding, I can only say that you CAN create application, though your application will not be the same as you want it. Or if you think that you don't have to learn coding, but your app is essential, you can hire app developers to do that for you.
The final choice is yours, I'm just giving you suggestions/advice. No offense, ok? :angel:

I recommend the Head First Java book.
Then read some Android tutorials. But you need to learn Java first.
To learn programming Android, you have to understand how to use Java. It's very easy, and there're many tutorials on how to get started. But you have to focus ONLY on mobile development. If you want to learn other things (such as web apps or desktop apps), you can, but it will slowing your progress in learning mobile development.
After you mastered basic of Java, you can start to learn from d.android.com. If you have any questions, just ask it in XDA politely. We'll help you if we can. We hope that you enjoy your learning. :highfive:
Not for novice, but excellent books:
B. Eckel "Thinking in Java"
J. Gosling "Java Language Specification"
And ofc. android documentation.

Hey Everyone!
I'm just wondering if someone would like a small donation for creating an application, It seems fairly simple but I've spent 2 full days mucking through Visual Basic 2008 trying to build this with 0 success. So I thought I'd turn to the pro's
What I would like to have created (and others I am sure by the amount of buzz that app has caused) is an application very much like the "Price Calculator" of the iPhone's for windows mobile. It seemed like it would be an easy thing to do... until I realized my skills are better spent on building computers and shooting video....
Anyone up for a challenge?
oh might be helpful to mention it's located in the app store I didn't know if I'd be allowed to post the link.
Thanks Everybody, Hope someone's willing and able! (there's $30 in it for the first to complete)

Yeah give more information about what the app is and does. I never found it on the app store though I didn't really search for it. Post a link to it. It won't be a problem as long as it links to the app store version and not some warez [email protected] Also what device and version of winmo is the target? Can this app use winmo6.5 APIs or does it need to be winmo5.0 compatible?
I was curious to what you the Developers of the awesome stuff we have for the Epic are using? Are you using the SDK tools we get from Google to make new things? Or are you using some other stuff? I kind of want to make some stuff but I don't know how?
Can you tell me what you used or are using to get where you are now? How do you do it? Can you tell me where or something?
Anything would be helpful.
And please no random "I want to know this too" or arguing to whats better? That would be saved for another post/thread. I do apologize if this is a repeat thread. I didn't see it on the front. I think this should be though.
I'm not at my computer at home right now, I'll update it later all of the apk tools.
1) Version control - I use subversion
2) Diff tool - I use beyond compare
3) Zip tool - I use 7zip
4) Issue tracking - I use Google code
5) Text editor - gVIM
6) Graphics - Photoshop CS5
I am curious as well.
Plapczyn, do you know of any tutorials on developing ROMs for the Epic? Does it require a lot of coding?
Source.google.com
Read it follow instructions to get and compile code. That lets you build a rom from source code where you can alter the os. The only source code that is released for the Epic is 2.1 As of now. If you have specific problems with doing any thing in their directions pm me.

There are lots and lots and lots of tutorials. Google is your friend.
It doesn't require much coding, but you can do plenty of coding if you want.
Will check it out, thanks.
I was just curious because I am not much of a programmer. XHTML, CSS, and Basic PHP is about my limit lol.
These might help...

If you want to make roms, check out the Chef Central forum here on XDA. There are threads with a lot of info on how to do things. Also, you should check out what is going on the other Galaxy S forums. If you want to do dev stuff, you first need to figure out what you want to do, and then go from there. Making a rom (actually any development really, agnostic of device or system), is more about making and pulling in small incremental changes and testing them.
That's the best advice I can give you...is to always break things down into small incremental changes that can be tested in between. Use source control and CHECK IN your changes. This goes for simply swapping out pngs in apks, or doing kernel mods. That way, you always know where your latest working copy is and you what changes caused your system to break...which it inevitably will. Nobody codes things correctly the first time every time. We all have the urge to just make a whole bunch of changes at once and see if it works. The thought is that we don't have enough time to test everything in between. Trust me, you will spent 5 times more time fixing bugs by doing it this way, over just doing it right the first time.
thats good advice plapczyn, thank you. I will evaluate what I want to do and go from there. my #1 priority is app developement, to better my resume and help with my career, but I am interested is possibly experimenting in ROMs too.
Hi guys, I'm currently a senior Computer Science major about to graduate in the next year, and a half. I've been really interested in Android development, and wanted to inquire from the pro's and how they learnt to create, edit, and make such software. So far I haven't been exposed to many real world applications of programming, but any tips that could be provided would be very appreciated!

These are awesome links, I've been recently reading Programming Android by Mr. Zigurd Mednieks. So far it's pretty good, and it's builds upon my previous knowledge of Java(which I haven't used in a while).

You can try this one: http://csharp.net-tutorials.com/
You should spend money to buy a good book. Videos and other Tutorials are usually bad quality and are very common to teach you wrong stuff because they are likely made by people who are "done" learning the language just 3 weeks ago...,
you should write an application from begin to end in order to know what you need.
usually reference codeproject, stackoverflow, msdn

this is what I did, I learned C# with youtube videos, looking on stackoverflow (really good answers here), and created my first game from start to end And C# is really easy !
(I never had programmers skills before)
Good luck !
Stackoverflow is great is you already know the basics and need help with specific questions or problems.
I read C# in a Nutshell (actually rather big). It is an ok book with lots of references. Haven't read many other books though, so not sure which one to recommend.
The best way (for me) was to follow some online tutorials (my first app - like blogs). This is just the easiest way to get started (and get some practical experience).
Hi,
If you want to learn C#, I recommend you Microsoft Vrtual Academy. It has a lot of tutorial videos of Microsoft Technologies.

Please do me a favor keep your opinions about me to your self you don't know the first thing about me In the past I was a programmer using Pascal and basic which I created programs to test PCB's So I do know how to program just not android. I did google but I probably didn't phrase it right so didn't find the exact info I was looking for. As far as I'm concerned you are being rude and judgemental so the way I see it is in your best interest to keep your opinions to your self.
Thanks for the info Semantics am looking at it now.
I wish you the best, hoping to see a creation by you in the near future ?
@Semantics @IXChicharitoXI way to have a supportive attitude. We need more of that around here :good:
Thanks for the support it will be awhile since I have to learn everything from the bottom up.

Best way to start it by cooking your own personalized stock ROM. Learning as you go is a great way to retain that knowledge. After you get the hang of that move on to aosp. A lot of the same principles will carry over. Don't let haters get you down, I saw a guy post in the hacking and development section asking how to do something. He got lit up with insults but went on to do some really cool stuff. I didn't see this in actual time I was just curious about his othere projects and ran into it. One tip I would say is do not depend on kitchens. They work for a quick shortcut to get your stock ROM started but that's about all they are good for (they don't even work with this phone). Good luck!

Yes I want to do it right but everywhere I look I see people doing work with the kitchen software which I have tried on one of the stock rooted deodexed roms I found here and your right very limited. I will keep looking and reading hopefully I will find some guides on the net which will show me how to do what I want to do. When I programmed before one of my friends helped me learn how to do it and I did learn from the bottom up with his help. So I know it is possible just need assistance getting there.
