Hello Everyone,
My friend just told me about android app development.. I got myself a Htc M8 for this purpose and i hope to start developing themes to begin with. To do that I will need some help. I want to use Android studio over eclipse as I was told AS is better than Elpse. I need some guidelines on how to develop themes. Now I am not a computer student and I definitely don't have programming skills but I am a fast learner..
Mail me here or [email protected].. I will be waiting patiently..
Thank You

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure most people aren't going to give you any sort of help. At least with my experience.
If you want to learn then go through the forums. There are countless guides on editing apps and theming. Look up apktool. And obviously adb.
Familiarize yourself with how everything works. With your device and how to recover from bootloops if you make a mistake.
You will also need to know how to edit XML. Files once you get deeper into theming.
There's just too much to explain
Tip 1 : try VTS (google for it)
Tip 2: make up your mind on what you want to theme, is it android system itself then i should wait for android 5 sense to drop because it will have many changes in decompiling the apk files

Hello guys,
I want to be useful for the community and learn some stuff of android programming.
Any of you have some recommended and specific information about this? I have some knowledge in other software such as matlab, and probably I will spend some time learning this new code of programming.
Thanks in advance
Three things to get you started:
1: Google (your new best friend)
2: Eclipse IDE (java development environment)
3: Android SDK (android dev kit)
Theres lots of resourses on learning JAVA programming language. Search and find one you like.
I could last days putting info here for you.. But this is what came up to my mind real quick so here you have it!
This should help you get familiar with things. Getting into the code and get familiar and you can start learning from there!

^Finally a worthy response. I have been asking this questioni for some time now.
Check out this link for themese etc... http://uot.dakra.lt/
I haven't had time to explore it. I came across the website when I was curious myself.
I am a new owner of an Acer a100(16GB) (currently 1.018.05_COM_GEN2) Android v3.2 and wanted to introduce my self and offer my assistance with A100 development in any way.
I'm an Android noob, but I use Linux and have done some shell scripting(Perl, Bash, Sed, Awk, a little javascript), and I am in the process of learning Java. I have also modded other devices before like PS2, PSP. So I am looking forward to learning more about Android and since I have an a100 this seems like a good place to spend some time.
So far I have just rooted my device via the Terminal Emulator method(I do have Eclipse IDE with Android SDK, ADT installed and working and should be setup help compile), got superuser, busybox, titanium, Avast installed. I also made a backup of my recovery image with dd in a shell, and did the AND to WIN hex edit(w/ Bless) of libflashplayer.so for Flash 11 so I can watch hulu, etc via Dolfin HD. I also made a Bash(run via Terminal IDE) script to re-apply the modified file after a shutdown which for now I have installed into /data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/files/bin (aka: ~/bin).
I will probably post my hulu script and lib file with some instructions later. It's basic but effective script that does some file checks and error correcting before it catenates the source file and redirects to destination. Later I may add a few more checks like making sure its running as superuser, and some post file mod checks.
Im still trying to figure out what else we can do, and how to do various things within Android at this point. So far its a fun little setup.
I wanted to say THANKS to everyone here. This place is a great resource. Special thanks to everyone that has been working on the Development end. I look forward to trying to make my self useful.
Welcome Hope you enjoy this device as much as I do.
As far as helping development, you should really check out the bypassing the bootloader thread in this forum, that's where the brainstorming is taking place atm.
Yes, we are *trying* to bypass the bootloader somehow, Crossix is getting a working kernal going while others are looking into methods of applying a work around. Your help will be much appreciated. Welcome to the Forums, and as stated above, the A100 is a great device that has a lot going for it if we can get some work done on it.

Yep I have been reading it and looking around trying to get an idea of what the typical solutions/workarounds are used on other Android devices.
I don't think I have access yet to the developer area yet.
Welcome to the a100 forums, it's always nice to have another dev working on this thing!
Development forums require 10 posts to be able to use them, so just remain active in general/QA and you'll have access in no time.
Congrats on your New Tab
Sorry in advance if there's a tutorial already out, but i can't seem to find it. I want to begin by modding themes. I have d/l and installed apk manager, sdk tools, java, eclipse and have, as far as i know, associated everything properly. My prog exp is little: some visual basic and turbo pascal in college, along with a flirting fascination with assembly. My thought was i would begin by modding code instead of learning java outright, but if i have to learn c or java that is just fine. where? Anyway, every time i run script.bat in apk manager, i receive an error. Put .apk in mod folder, run script.bat, start project (the .apk is (1)) 1, decompile...error! what am i doing wrong? If anything, just point me in the direction of a good tutorial.

I'm not sure if what you're looking for would be there, but have you checked the General Android Development forum? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
I'm sure you would be able to get more detailed help there, since you are talking about non device specific development. Good luck!

Thank you! I've seen some, but not all. I have a nitro, so dev would be geared towards that. further along i was/would ask how you get the emulator to approximate the lg nitro, but for now i thought i'd stick with just requesting a solid tut.

Never messed with it, to be honest... I've got so many things I want to do but can't seem to find a good starting point for any of it. Pretty sure I've downloaded eclipse, JDK, and the android SDK in both windows and linux environments but that's about as far as I've gone... I may have installed them, not 100% sure. I get side-tracked too easily. :cyclops:
hello every one
im new here and i really want to start developing my DHD
so if i wanna learn how to make a ROM, skins...etc
where to start and what do i need ??
learning Java script maybe ??!
If I'm not mistaken, themes/skins are done for particular ROM.
For ROM dev I'd start searching forum, and reading stuff like this:

Google itself has a good guide for building Android from source. Start with a working manifest.xml from a dev here. You need to know Java not Javascript.
If im not mistaken you need a environment built first. Something like whats described here http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

I want to port a ROM to my old phone (s3ve3g) for fun. I haven't done anything regarding ROM Coding, but I was searching for a while on the Internet and couldn't find any good guides.
So how do I get started? Idk if that's important, but I know Java & C++...
