Ah thanks a lot for that link dude! I emailed SE about the Timescape SDK but got no response. I'm starting out on java as well, though I am pretty familiar with C++, python, etc. Let me know if you want to work on something together
Would love to....what's best way to contact u...

"Head First Java" by by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates.
just to tell you now there is no easy way only hard work lies ahead. Do you still wish to continue?

I'm interested in the same thing, and while I heard of a few people who jumped right into Android and learned Java on the way, I've decided to start from the bottom and learn Java. Head first Java is a good book, and my main reference point. If I get to something that is a bit confusing, I jump to another book to try to take it from a different point of view. The other books I mostly use are "Sam's Teach yourself Java Programming in 24 Hours" and "Beginning Java Programming for Dummies". I generally hate any book that is "for dummies" or claims to teach you something "in 24 hours", but these books actually work for me. Don't be afraid to use more than one book/site.
Lastly, everyone will tell you that the best way to learn is to jump in and start coding, but you obviously need a little info first. What I did was study up the basics(variables, syntax, and most importantly OOP), then start coding like crazy. Even if they are simple as hell programs. I would make myself write about 5 programs per day when I started(and still do). Some of them would be as simple as writing a 10 line Dog class with a Bark() method, then crating another class with a main method to run the program. Sure they are easy program, but it still help to be consistent and definitely helps keep you skillset moving forward. If you want any info or books, just let me know. I'm pretty new myself and am really enjoying Java so far. I can't wait til the day where I can work on apps, kernels, and ROMs!

Dear me such negativity.
Try Effective Java as its cited quite a bit on developer.android.com. But yeah, if phrases like Object Oriented Programming, Integrated Development Environment and debugging are foreign...yup a long road lies ahead of you. Rewarding, but long.
A guide on Eclipse can get you places too
Kernal is written in C but that is the easiest language to learn

I just bought my first Android device, and would be interested in learning as well. been reading the development forums for the Atrix for about two weeks now, have a general concept of rooting/unlocking, fastboot and ADB. now i would just like to expand that knowledge into programming applications, on the little spare time i have.
if you'd be willing to teach me a little bit of the basics here and there, i'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks for the book list info.

Hi all.
I'm absolutely a noob to the programming. I don't know any of the programming languages. But I wanted to do the stuff what programmers do . I wanted to build applications compatible for different platforms. I like the programming very very much.
Then after searching I came to know that java is good one to start with. Then I downloaded the java tutorials offline html content from oracle website. I feel it is the standard for learning java. I'm learning with jdk7 u2 but however I just started to learn. I don't know how it goes, but I have some ubuntu usage knowledge and also some android usage knowledge.
And I wanted to create apps for android. So I wanted to learn the android official DEV GUIDE . So I downloaded present version of sdk documentation. I had a look at it and I felt knowledge of java is needed to go through it.
At first I wanted to start development by creating my own android app. So learning java atfirst and later android documentation is must as I think.
So, I THOUGHT OF ASKING U GUYS HOW MUCH TIME (in days, weeks, or months) U RECOMMEND TO LEARN JAVA from oracle tutorials offline. SIMILARLY HOW MUCH TIME FOR ANDROID DOCUMENTATION.
I know the learning time varies from person to person but what is the time for an average noob person . And if u learnt java and android from noob stage can u tell me how much time it took for u.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Pls feel free to give me suggestions if you have any...
Anyone please.
Well I'm in the same boat as, you are! I want to learn more about android, developing and what not but am limited because I refuse to root my phone. However this kinda stuff still interests me. So if you have any takers on this thread with some learning modules or what not just shoot me a PM or something with what you learned! Thank you!

Depends on the app your making.
Ive been reading alot about java, and android. Theres a great video on xda tv. Actually 2 videos. Ones to set up eclipse and the android sdk. And run a basic app. The second is making of a root app.., though that one i got brain block on right at the point where adam says he need to edit some files.. from that point on my brain froze and i gave up lok. Though i have managed to create an app with buttons that do nothing lol..ui looks cool though..
Have a look for the frogger source code by doing a google search.. that helped quite a bit.
Loads of info scattered about. At the min im currently trying to piece together how to make a button open google maps to show a specific location.. or even open google direction so it uses your location and points to a place i define..
Easy said then done as im struggling with where i type intent codes etc..

Hey guys, I've been using android for about 2 months now (flashing ROM's helping with testing etc.) but now I want to contribute to the community. So i'm starting off by perhaps making a few simple apps then ROM's.
I have experience with some programming but nothing in-depth. I worked with python, perl and java already, got a few books on the subject and I found a few videos, which is the point of this post, I just thought I would share it with anyone else who is thinking about developing for our Ace.
Here they are:

Since I don't know much about it, are these videos a good guideline? Or can you Dev's point me in the right direction, I would love to be apart of the community.

Download Eclipse, and the Android sdk plugin, and get stuck right into app writing with loads of tutorials and github code out there.

Hey guys,
After doing a bit of research, I'm having some troubles. I would like to learn how to theme, but most of the guides and stuff that I come upon are pretty old (1-2 years), and I'm afraid they would be out of date.
Does anyone have any good, current sources where I can learn the ins-and-outs of theming?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is going to be modifying sense 4.0 since there is not much there can be done yet till there can be an update to the m10 decompiler. Hope this helps you, sorry if not much help.

That is the last I know Diamondback says it will be about 2 weeks for him to release the update for the decompiler but there is not a specific date but the good news is that soon we will have something to work with.
When I look at the ultimate guide to theming, which I have a couple of times, the first thing it mentions is stericsons apk signer. However, when I go to that thread he says that you can't sign apk's with windows 7. Is that true? If so, how do I work around it?

I am not sure what guide you are referring to, but I know it works on Vista and XP and I believe I have gotten to sign on W7 but not sure I rearly use that for themeing. I have used apktools and apktools manager so I have not tried stericsons signer.
Hi guys,
(you can skip the blablabla to the fat letters )
it's been a while i'm registered and totally stunned of the work which the devs do @ this Forum. For years i think about the possibilities with coding stuff. But always thought it's to hard and take years.
But now with android i will give it a try. Because it would be awesome to write stuff by myself or solve problems with apps cause i understand the code or log output.
The best thing i invented was a Premium account Alarm for Rapidshare. It was just a tiny little script which checks for certain words/banner on the site and will popup the Firefox with an alarmfile i set. And i was proud that i managed that the process was in the background. Acessable through the taskbar... Easy as hell. You see i got no clue but understand a little bit of html. I can search the code of sites for certain stuff i want...No skill at all but reading...
My goal is it to archieve an app which can transform not tapatalk supportetd Forums in a better format. Because i couldn't find anything. And it's annoying for me...
Would it be possible? I don't care if it's not compatible to google play or anyone. I want this because i "need" it. And i guess it's fun for me to develop. If it becomes an high recomended app. Awesome but my goal is to get it to work and have fun.
For now i'm on the Hello World app...
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards,
Sam

oh my god. This guy's such a noob
Well you got your foot in the door,but the HTML script on a web page is much different than linux code,this will take alot of researching and then alot more research and time.Im not a coder,but i am also learning and have been for a year now and i just barely scrapped the surface.Soo dont expect to develope an app by tomorrow.Expect alot of trial and error.
I guess it's possible but as mentioned above it takes time to learn to code from scratch. However there are a lot of good tutorials on the net which u can use to learn.

Good job, now just a few years and you're ready... Jokes aside, it seems to be very complicated to combine html and linux code so it might be a harsh experience for someone like you.
