[Q] FOR DEVS: Good way to get into Android development? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

And by Android development, I mean developing and porting roms, kernels, etc, not so much of app development.
Is the general consensus just to learn Java? Anything else you guys suggest?

[REQUEST] ** WANTED *** Rom Builders for Android

Now that we've managed to get into an Android GUI and have a working touch screen driver,we need experienced rom builders to come forward to develop android sdcard based roms.
If you have the experience and would like to get involved, now is the time to step forward and get involved.
Please post here or contact Markinus or myself on the irc #toshdroid channel.
Thanks
Noone? Sad
I would make a request in the general Android Development section bally3. It's not like many Android dev's will be browsing the other sections of typically non-Android phones.

I use Linux all the time at home and work! I now feel how useful it could have been if I spent some time playing with ROM building etc rather than playing with WinMo customizations! I am so following the android on tg01-type threads Will try to spread the word too and see if anyone can come forward to help
Good luck and keep up the good work
Some links of video showing Toshdroid running on TG01.

[Q] Learning to dev

Im really interested in learning to develop for the android platform. Are there any programs or books that would help with the process? As of right now im trying to pick up the basic terminology by lurking in the development section of various Android phones.
-Thanks
There are lot of threads like this... try search a bit
To learn application development, it will be good if you have some java skills. I will suggest to visit
developer.android.com
Read through the thread I posted here a couple weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069483
Basically everything you need to get started and compile CM from source.
I gave up after that, damn laziness.
I hope this thread helps you as much as it did me and many others!

[Q] How to become a rom developer?

Howdy everyone!
After using android for a few years (since 2011) and experimenting with a lot of roms and kernels, I am now looking to take the next step: to become a rom/kernel developer!
My problem is, I have no programming or developing experience, AND I don't know any programming language.So I am a complete beginner at that stage.
Therefore I ask you guys, where do I start my journey to become a rom/kernel devloper?
Many thanks for all help!

Good plan... but you are asking in the wrong place. XDA has a number of forums catering for ROM cooking and development. These are Android specific rather than phone specific and therefore far more appropriate than this forum.
Suggest you start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and have a look through the many and varied areas that will help you.

Install the Android sdk, ADB, Java\Eclipse, and get prepared for lots of reading Set up decompiling and deodexing programs/environments (ApkMultiTool, Tickle My Android, etc) Search in Android General and other subforums, there is a TON of stuff to learn on this site! Entire sections devoted to teaching this kind of thing.

Looking for a somewhat experienced developer

Hey guys!
I'm rather new to all Android development-related stuff, but I'm eager to learn every single bit of Android, from apps to ROMs, source code, and whatever is out there. Now you might wonder why am I looking for a developer? Well... I'd love to have someone to fall back onto, ask for advice, someone who knows what he/she is doing, somewhat like a tutor. I want to learn stuff, but I have NO clue where to begin. Following guides would help me on a little, but it doesn't really teach me how to use the knowledge shown in the guide in other projects.
TL;DR: I want someone who would like to help me learning about android (OS) development
Thank you very much,
Ririshi

[Leran and Study] making a custom ROM

Hey, at first many thanks to XDA Android Development and Developers. I like android smart phone when I meet XDA Android Development. If there is no android developments, many android users will choose iOS iPhone.
I know S6/edge is still new system by SAMSUNG and many difficult things to hack them. Or I can do something for the S6/edge developers to learn and study? I am a newbie in android development. But I have many free times and I wanna learn. Thanks in advance.
