I know that its on java but does anyone have some links, books or anything they can recommend to learn this?
Anything helps
-Thanks
Google is your best friend, cheers. Oh and check the stickies those are helpful but if you have questions you can't find in the forums, double check again and then ask you question. Just my 2cents

Welcome to xda jcandroid87,
Start by reading the sticky written by cyanogenmod.
He posted a quick guide of what to read / learn before you start plucking roms apart to create your own.
Good luck!

Personally, I don't mind spending a lot of time searching, but it does take away from the time that could be spent actually learning the stuff. So, I hope this helps!
Follow the links in my sig too.
great advice

Thanks for your support & advice
Time to start reading....
So, guys, i have a question or two.
I want to develop an app for personal use, which, if it works, could be used by various other people.
it is very specific what i want to build, but i have no clue how to go about it. c
can anyone give advice on where the best place to start with this process is?
it may be a long shot, but it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Oliver
There have been a few tutorials from Adam Outler on the XDA TV
Well for starters, if you have no programming background you will need to learn to program in the Java Language. Then once you master that, you will have to read up on the android developers website about different topics. Then get familiar with the SDK and API and start building your app.
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not development forums.
Thread moved.
Hi
I would say the best place to start is at 'developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html'
They have a step-by-step guide how to install the things needed to get started...
Another good tutorial site for me is vogella.com
I would be careful about starting in right away with the app you want to build.
Your idea might be rather complicated, and I think it is important to start with something really simple.
Learning to do Android from scratch is rather a lot of work - don't under-estimate it and expect to make your idea happen very quickly.
I'm not trying to discourage you - just to make sure your expectations are realistic so you have a good experience.
Hi all
My first post, please forgive if this is cited in the wrong forum.
Just heard HTC are not updating there software with regard to my Desire HD, so I have decided to have a go myself.
I have no idea what I'm doing, I don't understand the techno terms etc. Am I too ambitious to put Jelly Bean on the DHD? How do I do it? What do I need to do this?
Can anyone guide me (text, videos) through it, I really do need the basics taught here, abc's and all that.
Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Neil.

Hi,
I hope anyone who is familiar with rooting could help me answer this question. What I am looking at is how some of the contributors here are able to create a step by step guide to rooting a particular phone for a particular build.
What are the files that are needed and what are the steps needed after obtaining such files? I am very interested to learn about the process to rooting and would like to seek help and advice in this area.
Thank you in advance!

Oh boy. Welcome to xda, Yitch. It's hard to search for stuff sometimes on the xda app (which I'm on), so I can't help point you... But it's here, if you search for it. Please read up on the "New to xda" threads that are also all over here. Because you need to know the better you back up your questions with what u have done to look for the answer yourself, the more potential help you will get with an answer. Search here and on google, you will find your answer. Kind of like asking where to get a cup of coffee when there's a caffe shop just down the street. Also search for tutorials and guides for learning the Linux code Android is based on, cuz you will need to refer to it to really begin to understand. That, and time. Most who are knowledgeable enough to write those guides up so we all can understand have a lot of time logged into writing and editing code...which does not come easy. I guess what I'm telling you is, the info is all out there, but no one will be able to give you a quick and easy answer. This is gonna take time for you (and anyone) to really get a working knowledge you're looking for. Sorry I can't help more. Good luck.
Hi everyone, I've recently finished to read a very thorough book about java programming and now I'd like to put into practise what I've learned. I'd like to start developing android apps, but, even though I searched a lot through internet to find something that could help me with this, I didn't find much. So I'm asking you, what should I do to learn how to develop android app and how should I begin?
Looking through the sections and threads here is your best bet...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/app-development
Good luck!

Ok but I don't think that is what I need. I think a book or a tutorial could help me because I know almost nothing about android developing: I just know a few things about activities, that's all; but if I had to make an actual app, I wouldn't know where to start.
Within that section I linked is this subsection,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/coding/education
Lots of learning resources there! :good:
