Hi guys,
I'm looking for a visual basic 2010 plugin that enables me to develop an android app within the visual basic environment. I've searched everywhere and found these apps that don't do the job :
1.Basic4Android (Has its individual UI)
2.Mono for android (This is one is integrated in C# only )
Please help,
Thanks
anything found

Very nice idea, that would be just great. I tried already Basic4Android but it's pretty far from native VB. So far I haven't found any VB plugin or such stuff for VB. Maybe some day...

I have same problem, basic4android is actually ok for basic apps, but 2 big minuses:
1) Lot of windows, would like all in one, like example Photoshop.
2) App isn't popular, addons only on forum, with very loyal members, so no leaked additional libs for something more serious

I think you'd actually be surprised what you can do in Basic4Android! I personally love it, I've built games in it as well as a homescreen launcher. There are actually tons of additional libraries - you can make floating apps for instance with one of them. And if you know how you can always make your own libs and still enjoy the much easier interface and set up...

Yes, I use B4A. But these minuses still stay... UI windows should be merged, like photoshop...
I'm a C# developer by profession and have dabbled in Android application development in the early days of Android (prior to Eclair). At the time, I followed the Google Tutorial, various websites and bought a couple of books. However, I felt there were some things lacking explanation to fully understand how things worked. I've recently had the interest to revisit it. I know there's the Xamarin software that will allow me to develop Android applications using C# and Visual Studio but I was keen to stick with Java code and Eclipse. I know the Google Tutorial has been updated but a brief look at it still seems to show there's not enough explanation behind certain aspects.
Can anyone recommend a good book that takes you through a real and working Android application which has good explanations for things along the way?
TIA
Hello , i have an IT project lined up regarding the programming of an android app (a high level)
i would like to know that which is the best free book/pdf document is available online for learning android programming.
i have started learning python, i just wanted to know whether it can help me in any way?
Emmm....I think python won't help. By the way what languages do you know? If you like you can continue your project with Mono Android. Which is compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio and you can do many things easier with it. In that case you have to know C#. Here's the thread with many links. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223114

Do yourself a favor and simply use Java if possible. That is how they intended to develop on Android. In my experience anything else is good only if specifically needed.
JAVA is the most used language to make apps for Android but there are alternatives and the biggest I see is Mono fro Android which uses C# as a programming language

I second that. Android is mostly designed around C and Java. Even if you code C/C++, you sometimes have to use JNI to call back into Java, because some functionality is only exposed in a Java package, not in native code.
So Java is the best way to make full use of the Android platform, and gives you the best compatibility. Most tools, documentation and other resources are also aimed at Java development.
Java is default android development language

you can develop android app with python but maybe your released app size is so big
because your app must statically have python interpreter.
it is not easy stuff, if you have not many experience of android development.
python is not too far from java or c/c++ so it may help anyway, but now you should go to java ...
but the most important is now to know how to use the Android framework
Nowadays, Java is the most useful language to create application for android, but I will prefer mono for C# as a programming language.
yeah...man u should use java it would really help u.....i m 14 i too wanna develop apps...so i learn JAVA it's the best ....
By the way gud luck with ur project

Hello guys,
I'm sorry for the stupid questions but I'm very new to mobile development. Your help would be very important.
Does anyone have experience with both dot42 and Xamarin to develop C# apps for Android?
Xamarin looks nice, but it seems that in order to have Visual Studio integration you should subscribe the business package which is quite expensive. So I've seen that dot42 has VS integration for free.
I know that I could use Xamarin Studio for free. But here are some questions about this:
- does the VS integration mean that you can use all the libraries that you can use for normal desktop apps developed in VS?
- is the GUI building similar as the one that can be created for desktop apps once one develop for Android in VS?
- if I want to chart something, I have seen that in Xamarin Studio I should buy some component. There is just a bar chart for free. If I have something integrated with VS can I use the chart tool we have in VS directly?
Thanks a lot for your help.
I need to create a mobile app for my project. So here's my question.
What language should I use to create an android app?
And can someone share me some basic knowledge about mobile application.
I'd like to make a basic calculator.

the most common basic app for beginners is the calculator. u should be able to find a lot of youtube tutorials online.
Most of your android app coding will be done with a combination of xml and java.
You would use either eclipse with the adt plugin, or android studio to do so.
As was previously stated a calculator app should have many many tutorials for doing so online.
One of the better basic android tutorials I have found is by a fella named travis who has made a series of tutorials that he has posted on youtube under the name "thenewboston" what I like about them is he doesn't get overly technical and his delivery is sorta like being taught by one of your buddies over some beer. I have passed that to several of my friends who have asked me to "teach them to code" as I don't tend to have the patience to do that properly.
