Since the og droid rooting has been one of my biggest hobbies. I am interested in learning more about developing roms. I want to know if anyone has a Site where I could learn about it so one day I can try to contribute to the Android community. I'm an information technology major and just started java and c# last semester but my professor's told me my school doesn't offer anything related to rooting phones or developing roms. I'm also interested about making apks so if anyone has any suggestions as to what to read or what Site has good information on the subject I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

For making apks, you must know JAVA. If you do, then visit http://developer.android.com/guide/components/index.html download Android SDK and Eclipse and start developing. If you like video tutorials, I found this great tutorial showing how to develop apps in eclipse. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2F07DBCDCC01493A&feature=plcp
I hope I helped at least a bit.
He's right, applications are mostly written in java language with a few other programming languages thrown in the mix..go to barnes and noble,look in the computer section and you will find an array of books on developing applkcations for the android OS...As far as developing roms,there are two types of developers...themers and innovators...the themers only add eye candy and scripts which any script kiddie can do..I myself woulf love to learn the complexities of android developing but I lack a platform in order to do so...I've got limited knowledge on linux but understand a few things.....how nice would it be if you had an insider from google...lol

If you honestly have to ask a question like that in a forum like this, I doubt you have the aptitude/initiative to learn the necessary skills. If you did have those skills, you'd already know the answers to that question.
Edit - OK. I'll throw you a bone. Java, C, and no doubt you could use others. Now then, I think you have a lot of learning to code to do.

It's mildly insulting to me and anyone else who has studied Computer Science that you seem to think you can learn how to create apps off a tutorial. No doubt you think you can learn how to do this after just a couple of hours reading this magic "java c tutrial".

Ahm,
Being a self-taught programmer, I'll feed the troll:
Go to youtube, find a tutorial on how to install "Eclipse", maybe even "Eclipse for Android".
Go to google and type "learning java for android".
You can probably get a 'hello world' app going in under a day if you have any aptitude.
That's it, troll fed.

Self taught is one thing. It still takes a lot of time and effort. Seeing as how this dude clearly can't seem to search for himself, I would venture a guess he doesn't have the aptitude necessary to learn how to do this on his own.
Hi,
As the topic says, I have little to no programming experience (a little html, but that's about it) and would like to learn how to Program, on android.
Does anyone have any useful links on where I can start down this long road?

This is your right place friend

If you want to develop ROMs, the above reply is sufficient, if it is apps you want, then start by learning Java. Then go to developer.android.com, you'll find all the needed resources there..
Yeah, it's programming I want to do. Java it is then.
Thanks for the information. Any recommendations for literature?

I've never programmed an Android app before, but a few years back I did do a bit of Java programming on my PC. I'm looking for recommendations on a book that gives step-by-step instructions on how to program apps using the Eclipse IDE. I have tried the training found here:
http://developer.android.com/training/index.html​
but I need a lot more details on the fundamentals with lots of examples.

For a start you shall use mit app inventor by google

Need help with the android API
I love android and more importantly, would love to develop for android . But the problem is I need some help on how to develop apps for android. Developer.Android is great, but there's no one for doubts and there are things that I cannot understand directly by looking at the code and other given info. I love XDA community because of their love for development, and I trust people at XDA for providing the right help.
I could really use some help on the issue, where do I look for getting familiar with API and every thing else to finally develop an app?
I am not asking for some complete guide books or something else like a complete tutorial (maybe yes but i think the they are hard to find and are not that substantial), just a happening place where there is some substantial material that offers a little more help on what developer.android has for develop.
Just let me know what's the best way for me to continue, even if it is sticking with developer.android and trying to understand it !!

Thanks. I will try out the MIT App Inventor. Just curious, how does it compare with the Eclipse IDE for developing Android apps?
Pete
MIT App Inventor it is just for a start! You can t do very complicated things but it is the best for learning the basics...it has virtual emulators, some useful tutorials, you shall take a look

Thanks. I tried the first tutorial. It was fun, but seems like a game! I think I really need to get back to the Eclipse IDE and learn how to use it. Anyone have other suggestions to help me understand the fundamentals of Eclipse.
Pete
I started with this. http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=6
you can use eclipse with android sdk of course. :fingers-crossed:
if you want to make games with 3d or something like that you can use unreal or unity.

Thanks for the tutorials! I'm in the same boat. I'm wanting to learn to develop, and the android and java sites leave some things a little unclear (to me anyways).
I built an app in one day, only resources were the Android developer website and StackOverflow.
I am 15 years old...
It's easy. If you want to do something, just search it on google. I had 0 java experience before!
EDIT: I recommend http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html

What app did you make in a day?
Mine (PhotoDream) took me 3 months, and It hope it will worth.

Well you won't know it.
It is for Dutch students in my state/province/region. It is used for checking school schedules, check if student can stay at home (because a teacher is sick or w/e) and save schedules for offline usage.
ATM, my app is limited to support only 5 schools, wich are 10k students. It has that limit because the headmaster forbade me for the time being...
Anyway, it has a pretty neat layout and dus what it's supposed to do
Hi everyone, I have been using the Android OS for a few years now, and I love it. I have just decided today that I am no longer going to just watch from the sidelines as apps get released. I want to get my greasy little mitts in on the action.
I would really appreciate some advice on what I should start with. I would like to learn Java, and or Python. I just need to know what direction I should go in. I really want to create games. Any advice would be amazing

I really would advise learning java. A really good tutorial sight is thenewboston.com. It has a multitude of programming tutorials as well as android tutorials. After going through these tutorials, I would recommend using the andengine library for games as it makes collisions, physics, and animations much easier to deal with. Good Luck!

try the deitel and deitel ebook for android programing it is a bit difficult if your a beginner but it sums up everything you need to know i find it great
you can even try the lynda series for android they are a straight forward approach and easy

I love android coding, and maybe I can teach u something.
I can't post links yet (this is actually my first post in the forums!), but I found the Android Bootcamp 2012 video series from NewCircle priceless. It's available for free on YouTube and it is based on the development of an entire app from scratch. It is slightly outdated, but very well made.
I also followed the Coursera's course on Android by prof Adam Porter: it's free as well and it just ended, so it's really up to date. It is based on a different approach though, covering different topics and providing several little projects, instead of a single one.
Imho though you do need some knowledge of Java. I came from a C++ background, so i was able to follow those courses while also learning bits of Java too, but starting with zero knowledge of both the Android api and Java could really be overwhelming, just warning you.
While following the Coursera's course, I saw people recommending a free course about Java taught by John Purcell on the Udemy platform (I might be wrong on the guy's first name).

After taking that Coursera clas by Prof. Porter I was able to put an app in the app store. Aww yea.
Yea me too, it was a really cool course. Are you planning on following the next course? It seems like a tough one!
