I have application that I have been developing for over a year and half now. I used the app to teach myself Android programming. When I started the development Gingerbread was the main sdk and that is what I targeted. Well now ICS and Jellybean are out and I was looking at migrating my app from Gingerbread to the newer sdks.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips, tutorials or any other areas that I could review to get ideas on how to most efficiently go about this process. I would like to keep everything in the same files if possible and not have to start from scratch.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Eric
Target newest sdk and set minimum to the current sdk (gb??? )
There is a support library out, use it and rewrite any tabs to use Fragments.
Than try with Emulators whether it does work on jb and gb, if it isnt working correctly, looking logcat should help

Can someone tell me where can I find tutorials and books for programming Android Apps? I already installed Eclipse and now I need to read something that will help me how to begin the programming. I know some Java programming and know I need to learn how to apply it in developing Android Apps. I need some sources other than developer.android.com
Here's a tutorial:
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
Also, you can always use Google:
https://www.google.com/search?q=android development tutorial
Or even YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=android+development+tutorial
to find tutorials.
thenewboston on youtube. best tutorials ever. for java beginners and for android programming. i have a subscription to lynda.com and thenewboston is much better. fyi.

There are several courses on itunes u.
OK. I'm new to this forum and I didn't expect answers so quick I think this is more then enough for beginning. I'll see what will I do with these, and then if I need (and I hope I will), I'll search for more. Thanks a lot guys
I am super new to development but really enjoying it and would like some assistance porting a yahoo widget. (Mostly javascript it seems) to function inside my android app. I personally dont have the knowledge for this but learn quickly and would like some help if anyone can spare a little time to show me the basic's of this particular action. The Widget seems pretty simple. It has really one main function. It logs a player in, checks to see if he's currently in a race and if not begins one for him, then repeats the check and start periodically.
Thanks for reading.

(Can't post to the "development" forums yet, so this is the best I can do....)
I'd like to have the Android SDK docs installed on my Nexus 7 so I can RTFM while away from the office. After downloading them using the SDK Manager within Eclipse I've tried copying the guide, reference, and assets directories onto the tablet and accessing the index.html files with Chrome, but the navigation doesn't work properly and things are incredibly slow. (The links within are relative, so they resolve, but it's still unusable.)
I have also not been able to find a PDF file that contains the SDK docs, though you'd think that would be an obvious resource to have around. Lots of people TALK about PDF versions but I have yet to actually find one.
This seems like a really obvious thing. If you're developing for a tablet, you'll own a tablet, so why not have the docs on it so you can do something useful while away from the office?
Anyone know of anything that accomplishes this? Thanks!

Thank you.
Now... does anyone know of Android-tablet compatible Android SDK docs?
Hi, I'm having a hard time working within Eclipse and getting started. I'm used to Visual Studio and thought I could start writing code, debug and go.
What I've done so far is downloaded Eclipse for android developer tools, and started downloading a bunch of plug ins for different versions under the Android SDK. I have downloaded many sdk build-tools, but I'm unsure how to compile and debug (the equivalent of hitting F5 in VS) so I can see what my application previews as and test it.
Can someone help me get to the point where I can write code and test/debug it visually? I've installed API's 14-20.
Thanks for reading.
I watched the video here
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-t...-1-setting-up-eclipse-and-android-sdk-xda-tv/
trying to resolve this on my own, still no luck. Is there anyone who can get my setup, so I can stat building Hello World projects?
Here is what I am seeing with the most basic application for "my first app"

You most likely never got an answer as you provided no real troubleshooting info like IS version, how you installed it and where. Also there are many tut know the site about setting up eclipse. Best bet might be looking in the theme threads as that is what it is used for primarily. Also might check the google developers page. You have to remember this is not a support forum. Basic questions like this most of the time will go unanswered
Hello Everyone i recently started developing for windows phone , and i have been following this unity tutorial of the space shooter game , i am having a really hard time grasping the Technics for changing the controls of the player from keyboard to windows phone touch control, so can anyone please care to explain it for me
thank you and have a nice day
First of all, this is not a Unity forum. Those exist, and you should be asking questions specific to Unity development on them, not on here. This is a mobile devices / mobile OSes forum.
Second, you're in the wrong sub-forum. This sub-forum is for announcing apps and games. If you want to ask questions and get answers, you should try the Q&A forum (crazy, right?). Once you know what the heck you're doing, if you want to do some advanced discussion of development or hacking, you can used the Development & Hacking sub-forum. Once you've actually got an app to show off, or are looking for beta testers or other such feedback, come back to this forum...
