Surely just get this thread deleted for such an arrogant post!?!?

[Request] Pidgin for android, pidroid, libpurple already ported

I did a forum search and surprisingly didn't see anything come up for this. At any rate, someone ported libpurple over to android but it lacks a gui, and probably needs a bit of polish.
I don't have enough posts to link to the project page but if you google pidroid it's the first result that pops up, some guy at university of waterloo in canada did the libpurple port, with the files available to download.
Maybe someone here could pick up the project and make an app out of it? I know myself and alot of others I know that use pidgin would love an android port, specifically for the OTR stuff.
1up: i would love pidgin on android

If you have no prior knowledge of Programming like me you should defiantly take some free online classes. MIT and Harvard have some excellent classes online for beginners. Here is the thread with a bunch on Online classes you can take.

Now I decided to do that and also i just dived right in to a Rom with Android Kitchen to understand what it actually is, how the files are compiled, and what you can and can not change. By doing this i was able to understand how to Build a slightly modified Rom from CM9 Source and successfully flashed it to my Bionic.Here is the thread i followed to do this.

Last but not least Android SDK. Install it, do tutorials, and just plain mess around. You can learn alot by doing as well.

Well Good Luck with everything and i hope this helps.

How to get started in android app development

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...

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:
