I have been looking around the forums here on XDA but haven't found a suitable place to ask about some Android coding.
Where should I create a topic?
I'm new to Android so it's not about something haxor-leet-stuff.

Go to developer.android.com
There are many examples. ...
If you already know java, then it's pretty much easy. You just have to know the api. .. also thing can search in YouTube

You can find forums about that ..you can learn how to do it

1st things 1st. You will need to read quite a bit. You will need some basic understanding of Linux, download SDK (android tools kit) Here are 2 of the sites to get the free software.
Then I would suggest you read in the Android Development section (not Vibrant dev) the one that is @ the top when you first get on to XDA Here is the links:
XDA Android Dev
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=524
http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/l1/lesson1e.html
SDK:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Then once you can play around a bit and be able to see the code and see the structure of the rom, mod , etc then Try taking one apart and putting it back together, This will get you educated on how to mod something.
Then start to try a theme first and see if you can do some theming on the phone then once you have done that, Then you will be able to find people to help you
That is my suggestion and approach, good luck

I want to make games for android, but I never learned java.
I tried some example sources, but I couldn't figure out how it works.
Please tell me if there's nice free tutorials about basic java and app development with picture or video.

+1 for me..
I found these tutorials quite helpful when learning Java a few years ago.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/
Unfortunately they won't get you straight into Android development, but you'll get a good knowledge of Java.
Thanks!

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?

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!

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!
