Beginner - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently discovered that I would love to start developing Android apps as a hobby and I have completed this set of lessons - http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html - successfully but now I want to learn more.
If anybody has any "making of" videos/series of people developing apps (in Eclipse) then please can you link it here.
Thank you.

Did you already go through all this tutorials http://developer.android.com/training/index.html?

wow cool. Didnt know that they offer such Lessons. Just always get redirected to the API. Did someone really made all the Trainings before creating Apps? I dont think so but its a very good starting point

http://www.vogella.com/articles/Android/article.html#firstandroidapp1
I also found this app from video2brain: http://www.video2brain.com/en/android i didn't try it yet but it looks really interesting
If somebody knows a source for a bit more experienced devs, please share with me

I would recommend taking a look at The New Boston android app development series (http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=6) it covers everything from essential basics to more advanced topics like databases and using OpenGL, among other android development topics.

[Q] noob question - creating a widget

Hi
I have programming experience in java, but i never did anything with cellphones and specially android.
I wanted to make a widget which will read very simple data from a small webpage, and to have it being updated once in a while on my home screen.
So,
1. Is it hard to do? If not, where can i find some tools and guides to do that?
2. maybe there is an app which does that for me?
thank you!

This is a great resource for Android development...
http://www.anddev.org/
I do know that there is an app that does exactly what you're talking about, but it wasn't very good when it first came out. I'll have a look and see if I can find it, but I can't remember the name. It was in the Android Apps & Games forum.
There's also an Android Software Development forum on xda, so that's always worth a look as well.
Good luck mate

Sorry mate - I'm not familiar with it. Ask on the app thread. Someone there should be able to help.

Making app & what do you want?

EDIT: IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME LEARN, EMAIL ME AT [email protected]
I am currently learning how too make Android apps.
I want too make a good app for everyone.
What do you want? Keep it simple - I'm still learning!
P.S How do you send raw commands in an app? Like asking for root etc.

Maybe an app that informs if a new ROM is available like ROM manager but for gt540.. I don't know anything about apps developing so sorry if it's too hard
Sent from my GT540
if your realy intrested let me know and ill be happy to provide any help need to get you started, but creating an app will require lots of work. ive been doing it for 6 months and still fight to get my head round some of the consepts.
i have 2 differet scripts for sending raw terminal command, one as root, and one that works as a string.
also for nitifying someone for a rom update should be very easy, my app does it when it is launched. we should be able to make it into a background service somehow.
feel free to e-mail me at

That actually sounds easy. Set up an xml page on a remote server, and have the app parse it. I would have to manually edit it though.

What are all the differences between member, senior member, and recognised developer?
Sent from my GT540 using Tapatalk
I think it changes according to the amount of posts. To be recognized developer, you must send a request and then the committee will decide.

Ah, thanks.
Is the recognised developer just roms, or apps etc? I may have it in the near future!

Hi, I would like to know how to parse and display XML on android.

u can just past the xml inside of a text box.
A useful app would be to be able to take hand written notes on a android tablet. There is NoteTakerHD on the iPad but nothing as great on android
Good luck man

first of all, it's easier for you to use market enabler to unlock restricted content. thus, you can download anything from the play store.
but here, I did that for you, fresk apk.

I'd recommend checking into one of those market locale changers too, but I think you might need to be rooted.

Thanks to both of you! Cheers guys.
Thank you indeed. I believe we need to be rooted for Market Enabler to work properly?
Secondly, how can we get the fresh apk of an app from the market like you did? It will be helpful.
BTW thanks again.

yes. ME wont work without root.
fresh apk downloaded from the play store using ME method. to dowload it form your pc, you need the Apk Downloader for chrome, but latest chrome broke it already. you need to be on chrome 21 to use this if you need it so much.
cheers.

You are very obnoxious with your post. Search engines are there for a reason and should be used instead of making a thread for someone to do his dirty work!

For some reason I understand his situation. even thou if he searched before, it's pretty complicated. Is he rooted? Is he able to use the apk downloader for chrome?
For some reason, there are some causes why someone invented the forum. At last this thread will be shown on the search engine for future reference.
So why wasting your time posting if you can help?
Keep the thread clean. No offense to anyone.

Anyone can teach me how to make a simple Android app?

Can anyone just teach me the basics of using Eclipse and teach me how to make a simple Android App? I know to make only one simple android app with only Hello World!
I really would like to dive into Android App Development and I don't know how to start. I don't have any experience with Java or other programs.
Every time I try to make an app following android development guide I can not success cause I always getting some Errors, even when I fixed them my App imediatelly force closes. That web site is not explaining me very well. Also tried some guides from other web sites but nop I am not satisfied.
Can anyone just teach me to make simple app and I will work hard and will try to make that app even better and I will try to build my own app. Please. I really love it!
