[Q] How to program Android?

Hi guys,
I've been wanting to learn how to program Android for a while now out of personal interests as well as to contribute to the community. I've tried looking into it but all I find is how to program Android applications in Java. I'm looking more on the lines of programming to develop ROMs and such, would that be in Java as well?
I'm not a programmer (only took a Python course in college) but I'd like to learn and if any one could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Android is made up of C, C++ and Java.

Here's a topic started by Cyanogen himself (of CyanogenMod) that contains tips for those looking to start ROM development:

Thank you FaultException for your reply. The post from Cyanogen was insightful and I believe that it is just what I needed!

Hi,
I would say that my knowledge of JAVA is fair enough, intermediate. I just started developing on android for the sole purpose of creating a few book applications.
Are there any tutorials/guides that you guys would recommend that i can follow in order to do so please?
Many thanks.
Without offend you... please search in Google, there are many Android tutorials, like this.
First, you need to setup Java SE, Android SDK, Eclipse and ADT Plugin for Eclipse (in that order), then you can begin to develop

Thanks for that mate. I've set all that up already. I was looking for making apps for ebooks in particular. Are you aware of any tutorials for that please?
Thanks.
Nope, sorry dude, I only know general tutorials like above
if you know java, now you only need to know the android classes.
learn the classes you need use from here:
developer.android.com

A tutorial is the best way to get started... try EasyAppCreation to get all the help you need :good:
yes a tutorial is the best thing to begin with
the first place you should go is android developers' website : https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEZdpuRo54zKfwYLJXUmICi3s2HUA
but of course you will first have to learn java (xml,sql as options) :http://www.freejavaguide.com/corejava.htm
if you already have some linux knowledge it will be of good help to understand how android realy works , i know it souds stupid but you should first of all start from wikipedia to find out more about android : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android
for learning there is also Android IDE (free) that you can find on play store it is an ide for android that works on android , you can find on play store also some references about java programing language and tutorials for begining android development , ps: you can also make apps with phonegap if you are already a web developer , but i dont advice you to use phonegap for heavy projects as you dont have full control of the performance : http://phonegap.com/developer/
note that a version of phonegap on play store that works on android (paid) , it is made by the same team that made AIDE , dont forget about html5 apps also (they are multiplatform but need a browser with html5 support) , i hope i helped you .

[Q] Some basic questions about developing

Hi guys I am new here and I wanted to start programming apps for Android devices. I have some simple questions and I hope you can answer them:
1. In which language do I need to programm in Android Studio? Java or C? Or doesn't it matter?
2. Is there a list where you can find the special comments you need to develop for an Android because programming a programm for a PC is much different than programming an App for a Smartphone (for example a special command line for using the touchscreen)
3. Where can I find source codes from Apps which already have been published because I think looking at source codes from other Apps is the best way for learning.
Thanks in advance guys

Anyone?
