Hi all. Feel great to join such a huge forum and I have a question. Yeah. New stupid member with studpid question. But I hope it's not stupid enough and you guys be able to answer it(hope so).
It's kinda simple question for all of you who have some experience in Android Freelancing. For example you get an job request to build a Android Bluetooth App to detect other devices and some other functionality which client asked to do. So, what is your first steps to create the app using Android SDK Eclipse or whatever(PhoneGap, Titanium, etc...)? Creating from the scratch or already have pre-build code to start with. I always curious how developers start making app for clients, so it would be awesome if someone have something to say in this situation. Appreaciate any answers. Thank you

Hi all,
re: App development.
I have some experience of JAVA and have a fair bit of experience with JS and PHP, so coding is not alien to me.
I have come across a few things where I have thought "an App would be great for that!" and would like to investigate App development. I have read through a couple of tutorials, but they all assume more Android experience than I have.
I'm not after specifics from board members here, but wondered if anyone knew of an 'Android Apps 101" or an Android App development alternative to the famous 'Hello World' intros there are for most languages.
Thanks for any leads people can give me.
I think the Android Developer's Guide is great http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html
Just started developing a small app myself a few days ago, and the biggest problem so far is Java itself. The android development itself is really easy. You can create UIs via drag & drop when using eclipse + android plugin and the rest is well documented in the guide I posted.
:/ how I managed to miss that I don't know...
thanks very much - exactly what I'm after

Can you make a Remote Play app???????

Like Playstation 3 remote play? Probably not, it'd be ridiculously difficult.
I am an aspiring android developer trying to teach myself the language. I would like to find a project, maybe open source, that I can get involved in as a real world experience with android programming.
I am wondering if there are people here that are either working on, or who could recommend, a project that I could join? I think that working on a modern app would be a great way for me to continue my learning. I have been working with books, but I worry that the information might not be completely up to date.
I am excited to get involved with real world app programming. I hope to be helpful to any project that I join Thanks to everyone in advance!
Hi MastrFett,
It is great to see how exiciting a person could be when learning. I do not have a project but I recommend you to do one for your own.
When doing something that you are going to release you do the best of yourself and you learn much more. Facing real problems is very exciting. There are lot of things that a book wouldn't explain you; you will discover them when you know that not only you is going to use your app.
Try something and upload it on Google Play. Don't get bored reading questions/answers on StackOverflow -it will be your best friend :laugh:-
Patedit,
Thanks. My only problem is I don't feel like I have many good ideas of my own right now. I think the few I have would require algorithms more advanced than my level of skill. I'll have to keep thinking.
I was just hoping to find something that would give me the chance to just jump in head first on a project right away. I do eventually want to do something on my own when I come up with the right idea.
You need a good idea if you want to become rich
If you want to learn, you don't need great ideas I know it could be frustrating at first... Imagine something you need or that will help you in your daily use of your smartphone.
For example, yesterday I made for me a widget in which I could see the next alarm time. With pressing on the widget, the Alarm Clock app is launched. That could sound 'easy' but it took me several hours. I did it because I wanted a nice widget to do so and a shortcut to the Alarm Clock app which I didn't have.
Good luck!
There is an app idea I had, but I found out there are a lot that already do what I want on google play. Should I still make the app for experience? I don't know if it is worth it if the app already exists.

Definitely.
There are already three apps like mine (see my signature)
But I still made it and posted it. Result : 110,000 downloads and #11 in the Top New Paid category last week
Hi,
I saw on Internet some services that give you the possibility to test an Android app on the web: for example, Manymo launches an emulator on a remote server and give you the possibility to interact with it. AppSurfer let you test your Android app in an emulator-like environment. Pieceable Viewer is similar to AppSurfer but for iOS.
According to you, how these services are implemented?
Maybe there are some emulators running on a remote server on which run a vnc server, but looking at AppSurfer or PieceableViewer they looks too responsive for this implementation.
Any ideas?
Thanks
There's a forum for the Motorola Defy, and looking around, I find many people asking the same question as you. Apparently, there's still no way to root it.
Keep looking/waiting.

I'm sorry but I didn't understood your answer. I looked in the Motorola Defy forum but I didn't find any reference to what I was asking for
Can you paste the link of the thread you're speaking about?
Thank you
No one has any idea about it?
(I hope this is the correct section of the forum for this type of thread)
Wow. Sorry, I must have replied to the wrong thread! I have no memory of reading your post.
Whoops!
Hey guys!
I am currently working on a school project about the topic of android development. If you could take your time and answer these question for me, it would be much appreciated.
1. What is your process when developing an Android application from start to finish?
2. How can you design the GUI to get the user more involved and more interested?
3. How do your plan your ideas for your application?
4. Which is the best way to distribute your application? Is there other options?
Thank you,
Casey

Well first of all, this is the wrong place to ask this question but still. You'll need Android Studio to program an app (or use xamarin with c# if you don't want to use java). There are extensive tut's about creating your first android application on the internet provided by google. Try to complete (most of) the tut's that they suggest. After that you'll (hopefully) have a basic understanding of programming in android.
But be reminded that learning to program is a process that could take a long time, depending om how much time and effort you put in to it.
Goodluck!
