Actually I wish I could be able to use my App Inventor programming skills to develop a fully or partially functional launcher apps. But there's no functionality present over that platform. I Googled every bit of information available over the Internet but alas i didn't find anything useful and additionally I didn't want my hands to get dirty on programming complex codes to create such app. So I arrived to this forum and finally decided to ask advanced members of XDA-DEVELOPERS forum to find solutions for my query.
Okay, now I realised after much experimenting with AI2 that so isn't possible at all!
Lol, just mess it up and use other tools.
For those who want to create their own theme can visit redraw.io by T-me/Timmy Studios.

Hey DEVs,
I've been a power user for almost a year now. I really really dig Android and I feel its about time that I should start developing for this awesome platform too.
I've previously worked in Java and MySQL but I'm completely new to Android Development. Noob is another word to sum it all up. I've tried few video tutorials by setting up SDK and Eclipse. So far that has worked pretty fine for me. I'm now planning to work on a GIS app that could at least incorporate local POIs of where I live.
Its just that I don't really know where to start things from. I've already spent few days looking for appropriate stuff but whatever I came across, was more like scattered pieces of a Jigsaw puzzle. Google Map APIs is another thing that I need alot to learn about ! so Kindly guide me through and give me something to start with ....... I'l be very very grateful !!
regards,
an aspiring dev !
I wrote a custom GIS android app in flash builder 4.5.1, the code base is flex and actionscript using ESRI's arcserver flex api and uses adobe air for native integration on a mobile device. The web service is a local service I am serving up through the town I work for, it is using ArcServer to serve the data. You can check out the app in the android market its called Vernon GIS Fire. ESRI also has an app in the market, it allows you to search their resource center for different web services, you could upload your own data in the resource center and serve it up using their resoucres

Hee,
I was wondering what is the best program or site to build your own android apps?
Jay448
google
you are long way from home, my friend. there is GOOGLE and your going to spend a day on reading its not like posting on this forum.
the web site "Stack Overflow" helps me a lot!
and if i had problem,i google it.
If you have to ask, app developing probably isn't for you...
The official Android Developer's Guide has a pretty good intro to Android app development. However, you need to know how to program in Java before you start with this guide.
If you know C++ you could make it without Java, since you can build apps using C++ if your target platform runs Android version 2.3 or higher. I would however recommend learning how to develop apps in Java first.
Sorry, I can't link to the developers guide because this is my second post in this forum and outside links are not allowed, but you could search for "android developer guide" on google and you should find it.
Happy deving, wish you best of luck
In my experiment, best way to learn new tech is try to make something with it rather than read document and tutorial.
There are many open source android on code.google.com, choose one of theme then try to custom it by adding feature, improve user experiment...
anddev and stackoverflow is good place to solver issue.

I actually just started learning Java and it's quite difficult for a beginner to learn all this stuff in short amount of time. It will probably take years to fully understand this sort of stuff.
Sites to learn Android App Development from
Lars Vogel Android Tutorial
Official Android Developer Site
TheNewBoston Video Tutorial on YouTube
The best software to develop Android Apps would be
Eclipse - Juno - Either the Java or the JEE version (I personally use the Java x64 version)
Photoshop - for image editing
Illustrator - for SVG based image editing
There are instructions on the Android Dev Site on setting up Eclipse for App Dev

I want to develop a new sms application for Android that suits my needs without all the extra stuff I don't need..
But where do I start, and is it difficult to get it done?
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

As a concept it shouldn't be ultra hard to develop, but it all depends how complex you want this sms application to be. As far as how hard it would be to develop such a application depends on your programming expertise. If you have never programmed anything before it's still manageable but it would take a lot of time and effort. Still take a look at some of these links that can hopefully get you started.

Good luck
Tasker (when run on GB or later) now comes with App factory, which allows you to conver tasker projects to Apps (no copyright problems... tasker allows you to do whatever you want with those created Apps, just mention tasker in your credits).
Seems like one of the easier options to me for developing simple applications for someone starting completely from scratch.
(I'm not a developer, take it fwiw).
I need to create a mobile app for my project. So here's my question.
What language should I use to create an android app?
And can someone share me some basic knowledge about mobile application.
I'd like to make a basic calculator.

the most common basic app for beginners is the calculator. u should be able to find a lot of youtube tutorials online.
Most of your android app coding will be done with a combination of xml and java.
You would use either eclipse with the adt plugin, or android studio to do so.
As was previously stated a calculator app should have many many tutorials for doing so online.
One of the better basic android tutorials I have found is by a fella named travis who has made a series of tutorials that he has posted on youtube under the name "thenewboston" what I like about them is he doesn't get overly technical and his delivery is sorta like being taught by one of your buddies over some beer. I have passed that to several of my friends who have asked me to "teach them to code" as I don't tend to have the patience to do that properly.
Hi everyone. I want to share some resources that may helpful for anyone who still don't know where to start.
If you don't have any background, consider learning programming using Scratch or Alice. It seems just suitable for kids but actually for everyone who want to think logically.
If you have some basic background and want to have solid Java background (which I recommend) before moving to Android development, you should start with "Head First Java". They also have "Head First Android", but personally I don't like it so much.
After you have a solid Java background, you can start learning Android using this free course on Udacity. It has 5 parts that cover everything that you need to make literally any app on Play Store.
After you completed the above course, let's make your own project. You don't have to learn other courses or textbooks in order to make an app. You should try to make your own app using what you have learned with the above course. When you making your project, you will encounter real-life problems. By solving it (using Google, StackOverflow, XDA, other tech forums, ...), you will learn more than any course or textbook can help you.
I hope you will find this post helpful for you. If anyone has a question, please leave your question below
Hi, new user here. Thanks for the read
Hi,
I just signed up on this forum and came across this thread and so decided to post a question. First, i have been a full-stack developer and now working on Cloud, AI/ML but android mobile app development is new to me and i am pursuing a self-paced training. My intention is to start off by learning the basics of android and the ide, the various elements and work my way up to the advanced level. Then start learning and work on flutter. I have a fair bit of experience on Java as i have developed java enterprise and web application (JSP, applet based) in the past.
Right now, i am looking at the Android Basics to Advanced nanodegree program offered by Google on the android site, udemy, udacity, etc and lots others on the internet. just wanted your opinion which course would be a good place to start.
Thanks.
