When googling the subject of this thread it is not clear how to proceed. There seems to have plenty of tools.
What is the simplest way to build an app on ubuntu (16.04) ? Preferably on the command line.

There is no easy way. Anything that is worth doing is always worth the work you need to do.
Here is a Java-Script Builder
Don't know if you know anything about writing script or anything but you can PM(private message) me with an email address and I'll send you a zipped attatchment with a program for windows pc. It's called Sencha-Touch 1.1.1 App Maker.
I'm sure if your running windows on your PC and your here then you already have java runtime. Just update it if necessary at Java.com. Just click where it says "Do I Have Java" to check and update your version.
You will probably also have to go to Oracle(the java website) and download and install the "Java SE 7u2" for developers from the download section.
If you Need direct links to the Java's, I will include them in email to you.
Hope this gives ya some insight.
Can't get the zip to upload to an email but can give ya the website link in one. Don't think I'm allowed to post outside links.

Have you tried out DaVinci Studio? it's a dev tool based on HTML5 and JavaScript...
You can get it for free at their website and ask questions on their forum if you need help with it.
Eclipse + Android SDK
I highly recommend using the standard Eclipse setup with the Android SDK. Java is pretty easy to learn, and can create games that are very simple to complex. I was confused where to start off as well, and tried out AndEngine. There isn't much documantation for AndEngine, so I followed Kilobolt's tutorial on game development. One of the best tutorials of programming that I have ever seen. I am working on a platformer at the moment, and everything is going pretty well. In simple, google "Kilobolt". He has tutorials for setting everything up. However, the tutorial begins with standard Java development, and Android comes into play when you are ready to port the game. Good Luck. :good:
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

Could some1 point me in the right direction plz?!

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:

[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

Hi @raspiduino! I am interested in VXP Apps & Games, whether it can be emulated in Android or Windows. Please tell me how to get the emulator.
Okay here is the thing:
If you have the source code of the vxp, you can install MRE SDK and compile it to x86 vxp, then run it in MODIS emulator.
If you only have the ARM vxp, then probably you can't emulate it for now, but an emulator is being developed Ximik Boda to do this.
The easiest way is to get a MRE phone (Nokia S30+) and do this, but you can wait for the ARM VXP emulator.
Thanks!

Need help compiling a project from github site

Firstly, I don't know if this is a right site/forum to ask this question but this seems to be most active android development forum when googling for 'android development forum' even though this site seems to be mosty about rooting and mods which is not what my question is about.
I'm trying to compile github.com/corbinlc/GNURootDebian from source and make it run on my android emulator. I get 'Configuration with name 'default' not found' in android studio 3.0 when just opening the project. Can anyone help me out tackle this error?
> I tried googling / stackoverflow and couldn't find a satisfying answer
> I have successfully built and run a simple app in emulator using steps outlined in 'Building Your First App' walkthrough on developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
Thanks in advance,
