Not sure if i should post here or in development but here it goes:
I'd like to begin my android development trials by developing live wallpapers for stock N1's. I currently have a list of 10 live wallpapers that I've explained to a total of 100 N1 owners of which 94 have replied they'd be willing to pay $0.99-$2.00 if these wallpapers were available on android market. Target market research done, i'm ready to begin development and im just lost. Where do i begin? I'd love to learn how to do this on my own but im willing to develop 2 with someone with experience in this area and split profit 50/50 while teaching me.
(Note: Ive contacted a few android developers who have said my ideas are not possible because of battery drain or they would be too taxing on the cpu but im positive someone on here is intelligent and skilled enough to either make them work or edit my ideas into usable profitable apps)
Any takers or advice?

lol yea umm I did that long ago (WOW!! Why is everyone so sarcastic on XDA-DEV?)
Obviously I know how to basically use a modern computer and the "internet" which, oddly enough, includes google and wow for free!
What isn't so easy to learn or understand is the various programming languages and tools in use today (C++, Eclipse IDE, Linux commands, java etc.) -
I'm pretty familiar with Photoshop cs4, Adobe AE, Dreamweaver etc. and there are tons of tutorials scattered around the internet which you barley have to search for - My point is - following along with a cs4 tut. and then modifying it to fit your current project is no problem but not so much when trying to modify Java to create the very complex operations I'm interested in rendering and controlling in the working (almost living) processes that exist in something as complex as an N1, G1 or Moto Droid -
Soooo, without sarcasm or just some overwhelming self-righteous need to try to show someone how dumb their question is, can someone answer me this:
Is there anyone on this forum knowledgeable and kind enough to try and help budding developers navigate through a seemingly endless field of options and programming variables that could ultimately lead the inquisitor to building a foundation for programming for the android marketplace?
And no, I'm not just trying to make stupid little letters and numbers scroll from top to bottom on the home screen in a cool shade of green thinking I'll make $2million by years end - My ideas have been researched as far as my knowledge and the knowledge of those in my "nerd" circle can enlighten us (yea we used a little googling too, imagine that) and I'm looking for an experience programmer to point me in the direction of avoiding pot holes and reaching my goals in more streamlined manner and time frame
i'll help you with questions, i'm not a pro but i got opengl working on live wallpapers.
have you learnt java yet? that's probably where you should start.
well first go to http://developer.android.com/index.html read up learn some then follow some tutorials and in a couple of months you should know the basics of it.
i've picked up a couple of books on Java - Seems to be answering all the questions I was curious about - Thanx alot for pointing me in that direction - Now to try a few things out......

Hello there!
I'm a masters degree student from Norway. For my thesis I have developed four Android 4.0 apps. These apps are similar to discussion forums, and they have different design solutions. I'm trying to find out which design is the best for making good discussions!
In order to do this, I was hoping some of you would want to try out one of the apps! Basically, I am planning to have a "test period" for about one week, where people can use the app for discussion. After this I have a quick survey with some questions relating to the application, and the discussion itself.
If you would like to participate, please let me know by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or leave your mail adress here so I can get back to you.
Cheers,
Audun Sørheim
Hello,
Hope I'm posting this in the right place (sure I'll be told if I'm not).
I have an idea for an app and have written up a requirements document that includes wireframes. The app has the same functionality as an app like instagram and is based around the greeting card market.
I've wafted my idea in front of a couple of mobile app developers but the quotes I have received how been well out of my price range, so I am looking to see if there are any developers out there interested in working on the project with me.
I think it's a winner and would be happy to share the idea with anyone interested in working on it with me.
Let me know if you're interested?
Thanks
Ben
