I am looking into creating some games for our phones. Right now i have visual studio 2008 and i can make some simple apps. I have no clue on 3d apps for wm though. I select "smart device" and i can't seem to put them together. I would like to know if you need game engines, and model maker,world creators. What would you guys recamend as i want to get this up and going asap. Thanks a lot for the help.

I have been programming with Java for about 6 years now. I am currently getting my masters in college for Computer Science (Programming).
I just finished reading the book Hello, Android by Ed Burnette. It was a pretty good book I must say and got me on my feet towards developing for an Android device. For those who do not know the book, each chapter you gradually build a Sudoku game. In the later chapters it discusses some openGL, sound, video. Overall the game is pointless and a waiste.
I never really liked game programming, I wish to do something such as tools, or a feature. However I have hit a roadblock and do not know where to go from here or what to read. I get the structure of the app, the XML setups, etc but the book did not give me a good enough background on the Android System for what I would like to do.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help in advanced.
Travmanx I think the way to go from here is use your Java experience to assist in unlocking these phones. I know these guys that are doing the hard work would appreciate all the help they can get.

I'm very new to android programming too and I agree there does seem to be a big gap in going from the usual tutorials and guides to really getting your feet wet and digging into proper coding.
I think the key here is to think of a simple idea and start to program it, by choosing something simple you can get the basics working quickly, while still giving you room to experiment further with extra features and improvements later on (where the real learning happens).
As to what idea... that is more difficult, I would suggest you do something which you will use so that you've got a drive to keep working on it and improve it.
i.e. If you travel, then a quick currency converter could be useful...if you play tennis then perhaps a score board...it doesn't matter much as long as the incentive is there to code it.
Look forward to hear what you decide to write!

first of all +10 for ^ meltwater
i did an app to (scoreboard) for a card game, instead of using paper and pen.
then:
i am a Java Developer to,
and recently started doing some android apps
i already have 2 of them in the market...
i am just like you, don't like to do games, i prefer tools and other staff...
however, my point is, whenever you can build an app whatever it is,... all you need now is an idea
try to find an idea and start developing it, and on every problem you face try to dig and fix it, then continue on ur main target... otherwise i don't see any advantage of reading more books, because you have to find something to do, then try to find how to do it (based on your input with 6 years java dev)
otherwise i think you will get lost.
my opinion, find an idea and start with it, then fix every block you face.
Good Luck
Hello people,
I was wondering if there is any program that can create and view the mobile augmented reality.
The objective is to do a tattoo with the image of a symbol that would reproduce with the help of an application on my phone, a 3D animated image.
But I do not know how to program in mobile platforms, need some help to create a method that can easy change my animation tattoo..
Maybe later if work, we make one aplication to put in the market and create a new style of tattoo
Can anyone help with this?
Regards

Do you have enough money to invest to this project? (you may count the good freelance dev rate is about $60/h, rough estimate is about 3 month = 60*40*4*3)
P.S. Leme answer on my question: of course, you don't. Just like a naive (and stupid) posts on craigslist: "Write a iPhone killer app for me for free, and I'll share my profit with you - up to %40!")
i know that, that´s why i was asking if there is anyone who already trie to do something like this.
I already use this tools, but for a website not for a mobile phone.
we already have this website, telling how to do augmented reality, but not for phone..

You may try ScanSearch http://www.scansearch.com/wp7/ (lookup xda for "lg applications" ). As for me, it's not much useful (truly - completely useless ;-) ). Tried a couple of times in real world situation - for example, I was looking for public restroom in the Boston downtown area - no results at all. I thought, the whole concept of "augmented reality" except very specialized apps such as museum guide etc. is a BS.
I think you are looking for this:

I wasn't sure where anything like this would go, so I made sure to put it in a forum as general as possible.
I'm a beginning web designer, but seeing as I spend most of my free time on this site, I'm growing more of an interest in learning to code for the mobile platform. If anybody is willing to help, all I'm asking for is a few tips from developers here on where to begin.
I learned some very basic java in college, but was wondering if there is a better path to go on. Do I start with BASIC? Do I continue and go towards more advanced Java and stick with only one programming language?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
-Considering I've done almost everything that I can with my rooted EVO, all of you were the people I'd rather hear from. I appreciate all of the hard work that you all have done!
You can develop full market apps using the language I use called basic4android.
Its easy to use but very powerful, produces a native android apk (so no interpreters) and has regular updates.
There are free user contributed libraries that make it even better and it has been used to produce everything from live wallpapers and anti theft apps to games and gps software so is a good option to consider.
I wrote my first app after messing about with it for about an hour and was amazed how easy it makes things. Google basic4android and you will find its homepage for more info. I can't remember the address as it's saved as a bookmark on my pc not phone.
EDIT: did a google search and its at http://www.basic4ppc.com/

Hello every1.
I decided to start making android games, as I already have made some apps in java, but the problem is I have barely used Unity so I encounter a bunch of problems.
So far, I have a working guitar hero game with a spectrum visualizer background, so far it looks like this:
http://postimg.org/image/6uayd6az7/
Unfortunately, I am stuck and I need help.
The visualizer isn't synced with the music for some reason and I can't seem to fix it. Also I would like to be able save the highscore somehow.
For now, I just compiled this for windows to be easier to test this.
No viruses whatsoever:

Here it is, please test it out and need feedback. Of course it's far from done, also, a few notes are a bit off,but for a test,it's okay.

If any1 would like to help me, I would be very happy!

Hi everyone i am new to android and i want to learn how to make android apps and games, is their a official link to a tutorial or pdf for the android studio that i could use to learn and master android studio, or if there is a respected community developer who has made a set of videos to teach and explain android studio to novices i would much appreciate a link to that youtube channel.
some background on me.
I have no programming experience at all.
i dont know any of them programming terms
my best skill would be inspecting a webpage and removing any line of code that gets in my way such as an addvert or popup etc but thats as far as it goes.
i should start with this .
I had tried becoming a game creator some years back but i was a complete novice i couldn't even find how to download and install the studio program so i gave up but the ideas for games with either an amazing storyline or funny storyline would always come to me but i would always shrug it off.
now with covid-19 ruining everything im jobless and i also have a lot of free time. i believe it would be very advantageous to learn something amazing during this time, i could wish i came here this time last year but regardless im here now
i decided to post this in xda forums as anytime in the past when i had a problem on my phone and id ask google for a solution i'd always get a link to some article or an xda-forum page which would explain and help how to fix said problem while i was their i could see that this website was really interested in android apps games etc
thank you in advance
