Did some artwork for an iPad game (pfft!) that got cancelled, since the employer didn't pay for the assets I'm happy to contribute them to anyone working on a game so long as I get credit for the artwork and a copy of the game
Just PM me or reply in thread if you're interested.
i'm just learning the development so it would make it easier for me. i'm interested.
That (sharing) is a lovely idea! I am interested in the artwork too.

Cool, Let me know what format you'd like it in and we'll take it from there.
Also, can someone give me a brief overview of the coding process for Android? is it done in Java or, what's the best way? to do a professional app? Thinking of looking at trying my hand at some coding.
Yes defroster, it is done in Java as Language, using Android library (package in Java).
1. Install Sun JDK (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
2. Download and install Android SDK starter package (only extract it), http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
3. Install Eclipse (only extract it), http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" or "Eclipse Classic" are good.
4. Install ADT for Eclipse (follow http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html)
5. From Eclipse or from the directory where you have extracted the Android SDK starter package, run "Android SDK and AVD Manager", it connect to Android site and show you all SDK and Google API, choose what you want to use.
6. read online Android's docs (http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html) and develop your app.
Cool thanks, i'll check it out, but in the meantime if anyone wants these (or other artwork) just let me know (i'll always be primarily a designer, not a coder
so, where do i download this artwork ? max format...
PM me your email.

Is it suitable to HD mini???
Million thanks,

Just downloaded the SDK 1.0 from
http://code.google.com/android
But now i learnt it also Require IDE Integrated Development Environment to Develop Application for Android Phones.
I think there are 2 IDE available
Eclipse 3.4 or JDK 6
Which is the Best IDE so i can started Developing Application for Google Android OS ?
I would recommend to go for Eclipse. Much better user support and bigger community. So once you've got questions the probability to find answers with Eclipse is higher, imo.
JDK 6 is not IDE, its java development kit, and it needed to create android apps.
I'd recomend use intellij idea, cuz eclipse is quite unstable and too complex.
Eclipse is the only IDE that supports Android development at the moment.
new development ide for android
I am currently working on a new IDE – 'Meme IDE' for ANDROID, WM and Apple IOS.
Here is the link to the hello world video I made.
http://vimeo.com/20599586
It is planned to launch in april as its not quite finished yet but it works! and the plan is to make the design and deployment of cross platform apps more efficient while protecting functional depth in each.
Have a look and let me know what you think.

Lol!!! Depends on what OS you are running!(Windows) Eclipse is perfectly stable and u dont install it, it runs standalone! I am a IT major in College and have gone to programming competitions where they prefer you to use Eclipse over Netbeans, JGrasp, etc for java based languages. And you need all of it. the JDK, Eclipse, and Android SDK. JDK == java development kit, eclipse is your program to create code in and the android SDK is where essentially where all the different types of methods are like in the JDK but specifically designed for the Android Operating System. You should use Eclipse bc it has intellisence and since you dont know what an IDE is, not to be mean or anything, you should do more research before jumping into it because you will get overwhelmed quickly.
I'll give a try to meme!!
Great response. Very clear and concise and put it all in perspective for me! Thanks so much for this advice.
Cheers, Mike
Delete please... I forgot to quote post I was referring to...see next post! cheers, Mike
Nice concise helpful response - thanks

Basically what i want to do is what M2DC does.
i want the program to list all the .zip files that are in a certain theme folder and then when you apply the theme, it unzips the file and copies whatever is in that file and copy it to the windows folder.
Please help me.
i know NOTHING about programming.
you dont even need to show me, even if you give me a link that give me the necessary information to help me do so.
btw, i have Visual Studio 2008.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsmobile/default.aspx
that is microsofts windows mobile developer center you may find some stuff there, but if you have no programing experience you may just want to get the developer of m2dc to help you out getting started
best of luck
forgot to mention i already looked there.
good tutorials. just none of which help me in this situation.

i have the full version
the only reason he would have asked is that you have to have the full version for windows mobile development....
okay well i do.
but im not a programmer so i need some help.
i started trying to jump in just recently, mostly i've just been skinning before so i am in the same boat
this is the c++ library reference, it may provide some help.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cscc687y.aspx
the code should be the same on a pc performing the same operation
so such code exmpls should be fine too
i tried to do some searching but it appears that there is not very many beginners tutorials for windows mobile so I will just put a couple of suggestions out there.
If you have never written code before I would recommend starting with C#
I personally use C++ but that is because I started writing C++ while still in high school before C# even existed. From what I can tell C# would be a much less painful experience that learning c++.
If you are not all that interested in learning the ins and outs of programming I would take a took at mortscript because that basically gives you just about everything that you would need and I just checked the documentation they have everything you need, the ability to unzip files and make a simple gui
Whenever looking about learning a new programming language you will do best to look for a "Hello World" example, whenever I learna new language / platform (like i am currently doing with android) I always look for a hello world example so that I can get something simple up and running
I end up getting a lot of information from http://www.codeproject.com/ and http://www.pocketpcdn.com/ sometimes the information is outdated, but it is usually pretty good.
The latest and greatest programming website is stackoverflow.com You can ask a question and Usually you will get an answer to your question in a day or so.
If you are ever interested in looking at some C++ things you can look at the full M2DC source code by downloading the zip file from the google code page (latest source code). In the zip file there is a sln file somewhere, that is the entire solution for the program. You should be able to open that file with you copy of visual studio and build a fully working copy of M2DC
good luck
How to teach programming in one post...
Well I don't know where to start, Developing C# apps for PPC is similar to developing desktop apps. The best way to learn is to see what others have done and copy across the code you need (Lookup Popfly Development ).
I'd try and find the code for this in a Normal WinForms app to do this and then port it across to the PPC App.
I'd do it in C#. The un-zipping maybe complicated, I'm not sure what ZIP code is in the .Net Compact Framework.
Let me know if you need any help, I might even knock some code together for ya.

actually thats the first thing i tried(using m2dc as a template)
but i was super confused.
i tried taking out unessicary things like softkeys, background, internet, etc. but it didnt want to build. and plus, i probably did it all wrong.
if i cant get a good mortscript to do it, ill look into those websites you recommended me.
im in high school right now and im trying to find classing that will teach me some basic programming.
my school is filled with idiots though.
but im moving to a different city, so maybe they can teach me better than i would here.
thanks again.
i have little programming experience, and i want to create an app for my own personal use, and maybe to share. and if it is a big hit, put it on the market.
i'll ask for help step by step, i'll probably be getting help from my cousin who is a cs major.
how do i have an app listen to the phone, i was reading the dev guide and is it a broadcast receiver base class?
i'd like for the app to do it's job when the phone is set to vibrate.
if you wnat to program for android .. so here are some tips you can start to program an app for android..
1, Java experience or atleast basic know how, (about classes , objects and other OOP concepts )
2, little xml exposure is required ( basics as because any android app is assosiated with xml manifest also )
3, download the SDK , from andrioid site
4, use IDE eclispe ( required android sdk plugin also to map the SDK and emulator of android )
search it on google......also there is a book named ANDBOOK which will tell you a jumpstart ....!
hope it helps a bit
i downloaded the java ee eclipse, is that the correct one?
yes .. eclipse-jee-galileo- ...... its nick name of code name is galileo...
So yeah... this hasn't been easy.
I'm not gonna spend time getting into my coding history... but I wanna expand to Android. Usually I'm able to just get myself to a point in which I can start writing code, and then from thereon I can learn whatever I need to learn... but that's based on languages where I have a compiler, or can even do most of my coding from notepad+/PFE... I won't say I'm used to things being simple, but getting into a new coding language as at least been generally direct enough so that I can dive nose first into some good 'ol T&E.
I keep hearing Eclipse being mentioned, but honestly the furthest I get before I'm confused is the Android SDK Manager (and it's megaton of downloads).
I just want to get to the point where I can start messing with values, strings, functions and see how much different it'll be from what I'm used to when I try to make key inputs trigger functions.
While I am not able to code myself, (I made the Hello World and that was it) I do have experience with the Android SDK due to some debugging I have needed to do.
Eclipse keeps being mentioned because it's the officially preferred IDE for Android, as it counts with an official plugin.
The sequence is the following.
1) Install the SDK.
2) Install the necessary modules. You should know what you're going to program in advance so that you Install the relevant ones.
3) Install Eclipse.
4) Install the ADT plugin for Eclipse (instructions can be found in the site, but it's basically adding a repository and installing its contents).
5) Code!

What he said. This is the only way to get started. And buy a book, Amazon has some great ones that will get you started on what you need to do from start to finish. The coding is almost the easy part, but theres a lot more involved in making it "work" with Android. Eclipse/Android SDK is the only way to do that. Just launch the SDK and let it do its thing for a couple hours and you're good!
Am super new here and I want to learn how to make apps,I installed intellij and eclipse and java but some how I don't have the sdk,and I also want to learn how to flash phones like,unlock them...why you ask,I LOVE LEARNING but I never had the privilege to finish.

you can download the SDK from developer dot android dot com. Can use eclipse or Android studio as editor for your development.
There are sample projects in android studio or eclipse to start with. you can get lots of startup materials on the same site.
