Funny title huh Seriously though, I am tired of the hit and miss of live wallpapers, and other apps working or not working on my beloved Hero, that being said what I have desperately been trying to do is learn Java(a live wallpaper not sticking when all my others do is what started this, it's dumb I know) so I can start programming things to work for our phone(or at least try). I have spent 2 days looking for a good way to learn Java, I have been all over the net hunting for an interactive Java tutorial and have come up empty handed, I found a couple PDFs as well as some online tutorials but they don't explain everything(it seems like they all assume you already know some Java or programming), I am a total beginner and need it all explained, preferably with hands on. I am a fast learner when things are explained and taught properly, I think I could excel at this, so I figure this community is the best place to ask for advice on how and where to proceed, so come on guys help me out what is the best way for a total beginner to proceed, how did you all start, where did you go for help? Again, I am only asking here because I really have spent 2 days looking for a proper tutorial and come up empty handed...THANKS!!
Oh, I can skype if some saintly person feels like teaching.
edit:this is what started my obsession http://www.mediafire.com/?jiynwdnmc1z out of the 6 I have this is the only one that wont stick, so I figured why not try to re-build it my self after comparing it to the ones that do stick(it does run perfectly, just wont stick)
Well if you are a total newbie to programming my best advice is goto your local book store or half-price books(used book store) and find a book on java programing probly too first one would be java progamming for dummies and the second one a more adavaced book go though both of them do the lesson in there and learn by doing best way to do it and then check out the froyo thread for the irc room and if you get stuck ask someone in there oh on here your direct question if you do your homework and give a detialed description of what your working on more people are going to try and help you but this is just my two cents and the extend of my attempt at advice good luck and hope to see your name on an op soon
Wow, I gotta say, I do like that lwp a lot man. Thanks for posting the link to it Good luck on learning Java man. It's not too hard, but once you start scripting with it etc... that's a whole different story, lol
It's good to see someone wants to stop putting up with stuff not working and make it work Honestly, I'd just go to your local library, and check out a bunch of stuff on Java... that's what I did with Python
It's going to take a lot of reading and trial and error to learn java. But a little heads up, the live wallpapers that don't stick, is a driver issue, not a programming issue. I don't know enough about android, so unless there is a line you can add to the header to force software rendering, you can't do much about it.

Thanks for the responses guys! I really didn't think of grabbing a Dummies book, I figured there would be a good course online, but that's what I'm going to get first thing tomorrow. I figure once I get familiar with it all(maybe a week or two) I will compare the ones that work with the one that doesn't and go from there. I think the first app I would like to work on would be a request from the forum, you guys all help and give back, I think that would be a great way to put the knowledge to good use Well, thanks again, I'm still open to more suggestions, maybe a couple weeks from now I can at least give you guys a neat wallpaper!

**** my bad. Not sure I can do that here. Check your pm
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but the wallpaper you are working on is a pirated upload of a paid LWP in the market. The original author of the LWP would probably be happy to help paid customers get it working.
I'm all for you learning how to code up some cool stuff for the community, and I wish you the best, but stealing other people's stuff isn't the way to go.
hmm, was not intentionally "stealing" I paid for it, the developers response is " LWP's don't work on hero, sorry" so I thought I would try to make it work for me, I'm pretty sure if I could provide a way for hero users to use it they would all gladly pay the $1 as I did, as it stands I "pirated", yet another, unusable app, hey hero users come get your free, unusable, paid app

That's cool...your OP links to a mediafire download for a paid app, so I didn't realize you knew it was paid. It's lame that the guy won't fix it, but I guess those of us slumming it on the hero have to get used to doing things ourselves, eh? Good luck to you...it is a cool LWP.
That wallpaper sticks just fine on my hero. Running Aloysius 2.1 maps version.

Aint you helpful
Last I checked, this whole site is pirated. If you think about it. It's basically a whole guide on how to hack phones and get free apps. So why are you even putting it out there that the guy is pirating. LOL. Doesn't make any sence but I thought I'de throw that in there.

wow, I seriously apologize for all of this, all I wanted to do was give back to our community, I have been taking for a year plus & thought it was time to step it up a notch, I did not want to start fights, sorry, if any mods want me to take it down I will.(oh,I really paid for it, that's my mediafire account,after it didn't work I pulled it off my phone to try and work with it.) I'm getting my books now, if I get stuck I hope I can post my questions, thanks again guys!
Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
First off theycallmegq. This site does not promote pirating anything. Read the forum rules posted by binary. Who might just ban you if your not careful.
That being said. I would highly recommend the for dummies set of books for starters. Thats what im doing with linux and programming. Also there is a book specifically on the android platform and development at the book stores as well. Last i checked in the computer at barnes and noble i think it was they were coming out with a new one i think had to do with java and android. There was also a post in here a while back about learning development after you have an understanding of the basics at least. Might want to search for that after a couple of weeks. Good luck with your adventure. Im sure the creator of the lwp wouldnt mind you helping make it better.
I think the poster used an unfortunate choice of words. If this was a site concerning iphone OS development it definately would be considered hacking. Modifying Apple OS in anyway is a NO NO! It was hard for me "At first" to get past the "Openess" of Android. Thats why we sould be screaming anytime we see E-fuses in phones (Motorola) or No sideloading of Apps (AT&T). I for one am thankful to be able to have source code to work with and a group such as this one to help out. My little hero is thankful too ... Without you guys I would have an EVO by now...
As far as Java Programming, do a search on "Java Tutorial". Theres a lot at your finger tips.
Try:
www.javapassion.com
just recently changed to a subscription based site, but first few chapters of each class are free to try and learn, even have an android class strarting at the end of the month.
That LWP works fine for me too.
So I have seen a lot of people offering google plus invites here on the XDA site so you might ask, why create a new thread?? Well the answer is simple, All the ones i've seen thus far are for 1 invite at a tme and thats it. This is to invite a group of people all at once. I'm thinking this should cut down on some of the posts/requests here on XDA for g+ invites since im using one mass invite instead of doing each one by one. PLUS a great benifit of this is there is no need to give me your gmail address or post it on the site where anyone can see. Doing so could lead to a increase in spam down the road and we all don't need more spam.
Hmm, but how to keep the thread fresh for people to see. I'm thinking maybe a bump or a +1?? I'm not sure if there are people out there that still need or would like a google plus invite but just incase there are this thread is for you. besides I think this is a safer way then most out there anyway.
To get started all you need to do it click the url below and thats your invite. you will be taken to the google plus home page. ENJOY!! Don't forget to press thanks.
https://plus.google.com/i/P26ASixT98Q:gHXEUzbk7uA
Not to sound like im complaining....well, maybe I am a little but since my post yesterday 40+ people have used the link above to get they're g+ account with out a signle thanks or plus 1 to keep the thread alive, nothing. Lets be honest when someone says "A thanks is not nessacery" it really means hey, I did something nice for you now take a half a second to say thanks. I feel so used. lol.
Thank you very much! Been waiting for this to go public but it's nice to get in the door a little early.
Nice. Thanks a lot.

Thank you to everyone that showed a bit gratitude for the invite. I really do appreciate it. I must say that yesterday I was running on very little sleep so I may of came off as sounding rather crappy, sorry for that.
Well I started with 150 invites to hand out and a little over a 100 have been used up since yesterday. once they're gone I wont be able to offer anymore so anyone that still wants one should act quickly.
Huge thanks
there are only a handful or so left to spread around. about 20 or so from the the 150.
Thanks a bunch
Thanks
Thank you very much!http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Hey cool it worked, THANKS!
Thanks a lot
about 5 invites left to pass around
Thank ya!!!
sorry, but as of the moment there aren't any invites left to hand out. I used up my 150invites in only two days.
I have some invites left If any one want PM me
Hey guys! It's been a long while, for some reason my post count is greatly reduced, but oh well, all you old timers probably remember me, lol.
Anyway, so here's the deal, I'm launching my record label, Syko Records, and I've been trying to think of creative ways to dominate the industry, being a no-name-up-and-comer I have to be innovative. Of course, I thought of all my genius pals here at XDA, and hope that maybe someone would be interested in volunteering their time for the cause.
I don't have any monetary compensation, but I'm sure we can work out something that benefits you for your time!
If anyone is interested in being a part of the next big movement in music, please let me know and lets get started!
Peace!
Ken
Oh come on, I know someone wants a chance to work with an indie record label! I hoped there would have been a better response!
Anyone!?

....testes one two three...testes one two three.....is THIS THING ON? lol j/k...
So seriously REALLY? There are no giving souls out there?
I'm no app developer yet but what exactly are you looking for? Ive been wanting to learn it for a while but haven't really found anything to create that hasn't already been done a million times. I'd love to help if you have enough time for me to learn as I go. Hit me up on gtalk: [email protected] if you're interested.

Don't expect any help from people in this community if you just post things like this. Read around, use the search function, try to do things yourself... THEN ask questions.

Is it that hard to point a newb in the right direction? The nice thing would be a link, then tell that person hey bud i will help this time but try the search, etc. remember everyone is new at one point or another, but what makes a great community is people banding together and helping,.etc.. k rant over

It isn't that hard, but:
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
In short - users should learn to do research and not ask for handholding. Users who need handholding are NOT ready to run CM7 in the current state that CM7 is in.
The link is out there. I will give one hint though:
The link is available on a medium OTHER than the web. You will need to leave the warm cozy safety of your browser to find it, and download program that supports a particular relay chat protocol, and go to the node which is free to talk about your #infuse4g.
Yes, the above is a bit of a riddle. It is intentionally so.
***WE NEED THE FIRST HERO, PLEASE SOMEONE PM ME!***
I've got an idea, when I get the pm with first invite, he will have to post a reply saying "I'm the HERO" and I'll say "Yes he is" by pointing his reply, and until he get 100 "Thanks" I'll not spare the first invite.
_____________________________________________________________________
INFO:
The point of this thread is to "make" a lot of invites (over a chain) to everyone who is interested, from only one invite.
Someone should spare the first (lets name him W..) on private with the first interested (lets name him X.. Or me! ) in the thread , then X "thanks" W and give 2 of his invites with the next two interested (Y and Z), then Y and Z give (between the two) 4 invites to the next interested.. And so on and on.
This way we avoid spamming by trusting people with the same interest.
PLEASE, NO EMAIL POSTING, JUST SAY "INTERESTED". THEN WE SHARE MAILS OVER PM.
What do you think guys? Someone interested? We need the first hero.
Sorry about my English!!
Lets do it!
Come on! We need the first hero!
First one, please PM me to start the chain!
Thanks!
