Why don't you go to the official android developers page?
Xda app

Not everyone knows how to find the pages they need. Perhaps provide a link? I assume he hasn't come across that yet since he's asking.

Programming is always hard. I suggest starting with a simple app that has 3 screens and a couple of buttons for interaction and maybe some images.
Xda app

Do you have any suggestions for staring apps for this

First of all, do you know how to write in Java? Because none of the tutorials I have found include that part. You will find it very hard if you don't! Pick up a book on Java, and read all the way through it first. I found books better than online for some reason. It doesn't matter if the book is a few years old, many of the concepts will be the same.
Then find some beginning tutorials for developing Android apps. I've found a few, and I will update this if I find any more, but here are some:
http://hackaday.com/2010/07/12/android-development-101-–-a-tutorial-series/
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
http://androidwizard.net/ -- Make sure you have a look at the beginner ones first, because there are many tutorials here.
Then if you require more detail, move on to the info at developer.android.com/ as it is more advanced (well its aimed at users who already know a bit).

I would also learn just some basics on how a program flows. It is essential since most programmers know several languages or are able to know how to read code without knowing the syntax. After you get the basics down, look through all the examples given with the SDK and see if you understand it. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I read "Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours". It was pretty cheap and they also have a java one. It was a nice start, pretty good explanation of code and space out each part so not overwhelmed.

Should I read the java one first? And where would I get this book? Im just wanting to learn this.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

I only read the android one. I would say read the android one and if you are lost after the second or third chapter, read it again (they are short) and if still not understanding then get the java one. It all depends on you're background and current knowledge...also remember Google is you're friend for words/statements that you don't recognize. Hope that helps, and.you can get book at barnes and noble or borders. It seems to be a common book.

Anything you don't understand you can just ask questions about and and we all can try to explain it in better terms for you.

(Tutorial) How to use the search feature on XDA

I have been seeing a recent trend lately so I thought this may help.
How to Search XDA Forms
If you are a noob, or if you just have a general question and you are feeling a little too lazy to read through other forms then this is what you do before you start a new thread about your problem.
(99% of the time your problem has already been talked about)
XDA App Search Feature
For the XDA app go to the °more° tab and click on the little eye glass and simply type in your question or some key words of the problem you are having.
XDA-Developers Website
This may be a little more difficult but stick with me. There is a bar that says search, type in your question or key words of your question and see if you can find what you are looking for. Now for the advance users look around for a topic that you have a question about in the respected form area (I.E. development or Q&A) and search key word of your problem and search that form for your answer
Recommended method you can read the form in its entirety!
Hope this helps and it’s not meant to be rude it’s a noticeable problem.

Probably will be ignored by those who need this most but thank you for saying it.

Hey you never know!

Thats how most forums are, so either get used to it or dont come lol. I don't think I've ever seen a tech forum that wasn't inundated with the same question over and over.

That's not necessarily true. I came from the Evo 4g and the forums over there tended to be pretty clean with that stuff. The mods were all over the forums and older users helped the new users on how to search. I don't know what the Evo forums were like when the evo first launched but at least now there isn't much of the same BS that is running rampant over here.

Knowledge is power bro! These forms will be what we make them if we let people post non-since then we will always have that problem. I am also not dumb enough to think multiple questions will not ever happen.

i take the most issue with the app. it doesn't allow the searching of a forum or a thread... it searches ALL of xda for your terms... which is useless... you might make a few searches work, but over all what you need to a search of the forum you're viewing... i mean i could really care less about the rooting issues on a WP7 device when i'm trying to search for SGS3 info...
but over all the search on the website is stellar

While I agree worth your point, its frustrating not being able to use 'search this thread'in the app, you do know you can limit it to categories at least right? For example you could specify to search just the Verizon SG3 forums instead of all of xda.

OK yea I have to agree with that the app could use a couple more features. Its pretty solid though.

Isn't the app a version of tapatalk? Go to the more button, do the search and there should be 'advanced options' where you select the forums...

I'm not seeing that on the free version. Once I do a search, all I can do is scroll down those search results. I can't click "More" as its occupied by the search.

Then they'll have to update their app. You can do that with the full tapatalk app.

perhaps i'll just start using the tapatalk app... i don't browse any other forums on my phone so it never made sense, but if it will improve search functions then i'll switch

If you do go to purchase it choose your color first. What I mean its if you want one of the ICS compatible colors those are separate apps. It's the same functionality you just have to buy the theme separate. But you don't need the original tapatalk to make the themes work. Make sense?

It's would be nice if the search feature was built into the application better. Is it possible to search a specific forum rather than the entire xda?

[APP] 5 Fantastic apps for your android

As I am a new user and can not put external link, you can see these applications in detail looking at facebook search for "Aplicações Mobile - Android".

I guess you didn't feel it was worthwhile explaining what these apps are? Or what they do? Or even why we should bother to go and look for them?

"Yes, I want 5 fantastic apps for my device. I will look for these apps until my fingers bleed and install them while ignoring all warnings. I just have a 500 dollar device in my hands!"
I don't think a lot of xda-users will think like that.

Shut up or post something that is REALLY about these 'fantastic' apps you mentioned. And no, I don't see the point in creating a Facebook account to find out something about it/them.

i had a quick look for you and its as expected, youll have to go on their individual websites and follow their instructions...

sharing apk's are something frowned upon by google and recent updates are doing their best to protect developers and their hard work.

If you are not even able to compile a simple code together then i'm pretty sure you are up to no good with this app.

Why don't you be productive and link him to a thread that helps teach how to compile. Educate people than criticize and make insulting assumptions.

I know nothing of how to program java or compile. I only know Matlab.
Maybe this might help I'm not sure at all.
