Hey all, I wanted to start Android app development as a hobby. I am very comfortable with C++, but I know that Java is necessary for Android. What parts of it will be important, and could you please recommend a good tutorial? Thanks.

I have been trying to get into making live wallpapers myself. I have been asking everywhere about what I need to learn to make a live wallpaper. I have no idea where to start or what to learn. I have posted several threads and ask devs in the market to & no one wants to tell you anything about where to start or what to use. I really don't understand why no one wants to help, especially here on a Developers website. Hopefully we can get a Senior member to give us some good tips.

Hello XDA, [I Posted this in Android Development...no response]
I have just finished my first year of high school, and have spent 2 years around Windows Mobile and Android.
I want to start developing in different parts of Android, Applications being the top priority.
I have found and got many guides such as Sam's Teach Yourself for helping me build applications.
I know I can't start off building advanced apps. But the place I need help is where should I start, and what things I should learn such as Java, Adobe Air being a few.
If you guys can please maybe make a list I should follow or something...This would be greatly appreciated,
PLEASE GIVE ME AS MUCH ADVICE AS YOU CAN THANK YOU
Thanks A lot

I would start with Linux, since that is the basis for all android apps.
Thanks a lot for your reply....I will look into that

Hey everyone!!! There are many newbies like me out there who want to learn how to port/develop themes/apps/roms etc to our device . So i was wondering if any of you experienced guys could take out your precious time and give a short tutorial(or at least provide a link).A google search doesn't help much!! I'm tired of just using stuff and watching other people develop it!!!
here are some links

You have to be more specific on what you want to do. For rom porting, you will need to have coding skills. For everytjing else, the search box here in xda would suffice.

Lets start with themes!!!
Like said before, searching is one of the best way to learn
You could found threads like this one for themes, [GUIDE] Want to learn how to theme?

see this video. Its an app for iphone. But I think by doing changes in framework file we can achieve such animation in menu (just guessing). If apple os is capable of this then definitely our android must have more capabilities...!!
Hi to all who read this. Thank you in advance for any and all feedback. I'm going to start college soon and I'm going to take Mobile Development....Bachelors in Science. So here are my questions......In your own opinions is this a good choice?.......I'm curious to know what field I need to go into so I can develop roms, kernels. Bootloaders, etc.....that's what I'm really wanting to learn. From what I've read it seems this is the right choice....but I want real personal experience and knowledge to help me here. If I'm wrong could u plz give me some info on what I really need to study....thank u again.

I am interested in becoming a ROM Developer for Infuse 4G. I have little(very little) coding experience, But tend to learn fast and grasp concepts easily. Since I'm completely new to all this, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a "How to get started" type of guide with all the necessary development tools I will need. If you could help out I'd be grateful, and I hope to soon contribute to the XDA community. Thank you.
I too am interested as far as i know you need to know java, be familiar with linux and i think C++...but id like to know for sure what is needed
My brother is learning java in college and offered his java book to help me learn-as soon as i get that im gonna begin teaching my self java with a few tips here and there from him but mostly teach myself because thats the way i learn best

Im up for it too...
i di some porting fot the Captivate and im sure i can take on the Infuse
I'm so pumped to start work on a custom ROM, I love my Infuse 4G would be so much sweeter to learn even more about it too, And to actually see what these guys go through to bring us the latest ROMs and stuff.
You guys really want to learn? You have no idea .... but I will help if I have time...

Ohhh...i can only imagine how hard it is to learn, and then to actually put out a rom after that. Trust me i dont plan on building one anytime soon, this is gonna be more of a slow on going learning process for me...im only 17 so i got time
But your how to thread should help a little bit at least with getting an idea of what the system files look like and the time it takes to edit them.
Dman do you think you can just let me know what i will need to know to make a rom that way i can tackle one thing at a time at my own pace
I know for sure i need to know java, but im only assuming i need to know the following: linux, adb, c++ is that all or am i missing anything?
Other than listing what i need to know, you dont need to help me because i doubt id have the time to keep up with your teachings

If you don't know how-to, don't do it.
Why other people should make videos for you, so thousand of lazy people create kanged roms?
Its easy, as soon as you look into the stuff or use search you'll find the solution.
But with your lazyness... No chance.
Thank you for the reply I found a couple videos on youtube i will put them in the post for anyone else who wants to learn how to download developing get the source code and developing a custom ROM ( I will go to extra mile because some people are lazy )
Instead of everyone being lazy like you said I believe we should all be able to help other people and that's exactly what these people did instead of saying don't waste your time you can't do it people found a way to do it and are helping others learn
Also if you have nothing worthwhile to say please don't reply

Depends how you define "worthwhile". Rule 1 is to search is it not. Now if you're serious, happy reading - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073370
