You don't start by building a mercedes, try building a wheel, then a card etc.
There is no simple HOWTO: Xda App...
Use google and start with basic android tutorials...

Thank Dark3n!
Yes, I'm doing the most basic thing in Android, but now I get stuck at Network-Web service issue. Just want to ask you guys who has much experience in Android can give me some URLs or documents or some examples to learn.

Sorry but JFGI

Hey frank,
check out an app called "Zillow." I need something like that. Please let me know if it could be done.
That app can certainly be done, the question is where does the data come from? Zillow has a well defined web services interface that lets the app get access to all the stored real estate data.
Are you a real estate agent with some kind of access to a data base? Do you need the webservices and database done as well?

[Q] How to make an Android app?

Hello people
I've wanted to make a Android app for a while now but I don't know where to start.
Can someone give me some pointers on where to start.
If it involves coding then be warmed I'm a complete novice at that.
No coding method: search Google for Android app inventor.
Coding and better method: Android apps use JAVA. Take some basic online courses, then learn the Android sdk. (functions that are specific to android)
Option b is better, and if you have a little patience it won't be too hard.

If you want to get somewhere forget the app inventor and invest some time.
Start by using google on terms like "android tutorial" "android hello world".
Download eclipse and the android sdk (google has all the info and tutorial on how to do that).
The sdk has ALOT of very good example apps. From 3D drawing to system infos and interface layouts.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Google app inventor is doing my head in.
if anyone is reading this on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard/complicated is making a app using coding?
Depends entirely on what you want the app to do unfortunately. If you can give some basic ideas of what you want it to do it will be easier to say how hard it will be.
well all id like my first app to do is when it starts up to show a picture with text then link you to a web page.
Nothing hard
Thats not too difficult, you could patch work something out of existing tutorials/example.
But its always relative saying how difficult something is.
It depends on the person...
Well sorry that's not helping much. I'm still at a loss on what to do.
Basically all you need to do is copy and paste the code from some tutorial examples, or you could even use the app inventor as you need barely any code to do this, for example:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/index.html
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html
Putting it all together and making it into an application shouldn't take you more than half an hour once you have gone through the starter tutorials to understand how and what it is you are using.
Ok I'll try that.

i really wanna learn, so i went to purchase course and

are you serious??
Well if you are really determined to learn it, you can manage doing it on your own too, with the help of free online resources. Search for a tutorial series on youtube. Here's one I had found useful when I was learning:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl-zzrqQoSE
You should also buy a good book on Java programming and read it. That would help a lot too.
read android developers guide
You can check android developers official site it has lot of tutorials and resources.
You can go to next university library and borrow any Android book. It will not include the latest version of OS, but it will have lot of fundamental information in one place, written by one person. Tutorails often show you how to solve single problem only.
Thank you
Also great video
You're Welcome! Yes it is a great video. That guy really does explain it nicely.
Is App Inventor still working?
Look also at cornboyz tutorial on youtube. Same guy, slightly different tuts

BrainDrain: Android app developed by 14 year old.

Hey guys, With a the help of few on-line classes, I have been able to develop an android app called BrainDrain. It is puzzle based.
I have released the app on the Google market place, yet there are certain things I could change to make the app better.
For instance, I haven't figured out how to stop the background music when the app is sent into the background. Also I don't want to have to go through the process of making thousands of Xml's to support screens with bigger sizes, is there any short cut or some kind of easier way?
If you could please test the app, and reply back with suggestions regarding these problems, and also suggest solutions for any other problems you come across? Thank you! .
"BrainDrain" is the app's name, please search for it on Google play, I'm a new user so I don't have the permission to post links!
Sounds interesting will test and let you know my thoughts

[Q] Making android app for Ajax chat - any documentation?

Hello everyone,
I'm looking to make android app for this Ajax chat we have on a certain forum. The chat is MGC Chatbox Evo. Basically, I want to connect an app to the chat, like you do when you fire up a browser.
Now, my programming experience is very out of date, so I'm looking for some documentation (noob friendly if possible) on this. I've searched google all over the place, I found a couple of tips, but those aren't very understandable for someone at my level.
Here are the questions I'd like to cover:
1) In which language do I write this?
2) Using what compiler?
3) Where can I find documentation related to making something like this?
I'm a bit savvy, so if I find a way to do this in one programming language, I'll probably find a way to do it in another, but I can't. I've never made an android app before, but I'm very eager to learn, so all and any help is appreciated. Of course, if someone has time and desire, I'll gladly work with you on this and learn that way. Forum has 600,000 registered users, and you would be free to take all the credits for it.
Thank you for your time
Have a great day!
Bump? :s
Oooh

Newbie looking for doc

Hi guys,
I'm really interested in android development. I know the basic of Java programming and now I'm looking for good tutorials and documentation to learn more about android.
The internet in a really big place and often I feel like wasting my time with bad tutorials... Can somebody give me some good tutorials/doc links or even books name ?
Thanks
I'm using the bookLearn Android App Development by Wallace Jackson, it's about making an advanced Hello World! app that teaches various things you can use in your own apps.
There are many books from that author, like "Android Apps For Absolute Beginners" or a book specifically for android games. I'm sure you can find a pdf on the internet.
