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.

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.

Discussing things like this are against the rules i'm pretty sure. Sorry.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I don't think you are supposed to discuss these kinda things on xda ie cracking paid apps which apparently is illegal in some countries. Maybe you can search on google for this...
GT-I9000 powered by CM7 and glitch kernel
You should REALLY be more specific.
If you are trying to crack a paid app and distribute it, this is not the place for you.
If you have something else LEGAL in mind; be clear about what you want.
No, no, no...
The only thing i want to do is to change start picture for joke...
The app is free i just want do open an .apk on pc...
Sorry for misunderstanding...
My english is so-so...

I hope this is the right place to post this. But ive been reading alot about developing for the blaze. But ive tried many searches and cant seem to find a simple answer to what a kitchen is? And why some use them although ive read some say they are garbage.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
I don't know exactly, but ill try to explain what I know.
A kitchen is where someone "Cooks"
Roms. Meaning that, that is the place where people, most of the time that person being a dev, make the roms and fixes bugs. There is a kitchen called UOT kitchen where newbies go and mess around with the icons and themes of their rooted phone.
Note that I might, or most likely, be wrong.. sorry if I am

Development for Android is done mostly in Java. It is very simple programming language, after a few weeks of practice you should be good at it. Here you have a tutorial on how to create first Application: http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html

The New Boston
The new boston has a 200 video series on android application development. It's a little bit dated but if you go to http://thenewboston.org/index.php. It shows you specifically how to develop for android 2.2 (froyo). that being said most (if not all) of those applications should fun just fine on any OS 2.2 and above.
The main things is that you are using the API level from 2.2 so unless you change it later on you won't be able to use newer features. BUT... it can take someone from 'eeerrr I think this be mah keyburd' to 'Yeah, i just wrote and android app and put it on the market. BYAAAH!!!'.
Definitely worth checking out. I checked it out and when they came out they were cuttign edge pretty much (like a year ago lol).
Once again http://thenewboston.org/index.php

HA... I just realized that you said ROMS. well that is a completely different story... that is really trial and error until you figure out how everything works.
If you aren't running on ubuntu then download virtual box:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Once you have that the EASIEST way to get started is to download the ISO for ubuntu 10.04:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
Once you have created the Virtual machine with ubuntu 10.04(simply because it is the best for development):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC6jSiGSbUE
Then I recommend to get your environment setup you follow the instruction at the below site:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics
Now that I actually read what you were askign for and am not a complete tard... hope this helps.
I looked it up and it also gave me a link on how to set up Ubuntu. So my next question is, where do you get source codes? I myself have a vibrant so of course it doesn't get source code updates although I know that some ports are from the gnex

Is it fairly easy to pick up then? I program in a language called SAS and I have done bits of Java and VB in the past.

sounds like xda veterans should compile an Android rom "how to for dumb dumbs" e book and put it for sale in the play store and on Amazon self publishing. you'd probably make a fair amount for yourselves and the site, depending on how you went about it; problem is I think all forums on this site would then be totally flooded with repeats, duplicate functions mods, crap roms, and just generally bring the average level of code down to hella-sloppy levels. yikes, pick your poison
I understand that serving requires a lot of time butnim serious about this. Not o my that my friend has an lg lucid and I have other people who would like development for that pho e which I would help with hopefully

roms are also largely in java (or davlik, anyway)
You can start by compiling something like CM10 (not an easy task, I might add).
Most devs begin because there's something they are itching to have but that doesn't exist. Once you've successfully compiled, you can start tweaking these things in.
is there no how-to guide somewhere for your-first-compiling and what-files-do post for dummies somewhere?

I use my note for documentation at work, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. When I'm using s note (regardless of template) and have the handwriting to text feature on I keep running into the following problem:
After writing a few things down, pausing and going back to writing the program freezes up and erases all my notes =( I've exchanged the note once already for this same reason so I worry it's a program problem. Samsung doesn't seem to know anything about it.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Or can anyone offer a suggestion please? It is not rooted (yet) and happens before and after the most recent update. I'm in America and would gladly provide any other info needed.
Kinda feel like sammy let me down here :banghead:

No problems, that's what we're here for. You might also want to try 7Notes from the market, the recognition in my opinion is much better. It is a paid app but we'll worth it.

The trial version is Japanese only. If you want to try, test it for about ten minutes and refund if you don't like it. You probably will keep it, it's that good and cheap!
There used to be an English trial version but they removed it when it was released.
