Coming from webOS to Android -- Point me in the right direction - General Questions and Answers

A few questions:
1. How do I transfer an app into the emulator?
2. Is there any way to run .js / .html / .css project on Android devices?
3. Where can I find a good tutorial / thread / sticky about beginning Android development?
P.S. webOS news today sucks.

Sure html files can be opened with the stock browser, if the .js and .css files are part of the html page i think the browser will deal with them.

You can edit the Microsoft ROM images they provide for use in their emulators but there is no way to take a device specific file an emulate it unfortunately.

[Q] What SDK should I get?

I saw a You Tube vid by AdamOutler and he said to get Eclipse classic or something. But when I go to Google Developers they give me the latest version of Eclipse do I use classic or the one provided by Google?

You can use anything.
The one which is provided by Google is a complete package, where you don't have to setup the build environment like setting up ADT plugin etc. The IDE would be ready for application development I guess.
When you download Eclipse Classic (Latest version is 4.2.2 I guess) from their website (eclipse.org), you need to download the ADT plugin additionally within the IDE and download the developer tools and then have to connect it with Android SDK. The complete steps to install are there in the developer website, so its pretty much easy the either way.

I don't really understand the vocabulary you used. (Sorry, I'm new to Android development) Is there a place where I can learn all these terms and what they do? I understand SDK though.

You just start by reading from here, and you are good to go:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
If you already have downloaded SDK, go to this website and download the Eclipse 4.2.2 Classic IDE. And go to Youtube and search videos for "How to connect eclipse with android sdk". There should be a couple.
If you don't have anything, download the SDK+ADT Bundle for Windows displayed in Android developer website (The link which I gave you first) and read the instructions and you'll be good.
It's really not matter. I think the only different is the latest version in Google Dev that you can find is well packaged and you don't need to set up most of the environment stuff.

Yes, that's right.
It comes with Eclipse + Android SDK + ADT Plugin (Developer Tools) + Latest Android Platform (4.2.2 maybe) + System Image for Emulator
So you don't have to download the Android Platform and build tools additionally after getting the SDK, as everything would come in a single package.

[Q] ADB or TOOLs for Linux based PC

hi,
does anyone know if there is adb type program or adb toolset that wil work on a ubuntu based distro PC, I killed my wimdows machine, completely destroyed boot loader info, no recovery will work, but i did manage to install zorin ubuntu ,. so i have this and a chromebook.,
I have a new oneplus one that i have to go to work on soon, and I have a nexus 7 and a nexus 10, the wugfresh tool may run in wine, but i guess they still need the sdk installed.
anyone has any experience of linux and adb or similar linux program i would really appreciate any advise you can offer ,
y
thanks

You can find some on Android Development and Hacking forum. I use QtADB mostly though, because has versions for linux and Windows and it's a File Manager with support of adb. Take a look here:
http://qtadb.wordpress.com/
you can
search on google and get better result
What and get a bunch of YouTube video reviews! Read the answer above, that's what a helpful forum member does. That's the point of a dedicated topic forum, did you stop to think that i may have been googling and researching for weeks and get a bit nonplussed with all the conflicting opinions and techniques, that a dedicated Dev forum would be the place to seek advice?
Really if go google it is the best you can do, why even bother replying, your not talking to a schoolkid but a fellow member of the forum.

Thanks very much I read up on Qtadb and it sounds like just the thing, I run xubuntu on chrome and a windows Laptop and so a dual platform for generic devices would suit me just fine

Online-app testing environment for 'rooted' apps?

This forum follows restrict rules to prevent spam. Its also hard to find out where to start.
Anyway I'll post the questions here:
- Does anyone provide Online-app testing environment for 'rooted' apps? I checked AWS or
other mobile testing platform, looks like they don't supported apps with root permission. any thoughts?

Looks like there is another alternative. Does rooted emulator on android will be fine for this purpose? Has anyone tried it?

[CLOSED] mtkClient bypass utility assitence please!

I'm currently using MTKclient and Python 3.10.5 on an old Android 8.1.0 tablet to flash similar tablets. Recently I have come across tablets which have brom mode disabled and was wondering if this bypass utility or a similar one can be used with the MTKclient I am currently using? I use mtkClient with Jackpal terminal emulator and Termux fyi.
I was given this photo below to show that it is infact possible yet I can't seem to figure it out.
