Dev help

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.

[Q] i want to make a rom?

ok guys imma try and make a rom for g2x with sense3.0, so i need alittle help, where do i start? and its there a thread i can read on that will help me alittle?

Wtf are u talking about?

sounds like he wants to try and learn how to develop rom's, with no experience in development. but he's wanting to build a rom for the g2x that incorporates sense3.0? that's what i interpreted.
So someone needs to go to the book store,library, or Google and start reading on Linux, java (more app based from what i read), and other books on code that's used in mobile development
correct me if I'm wrong anywhere in this response.

That's exactly what I am talking about... How many times have you written something like that after someone responds to your posts? I get that you want to do a sense rom for the g2x... It also seems like you want to use others work(and give them credit, of course). Hop on to amazon or head to your local bookstore, there are whole sections about android development...

Expert developers are EXTREMELY challenged to port over platforms from other brands. To think that your going to do it with no experience is never gonna happen. Start easy, download CM source code, try to modify things, and maybe in a few months you can put something out for us. If making a rom was that easy, we would all do it.

Were do I start!!!!

get a book and read.
start with learning JAVA (this is if you have no programming experience)
once your familiar with JAVA and feel comfortable reading JAVA code and writting in JAVA.
then go get a book on ANDROID Development. I found a great book to learn about android development called " Hello Android", by the first 15 pages i had already made a somewhat complete Sudoku app, not out of interest but as this was the lesson in the book i was on.
No one can help you until you want to help your self, not trying to be a dbag but sounds like your wanting someone to walk you through step by step and through previous experience trying to verbally or explain to someone through text on to do something as complex as coding with them having little or no knowledge on the fundamentals and basics is/will be very difficult and frustrating for you and the person trying to guide you.
ps... might not hurt if you learn how to read/write/understand linux as android is based ontop of linux from my understanding

I have become fluent in the gibberish kids use today.
Where or were? Imma or I am or I'm?
It really makes you question the quality of the public education system. I am not a grammar nazi, but some days I just have to shake my head.

[Q] ROM Development.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

You need to know adb, notepad++, smali and baksmali, apktool, apkmananger... There are more just to early to think of them...

That's just one of them.. just saying... That's the little bit that I know of.

I'm still having the little issue of getting all the necessary programs needed to start development. Anyone have any idea's of what all it is I need?

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
