I posted this in Android general q&a figured ide post here too. I have an amazing idea for an app that could make alot of profit.. But i'm clueless, on how to code it.. Could someone tell me where to start or hook me up with someone that could do it?

Program your apps in Java. The most convenient IDE for beginners is typically Eclipse with the Android plugin. You'll want to read up on object oriented programming as well, since Java is an oop language. You'll do well to understand oop concepts because you can apply them to other languages, such as Objective C (the language that Apple uses; if you're looking to maximize profit, you're inevitably going to have to port to iPhone).

for more responses i would post in the general android development thread that is how i learned a bit more and then realized way to much work for me as i have not the silightest clue about coding devin' etc... but they were very helpful and very quick responders..

I have been really getting into Android and rooting. I want to be able to make custom roms... Questions:- What programming languages do you have to know?
How do I start off?
A good question asked. I am also very much interested in ROM-dev. Some dev. may shed some light
Yeah hopefully.... Waiting for some light
Anyone
Someone should answer and help the newbies like us in making custom roms
Newbie
Help us to become develpor any dev please
Anyone
Any dev help us please
You're gonna want to search google for the android sdk, and eclipse, and learn about java. There's also kitchens for rom cooking around, but don't ask me where or how to use them lol. Lurk around the Android forums here on xda, and read up on the stuff you're most interested in doing, be it coding apps, theming, cooking roms, all of the above. You're gonna have to invest a good amount of time to develop any skill at this stuff, it definitely won't happen overnight. Have fun and good luck!

coool.......10 char...
If anyone could help me with where i can get started in deving for epic i would appreciate it I have some background knowledge in going to school for IT major with JAVA programming some in web design html css xhtml dont know if any of this helps or not but I am very quick and an easy learner if anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
This is the wrong section for this type of question.
But, read this. Good reading material and it will point you in the right direction.
thanks and sorry
thank you for the link my bad about the wrong sections wasnt sure were it would go if it was a general this is the android development section so i just figured this would be the right place lol.
Post here only if you've developed something
Gotcha

Not trying to bump this... but oh well, lol
although the question should be in general, I vote that the link in the second post be stickied. there are a lot of people (myself included) who would like to start learning how to dev, and to be honest, I didn't even know there was a chef section on XDA (I'm fairly new here, don't kill me, lol).
so I think a perminant link to the list of dev-teaching tools in that post would be a great addition to any dev forum
just my thoughts

Google has pulled the pdk information as it was "misleading" Since that information seemed vital, some more one-on-one help would still be nice. I'm at the beginning of a week off and wanted to dabble as well. I don't have actual programming background, but I figure ways to make things work (hulu on GB ftw!)

I know about the PDK, but there's a lot of good stuff in that link that are relevant. I say spit on it, and slap it to the top of the forum with the other stickies
Moved to a more appropriate section
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but the development forums seem to be mainly for developing custom rom. If there is a better forum let me know. If you are a moderator and there is a better forum, please feel free to move this thread there.
Is there an application like Delphi ( actually I liked C++Builder myself, but they are mostly the same ) for Android?
I'm not talking about Pascal here, but an environment similar to Delphi.
XDA Development Android forums may be a better source .

I think the closet you will get to that @ the moment is AIDE - Android Java IDE

Yeah, I use AIDE and love it.
Are there any sites that offer a free course on basics of this OS?
Being on XDA i do wish I understood the stuff developers post so I don't ask stupid questions that they would rather I find out myself. The thing is that even if I do find out I just dont understand. So I think learning the basics would be great.
Any suggestions?

So I want to make an app. Basically it involves being able to retrieve live data from an internet server that is then used to create a live railroad dispatching panel. You can search up ATCS monitor on the internet and read about it. Now, my only programming experience is with MATLAB. My question is this. How difficult would it be for me to learn the language Android is coded in and develop an app like this?
Java is not that hard to learn. Learning all the little nuances of Android dev is the tricky part. I would suggest coding in Eclipse. There are many tutorials out there at your disposal. On YouTube, TheNewBoston and MyBringBack have some good videos on the matter.
With all that being said, I believe you have posted in the wrong forum

I figured that but at the same time I figured someone here would be able to provide a useful answer. Anyhow, thank you.
I thought I answered your question spot on. Maybe I misunderstood what you were asking.

Just my 2 cents
Just my 2 cents worth.
Being that I was in GTI6speed's boat a few months ago. I had slightly more experience in coding probably, having used C, C++, PHP, and JavaScript for some web stuff. I was/am by no means a seasoned coder. I had a basic understanding of the syntax for Java, but not the overall language or API's. I read the Google Android documentation, which I found a bit non-informative at parts but it was a fairly decent primer for someone with no knowledge of Java or the Android API's. I then ventured into taking a publicly available open source app that had a few bugs in places and fixed them myself. Ok took me 4 days to do what an experienced coder probably could do in minutes but I did it without too much trouble. I then moved on to making my own app from scratch. Nothing too overly major. Just trying a GreaseMonkey like implementation as a plug-in for Dolphin Browser. It's still in pre-alpha but it's 50% functional.
So in short to answer OP's question. Not difficult if you don't mind spending some time reading up. First thing I would do differently if I were to do it all over, is get a Java language primer book. Then move into the Android API documentation. From there it's smooth sailing. There may be some books dedicated to priming someone with no Java knowledge to jump straight into Android programming but I'm afraid I don't know the title of any such books myself.
I would have to say having looked at someone else's well written and commented code probably helped me to understand what was going on and how to implement things myself.
Hope this was useful. Sorry this was probably more than 2 cents, maybe a half dollar.

Oh no I'm sorry. I meant you did provide a useful answer. Haha I meant that I figured someone in the forum could guide me in the right direction which you did. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
