I'm looking to get into Android development, and thought it would be great if there were any projects out there that were looking for help. I'm familiar with some of the Android API's (such as location services) and know the basics of Android programming. Still, I wanted to join a project to understand what the development process is like. I'm still in college and work a part-time job, so I don't know if I could devote a full 40, or even 20 hours a week. Nonetheless I would like to try to help develop if I can.
Are there any groups that are looking for help on a project, or any sites that cater to this type of request?

Android-x86 is a project to get android up and running on x86 architecture. It is currently ran by just two people, and 1.6 is more or less completely functional on Eeepc and Dell Mini's.
However, progress has slowed, and the developers are beginning to lose interest due to the current community following. A large amount of the followers of the project demand things, and give little back, often getting angry if they are not instantly provided what they want. This is a scourge of most opensource or hack projects, but especially so here, as the project has had little interest from other devs, leaving them on their own.
Whilst I do not have the ability to give a whole lot of help myself (yet), I desperately think this project should succeed, and am asking any able developers with free time who are up for seeing Android up on a new platform to give it a go.
The google discussion group is here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-x86
The homepage is here: http://www.android-x86.org/
Thanks for reading, and thanks for any support you are able to give these guys.
Hello Everyone,
I you all are doing great, I am looking for a few individuals to talk to. The few people need to have 1 or 2 of the following skills.
Expert Android Developer
Expert iOS Developer
PHP Developer
Java Developer
APIs and Custom Frameworks
If you have skills in any of those I would love to talk to you! I would not consider this a Job posting as of yet. I am right now trying to find some people to see if my concept is possible, but I don't want to share it with just anyone and everyone, need to protect my ideas. When I figure out if this can be done I will probably post again (if the people that reply cant assist with the project). Ultimately we will probably be looking at a team of 10 people to get this project done if it is do able. So please anyone and everyone reply to this post if you are interested in the idea, as long as you have 1 if not 2 of those skills listed above!
Thank You

Hi Everybody.
I saw some videos with storyboard in iOS development. I take interest into this project. I'm going to design and try to implement a such similar thing as long term just for fun project. Not sure yet, but I hope it will be alive and I will still want to do it. I understand this project is not small so I am looking for co-developers to work on it together. I am experienced Android developer and have experience developing desktop apps. Honestly I am familiar with OSX development, but I think I have very poor experience with it. I am looking forward and develop prototype native application for OSX and later, may be, for Windows.
Just as note, I want it to be as big live parser and designer, so it will use real source code of android project and does not require any additional libraries or frameworks to be integrated into Android project.
If you are not familiar with storyboard in iOS, please just look at screenshot and you will understand why android designer sucks.
Thank you and let me know if you are interested in this.
p.s. I hope I've chosen right thread to post a such topic.
Hi All,
I am a complete ‘noob’ regarding app/program development of any kind.
I want to create a B2C app for android devices, but am well aware that the most efficient route would be to outsource the vast majority of my development, if not ALL of the development, to a veteran developer. With this in mind… How much, and what do you recommend I learn, considering I’ll be outsourcing the vast majority of the development?
PS. I'm not entirely sure the interface that'll be used...
Best!,

This is a pretty vague question, but the place to start would be learning Java and becoming comfortable with the android SDK or there's even Android Studio out now. I have no idea what your experience is so you might start by picking up a book on android development, taking some college courses, or if you have zero programming experience, you could always try something like http://www.codecademy.com/.

I'm looking for developers willing and able to help with a project.
I'll start by saying, this is a Atheist oriented project focused on atheist related issues. You don't need to be atheist to help, but at least opened minded to others beliefs, or lack there of.
I'm heading this project for the time being. Its my idea, but its beyond my depth. I don't have the skill set to pull this off on my own. I'll take a step back and allow someone who's capable of heading this, once I find one. I can help in other areas, mostly design.
I have two other developers on board already. Capable of developing Android and WP apps. I have done some Android developing on my own, but I'm a amateur at coding.
We'll be building a website, paired with some mobile apps. Focused on help and information forums, local community forums, Atheist related news articles, Articles on atheism, etc without getting into it to deeply on what we're trying to do. Its open for discussion.
If interested on helping, IM me. We could talk further on what we're trying to achieve, and I can direct you to the facebook group.
