Hello, this is my very first post on xda, but i've been visiting the forum for quite a while now. Therefore i would like your opinion, on a project that i'll be undertaking soon, preferably with your help
So straight to the point, i want to make an application for the following platforms: Windows, Web-based and android. What programming language you guys think it's more suitable for this kind of project? Should i do everything in Java?
thanks in advance.

hey guys, new to the world of android and programing but would love to learn to write my own apps and become a developer. i was looking at these 2 sites. dose anyone here know if they are legit or is there somewhere else a newbie with no programing experience can learn to program for android. below are the links.
the website is edumobile.org and basic4ppc.com
thanks
I got started long ago with books and source code examples. They are a great way to learn how to program. I would suggest a book about java then a book for android development.
C+++, java, sdk
it's all the education

If you have no programming experience, you definitely should get it first. Solid understanding of Java and OOP is a must for an Android developer.
All platform specific information along with an app examples could be found on developer.android.com and most of the FAQs are answered on stackoverflow.
The subject says most of it really. I'm looking for a book that will teach me to develop for the Android market. A book for beginners. The kind of book with lessons, tasks, examples etc..
I'm a complete novice when it comes to Android Development, I've no understanding of the Java programming language at all and only minimal xml knowledge. However I am very good with computers and learn quick, I've got the time the patience and the motivation + (a Samsung Nexus S & a HTC Desire S).
I know it takes time and practise but its something I really want to learn and have plenty of time on my hands at the moment.
I've done webdesign so understand html, css, online shopping carts etc.. not that that's going to help me a lot.
Maybe I'll need a couple of books one for Java and another for Android please provide your thoughts on this.
Any suggestions maybe with links (if allowed) would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

This is one of the least visited forums on this site but the more resourceful in my opinion...visit and read, ask and inquire.

Hi there
I wanted to ask what would be the best way to learn Android development from my background. I have been developing in HTML5 + CSS3 + JavaScript for a few years now, so where would be the best place to start? A wiki, book, tutorial?
I have been looking at some books but I'm not sure that would be the best way. Any help would be appreciated.
I'd start with some basic Java tutorials. Oracle's website has some good ones. Once you'r comfortable with Java, the transition to Android will be a lot easier, as it isn't the most user-friendly API in my opinion.
you can learn from abc, such as abc.. come on ,believe yourself
For Android tutorials themselves, edumobile has some nice ones (just google "edumobile android". They are a bit higher-level, but great once you have the basics down. And of course you can post specific questions here or on Stack Overflow when things don't make sense or you can't find exactly what you're after.
An obvious place to start is with the Android developer tutorials themselves - they have a Hello World example to get you started and familiar with the basis of app development. After that, read a lot, try coding, learn from your mistakes and hone your skills.
Alternatively, if you don't want to learn Java and make Android applications using the standard sdk tools, you could try something like Appcelerator Titanium platform, which allows you to create Android and iOS applications (cross platform) using Javascript, which you know already. It is only a subset of the entire API, but it is the most common stuff (so it might not work if you want to do some complex hardware interaction with NFC or something), and for standard apps should be fine.

Thanks, I'll be sure try Oracle's tutorials. My aunt actually works with Java in her work, so I'll ask her for help maybe. But like any programming language I'll try the Hello World first
Hello people
XDA is full of skilled developers. I want to know their opinion on how hard it is to learn developing an android applications its own. I do understand the programming language, in past I was trying to learn C ++, PHP so I am kind of familier with programming languages. I would be grateful if you anyone could answer following questions.
What all languages are required to know to start developing Android apps
Where could I start from
Please suggest me resources/tutorial (video, ebook, online tutorial) that can help me learn android development.
I would be very thankful.
Regards
Suzi
Java is the best language
Download the AIDE app from play store
This belongs in the Q&A section since your not actually posting an app
Would someone be able to suggest some Languages that I could learn, so I can attempt to write some Apps or just play around with the code? I do have programming experience. I was a software developer on IBM Mainframes for 30 years and would like to try my hand with the Android OS. Thank you in advance.
Hello Klings, start practicing Java, that's the main language that Android apps are built with. A could place to get familiar with Android classes / reference classes is: developer.android.com
Good Luck!
Kotlin
To the previous answer about Java I can add that Kotlin's gradually become an official language for Android development. Some guesses suggests that this is likely to raise the language’s profile and that it could possibly become the next Swift
