I would like to start helping with development. I'm getting pretty good with messing around with android. I work for T-Mobile and I've had android since the G1.
I'd like to start contributing to the family.
So my question is pretty open. Where should I start for learning about android development? Any advice and help would be appreciated.

Perhaps I should ask in a general forum. Maybe this isn't the correct place to ask.

What would I need to do if I was to trade this sgs4g for a LG g2x? Trading with a friend not at the store.would we just swap sim cards or what? Reason I'm asking is cause u said u work 4 T-Mobile. Just want to know what I would need to do to put it on my plan and give him mine. Any help is appreciated.

You can swap Sims. That's all you need to do. However the warranty will be under him still. If you have insurance, it will cover the G2x. But you wont have the warranty.

Hello.
First, you must install Eclipse with the ADT plugins, in the latest version, it will install the android SDK for you. So, you will have all you need in order to start.
Next, you will have to code in Java.
You can look at tutorialforandroid.com, there is a tuto for what you want (sorry, I cannot post direct link because I'm a "newbie" here).
Good luck
not a problem thanks ever so much
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
You're welcome
You may be particulary interested by this tuto:
http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/02/webview-with-zoomcontrols-in-android.html
(yes, I can post link now )
Otherwise look in google for "android webview".
If you want, I can build it for you, just give me the URL and your icon, it's a 5 minutes job
Wow sure thanks dude! My URL is: www.silverbeanandroid.co.uk
And what format should my icon be? Thanks alot
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
This is my icon. If you could take away the white background that would be great (I'm a bit of a noob) but if not its ok. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Here it is.
Sources and APK.
The code was inspired by these tutos:
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-webview.html
http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/02/webview-with-zoomcontrols-in-android.html

About Eclipse, install Helios
http://www.eclipse.org/helios/
and next, the ADT plugin
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
Once it have installed the latest SDK, create a new Android Project and choose to create project from existing source, and provide the path where you unzip the provided sources.
It's not so hard at it seems, don't worry.
OK thanks how do I create an android project? And if I was to use your source is there a way of putting a navigation bar at the bottom so you can navigate between 3 of my sites? Thanks and sorry for my noobieness

You can create a new android project in Eclipse like this:
File -> New -> Other ( Or simply press Ctrl + N ), then open the Android map and click Android Project.

Man, I really want to learn how to port roms, AND compile from source, but I don't even know where to start! By the time I finished learning it, this phone would be so old I'd be the only one left on it! lol. But seriously, if a 13 year old can learn how to port and code, I should be able to. I learn blazingly fast. Where do I start learning this stuff? I would love to make a rom from scratch!

How big is your HD? Its easy to dual boot to ubuntu. I think all you would need is about 35 gigs of space. Once builds are done you can move them to windows partition.

There is a installer for ubuntu that will do it from windows. Just google unbuntu.
It will install the newest version and after some updating you will be set. Google is your friend on understanding stuff. Most questions have been asked and answered. It might take a while to find the answer but keep looking. Im currently using ubuntu as my daily because my graphics card was updated in windows and after 8 hours I have to reboot or deal with a blue screen of throw my computer across the room because I was in the middle of something.
Once you learn some tricks ubuntu is as easy to use as windows for the novice person. In time you will not want to go back to windows unless you need it for a game that isnt supported on wine in ubuntu.

Windows isn't even an option. It is not a POSIX-compliant system. Even using Cygwin or MSYS, Android cannot and will never be able to be compiled on Windows.
Also, Ubuntu is Linux.
I dual boot windows and ubuntu. Learned a lot about Linux. On ubuntu you have more control over your system and what you want to do with it on Linux. windows kind of does stuff for you which is a pain sometimes.(imo) I'm still using windows now only because of my job, oh and some games a play. everything else is Linux!

First, I have to figure out how to get this nasty virus off my computer, that I just got today. It's a damn nasty one. I can't find anything that helps, and it keeps redirecting my searches... AVG says services.exe is a trojan... but it's whitelisted as a major component of the OS, so I can't delete it... it's corrupted. and I don't have a backup of it to restore... Every little bit I can get from searches I get to work, makes it seem hopeless, or beyond my technical capabilities to fix.
Hi All,
Is there any way to develop ROMs using software like VISUAL STUDIO/
Thanks!
I'm asking because I am not so good in Coding
Did you try the currently available tools? I feel that open source tools for development in Linux or cygwin are usually only text based.

I am still waiting for someone to help me out ....
you can google for "UOT Kitchen". I haven't tried, but I heard you can make your own ROM online using the tool.
if you want to build from scratch, you need to know a lot about programming. and I don't think there is an integrated visual tools for that.

I will be setting up a build environment too soon. There are a few guides around in the internet on how to compile.
It is recommended you have Ubuntu, but not the latest version because of back compability issue compiling. Also you need 50-100 gb of free space and a decent processor to handle all the work.
