How to make your own apps.

I want to make my own apps,
What SDK do I download and install for 1.5 software.
Please if someone could link me to it and show me what to do I'd love it. Thanks..
Also, Do i need to have a certain kind of phone to upload apps?

Required: Android SDK 1.5_r1
Required*: Eclipse IDE for Java
Optional: Ubuntu
Eclipse is not technically required, but if you don't use an IDE you will have to set up your own toolchain. Ubuntu is optional, but it is the Android team's operating system of choice. There are also some tasks easier performed in Ubuntu than Windows (creating a ext2/3 partition for example).
No special phone is required for developing apps. Even an unmodified G1 is perfectly fine.

If you don't know Java, you should learn that first as Android's userapps are written in Java syntax. There are many sites online to learn Java, just google "learn java". Assuming you do know Java, the guide pages on the Android Developer site are a good start:

My md5 on that file is 1672845fff4c6afc22bc3dac5cd1737c. If you get the same checksum, perhaps try reinstalling JRE/JDK?
Edit: Btw I suggest you place the sdk directory in the root of your hdd. E.g.:
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r1\platforms\android-1.5\android.jar

Android 4.1 and Encrypted APKs?

Hi All,
Forgive me if this has been asked - searching XDA results in hundreds of spurious hit since the search tool does not appear to honor quotes in a search term (i.e., "encrypted apk"). My apologies for the choice of forums. I was not allowed to ask in the Android forums. Sorry about the perverted reference below. I'm not allowed to add references, either.
Android 4.1 allows encryption of an APK (see "App Encryption" at H T T P developer-dot-android-dot-com-slash-about-slash-versions-slash-jelly-bean-dot-html). What tools are folks using to decrypt the APK and get it ready for something like APKTOOL or Dex2Jar?

Ping...
Is there anyway to get this moved to an Android developers forum? Thats where it belongs.

I would also be interested in this.

wtf with this?

You can view or decrypt the XML files of an Android APKfile with apktool.
Just copy the APK file also in that directory and run the following command in your command prompt:
Code:
apktool d HelloWorld.apk ./HelloWorld,
This will create and directory "HelloWorld"in your current directory. Inside it you can find the AndroidManifest.xmlfile in decrypted form and you can also find other XMLfiles inside the "HelloWorld/res/layout" directory.
Here HelloWorld.apk is yourAndroidAPKfile.
See the below screen shot for more information:

apktool development was abandoned some time ago. The last release built and offered for download is from December 2011 (https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list). I seriously doubt it can do anything with an Encrypted APK (a featured added in August 2012 with Jelly Bean).
apktools or smali/baksmali is broken with respect to debug information. apktools and smali debugging: https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=339. smali/baksmali debug issue (I should have filed it as a bug report): https://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=139. I know there is another apktool by ibotpeaches, but its broken too: https://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=139.

Agreed. That link is a decent place to start reading up on them. It's an interesting idea, I'm curious to see how encrypted APK distribution pans out....

This is interesting

Hey there.
It's been a while since this thread was created, but I will still appriciate any response.
Why would I have to log-in? And where can I register?
I would also like to know how I can install Ruby on my device. Or how to make sure I have a rucy installed.
thanks for helpers

Hi, this is just an app that let's you browse and edit the RubyGems repository website, that's why you have to login. If you're interested in running Ruby in your device, I suggest you to take a look at this StackOverflow question, which contains the answer to your questions.

First of all, thanks a lot for directing me there, I couldn't find it myself.
Someone suggested there to root device and use apt-get. I already have my device rooted, but I don't know where I can use Linux commands such as apt-get on my android device (Galaxy S4 GT-I9515).
Another person suggested using Ruboto IRB, but I have no idea what that is nor how can I get it. I would like an explanation here as well (if you could of course )
Another question, when I use cSploit it tells me that there's a ruby updrade avaible and asks me if I want to install it. I infer that I already have Ruby if it asks me to UPDATE it (the app works fine btw), but I'm not sure.

To execute the Linux commands you need to install a terminal emulator via the Play Store, where you can also download Ruboto.

Ok cool. So you're telling me that installing a terminal emulator will actually prompt linux commands to my device? Like, it's not just a simulation?
Also, I would be happy if you could explain me what Ruboto does or how it works.
BTW Thanks again for replying, I really appriciate your will to help

Fake Operator
Fake Operator is a Cydia Substrate tweak for Android and iOS. To my knowledge it works on all Android 4.0+ devices (except Sense based ROMs). The point of this tweak is to easily change your operator name without having to touch XML files.
This is an open source tweak and you can view the code on github the public version is available on the Play Store please install Cydia Substrate first. The release on the Play Store currently on supports GSM devices a beta version is attached to the post that supports GSM and CDMA devices. If you have any suggestions please let me know, once the CDMA beta is complete i intend on tidying up the code base and working on 'automatic' updates when settings are changed.
The source can be found on the NSPwn Github, XDA currently won't allow me to link so sorry this post is a wall of text.

Well, in my experience (at least on the CDMA side), the operator banner is normally stored somewhere in the NV folder as the only way (that I know of) to change it is by using a CDMA programming tool (such as dft or Revskill...).
HTC is funny like that
The only other thing that I can think of is that it is somewhere in the Sense framework as I do believe that this can be changed with ViperTweaks in some devices.

since you can't post a link to your github, I will help you.

Access your Android's built-in Linux command line shell. Unleash your inner geek!
This is a remake of the popular "Terminal Emulator for Android" application by Jack Palevich.
Same great program, just with a material design
Top Features
+ Full Linux terminal emulation.
+ Multiple windows.
+ UTF-8 text. (Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, etc.)
+ Customizable interface-palette.
+ No ads, no payed functions, just a donate option
Quick FAQ:
+ This app isn't a game emulator.
+ This app won't help you root your phone or change your phone's IMEI.
+ You need to know (or be willing to learn) how to use the Linux command line to use this app.
+ You may want to install a set of command line utilities like "Busy Box", "Debian chroot" or "GNU CoreUtils" in order to add commands beyond the commands that come built into your Android device.
+ If you get a -505 error when trying to install this app under Android 5.0, it means that some other app is using the same permissions. You will have to uninstall the other app in order to install Terminal Emulator for Android. (People tell that "jrummy's Toolbox Pro" causes this problem.)
