hey guys...
I want learn about android development, i dont know java, c, c++.
From where should i start?

Hello Ankush!
Great idea, i hope you have much time and even more endurance.
The first main challenge is understanding the concepts of java and object oriented programming.
Depending on your preference i would suggest starting with online tutorials for java or a good java book.
As soon as possible you should look for an own project, just learning in theory is hard and no fun.
To get started with android look for googles online tutorials here:
http://developer.android.com/training/index.html ,
watch tutorial videos on youtube, install the sdk and build your first "hello world" app.
Good luck and have fun! :fingers-crossed:
application development introduce
Sounds very good

I know very little when it comes to programming. About the extent of my programming is getting a batch file to read from a list. So where do I start if I want to look into android programming? Should I pick up a beginning java book?
I have an idea for program, so I have a goal.
not sure if books are needed anymore really
soo many sites and forums just about general programming
and also spc about developing java for android
google should be much faster then using a real book
If you are getting started with android, one thing you will need for sure is the SDK, found here.
As far as learning it goes...google has a fairly good introduction on the platform, although I am not sure it is suited for someone new to programming. I can't really help you there, except point you to the google guide if you want to try anyway.

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
I'm not entirely sure where I should start. I want to make a camera application which adds an image of an object to a photo being taken. I enjoy flashing ROMs and what not but as far as developing goes I'm clueless. Where should I start? Are there any trustworthy websites that can teach me the basics?
First and foremost requirement is a basic knowledge of JAVA i guess without the knowledge of JAVA its really difficult to develop apps for android....
Next is Android SDK and an IDE... My personal recomendation is Eclipse(with ADT plugin).
There is a wonderful book for android development ..more info www(dot)dummies(dot)com
I guess that book is enough to give a kick start to android development
go to developers.android.com
It is by far the best resource or learning android.
Have you done any programming before? Learning to develop for Android is no different than learning a new programming language. In this case Java.
Start by creating a hello world app. developer(dot)android(dot)com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
The Internet is definitely your #1 source. The SDK has be used by other people quite thoroughly so even by searching something as specific as "putting an overlay image on a camera picture" will probably yield many result.
Have fun!
but be patient learning programming is really hard for me at least ...im struggling with my first language (python) for 8 months now and i dont have any results...
hi guys.. im new here and all.. but, where do i start with app development? up to what part of java should i learn?

Depending on how much knowledge you have of programming in general, you may be able to pick up Android development fairly quickly by simply googling for simple Android tutorials such as "how to create a button in Android", "how to play a sound in Android app", etc. If you do already have some programming experience, I would strongly suggest checking out a youtube channel by the name of 'TheNewBoston', which has a wide-range of video tutorials for Android & Java development alike.
If you have absolutely no programming experience, I would suggest at least playing around with Java for a month or two. Get yourself comfortable with variables, methods, and the different basic data-types. I believe that as long as you have a loose grasp on those aspects of Java development, then you shouldn't have *too* much trouble learning Java and Android synchronously.
Hope this helps a little bit.

thanks for the info..
actually, i have programming background in c++ and c#.. im just starting to learn java... should i "master" java first before i indulge to android?

Well, if you have a background in C++ and C# then you will be comfortable with Java, as theoretically its all same as all these comes under the OOP concept. So you don't need to 'master' Java by reading another 1000 pages Book. I guess C# and Java has many similarities when it comes to syntax and minor differences such as C# uses the keyword 'using' and Java uses 'import' to import or use those pre-defined classes that you can work on with.
I guess you can go directly into Android app development if you have any Tutorials with you, and I bet you will understand the code. But, if you insist yourself you can do some Java examples just in case to get an idea about the language though, as its always good.
One difference: In Java we use getters and setters to access variables of other objects. Not difficult though.
If you already have a decent grasp of C++ and C#, then Java should come quickly. You'll need to be fairly proficient with Java to build any non-trivial app, but you can definitely learn it while also learning how to use the Android SDK. The two are not mutually exclusive.
I would like to become a developer. Obviously, that means learning code, but which one? Also, I don't have a PC with Linux OS, so will that be any problem? What tutorials or ebooks or stuff like that do you recommend to start me learning?

Yes, that's right. To become a developer means learning to write code and apply those while creating a software.
Question on which one? is completely upto you because you need to know what are you aiming for. If you're looking for web application development, you may have to study any languages like PHP, DotNet, Java - J2EE/EJB etc.
If you're looking for Android application development, first step is to study Java, because its the main language used for programming apps. Then you can move over to Tutorials on Android development, and it will be easy. If its iOS app/ Mac specific app development, Objective C it is.
Not having PC with Linux OS won't be any problem, because you can do these in Windows platforms or in a Mac.
Tutorials = Google my friend. It has almost everything in the universe. Also in Youtube, you get the video tutorials.
Some which I could recommend is, for Java Oracle docs is good and "Java - The Complete reference" by Herbert Schildt is a good book too. For Android, you can find all resources in the App development forums.
You can try out the freepascal with a good IDE (codetyphoon), simple to make windows or linux graphical apps, or the visual studio express with c#.

Thanks a lot. That surely will get me started.
Also, if you wouldn't mind, I'd add that green glowing gif of your signature to mine.
