Hello people
I've wanted to make a Android app for a while now but I don't know where to start.
Can someone give me some pointers on where to start.
If it involves coding then be warmed I'm a complete novice at that.
No coding method: search Google for Android app inventor.
Coding and better method: Android apps use JAVA. Take some basic online courses, then learn the Android sdk. (functions that are specific to android)
Option b is better, and if you have a little patience it won't be too hard.

If you want to get somewhere forget the app inventor and invest some time.
Start by using google on terms like "android tutorial" "android hello world".
Download eclipse and the android sdk (google has all the info and tutorial on how to do that).
The sdk has ALOT of very good example apps. From 3D drawing to system infos and interface layouts.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Google app inventor is doing my head in.
if anyone is reading this on a scale from 1 to 10 how hard/complicated is making a app using coding?
Depends entirely on what you want the app to do unfortunately. If you can give some basic ideas of what you want it to do it will be easier to say how hard it will be.
well all id like my first app to do is when it starts up to show a picture with text then link you to a web page.
Nothing hard
Thats not too difficult, you could patch work something out of existing tutorials/example.
But its always relative saying how difficult something is.
It depends on the person...
Well sorry that's not helping much. I'm still at a loss on what to do.
Basically all you need to do is copy and paste the code from some tutorial examples, or you could even use the app inventor as you need barely any code to do this, for example:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/index.html
http://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/webview.html
Putting it all together and making it into an application shouldn't take you more than half an hour once you have gone through the starter tutorials to understand how and what it is you are using.
Ok I'll try that.

are you serious??
Well if you are really determined to learn it, you can manage doing it on your own too, with the help of free online resources. Search for a tutorial series on youtube. Here's one I had found useful when I was learning:

You should also buy a good book on Java programming and read it. That would help a lot too.
read android developers guide
You can check android developers official site it has lot of tutorials and resources.
You can go to next university library and borrow any Android book. It will not include the latest version of OS, but it will have lot of fundamental information in one place, written by one person. Tutorails often show you how to solve single problem only.
Thank you
Also great video
You're Welcome! Yes it is a great video. That guy really does explain it nicely.
Is App Inventor still working?
Look also at cornboyz tutorial on youtube. Same guy, slightly different tuts
Hello everyone.
Lately I've been trying to develop an Android application.
I did some tutorials and my Java skills are good enough.
so here's my question does some of you guys have a idea for an android app
I can't really thing of anything and i really wan't to make something useful.
I hope one of you all can help me
Thanks for your time.
Hi,
I'm finishing a course in Android Development, and I need to make an application as a finalizing exercise.
I'm having trouble getting a good idea, my idea's are too complicated, so i need help.
The app should be made in a 7-10 days, that how complicated it should be.
It should use one of special features of a smartphone: GPS, Sensors, etc'
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

A simple game or something that has already been done, but you could improve. Battery stats if it has to be functional for e.g.

A game would be too difficult as I have no experience in game programming.
Maybe something for daily use...
maybe something in which people can easily search for things they are interested in, combining information from the web in one easy to use app?
My idea for an app
Hello.
This is my idea for an app. I believe it`s possible to make it.
Imagine that situation: You are on your leave, and your boss or co-workes are calling you for something. Of course you can shut down phone, but i I came up with the idea of f an app which will play message " The number you are trying to reach is currently unavilable" for definied numbers.
Create a app for news,which offcourse will use internet,there all must be regularly updated,quite tough to maintain,but just make it and drop...

Hi All, im new to this forum, and i came here to ask for some help. I want to create a utility App for android, but i am looking for a partner to help me since i am not much of a coder. Im more into business, and not coding, but i have a really innovative idea for a utility app of which there is nothing like it on the market. Is there any freelance android app developer here who is willing to be my say "business partner" in helping me create the app?
Edit: Sorry my schedule isn't really free st the moment
Your Advice on Android App Development
Hello!
So I was hoping to get the advice on a few things regarding android app development from those of you are app developers. I am just now learning Java, learning Android Studios/IntelliJIDEA and I have no teacher (I use Lynda.com, TeamTreeHouse, and other resources) so I'd like to get the opinions and thoughts of others who have already created an app, do so all the time, or are working on their first app. In general, I am looking to get some answers from those who already know what to do and have done it before. I want to be sure I am doing things the right way. Or at the very least I want to be doing things the best possible way I can. So my questions:
What IDE do you use? (Android Studios/IntelliJ IDEA, Unity, etc)
Did you learn Java before building your First App?
Did you learn XML before Building your first App?
Where did you learn about the languages and technologies required? (Lynda.com, TeamTreeHouse.com, NewBoston, etc)
Are there any resources you can recommend to me as a beginner who has not yet built his first app?
If there is a question you can think of that I did not ask that might help please let me know.
Thank you for answering these questions!
I really want to make sure that I approach this the right way and that if I am going to commit myself to it I do so in a way that works, is tried, tested, and true. I want to make quality applications and I want to know what I'm doing while doing it. = )
Anyway, answering any of these questions would be truly helpful and I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!
Regards,
DevelopDan
