I am trying to learn to develop apps. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 and have installed what I thought was required to get started with Eclipse (3.8) following the link below. I have AVD running but haven't had a chance to do much with it.
Following http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/creating-project.html
When I try to run, I have no android options, To emulate or to run on device. What direction do I need to go from here?
If you need information about my system and installation, please be specific on what and where to find the information. I will try my best to be accurate. I'm extremely green in this world.
I'm in company training atm so it may be a few minutes before I can provide my full attention.
Why is there no Q/A for the developer subforum?
Thank You
Kyle
I still haven''t been able to make any headway with this. I'm hoping someone knows what I need to do.

Hello all,
I am quite new so please pardon my ignorance.
I am new to Android and trying to develop some applications with some success.
What I want to know is, if I want to extend/change a system application, for example, Phone.apk file) how can I do so without downloading the whole ROM source from GIT repositories. Also I will like to know is there a way to debug the same without building the whole source every time?
All the questions I searched were related to Java or general Android application development. I could not find anything related to extending/changing system applications. Maybe I didn't searched well enough. If yes, please point me to the right thread.
Any help will be hugely appreciated.
Regards,
Yogesh.
So I have an old account on here, but I never used it for what it is intended to be. And quite honestly, I didn't like the account name. But what I'm really asking for here is help. I want to be a developer, but I dont know where to start. I want to learn how to make and/or port roms, how to theme other roms, and even make my own apps. If anybody would care to help a noob out, I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you in advance for your time, and any help that I recieve.
I would suggest learning java language which the source code is wrote in if you want to be a developer. But if you want the easy root look for the guides on cooking roms using kitchens then you can create roms with little programming knowledge.

Thanks for the tip on java language. And I know about the kitchens and such, its just that I don't have a mac or a linux based computer, and from what i read, you have to have one of those for a kitchen to work.
ubuntu is always free for download from their website (you can run it from a flash drive or dual boot it alongside windows)
ubuntu will install within the windows file system also and let you dual boot. might be a bit of a learning curve but its by far the best os to use when just getting started and even for more advanced usage..
once you are done with ubuntu as long as you installed it using the wubi installer you can remove it from add remove program etc...
First step on the journy to becoming a developer would be the most important one:
Learning to use search functions.
Your question has already been covered multiple times in this subforum.

I need kernel's tools works on win7
Idont have time to learn use ubunto so plz i need this tools .
Do not make multiple threads
Please do not spam the forums
What she said ^^^. You already had a thread opened for this question. Closing this thread.
Free advice: If you don't have time to learn how to do it correctly, how do you expect people to trust your output? Serious Android development work cannot be done in Windows. You could run an Ubuntu virtual machine within your Windows environment, but the work needs to be done in a Linux environment.
Hello everyone,iam new in forum.
Can anyone tell how to root "karbonn A3".Iam trying to use z4root,gingerbreak,universal androot.
But no one work.pls tel how to root my phone.
Thanks in advance...
Purity sure you'll want to post in the Q&A section for your device, or ask a mod to do it for you. Otherwise you'll get helpfully natured people like me that don't know a direct answer.
To help answer your question though; try adding the word 'solved' to the beginning of your search quarry and adding 'similar:website.com' but replace the website with sites like this one. Put the issue or thing you want to know more about between and you'll likely have a good start to your answer. Example:
Solved root epic 4g similar:forum.xda-developers.com
Hope it helps with your task. You can also replace the "similar" part with "site" to search only one site with google. And certainly replace the "epic 4g" part of the example with your device. This is the format I use to learn most new and old things on the web and then I refine it from there. Hit me up if you need more examples and I'll try to help in my free time

Hi again, its been a little wile and figured I'd check up on ya
Did you happen to root your device?
If so can you post links to the guides you used?
I ask because I'm currently starting a project within the main guide I'm writing on XDA (link in signature) to hack and root Android with another Android and a USB cable, no PC required style.

Now working on Scripting installers and tutorials for beginner scripting for; Bash, Python, and Java for Android and Linux
Also working on porting; Crazyflie-Quadcopter, Andoid-Casual, Maptools-MMO table top game maker and hoaster, jMonkey JDK, and Openstack-cloud services to run on Android.
A bit of infos before starting this thread. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 Canadian, I have a high end computer(maybe that helps for coding,stuff like that) and I have "medium" knowledge on rooting/flashing,etc. I am a great designer, well for myself, I think i'm good. So I can edit or create icons and themes for new rom!
I say medium, because the only thing I really know about this kind of stuff,is rooting,flashing,installing roms and pretty much that honestly.
I already downloading the Android SDK to test those custom roms i'd like to create. I thought of doing like a couple of guys on here, using the CM Source? and just adding stuff,etc.
--
What i'm looking to do, is creating a rom based of CM for the Galaxy S4 and just in general a little side project for myself and adding some infos in my head; Some may laugh because of the lack of knowledge, but hey! we all started somewhere
I'm asking the community of dev's or just users, do you have some threads or some stuff to download to "Start" this project ?
Some things I should read before, I won't test rom's on my phone as it's a daily phone, i'll use the emulator instead(AVD or SDK) and i'm already searching on how to run it.
If you have any useful youtube videos i'll gladly accept them
I found a tutorial on how to build a rom but for the Nexus 4, I guess it's the same process but different sources ?
I'll search for the sources of Cm for the Galaxy s4 but if anyone reads this thread and knows where to get it, please link me!
Thanks to the community, this may also be useful for other users. Thanks!
Okay, I will help
1st off, let me teach you some basics.
1.) You cannot test roms on the android sdk, the android sdk has nothing to do with roms, its for building apps and java programming. It will not help you with anything if an issue goes wrong in a rom, well only the adb (android debugging bridge) for taking locats.
2.) You cannot compile a rom on windows, only linux, preferably ubuntu. So you need to just download cm11 for your device and extract the rom zip.
I will tell you more later, but its like 1pm here Goodnight
