I'm in the same situation
- C/C++
- SQL
- Java

Would be helpful if you also included the types of programs you were interested in working on.

Good idea
Its a good idea if we all freshers hook up together. wht you say? and after that we will get some experienced developer to lead us

For android always java is best(according to the arcticles i read) so obviously JAVA

I know an app I would pay for is one that could control the video functions of a PS3 with my phone. I would think it is possible since the the PS3 remote uses bluetooth, but I'm not a developer so it might not be possible.

I don't know if you've done this already but google provides all the sdk material on their android developers site. They also give instructions on how to get started using the sdk. Pretty much everything seems to be built on java. Have fun!
Google provides almost all the tutorials and instructions you could ever need to begin developing.

yea you should start at http://developer.android.com/index.html if you know java you should be good to go after reading and doing the tutorials

Thanks
I already read those things. Anyway thanks for your support and encouragment. and im now done with
->installed eclipse
->installed android sdk
->connected both eclipse and android sdk
-> now reading a book on how to develop android apps(in chapter 3 now)
All i need
-> some good friends(those who like to develop android apps,its okay if you are noobs)
->One experienced developer to guide me [this is optional ;-)]

HAHA...pretty much me too. Been debating about getting started for just over a year now. (Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash, Actionscript3, HTML, javascript, ~coldfusion, ~php, learning C#, can read VB, etc.)
Coming at this from a designing for training view. Been 15 yrs in technical training and looking to learn more. I got a few project ideas already and two things I really want...(which is what I am using for motivation)
As for the google tutorials...hello worlds really don't get you very far and I have looked out on web for other tuts. They all seem to have issues though...
Would appreciate feedback on the following....
-- This site/tut seems to 'assume' a whole lot and the program doesn't even work:
=== http://androidcore.com/android-programming-tutorials/182-fancy-listviews-part-one.html
(this one seems to not be showing any errors in SDK [it was first time, but not after restart] but it force closes in my emulator every time)
--This site/tut looked a bit more promising but is also has stuff that doesn't seem to work:
=== http://androidwizard.net/2010/05/create-a-context-menu-on-top-of-a-listview/
(no such thing as a OnPopulateContextMenuListener according to SDK and google site, switch(aItem.getId()) is not a supported method according to SDK, .getItem(menuInfo.position) cannot be resolved...all things a newb is at a loss to fix)
So...I am actually looking either for better tuts that get more in depth than hello world or someone from those sites that I can correspond with (as a trainer my OCD is really bothered by missing info in what look like the right kind of tut.)
Anyway...jenod...if you get some newbs together to work on stuff...I'd be interested.

Thanks for your feedback.. wil surely PM u if i get some(i mean developers)..

(why) does Android
Know what would be totally awesome? If someone like (why the lucky stiff) wrote something poigniant, beautiful and easy-to-follow to lead someone into Android app development! Something that reads almost like his Poigniant Guide to Ruby or like Chris Pine's Learn to Program.

Ya I have just started in android development. I have had many years of experience in all sorts of languages java, perl, python, c++, c#, and c. I also have a start on one project that would be great to have a group of people to work together with. I am very interested with this. Hope this works out, shoot me a PM if you want.

Hey guys!
awesome idea, i study informatics in second year now and iam just done with my JAVA lessons. Maybe i could help u, cuz i want to learn programming apps for andoid in my holiday too.
I also have an Idea for an app.
So PM me if u still need some help.
mfg X

Please PM if you would like to make a team, I too am interested and have multiple ideas for apps that can be made and released quickly

Thanks
I have to really thank you ppl for your piceless support.
Interested ppl you can PM me your Personal info(ur name,age,interests and wht u know).
Thanks

PM'd, any suggestions for apps to make as our starting point?

Hey idk if you all have seen this yet, but it is worth checking out. Google has a free software developing tool in beta at the site http:// appinventor .googlelabs .com
The beta requires an invite much like google voice but it looks to have some potential.
(type the url into the internet, I had to add spaces because I cannot post urls yet)

It will not be as powerful as straight coding. It is meant to allow people to make little apps for themselves. One review I read even indicated that inventor apps will not be allowed in market.
(This is all early speculation, but hey it is what I read today as I went ahead and submitted my info for an invite...LOL)
Coming from Macromedia/Adobe...this would be kind of like Captivate is to Flash is to Actionscript. This would be Captivate...simple but simple.

Hey this sounds like a great idea, hope everything works out. We need take over apples app market!

[Q] Best SDK for cross platform development?

I have some programming experience (mostly web design) but first plunge in smartphones and its about time.
XDA I searched but honestly couldnt find this topic. If anyone could point me in the right direction, or am wrong for even thinking about an SDK?
Its just a directory type app for people to find parks, some simple menu's. Professional looking with great transitions.
I would appreciate it greatly and hopefully in a year I can help someone out..

Hello 2U,
In this thread I'm referring to several SDK/ DTK. As far as I know there's no SDK for several Operating Systems. Though I could be wrong; leave a link here if you find one
Have fun programming,
Senax

Check corona sdk, gideros and moai sdk with lua programming.
---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
corona and gideros is easier, but moai is open source and free.

Gideros SDK
I use Gideros SDK came at him from Corona SDK, because in the past few functions supported in Corona. Now Corona is more common and with the same function, but back i have not become.
For example, my first game made ​​by Gideros: "Slug" on google play

(App) New programming app

hey all,
i have not seen anything about this little app so i gigured i would mention it. its free and open source. i played with it a little while this morning and it has potential. the link for info and download of binaries and source, etc is
http://code.google.com/p/cdmaworkshoptool/
cheers,
disco

Thread moved

just in: cdmaDevTerm v2
thanks for the mention disco. thought about posting about devterm before but never really knew where or what to say(also didn't want to spam the boards)... but since you brought it up!
chromableedstudios is proud to announce a new release of cdmadevterm - a foss cdma service tool
beta v.2 release cdmaDevTerm - 03.07.12
can be downloaded here: http://cdmaworkshoptool.googlecode.com/files/CdmaDevTermV.2.zip
new features include:
-support for user adding any 16 digit pass they want(this is compatible with the cdmaworkshop 16 digit password file)
-support for user extensible .xml based data/nv flashing scripts
-check for update tab

@Disco what types if things would you like to see? there are quite a few features that are experimental if built from source and debugmode is enabled (such as efs and an adb tag)
this is free software so if the community gets involved(for example fixing the broken-ish scripts that are distributed with this version) it is more likely to become useful good software than if one-hungry-programmer-with student-loans-and-a day-job works on his off time for free
Edit: new versions my be obtained at http://code.google.com/p/cdmaworkshoptool/
current release is .2.85 and includes most previous features and a new more flexible python scripting system

Hi kernelpanic,
Your tool is cool.
I'm interested in developing a similar FOSS tool that is multiplatform (Linux, Windows, Mac, etc) and command-line. I decided to look into this because moving my Razr Maxx to PagePlus was not too hard... but I had to boot into Windows to use DFS. It got me wondering how hard it would be to develop a tool similar to yours but with different goals.
(I too wondered which forum to post in, this one that it was moved in doesn't seem appropriate either. Without google, I would have never found this post. I think their should be a programming tools discussion forum.)

Hi syserr,
Thanks for the interest in cdmaDevTerm(which has been quite the labor of love). I too had looked a few times at either making devTerm cross-platform or starting a new app that would be.
I mostly got discouraged at the lack of a good standardized way to interact with a serial port cross platform... Java mostly people recommend third-party libraries which almost universally have bad reviews.. mono(at least when I investigated) seemed almost as bad or worse than java...
"how hard it would be to develop a tool similar to yours" <-- i think the answer would probably vary a lot based on your level of programming skill and amount of time you can throw at the project.. it would take me much less time to re-implement from the ground up now(and would probably be cleaner), but that's mostly because I am a better developer after many years of hard work and several doing development as my day job
feel free to email me chromableedstudios if you get something going or have questions(on gmail)

[APP 2.2+] WritingPrompts - New App

I figured XDA would be a good place to promote my new app. I just finished up work on a Writing Prompts app. I put quite a bit of polish into it. Nothing crazy design-wise, but it's very simple and easy to use. This is my first major app release to Android. I have released a few apps in the past before I focused on Android development full-time, so I was looking to promote this app a little bit and get some feedback on it.
Just want some honest feedback and suggestions as a newly full-time independent Android developer.
As of release date there are no prompt packs available to purchase, but I will be adding them in the next day or two and adding more over time if the app gets some downloads. I will also be adding several hundred more prompts to all the other categories over the next week, but I want to get it out there now to see what kind of things I need to work on and how well the app actually does.
If you like it, tell people about it. I'm hoping to generate some buzz. Creating apps in my source of income at the moment, and this is my first attempt, so any thoughtful feedback or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Working now, thanks. Will give feedback as soon as I have chance to.

Anyone have a chance to download this?
I'm working on adding new prompt packs within the next day also.

Yeah downloaded it. Haven't had the chance to do extensive testing though. But the first impression is that it's pretty cool. Will give feedback as soon as I get around to it.

AW: [APP 2.2+] WritingPrompts - New App
Finally I was able to take some time to take a look at your app.
I like the overall design. It is simple to use.
The prompts are good too.
You should target people who are inexperienced writers. Or those who want to start writing.
Advanced writers may get the feeling, using this app, that the story they write is not their own idea anymore. But that's just my personal opinion.

Devs: Point me in the right direction please?

I want to learn how to develop apps for Android/Linux
3D interface apps are what I am most interested in building.
I know it will be hard work but I need to know where to start.
If possible I would like to buy good video courses to take like TrainSignals or CBT Nuggets.
There's also this awesome open sourced 3D UI I would like to port to Android.

Hi.
Could you add some info on your current knowledge base. Do you have previous experience on java and/or 3D programming?

No, I have 0 experience in code.
I'm just a Windows System and Network Admin (6 years) That needs to step it up.

LE BUMP!

Lol I can't tell if you're trolling... but
start with 2 things:
* lightly hacking your android phone to get the hang of the little things like .apk's and the filesystem (it seems like you prolly already know this biz)
* and start playing with the Android SDK
You need the Android SDK before you can do pretty much anything... and try to stick to the Java language (otherwise you also need the NDK)
Eclipse sucks majorly as an IDE (you program with these), but at least google now has a premade sdk+eclipse kit that mostly works
you can start from scratch with programming courses but obviously as a network admin you will have a strong sense of programming without even realising it.
do some intro stuff like MyBringBack where they teach you XML and overlays etc and then go straight to advanced Java (hint: object-oriented) and then OpenGL (the 3D side of things).
edit: please hit thanks if this post was AT ALL helpful, as for some reason I can't really do anything useful in any other thread than here so it is very much appreciated
EDIT EDIT: waiting yet again for annoying 5-minute rule... and that's me done in this place for another while me thinks!

oh, and other dev's: please dont take my Java-OOP reference as flame-bait... it is what it is, and he can learn procedural or can learn classes+inheritance

I don't concider it flame bate....but yet I use both
as for how to learn.
1) start reading code.....all you can.
2) Learn to use a debugger properly.....I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH
3) Discover new and intristing ways to think.....I find that I an other devs that I know do not allways stop to look at the larger picture
4) prepare for some long time at the keyboard....and get some time away to.
wec
ps.....I have been doing this for to long
