Why don't you go to the official android developers page?
Xda app
Not everyone knows how to find the pages they need. Perhaps provide a link? I assume he hasn't come across that yet since he's asking.

Programming is always hard. I suggest starting with a simple app that has 3 screens and a couple of buttons for interaction and maybe some images.
Xda app
Do you have any suggestions for staring apps for this

First of all, do you know how to write in Java? Because none of the tutorials I have found include that part. You will find it very hard if you don't! Pick up a book on Java, and read all the way through it first. I found books better than online for some reason. It doesn't matter if the book is a few years old, many of the concepts will be the same.
Then find some beginning tutorials for developing Android apps. I've found a few, and I will update this if I find any more, but here are some:
http://hackaday.com/2010/07/12/android-development-101-–-a-tutorial-series/
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
http://androidwizard.net/ -- Make sure you have a look at the beginner ones first, because there are many tutorials here.
Then if you require more detail, move on to the info at developer.android.com/ as it is more advanced (well its aimed at users who already know a bit).
I would also learn just some basics on how a program flows. It is essential since most programmers know several languages or are able to know how to read code without knowing the syntax. After you get the basics down, look through all the examples given with the SDK and see if you understand it. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I read "Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours". It was pretty cheap and they also have a java one. It was a nice start, pretty good explanation of code and space out each part so not overwhelmed.

Should I read the java one first? And where would I get this book? Im just wanting to learn this.

I only read the android one. I would say read the android one and if you are lost after the second or third chapter, read it again (they are short) and if still not understanding then get the java one. It all depends on you're background and current knowledge...also remember Google is you're friend for words/statements that you don't recognize. Hope that helps, and.you can get book at barnes and noble or borders. It seems to be a common book.

I got the android one and might have to get the java one after looking at this

Anything you don't understand you can just ask questions about and and we all can try to explain it in better terms for you.

I have no idea on how to do either so I need some help on these two subjects so I can start my first real project.
Ok this may sound kind of unusual, but I once heard that if you buy a book, read it and apply what it teaches, you learn!!

This is XDA, not school. We read and learn ourselves. If you have specific questions along the way, ask if you already searched and can't find the answer.
Good luck!

Hi for all
I want to be an developer
I know things about the programming , SDK , Eclipse , and the Packages
Can I learn?
thank you
Of course! Best advice is to look through these threads, read everything in xda university (both forums and website) and start small, search for answers but don't be afraid to ask questions when your stuck.
Best of luck

Exactly this ^^^
No one can prevent you from learning, but we can point you in the right direction and the XDA-University is probably the best place to start.
Good luck and have fun!:highfive:
Where's the best place to start android development with no programing experience I've heard that java is the best doing some random searching but can someone point me to something more specific like a book or something any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would start with any Java programming guide as well as Any linux beginners guide. You can find both at the local book store or library

This what I used to learn java and I can say ever thing he went over was covered in my java classes. Also you need to know your way around Linux.

I find no help to the ones who are really want it and everyone answers to simple questions like which should be my next phone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
That's because the questions of recommending phones or kernels or even ROMs are not allowed in xda. Sorry Mate!
Better luck next time!

What Arnau said plus many times people don't want to look stupid on forums with as much brainpower and expertise as on the XDA forum. Some of the most brilliant people hang out here and obviously if you don't know what you're talking about, to try and bluff your way through may work on some forums, but not here.
As you visit more often, look for some of the gurus, follow their threads, Thank Them and if they help you, contribute. That might really help you get the answers you need. Good luck.
XDA is not a support site, it is a site for and about developers and development, soooo, I suggest, if you are in fact looking for support, use search here, or go elsewhere.
Meanwhile, development still occurs here at XDA.
