Help Learning Java/Developing Android App

Obviously tons of people want this, and undoubtedly have asked for this, but can someone help me learn java and develop an android app? I don't need them to do it, but answer some questions I may have. I understand I could post it here, but I would like someone I could message to privately help me. Sorry if this is against the rules.

I think posting to stackoverflow would be more appropriate for such questions.

where to post?

which is the correct forum to post general android app development questions? not android os development, but android apps. i'm relatively new to android app development but i have a decent enough background (i hope) to ask intelligent questions.
thanks.

Right here.
But before asking your question you should search to make sure it has not been asked and answered before.

[Q] How/why do you collaborate?

Hi,
I'm just want to know a bit about everybody here and the whole app development community in general.
Why do you guys come to the forum?
I'm part of a few open source forums, and I feel they are different than the ones here... in the sense that there is no central project to it.
So I was wondering why and how people come here and whether there is any type of cooperation that takes place...
in other words, do you guys think you work together and help each other out?
and if so, in what way?

erm...thanks. Sorry for that.
The thing is that I was going to change the title to discussion rather than question. but wasn't able to.
I really wanted it as a discussion more than anything else.
But thanks for moving it anyhow.

I've personally joined this forum for the huge amount of information on here supplied by very knowledgeable members.
It does make posting here very hard, as:
1-If you search the forum, the answer is definitely somewhere to be found
2-There's always a senior member here to help solve your problems or point to in the right direction

and what sort of information are you looking for.
Is it something specific, like a problem with your device.
Or is it general, like hints and tips, or tutorials?

[Completed] [Q] Q: Change Volume Panel screen position/gravity

As the title implies, been looking for quite some time on how to change the volume panel, expanded or not, position on the screen.
The reason behind it is that on >5 inch displays, it's kind of hard to reach the top slider, so moving the panel position, say screen center or bottom would definitely do the trick.
If someone would please point me in the right direction or provide an answer as to if it's even possible, would gladly appreciate it!
Cheers!

Thank you for your reply, I have read the sticky, but it seems it was sideways, will move my q to the general Q&A. Kindly asking moderators to close the thread.

Thread closed, thank you.

many must agree

Why participate in any thread on xda when Ur a n00b like me?? surely, the normal thing non n00bs do is to just ignore? Every time I participate in any thread on xda I just get ignored because I'm a n00b. I'm sure I'm not the only one on the intranet that feels this way. Not a question just stating my thoughts about this website.

First, this forum isn't a help-desk or a support forum. This website is not here for us to help you, it is here for you to find your own answers and only ask when you cant find or dont understand the answers.
Second, most of the questions you've posted, already have solutions, if it's obvious that you haven't searched for them, most members won't answer because we don't spoonfeed people looking for answers. If you are searching and you are finding answers but don't understand the answers you find, it is still on you to do some researching about what you found in order to understand what it is that you found. Sometimes it takes days/weeks/months to figure out what things are and what they mean, even for members that are NOT noobs. Don't just spend a little time looking for answers and then come here asking questions just because you didn't understand what you found in the first few minutes of reading it. Do some google searches to understand what it is saying.
If you're looking for a place for someone to hold your hand or do the thinking and the work for you, XDA is not that place. We don't mind pointing someone in the right direction, just don't ask questions that have already been asked repeatedly, this shows that you haven't searched and seen where it was already asked, therefore, your question will be ignored. Don't ask simple questions that can be easily answered with a simple Google search, those also get ignored because it shows that you aren't willing to do your own searching.
When you are searching and you find information that you think is relevant to your needs, don't just jump the gun and try it, that is reckless and can lead to causing worse issues. You need to do deeper research about your specific device, your issue and it's potential solutions on order to understand exactly what will or won't work. Get more familiar with "what not to do" instead of "what to do" when you're attempting to modify a device.
