I'm putting my theming project aside for now and get onto creating an app that I've always wanted to create that I do not see ANYWHERE in the market, forums, android websites, etc.
I've been reading and reading and reading different threads, instructions, etc. But no clue where to start. I've been reading on App Inventor but realized that it is very limited and I have my high doubts that App Inventor will not be able to achieve what I have in mind to make.
I've got the latest SDK and AVD Manager, JDK, Java, and have been using my emulator to test edited APKs. I'm pretty sure I'll be using my emulator to see how my app progress is coming along and see possible FCs and other issues and correct them as well as adding more to the app to make it even better.
But right now I'm stuck at where to begin here. Right when I was about to create this thread, I was making the name of the Title of this thread and was given threads relating to my title name and saw one thread that was sort of mentioning what I'm asking here.
I read the link provided in that thread ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html ) and got some clues but just not enough to get me started here. I just need that push to get me going and eventually push it out to the market and make some money as a side project and learn from that and possibly make more useful apps. I cannot disclose my ideas here because then someone else (who has experience making apps) could take those ideas from me and go make it.
Is anyone willing to work with me here to get me started? I've helped countless people so it would be nice for a change for someone to help me out here.
There are so much Android development books on the market that I suggest to start with one of them. It's the best way to get some knowledge of the design principles used by the Android development framework.
Another method is to start with some examples found on the web. Just search for Android examples or something like that and you get tons of links
Another method is just to create something, get stuck and try to search for a solution (the most pragmatic method )
Yeah I know. That's why I'm constantly researching. I'm seeing some similarities between Java coding and building scripts in IRC (which I used to do, nothing big, just really small stuff). But my main problem is knowing what exactly are the main tools I need. I've had Eclipse for awhile but never used it. It has a lot of stuff in it and I get lost after a couple executions.
I'm just anxious to get started somewhere and get the momentum rolling for starters.
Could someone point me to a good book/ebook ? There are many out there but I'm sure that are some better than others...
If any french-speaker knows one in Voltaire's language, I'm in too. But English is fine...

Yeah, a good book (english) would be great. Can anyone recommend one?
You don't have to buy books but they do contain a lot more info in one book and would be better to have than trying to scour the internet and pull a bunch of infos together and try to put it together to understand step by step on how to get started and everything else.
Here's a link to a lot of android development books:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...pment&sprefix=android+application+development
Here's a link to some more info to getting started that is also useful:
http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html
You may also need to get a Java coding book to help you put codes together properly and understand what each coding does, and tweaking them to work better.
Here's the link to Java coding for Android stuff for beginners:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...x=java+for+dummies&rh=n:283155,k:android+java
I just bought 2 books for Android application development and looking around for a good Java coding for beginners.

professional android 2 application development by Reto Meier: http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTi...ication-Development.productCd-0470565527.html
Or, the Busy Coder's guide to android development by Mark L Murphy: http://commonsware.com/Android/
Last one is more written in a "let's get dirty" style. Really like that

I think any java book will do, as long as it covers the principles of object oriented design and the data structures used by Java. You don't need any info about GUI programming in Java because that's all covered by the Android application framework.
The best Java books are the ones written by James Gosling et al, the designers of Java. But that may also be over the top for Android application development. Just some basic Java will do to get you started. The algorithms needed for basic apps aren't that complex.
App Inventor is a great tool to develop your android app. It simplifies the development and the editor is very intuitive.

May i know where can i go for this question since i cannot access to your android software devellopment page
Hello, i'm not good in app programming. You're still new into software development. Did you try visiting to the App Development site?
You can visit here and you can easily learn more few things regarding about app development.
Good luck!

Hello,
I am looking for a Developer who can create an Android App/Service/Whatever for me to do the following task.
Since I have no expertise in Android Development I am very thankful for any help an will surely send some $ as compensation for the result.
TASK:
The App/Service/Whatever should be able to open up a webpage, perform a click on that page on a button (follow all redirections, parse and use javascript, use cookies) just act like a normal Browser, but completely invisible.
I dont want to see any Icon or UI Interaction. Maybe its possible to realize that only on Shell (Terminal) Level.
The Final Webpage's HTML-Code should be saved in a file on the FileSystem (/data/Whatever/page.html).
The App is only for me, my device is rooted and Running Android 4.4.1 .
I hope that someone can help me.
Hello) can suggest you http://mlsdev.com/en/

They are really the best company I used to work with!
Check out this app,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsjust140.news
It loads webpages. It caches those webpages so we can use the app offline. It's made by me. If you want something like this, I can do it.

Hi Guys,
New here, but not to the ROM community. I would like to get a bit of feedback from devs and from the general public about this. I am part of a research project with my university that is looking to expand some of our project out into the open source community. Unfortunately we are no longer able to run the research lab anymore, but we would like to see some of our tools be used in the community. We've made several tools that allow us to gather extremely useful feedback about what happens during different running processes of the device that we think would be extremely useful and interesting for developers. We would like to see some of these tools used by the community, but I'd like to get some feedback first about these. Any information that one would like to know would be on our website https://phone-lab.org/. I will also be around to answer any questions that you guys may have about it.
Some of the things we would like to see open sourced would be our log gathering process. We use a centralized application to gather specified logs by tag from logcat and upload those logs to a backend that a developer can use to improve or fix a bug in their system. We also have modified logcat in android to have a more organized format for easier human readability. This is an example of only two of our tools.
