Hello,
I know this has been discussed long but I couldn't find a real satisfactory answer on previous posts. I'm currently looking for a stable and free JVM for my XDA as to develop java apps for it.
Personal Java is quite obsolete, j2ME doesn't seem to come with the correct jvm for the device.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone
I am planning to develop a Horoscope application for Android 2.1 + and need some help, advice on how I could go about it, apologies for the lame idea but I need to do this for a specific audience that do not have such application available for their language. I have not developed anything of this level of complexity and need some assistance if possible.
The app will need to look similar to this comitic.com/android/dailyhoroscope-application and will be free source for an audience of another language, the Horoscope readings are taken from a specified RSS feed.
I am using the latest Eclipse IDE with Android SDK for development.
If anyone has any source code that could help, please let me know.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Any comments are welcome
Regards
Hi everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great Christmas. I just got a nexus 7 for Christmas and really want to make an android app now. I've learned other languages before like HTML 5, CSS3, but not java. How should I go about learning java and then making an app? Thanks and enjoy the break!

In my opinion best thing is to buy a book about developing android apps.

Sorry, html nor css3 is comparable with java!! If you know JavaScript or PHP that would be an advantage.
Don't buy a book about android developing: you'll get frustrated! Learn java first: It isn't as hard as you think after a week: Don't give up. If you know java, android will be much more easy!

What's the best way to learn java?

way many java tutorials are available on the net.
And java is very easy language to learn, and developing android is very easy as well.

I always recommend the Head First Java book.

Do you have some tutorials links regarding Java for android ? I am looking for a good tutorial to start but with all the options I'm scared of wasting my time with tutorial that are too complicated or just bad...
The "Programming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems" course starts on Coursera on 21-th january. May be it will be useful for you.
Java for Android is slightly different from regular Java. That is, the programming language itself is the same, but some of the packages (libraries) are different.
I think it's best to start with regular Java (for desktop apps), because there's a lot more books, tutorials and other resources to get you started. Once you know the basics of the Java language, you can then move to Android.
I can recommend Netbeans as a good IDE for starting with Java development.
The official IDE for Android is Eclipse, with a special Android plugin provided by Google. I don't find Eclipse very userfriendly, and it is not that stable either, so I don't think it's that good for beginners.
Some code I develop for Android today, I develop with Netbeans as a regular Java app first, then import the code into Eclipse and modify it to work for Android. But that's mostly the 'business end' code (I mainly develop graphical/rendering stuff...). UI code is entirely different for regular Java and Android, so it wouldn't make sense to do that in Netbeans first.
Youtube or Amazon will help you.
For learning Java I can recommend the newboston videos on youtube, his Android series even explains the java in good detail.
There are some good books for java, check Amazon reviews for the best ones. I like the Dietal How to Program, Java: The complete reference, and Java for Dummies.
I need help/advice. Ive been looking everywhere YouTube,Google. I'm trying to find the right software and info on building my own android game..I have eclipse but don't know java or any other programming language to save my life. Anyone have any advice on what I need or a website to teach me.

I'm not aware of any great game building templates for android, so this post only has to do with making your own software from scratch.
I would go to the android developer site, and download the Android Development Tools: http://developer .android.com/sdk/index.html (remove the space)
Then I would read up on Java and try to make increasingly difficult projects. Don't even start with android, get a java book (Java Illuminated and Big Java are good ones) and learn the basics of Java. If you know another language already, that won't be too hard. Then, start looking through the android development website, which has a lot of good tutorials.
Once you have an idea for the game, write it out, figure out what you need each piece to do, and then you'll have a much easier time writing your game, because you'll have specific questions that can be answered by the tutorials or your fellow developers here at xda :fingers-crossed:
Have fun and good luck!

You can try the GameMaker, but you will need to know at least the basics of any programming language (variables, conditionals, loops,...)
Consider learning Unity 3D. Its an amazing tool for both 3d and now 2d games.
You can use and learn Unity in easy way, internet is full of Unity tutorials.
Hi xda-developers,
I'm Jamie, a 14 year old programmer in the United Kingdom. I know HTML, CSS, Python, Php, MySql and the basics of Java and Objective C. I've come up with an idea for a never-made-before application for iOS and Android. Although, only knowing the basics of Java and Objective C, I'm struggling with developing the application for iOS and Android. I'm offering an intermediate developer the opportunity to develop the application alongside me and take 15% ownership of all revenue generated by the application. The application will cost $0.99¢ or £0.58 on both the Google Play Store and App Store. This application will take media through Google's API to a brand new level.
Who's interested?
Thanks,

Hey Jamie am Somto am 17 and from Africa and I program on android but am fresh out of d beginner level and I would love to hear about ur idea if u say yes then am gonna drop my email so we could do business

Hi Somto,
You said that you are a beginner. I need an advanced-intermediate programmer to help me develop the application. But, you could be sufficient in bringing new ideas on board to the application! However, I'd like to know what programming skills you have so far. Could you tell me?
Best,
Jamie Mathieson

Hey jamie I appreciate and admire u want higher expert skills but am considerably good anyway and am always fresh with graphic ideas besides anything I really cant do I post it on xda .
The only real problem you can get is you trusting me with your idea.

Hey everyone,
New to Android development, but not programming. Most of my programming falls in the category of web development, and a few web-apps. All very miniscule with Java, and that's my downfall right now mid-development.
See, I'm working on this application for my SecurSend web-app (that's currently offline, sorry), but my weakness in Java is proving to delay development. I've been scrounging around for resources on learning Java, but none have really proved successful..
Is there anything you guys could recommend from when you first got started?
Hi!
Try "Java The complete reference" by Herbert Schildt. It's a great book.

I got the basics off The New Boston's youtube series. Then I moved on to www.codingbat.com exercises.
Just go to javacodegeeks.com they have good guides
