Hi, I was wondering if anyone has gotten the WM5 SDK to work with Visual Studio Express. I tried using Orca as described here, which allowed me to install it but it doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone know why they don't work? Is it a technical limitation or just MS trying to sell more software? I'd really like to try some WM5 development but $300 is a lot to shell out to write a Hello World application. Please let me know if you have made any progress getting WM5 to work with the Express editions, thanks!
PC Plus Magazine did a big review of the express versions and said that they "expressly" leave out Mobile development.
Good to practice on, but not for WM5/WM2003 development so far I think. If you're desperate, you can get a free copy of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 from many places, and that will let you do pretty much everything, but the emulator is not perfect. This can be downloaded from elsewhere though. So, pretty much full development for free!

A new development tool is now available for Android devices: Basic4android.
Basic4android syntax is similar to Visual Basic with support for objects.
Basic4android includes a GUI designer that supports multiple screens and resolutions.
I believe that this tool is much simpler to start with than Eclipse + Java.
Compiled applications are regular APK files, and the performance is similar to Java performance.
You can see more information here: basic4ppc[dot]com
Does it have a tutorial or may some one leave a brief training here?
thanks for finding something like this. I've always wanted to create my own apps and now I can and with this program it looks pretty good.

Godsend. I've been self-learning Java this week and slowing developing my first two apps using Eclipse. I've got a good grasp of the language but I was always better with vb.
Thanks heaps
I had Basic4PPC for WM Development, then Android came along. I'm glad the author has released Basic4Android as well!

Looks very promising!! Though I would have liked to see C# instead of visual basic coding. I can't even remember it anymore. It's been so long since I have used visual basic!! Lol. Maybe it's time to study up. I have refused to use have for a number of reasons!

Does anyone have now experiences with that programm? I have an application written in VB for Windows Mobile. I want to change that to Android.
Would be nice to get some information before i buy this tool.
Wow, this looks interesting. Might pick this up
Edit: wow this was an old topic..

It shouldn't be difficult. If you like you can post this issue in Basic4android forums. I'm sure that it will be solvable.
I use mostly b4a, it is very simple and there is a lot of help on the forums, and people developing libraries and code classes.
I am learning on android studio now, but I have been happy developing with b4a!
Well, I've started learning Java and I read somewhere that Java is used to program apps for Android. Now, I'm not looking to make complex games and apps, more like a "database" app to store data and maybe some form of note taking application to start off with. Can you guys recommend reading material, tutorials and programs to further my eduction? I've hit a bit of a rough spot so far.
Android has a notepad tutorial you can start there for free lol
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html
And when I started most people said "Hello, Android" was the best for beginners.
You can also check www.apress.com they have a decent array for books for android,java...etc Any of those books can be purchased from them directly or from amazon.com

The Apress books are very helpful with the examples in code. It helped me a lot and it still does. I've got Beginning Android 2. I didn't read the book from a to z, I just started trying stuff and search a lot on the internet, there are a lot of examples out there.
my favorite eclipse/java learning tips
i spent 25+ years developing on mainframes, then windows pcs, and now phones! what a ride!
my biggest hurdle was transforming my development thinking style from linear (fortran-77, Macro-32, pascal, assembler...) to the object-oriented mode. Classes, instantiation, "this", blew me away for awhile....ok, still does sometimes...
I programmed for the windows mobile phone for 2 years and wrote most of the stuff in lua. You can see some of the windows mobile clocks i designed here:

I'd not wrote any code in java before I've started building apps for android. Only experience with VHDL, TCL, Makefiles and the basis of C++ and visual basic.
I think it is good to know the basis of Java and OOP but not necessary to be a java pro before you can start with android.
I've learned most from just start with simple android examples an try to understand what they do. If you have a question look on the internet and if you can't find the answer, just ask the question. There are a lot people willing to help.
I usually use the stackoverflow website (http://stackoverflow.com) to post my questions and looking for answers. When you'll be deep in development, these guys will be useful
I would love to create an android game. So I am planning to start learning it.
I have coded an application already and I think I know the basics. So now I want to get into game programming which is too complex if I heard it right.
I would like my fellow developers who have experience in coding games to give me some links and tutorials which will come handy for newbie like me.
Thanks in advance!

I think the best way to learn any new area of software development is to get stuck into a project. I've been working in various embedded and real-time environments for years but a couple of years ago myself and a couple of mates decided to try to make a game. At the time we wanted to learn C# so we dived into the XNA framework & made something that ran on Windows & XBox. It was never released, but I learned a lot of new stuff. Started with their tutorials and went from there. I can't help with links and so on for Android but don't be put off by the idea that games are too complex - the first software job I ever did was on a full size submarine simulator for the Navy & that really was complicated!
I think that this is a very good piece of advice: http://www.raywenderlich.com/12065/how-to-create-a-simple-android-game

I agree. But Andengine is free and very good. Look at the link I gave above.
I used Unity3D for my class project before. It's very nice and easy to use. You should check it out

When I started to learn android game developing I found some very useful tutorials at: obviam.net. Look for the series 'Getting started in android development with libgdx'.
This series uses the framework libGDX, which enables you to write your game once and easily port it to many different platforms.

I totally support this. I created my first Android game (Rock Ninja) with no previous game development experience thanks to the awesome Libgdx framework/community.
Yeah, LibGDX great thing and very easy to learn on GoogleCode's wiki page by simply reading topics one by one. Of course if you are familiar with java first
I'm also member of libGDX community, even helped to fix some bugs in particle editor. But after deeper look at this engine, you find some problems in deployment on other platforms. So, I'm looking at the Unity 3d now, besides it became free for android and iOS version.

True, iOS is still work in progress with Libgdx. Good news is that the new RoboVM backend(that will replace Monotouch/Xamarin) is looking really promising and a first app has already been successfully published to the Appstore.
I have a decent stash of books on mobile development. I would start with either monogame, libGDX(provided you know openGL), AndEngine, Unity3D, or use cross platform tools that turn HTML5/CSS3/Javascript into native code. Give me a PM if you need anything, best of luck :good:

You don't need any knowledge of OpenGL for Libgdx, everything is abstracted out for you.

Internally yes, but it's abstracted by the framework for you not to need to worry about it.
Hi, I search some developer to create a unofficial whatsapp client for bada.
An unofficial client it's yet created by Taglal for Meego and BlackBerry 10.
The source code is available on GitHub
https://github.com/tgalal
How many developers are available?
Best regards
No developer available?

I think it would be better to wait for the developers to fix the audio problem on Android, and then it will be possible to use only this operating system.
Anyway, I can try to help occasionally if needed.

I tried to work on it last year, but I got stuck pretty early in the process. And therefore I have no documentation or something useful.
To convert the unofficial version from Nokia N9 (Wazzup) its necessary to know three main things:
C++ (for Bada and N9), Python and QML (only for N9).
So in my opinion, if developers are available, then it's better try to help in the development of Android,
which will provide a "ultimate" solution (and that is already in advanced development processes) than a solution for a specific application.

Maybe later also for Tizen or what ever... usefull.
And why not increase skills and learn more...

2 - I found something to go with bada (C + +) and python together , now I will study the situation better but I think there may be useful https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-bada-push
3 - The guide for push notifications on bada 2.0 http://developer.bada.com/article/push-messaging-guide
for now only this ... Now I will start working on the project, any ideas and help are welcome, once I get something of a minimal working I will upload everything on github.

You can download the source code of the Wazzapp (C++ for Nokia n9), and see how it connects with a library of Python.
Actually, I downloaded Qt Creator, but I could not run the code.
