Hi Guys,
I'm using a sole Herald for testing, development and as my main phone. Having used the Android emulator which came with the SDK, based on QEMU, it got me thinking..why can't we develop an emulator for our OMAP850 based devices?
I don't come from an embedded systems/electronics background, so any pointers will be greatly appreciated! My specific questions are, what would be the hurdles to overcome?
Many thanks in advance!!
EDIT:
Quite interestingly, something similar has been done for a Nokia tablet, and for the very same purpose I intend using the emulator for (porting Android to our Wings and Heralds)!!
Here's the link: http://www.newlc.com/en/eeedroid-emulator-nokia-tablet-desktop-ready-test-android

C'mon all ye experts out there, suggestions please!!
I had this idea a year ago and I've searched a lot about it. Theoretically it is possible, but who has time to do this? AFAIK there is an emulator for the OMAP850 out there, AFAIR opensource. There should also be some other emulators who have things like wi-fi ready. It should be possible to "put" these things together. I only have two problems: 1. I haven't already programmed such things and 2. I don't have enough time to learn how to do that.
But if there would be an emulator... It would be great!
Hi rstweb,
Thanks for the reply/lead. I searched for AFAIR opensource but couldn't gather much. Do you have any links I could use??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks..

I know this has probably been answered a dozen times but what do i need to do to get started developing an app for android. Specific names of software or articles would greatly help.
I have almost no knowledge and think that this would be a great learning experience for me seeing as how i want to be a software engineer. Any help would be appreciated.

as i understand it, you need to download and install the sdk, java, and eclipse
these will give you the software to start modifying and developing apps
its a pain though, when first starting out, lots of learning to do just to get those setup properly
but its all there on the google code pages...go here http://developer.android.com/index.html and knock yourself out
Hey guys I was hoping you could help me out. Great site here and awesome community. Can someone just simply give me the proper reading material in order to port this? I am trying android developing I use to do some minor developing but never with android, I will have about a year of free time and I was thinking I might as well be productive. Just a start, yes I googled it, and I just get lots of crap of games ported to android not how it was ported. Just some beginner sites would be awesome. I know I can't just port games I need to know android basics just don't know where to look
Maybe here: http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html ?

Help is most definitely welcome.
Hello All,
I searched for related posts extensively and due to the words which describe my question, I was unsuccessful. If you know there is another post on this, please point me in that direction and I apologize for wasting bandwidth.... otherwise on to the question:
I've been developing apps for the last three months and my development environment (Eclipse, ADT, MotoDev Studio) on my desktop and laptop are working flawlessly. I actually had to spend a bit of time to get to this state, so I'm apprehensive about changing anything.
1. Will rooting my Moto Droid 1, Nook Color, Gtab, Etc. have an adverse effect on my development environment?
2. Can you envision ANY* problems related to app development post-root? *I'm looking for Emulator problems, PATH problems, Compile issues etc...
3. Any gotchas I should be aware of as a vanilla app developer?
I've read several rooting guides and I don't think I see any conflicts, but I don't know everything... I just try to ask the right questions. Thanks for your time.
I have this same question (except I'm on Droid Incredible).

As a developer myself I do not see / have any issues developing with a rooted device. I actually prefer using rooted devices as it is easier to debug in my opinion and much quicker to perform tasks. As for your IDE + ADB and other tools, they will not be affected unless you have VERY specific setups with your devices. I have never heard of any issues, so best of luck and if you have questions feel free to PM
Thanks for the reply...
On to rooting I guess ... worst case; I just bang my head on the wall for a few hours getting the environment back to where she likes my code.
Hello! I am a new comer into the world of Android Development, I do have a begginer to intermediate Java knowledge, but no Android Development knowledge.
I am asking you for some good tutorials I can use to help myself, preferably newer ones. I found a few, but all of them were 2-4 years old. And other thing I noticed at them is they all use Eclipse. Is it a big difference if I use IntelliJ, it's the IDE I'm most familiar with and I find going back to Eclipse very annoying.
I want to start developing Andoid application because I have a few cools ideas (or at least I think they're cool) for some applications, as well as games. But I don't want to rush right inot making the game or such, I have all the time in the world to learn how to properly develop Android applications.
Thanks for reading!
Hello RoPirate
You say you already find a few tutorials, could you share them please, I'm a beginner please thanks
Tutorial
The New Boston mainly, ando ther very bad and unclear ones.
Right now I found teamtreehouse.com it's paid, but they explain everything really nicely and good, and update the tutorials with new tools when they come out. They also have iOS developemnt, web development, web design, Python and lots of other nice tutorials.
If you decide to get a subscription there (had some doubts at first too, but I definitely do not regret buying the subscription) and want to help me out a bit you can sign up on my referal link (PM me if you want)
I want to chime in a recommend the Codepath Android Cliffnotes set of guides. It's well built, and very useful.

When I started, I found vogella.com is a very useful resource. It's even easier to understand and implement than the official Android page.
In my experience, in general, it's easier to study somethings when you have to actually do things with an ultimate goal in mind than just learning for the sake of learning. For example, create a (simple) app that you will want to upload it to Google Play.

Hey dude I would recommend you to learn Android Java which of course is quite similar to C# of .NET which you can learn quickly.
There are many video tutorials like SlideNerd by Vivz https://www.youtube.com/user/slidenerd which is very very useful in learning android.
Also the mybringback by http://www.mybringback.com/series/android-basics which is also quite awesome.
There is also an App which I created for beginners like you "ON THE GO APIHelp" http://sourceforge.net/projects/onthegoapihelp/ which you can refer once you feel comfortable with Android Java which will give you a great kick start in developing basic applications.
All the Best for Beginning Android
Do Click on thanks if my reply helped you
For a newbie, I think to watch video is the proper way, but when you get some improvement you need turn to books and blogs.
