Hello all I am currently in the process of learning the android os and am in need of a bit of help from you "Non-Android Noobs"
1.Would installation of the android sdk be the first step in my learning android process?
2.Installing Eclipse as per prerequisite in installing the Android sdk, so there are quite a few eclipse options to choose from. Which do I need?
Thx to all for any help.
EDIT: I actually just realised that I posted in the wrong place, mod pls move and sorry bout that
I use the 99m one,Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.
Maybe you need some books to find the detail.
I'm a beginner.
I found this searching the update,hopefully the devs will find this useful,if they haven't already seen this.... http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Hi,
I would like to test the roms I can find here, on an emulator.
for that, I will need something like the SDK for the Acer tablet A500.
(to build my AVD)
I can't find it. anyone have an idea where I can find it ?
thanks
Olivier

ah ah ah . so fun )
unfortunatly, it is not provided by google !
I know well the android SDK, I am talking about a small part which is sometime provided by constructor in order to help the developper to build application with android SDK.
for example, Sony provides the SDK part for some of its device. it has to be added to the android SDK.
I think it could comes from Acer, or developer who has it because they are working near or far from this (in the same way, the Leak comes from someone which is near from developer team)
I am still looking for that.
thanks
Olivier
Im totally confused as to what you are looking for.. If its reference sdk from acer . They have not provided this.. I think its something they provide to google then google adds it to the sdk. or acer will provide a repo to add to your sdk.
now here is what setup i have..
1 download the sdk tools from developer.android.com/sdk i think is the url (use search )
2. download eclipse (there is a link on the developer.android.com site)
3 download the correct FULL Java library abe sure to read the requirements on the version of eclipse you use for what jave version you need )
4 Read read READ .. Read the how to install sdk development environment in Eclipse for your EXACT OS . Pay close attention to every detail. like is is x86 x64 and so on.
5 Follow the instructions word for word on again the install and setup for android development platform for your OS Version.
This is what i use as well as CYGWIN (this is for advanced users) As well as there are other tools that make developing much easier. YES IM NEW TO all of this as well.But have learned alot over the last year.
The above only gets you ready. Once you get to this point . KEEP . WELL YOU KNOW THIS Part already KEEP READING.. in a few weeks you will on your way.
GOOD LUCK developer.android.com has everything your asking and beyond.
If any of the above is incorrect Blame it on developer.android.com or the mighty thor. god of the universe..
Hi, so tomorrow is Sunday and I am in the mood to write some cool programs for android devices. Please tell me all the tools I require and some reverse engineering ones too for copy pasting some cool things thx.
Here's a google doc a user called autom8r from reddit posted.
It's pretty useful and he goes through why he used everything. Credits to him not me.

EDIT: Well seen as I have less than 10 posts I can't post the link...
EDIT: Here's the link all truncated: ht[REMOVETHIS]tps://[REMOVETHIS]docs.google.co[ANDALSOREMOVETHIS]m/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aiakq5EFgZZTdGlmblFNMFZLN3huRnNUNzdkWDRoekE&output=html
Too many things to download ><" jdk eclipse adt blah blah no longer interested in android development
You just need Eclipse for JAVA developers, and Android SDK with ADT plugin. And if it you first application you must read the book like "Android development for 24 hours".
Can u please provide direct download links to those files. This eclipse has like 2820207328282626 versions and I get confused
On Android Developers there is a bundle package which contain sdk/eclipse/adt.

I Would not recommend you copying and pasting parts of other people's software. You will learn much more if you try to write it yourself.
For a lot of Android features there are open source libraries. Try them out, they may help you developing your app.

Hi All,
I am a Software developer(Database Developer) and now i want to dabble in Android app making.
What are the necessary softwares required and programming language.
Please provide me the links for download too.I am on windows 8 pc 32 bit.
PS:I know the basics of Core Java with syntax and can write small programmes like Add,Subtract,Etc:laugh:
There are active threads about IDEs in this subforum ("IDE of choice for newcommers" for instance). I would recommend downloading Eclipse with the Android Development Tools directly from
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This package comes with a full Eclipse IDE, which provides the Android SDK including the build tools for Android. For me that has been everything necessary for developing for Android.
I suggest to you to use Android Studio, it is getting an Android Standard.
If you are more familiar with Eclipse you can start with it, but then you should move to Android Studio.
As AVD (Android Emulator) you can use the integrated emulator or use genymotion, that is much faster!
Just download the ADT from Google, it has the SDK and Eclipse in one package.
Hi for a pretty simple way to query databases and display you could have a look at GoAppzone, using the developer notes you can write a functioning app that can query write and delete, to Oracle, MySQL, SQL and OBDC databases,
You can test it out on your phone using Go Appzone showtime. Only downside is you have to pay for the ability to publish apps, The upside is that you can deploy them on all the major phone operating systems, without having to alter your code.
You can also try Unity3D - for a trial run. Unity has the possibility to publish your apps to Android, iOS, etc

In my case I use Android Studio for Apps Development .It is very good as easy to use.You should download it from http://tools.android.com instead of http://developers.android.com. Current Release is 1.0 RC2 in canary channel. It also have SDK inbuilt. You should have JDK installed and JAVA_HOME defined.
Basic Java and Android Documentation is enough but if you want to use native code you may install NDK.
Unity is only needed for Game Development I use Unity free and my basic knowledge of C# for game development.

With release of Android Studio RC2 I don't think ADT will be preferred.Google itself is promoting Android Studio and now it have offline maven repository.Gradle plugin is 1.0 RC1 and studio is very stable now.

He is asking for Apps Development and Unity is a game engine and only needed for game development.Anyway Unity free is enough for learning as a beginner is not going to use its pro functions like linear lighting.
just SDK(has Eclipse) and NDK from android official site and Java sdk(jre)
Hello
Necessary IDE are Android Studio or Eclipse (with Android SDK). Language (native) is java.
Just download the Android Studio bundle from Google. You will get the IDE and the latest SDK you need to start off. You also need to download the latest JDK as the native language to code is Java here.
You may need to use Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to design icons or other app graphics as needed.
If you have to develop a videogame, use ide like Unity, it is the best way to begin
