There are loads of porting threads etc dependant on what device your looking to work on with regards to kernel development.
If its apps etc you wish to develop, do a quick google search and you should find links to eclipse dev enviroment the android adt and sdk

You can start at here: developer.android.com/index.html

Android SDK and Eclipse. That's about what you need.
You would probably need java knowledge too...
If you know any other programming language it should be really easy.

Try the guide here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html

I'm lost with the installation part. (have some background with other prog lang. but none with java) can anyone help me with this part? what is the needed apps and/or how to start this apps?

What part are you having trouble with? What OS are you running? I never could get windows7 to work right with java and eclipse.

Oh. Maybe thats why. Coz. Im using win7

What is Coz? Cousin?
Anyway, I set up a linux virtual machine using VMWare's VMPlayer--a scaled down free version of VM's Workstation. This runs pretty well under Win7 on my laptop. I still use my main linux box for development when available.

I recommend you use Linux 9.10
And download Android SDK android for Linux.

[Q] Anrdroid Emulator

Hi,
I'm trying to experiment with making my own build, but for the first instance I'm trying to gain an understanding of how everything is working by working with a current build.
I'm using eclipse in linux with the android sdk etc.
My question relates to running already prepared builds in the emulator. From what I understand in the sdk/platform folder I should be able to place the system.img file from a current build and run it on the emulator, however when I try this the emulator appears to freeze.
What am I doing wrong or missing?
Thanks in advance.

I think i"ll follow this thread pretty closely, i've been wanting to run android on win xp sp3, thru my sdk setup, and would like to know how to as well. Maybe somebody with the proper know-how will be generous enough to post a brief guide, enough to point us noobs in the right direction to get builds running on our pc's. I'd like to be able to use the sdk to troubleshoot, fiddle around, and test a few things out, among other things.
If some kind soul would be willing to post a couple of good links, i'd be willing to read up, give it a go, and do my best at making a guide/tut for running android in the sdk

Have you downloaded Eclipse? I can manage to run the SDK platform in the Android Emulator, but for some reason I'm having trouble with modified/custom Roms.

You want to download eclipse, then install the ADT, you'll find instructions on the android developers site under the SDK tab, enjoy.

Beginning to develop apps using Android Studio!

Hello all,
New to this community. Learning Android development with Android Studio, but with the tutorial that was developed on Eclipse. The tutorial which I am following is from developer.android.com, which is really fantastic, but the same thing when converted to Android Studio pops up errors. I have link to the project attached, could somebody advice me on whats wrong in this.
Thank you all.

Silly me. A typo in the package name created the problem. Thanks to all who viewed this post.

I was just wondering about that Android Studio... How is it compared to the ADT bundle?
I'm also new to development... Downloading things through SDK Manager as we speak as per the instructions from the Getting Started training on developer.android.com

Hi,
If you are new to development I recommend starting off with Android Studio, because that is going to be the future of Android development. But the programs as of now has some bugs, so when error pops up, it would make you think whether it is your code or the program.

Jolla Application Development

Hi Developers, or anyone just interested in Sailfish,
I figured that before the mods create a Sailfish App Development thread, we could post our successes, guides and tips here. I find Sailfish a wonderful platform to develop on so far
For starters, here's the beginner's guide to Sailfish app development:
What you need:
- Anything capable of Running code, the only OS the Sailfish IDE isn't compatible with is OS/2 and DOS
- The sailfish IDE, https://sailfishos.org/develop.html
- Virtualbox (just have it installed, the IDE will do its thing)
- Some programming knowledge is necessary, if you don't know QML, don't be too scared to dive in and learn things on the go, that's what I'm doing, you'll find Sailfish Silica (Sailfish "API") very simple and logical

If there's anything that needs to be added, tell me. Please share any ideas you come up with and especially any good beginner guides.

Thank you for this thread. Eager to see good native apps.

Yep, it's really simple and everything sets up automatically, you just fire up the IDE and code.
