Hey all,
I was wondering if you folks could point me in the direction of where to go to learn how to start coding Android?
I consider myself pretty smart when it comes to techie stuff, but programming was never a direction I took.
Now that I am back in school I would like to take some classes to get into this. Any suggestions of the right direction to go to get started? My goal is to start writing apps and maybe have my own custom Rom you all can critique thx

I have an idea for android that could potentially make me millions. However I currently have no experience in coding anything besides basic html templates. Would reading android development for dummies be a good place to start? How complicated is android development?

Picking up a Java Programming for Dummies would also be a good start. The Android Dev site has some good resources aswell, check it out.
I have no knowledge of coding java or android based programs. The official Android development site is kind of complicated. For someone like me I need very clear walkthroughs of the basics until I get the hang of things. Can anyone give me advice or lead me to the right place?
I started off using Greenfoot back when I was a wee little lad. It's probably the most simple way to get into Java and Java concepts.

There is an program currently in beta called App Inventor for people that have Little to no experience with coding. You might want to look into that.

Is that an application, or a better book than the dummies one?

Im interested in learning how to create my own builds using all the necessary tools. I know it wont be easy and will take a lot of time but you have to start sometime! So I was wondering where I can start and if anyone can point me in the right direction. (I know it will take a good knowledge in Linux code and programming.)

Im thinking about starting a new thread in development section. With every ROM KERNEL and MODEM. All always up to date. Im on xda everyday, so wouldnt be hard. I will update everyday when I get home from work. And try to make it well organized. Does anyone support this? Or should I not?

I wish you would do this in the Wiki instead. And by doing that you could also get help because anyone could update the wiki. I tried but it takes alot of effort and time is limited.

Wiki?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, the "WIKI" right below the xdadevelopers logo in the upper left hand corner of this webpage. It's there I promise. Check it out it is pretty cool.
I too would like what you suggest.
Yeah I would love to see an updated directory. Wiki is cool, too.
Okay, I have been around the forums and contributed to roms here and there. I am wanting to learn more development. The mods I have made have had there place but I want to build my own rom for both my own personal use, and to share with the community.
That being said, I have a lot to learn. I am looking for a dev who is willing to conspire on a little project I want to do. Help me learn the things I need to know to finish this project I have started. I will not attempt to take full credit for what comes of this. Proper credit will be given to those who assist. Especially being I am lacking a lot of knowledge.
If anyone is interested, please pm me. If not, I'm sure in due time I will figure it out. I would appreciate any help that anyone is willing to provide. Thank you to our great devs for keeping our devices alive for so long! I am hoping to contribute to the longevity of our devices as well!

I'd love to start learning, but seems every time I ask about where to start I get either ignored or told to use Google. Lol
I've got lots of windows knowledge, training, etc. But Linux is like a foreign language.
Where can I look to start playing other than a kitchen, that's not development.

Check out google aosp ans github and tge google android developers site. Read some of the guides on here. Start small...work on theming an apk...then modding apks...then system mods...then go to roms. If ur looking for apk dev tgen tgere are sites to help but a lot of that takes a ton of reading with trial and error

:what: lol thanks
I didn't think I was going to read a few paragraphs an be able to build a rom. I took 2 years of c++ and Java, I know how much a hassle coding can be.
So many times I'd click compile and it'd throw 3000+ errors from a comma placement.
At least I got a direction. Thanks papa! I love your mighty smurf! It kicks ass

Okay, so my main issue is porting a tweaks apk into my rom. I need someone who is willing to collaborate with me on this project. Someone who knows smali and can not only assist but educate. All credit will be shared for the assistance provided. Who's willing to go to work? Will resume working on this project tomorrow night.
