I am trying to learn how to write android applications so that I can make my own for classes and such. Do any of you bright minds have any suggestions on where to go to get some really good tutorials/reading material? I really appreciate it.
I've already gone through a few of the tutorials on the official android website, but I don't fully understand some of it.
Have you seen www.helloandroid.com ?

If you don't know ... here is the official XDA Developers Android app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657860
It is very nice app to browse and interact with XDA dev forums.
Created by TapaTalk (Thanks for this!).
Thanks for the heads up!
really nice the only thing that annoys me that sometimes you cant click on a link
What I miss is that I can't go directly into specific forum (like HTC Desire). Or is it actually possible, but I just don't see how?
Yupe, that feature is missing ... they said that they will add it.
Hopefully very soon.
Oh btw, I like this app because it is "AMOLED friendly" app
The background is black! Save battery a lot compare to using web browser.

If you are in college, check the on-campus bookstore. Apparently Arkansas Tech University has a class on making android applications I can't wait to take it!

I have been going through the "Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours." It's pretty good so far. I would be interesting in hearing what other books people are using and what they think of it.
Try...
Professional Android 2 Application Development

I, and others, have found it to be very good.
Good luck...

Appreciate it did you have any experience before reading that book? It sound like its for users that already have a feel for developing apps but I'm still about to read it and try to figure it out thanks for the suggestion and luck

I highly recommend http://www.commonsware.com
Mark Murphy posts on StackOverflow and the Android Developer discussion every day - I started by buying his book Beginning Android 2 for $39.95 at Barnes and Nobles and then found out that for the same $40 I could get 3 books at commonsware .com and get free updates for a year.
First of all forgive my naivety. I have just bought a desire z. Could someone tell me the real world benefits of rooting my phone?
Well you can unlock your phone to work with other gsm network. You can load many unique roms like CM7, Sense gingerbread, Miui... Etc.

I previously had an HD2 and spent ages with that, flashing new roms etc. I understood the point of that as WM was a pretty poor OS. However with Android I'm not sure if there is any point in real terms.

Thanks for that, have read the article which was very good. I couldn't find any good reason to root my phone, so maybe it's just something that's not for me.

Rooting has lots of great benifits. You can flash amazing OS and experience the full developer experience on your device. Wifi Tether for those who want to shoot Wifi from there phone with no charge. Great customization choices when you pick a ROM that allows it. And you can even increase the value of your phone when resale comes up in the future. The root method is a little complicated but it will be worth it when your done. Better your device for your liking and have fun doing it of course! Hope I helped

Go to http://lmgtfy.com/ and enter your keywords. Then click on search and it will create your link.
Well, I never read Head First Android Development, I read Head First Java. So I have always recommended the Java book, not the Android one. (That doesn't mean that it is bad. The concept should be the same. )
Do you like it?
