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] Stock ROM Virtual Machine?

Hey all, I am in the process of trying my hand at making some ADW themes.
I would like to see if I can get an image that has the market available with internet that works so I can do some testing.
Anyone got a link to something that I can import into the android SDK that will help with testing, or even a guide so I can learn to do it myself?
This sounds invaluable. I would also like to know if anything like this is floating around.

Why do you need market in the virtual device? Just adb install your apk...

If I could figure out how to do it with Eclipse and the ADK I would have done it already.
I can get the compiled APK on the virtual device but I need to have ADW installed as well to test out the theme.
Sadly I don't have a ton of time to invest and would like to not have to learn too many things BEFORE I do what I intend to do.

[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.

coding on the device

Greeting,
Just got a new A500 device, very like it, Want to do some program coding, But do not have any experiences on this,
is that possible I can use this device directly coding? if yes, can someone provide step by step guide to do it?
Thanks

No. You still need Windows/Linux/Mac with the SDK installed.

Unfortunately there is a bug with the windows sdk that makes developing on some phones a pain in the a##, because it fails to connect to the phone so you can't deploy your app to test it (could be ok with the a500 - I haven't tried in windows). I would suggest you install linux on a vm and use that instead. There is no need for drivers with linux and everything works flawlessly. I'm not trying to "convert" you into using linux or anything - the bug is Google's fault (not MS) and they are aware of it but don't seem to care. I installed a linux vm just for developement and use windows for everything else that can't be done on the iconia.

Linux OS for a new user

Hello users,
This question may be offtopic here, but i need your kind suggestions. I am now going to reinstall an operating system in my computer.
I had Windows 10 earlier. Now I am thinking to use Linux. I have not used it before so I have a few doubts.
Will it be difficult to use and understand Linux?
Will Linux be faster than Winodows 10?
Thanks

Definitely try it. You can also install it for dual-boot purposes.
