Hi All,
We've just released MoSync Android C/C++ SDK, so now its possible to program Android in C++ without the hassle of using the NDK, no more messing around with interfacing to Java.
We are an open source project, so we would really appreciate all the feedback you can give us.
You can get it at mosync.com
Thanks

Any chance someone can give me some information on how to get started. I'd like to start looking at developing software for the XDA II but don't know where to start.

Thanks alot, is there any real programming knowledge required or is it pretty intuitive?
Any help is much appreciated

Downloaded the eVC++ 4.0 and it's asking for serial details but I didn't see a Buy Now or anything. Do I have to register, is this free or do I have to pay?

for eVC++ 4.0, use this serial:
TRT7H-KD36T-FRH8D-6QH8P-VFJHQ
its FREE, but needs a serial :wink:

if you never programmed before then vc++ will have a steeper learning curve then vb
but imho then programming is never truly intuitive
I've done web design and VB programming before and found both to be easier when using a little common sense
Thanks alot for all your help, keep anything coming that you think will be useful, it's much appreciated

visual studio can make vb applications for pocketpc i seem to recall
it cant make c++ or c# applications for pocketpc not sure why
if you want to make thos you need embedded vc++
All,
I've heard a few people around here saying that they develop in raw C so the don't have the MFC stuff to worry about. Can anyone tell me what compiler they used to compile raw C to work on Pocket PC or does eVC4 do it
http://mifki.ru/pocketgcc/down.html
gcc for pocketpc it's not raw c but i suppose you could call it raw c++
you also got the option of programming using .net from c# and c++ and vb if you dont like mfc (which many people dont)
True, but going down the .net route means forking out more money than I care to for a hobby.
Hi there,
I'd like to do some Windows Mobile development but, quite frankly, I do not have the time or energy to learn Visual C++.
I'm good with Perl, PHP and Visual Basic and au fait with Windows Mobile - so the concepts of development on this platform aren't an issue. It's just simply a case of learning C++ does not fill me with any kind of excitement.
I looked at eVB, but its ancient and lacking in many respects. I thought about Visual Basic .NET but there appears to be no documentation around - you can't even buy a book on Windows Mobile development with it.
Any suggestions on something I can use which doesn't have a steep learning curve and allows me to get on writing useful things without spending the next 2 years learning dull stuff?
Thanks.
any of the c languages would be the best as they are native to winmo. you can use vb.net and it will work just fine. i have developed a few simple apps with vb.net and am working on one now i hope to release on here when i am finished. i am in the process of furthering my knowledge of vb.net and also learning asp.net, ado.net and c++ so i am very busy with programming. i would recommend learning one of the c languages if you really want to get in depth with winmo programming but like i said vb.net will work just wont be the best.
ps if you are comfortable with vb.net learning c++ should not be that difficult for you.
When you're using .net it doesn't matter if you use vb.net, visual c++ or any other .net language because eventually you'll end op with MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language). All .net languages are equally fast (except vb.net when you use the old visual basic namespace, so don't use it!)
"Visual Basic .NET"
.net compact framework is pretty well documented
come to think of it all msdn's examples are first vb.net
then c#.net and then c++.net and maybe j# or jscript.net
so plenty of documentation in that department
c# is not that hard if you know java it's much of the same
but if what you wanna do is pretty "basic" then mortscripts goes along way
Hi all,
Anyone know of a forum where I can learn how to develop apps for personal use
for my HD2 using vb.net and Visual Studio Pro 2008?
As far as I understand my HD2 won't run windows phone 7.
And only windows mobile 6.5 and before etc.
I'm hoping to find more than the beginners guide to "Hello World".
VS2008Pro is a bit flaky and crashes when I run the app from the development environment and then attempt to move a control in the development environment.
And I can't find how to force my personal app into landscape only. etc.
I've been looking thru all kinds of sites and searches and code for the last couple of weeks. So I know pretty much what I want and can't find.
I've spent a day or two on C#.net(?) code trying to convert some to vb.net
Just torture.
Even some vb.net code examples won't run and I think some well intended C .net developers are forcing VB.net to do c .net coding.
Which is hard enough as it is.
I'd sincerely appreciate any positive constructive suggestions.
Keeping my fingers crossed trying to find like minded vb.net 2008 pro developers.
Thanks and all my best to everyone.
Welcome
I want to explain here shortly what is NDK ?
NDK stands for Native Development Kit. It is a good tool which enables you to use native languages like c/c++ in your apps besides android development code in java.
You may ask why i should this tool and write code in hard languages like c++ ?
Well, actually c++ is more complex than android code with java but it is very helpful in some apps like games
Especially, if you are ios and android developer and want to make a game, you will develope it for android by java then you will develope it by xcode and objective c for ios.
But if you made it by c++ using NDK, you will almostly use the same code in ios version and maybe make a little tweaks, so you will save a lot of time :good:
So it is very useful and time saver for apps will be made for ios and android platforms.
For more information about that, check android website by google for NDK and many other resources
Thanks for reading
........ and to think I thought NDK was the spark plugs you add to the development kit...... to give your work some Zing !
Do I need to learn Java to program in Android Studio? Or I can just jump straight into it? If I must learn it, can u guys show me a great way of learning Java? (I have a Pascal basic BTW).
You definitely must. Java is the main language for android development and without knowing it you can't do anything advanced.
To start learning you can use docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/. But learning is nothing without practice so start your own project and use Java in it. It's relatively easy language so you can start quickly.

You are welcome. To be honest I don't know any video tutorial and personally I think the best way to learn programming is practice. So just use any Vogella's tutors and code your apps but always try to make them more complex.
Java is important for Android studio
Yes, you need to learn Java properly before visiting android studio.
Because Java is key to do programming in android studio for Android developers.

I learned from a YouTube series called "mybringback" 5 years ago. It's still a good place to start. Also, a great website that interactively teaches you to code is Codecademy.com. They are mainly a web-development website, but recently added java to their courses. It may be worth trying as well.
Root it and boot it!

I have collected many good tutorials for Java and Android here.
Hope it helps
It best to learn Java, but today you can also use Xamarin to develop cross platform apps using .net (Visual Studio 2015).
java is main language to android studio
if you are using android studio, Java is a must. But you don't have to learn core java, you can just jump in to android programming, coz there are lots of different library there.
i would suggest using android studio instead of others, beside they are free, they are directly from google
Yes, java is must in order to develop android apps. Android virtual machine runs java codes. So android apps needs to be in java.
Now a days, there are so many frameworks and tools available which allow you to develop android apps in other languages and convert the apps developed in other languages to java code to deploy and run on android.
I think it is a good idea to directly code in java as you can easily understand concepts involved in android os and develop apps that perform well proving best user experience.. It is not difficult to learn java and android framework to develop android apps.
As others have pointed out, yes you must. However, if you have Pascal/Delphi background, that helps a lot! So loops/ifs/functions are no stranger to you. You "only" need to learn about classes, interfaces and such stuff, not very hard.
Luckily for you, there's literally thousands of Java tutorials, books, videos, anything you can think of. I always like to stick with books from respected authors and/or the language authors. So for Java, I'd go with https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/index.html (just an example, there's tens of other valuable books/tutorials).
