[Q] Start programming for android - Android Software Development

Hi ,
I want to start writing applications for android but I don`t have any experience with java programing or C++. would you tell me how could I start? for example, any special book or website which contains tutorials from the very first steps?

This will probably be the most helpful book you can get - http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/android-application-development-for-dummies-cheat-.html
I've also uploaded a few of my university lectures on Java, along with some android tutorials as well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854462
Hope this helps

HOWTO start MIDP Application development - some questions ..

Hey guys,
Currently I am Java programmer (applications and applets for PCs), but I want to try something new, and so I am instersted in developing apps for cellphones. Hope you can answer my questions:
1) MIDP 2.0 does support animated gifs and allows me to access the phones memory (for loading files) when the phone supports this, right? Whats the name of the API that allows me to access the phones memory?
2) Whats the best free development platform for MIDP 2.0 at the moment? Currently I use Eclipse, but I guess I need something else for mobile development.
3) Are there any websites with tutorials that give me a lil introduction to MIDP? Any links are welcome.
Just started to look at this myself, though not fully understanding it yet, managed to get a MIDP helloworld class compiled and .jar created just using javac / command line so far, but haven't managed to get it working on the device yet, need to look into preverifying so i'm told.
2) J2ME toolkit perhaps, free with registration on java.sun.com, explanation of it is in the link in reply (3), might be worth a look first to see if it's what you're after.
3) http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/ce/networking/article.php/c7911/
If anyone has any further info, please respond.

Programming Environment Please

Hi folks.
I'm a VB6 programmer and I have to develop an app for the XDA as part of a large project in which I am involved. I have read that embedded vb is available but could do with step by step directions to the essential tools necessary to allow vb6 development for this.
I can not seem to find a microsoft download for embedded VB6 though the C++ one is readily available and I have downloaded the pocket pc sdk. A little guidance would be most appreciated.
Many thanks

Feedback required : Interactive way to learn Android using Eclipse plugin

Hi,
I am part of Codelearn.org.
We have created an interactive Android Tutorial where you learn android online, do it in your Eclipse IDE and a plugin which tests your progress and helps you with non-trivial errors .
I would love to have feedback from you guys over how helpful it is for a newbie or a person who wants to brush up his concepts.
You can try it here at codelearn.org/android-tutorial

From the beginning ?

Hello
I want to learn how to develop an Android app
From where i can start ? I don't know anything about jave or anything like that
So start learning java. You can start with codeacademy.com , if you want book try 'Thinking in Java' by Bruce Eckel or easier 'Head First Java' . But if you want to learn coding, there is no better way than just to write code when you learn basics, try to write calculator, currency exchange app etc.
After learning java basics , you can start developing eaaaasy apps on android. Follow tutorials from developers.android.com ; vogella.com ; yt channel 'the new bostons'.
Good luck
