I come from years of Symbian PDA owning/development, and I had several languages available, besides C++: OPL (Basic-like), PersonalJava, J2ME, MidletPascal, Python, Jython, m-Shell... all of them for FREE!
What are the alternatives on a WM machine? Can I only develop in C++, or have I some FREE alternatives?
do you mean languages or programming envioments ?
embedded visual studio is free if you mean envioments

both.
I just found info about the embedded visual studio you talk about. I see c++ allows API access,but VB cannot. Any workaround?
I also found WABA and EWE: for the first, site states "you can write native code by modifing WABA sources"; I guess it means writing additional C++ code?
for the second, it says it allows accessing native functions: does it mean you can use EWE to start/receive calls, send/receive SMS, access COM port,...?
The following languages/interpreters are used nicely on HTC Typhoon:
1. Jython 2.2 for Java 1.1.8 SE (along with Personal Java CE 1.1 and the JDK runtime/library);
2. Perl CE 5.8.0 from the Rainer-Keuchel portings;
3. nScriptm HPCARM 0.104 by Nakka/ S/K;
4. Rebol CE 1.5.5 by Carl Sassenrath.
An advanced application manager such as SPHelper is needed to solve the pointing device stuff ...
There is a Smartphone patch for Python CE from one of the developers at SF.net released in March I did not try yet, (perhaps someone interested will) ...

thanks, that's very interesting, especially Jython: Is Java 1.1.8 supported by all HTC devices?
Yupp, it sure is ... but Sun Microsystems stopped releasing it alltogether to the end user, R.I.P Personal Java (this was the actual compatibility with CE) ...

that blog is just the reason for which I asked about PersonalJava compatibility
I use PJ compatible PDAs since several years (SonyEricsson p800, Motorola a1000...), and I'd like to continue being able to use PJ applications even when I'll pass to Windows PDA!
I guess you can add Python CE v2.5 to that list as well now ...
It`ll be working fine on every single WM version existing, although I did not test`em all:

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

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
Hi All,
I am a Software developer(Database Developer) and now i want to dabble in Android app making.
What are the necessary softwares required and programming language.
Please provide me the links for download too.I am on windows 8 pc 32 bit.
PS:I know the basics of Core Java with syntax and can write small programmes like Add,Subtract,Etc:laugh:
There are active threads about IDEs in this subforum ("IDE of choice for newcommers" for instance). I would recommend downloading Eclipse with the Android Development Tools directly from
developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This package comes with a full Eclipse IDE, which provides the Android SDK including the build tools for Android. For me that has been everything necessary for developing for Android.
I suggest to you to use Android Studio, it is getting an Android Standard.
If you are more familiar with Eclipse you can start with it, but then you should move to Android Studio.
As AVD (Android Emulator) you can use the integrated emulator or use genymotion, that is much faster!
Just download the ADT from Google, it has the SDK and Eclipse in one package.
Hi for a pretty simple way to query databases and display you could have a look at GoAppzone, using the developer notes you can write a functioning app that can query write and delete, to Oracle, MySQL, SQL and OBDC databases,
You can test it out on your phone using Go Appzone showtime. Only downside is you have to pay for the ability to publish apps, The upside is that you can deploy them on all the major phone operating systems, without having to alter your code.
You can also try Unity3D - for a trial run. Unity has the possibility to publish your apps to Android, iOS, etc

Yep, Unity3d for Mobile is Free, you can publish on every mobile OS out there.

In my case I use Android Studio for Apps Development .It is very good as easy to use.You should download it from http://tools.android.com instead of http://developers.android.com. Current Release is 1.0 RC2 in canary channel. It also have SDK inbuilt. You should have JDK installed and JAVA_HOME defined.
Basic Java and Android Documentation is enough but if you want to use native code you may install NDK.
Unity is only needed for Game Development I use Unity free and my basic knowledge of C# for game development.

With release of Android Studio RC2 I don't think ADT will be preferred.Google itself is promoting Android Studio and now it have offline maven repository.Gradle plugin is 1.0 RC1 and studio is very stable now.

He is asking for Apps Development and Unity is a game engine and only needed for game development.Anyway Unity free is enough for learning as a beginner is not going to use its pro functions like linear lighting.
just SDK(has Eclipse) and NDK from android official site and Java sdk(jre)
Hello
Necessary IDE are Android Studio or Eclipse (with Android SDK). Language (native) is java.
Just download the Android Studio bundle from Google. You will get the IDE and the latest SDK you need to start off. You also need to download the latest JDK as the native language to code is Java here.
You may need to use Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to design icons or other app graphics as needed.
If you have to develop a videogame, use ide like Unity, it is the best way to begin
