What is the best program to use to start creating apps for android if you are a beginner? I tried Appsbar, but it won't let you insert ads.

If you're new to programming in general, try App Inventor;

Not sure if you can do Ads or not.

Well, you can't do ads in AppInventor. Haven't tried Appsbar yet.

And you can't post to market from app inventor.
Thanks for trying though.
Any other suggestions?

I don't know of any tool other than appinventor that lets you create apps without getting down and dirty with the java code. If you're serious about developing android apps you need to bite the bullet and learn java and then pick an IDE and work thru some tutorials.
Two popular IDE's are Eclipse;
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
and Intellij;
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
You can find directions for setting up Eclipse on my blog linked below.

android app developer
it is damn easy man,
using Social Media Marketing,Use Your Own Mobile Site,Endorsements,Get Your Users To Rate Your App,Make Your App Buzz-Worthy!

I often review Android apps on my site called www.appdigy.com
I doubt you will get a MASSIVE increase in downloads but a small bump might be possible.

Marketing Your Apps
ASO - App Store Optimization is the art and science of increasing apps tore downloads organically. Here are the tools and steps you can use (in order) SOCIAL MEDIA -->> YOUR VIDEOS --->> YOUR WEBSITE --->> YOUR BLOG --->>SEARCH ENGINES and then to --->>> THE APP STORE.
You can ask me more about how it is done! I am glad to be of help

Social media is the way
I agree with LoganTJM
Virosis on Google Play by Slide Games

At google+, search "Android", then post your app on those communities and try to get people download it.

1. Java.
2. Official Docs.
3. StackOverflow.
4. Google.
Good luck!

I've always said anybody can learn to program... once people find that out i'll be out of a job
Google has some good documentation on getting started:
developer.android.com/about/start.html
I'd also recommend finding a good 'learn to program android' website and work through the tutorials (there are quite a few).
Have Fun!

It will not work with c++. Better you start learning java and xml and devlop simple apps. Java will be used to implement logical part in your app, XMl will be used for designing your application.

It can't hurt to learn C++, its a great language to pick up on. But if your looking to make android apps/games I would suggest Java, it can be used on so many platforms and is a big "all around" language. Good luck!

I'm in the same situation as thread starter and after weeks of trying to come to a conclusion I still haven't landed on a decision.
20 years ago I used to program in basic and was quite good at it, then career choice and personal life took over and I haven't programmed since. With the possibilities that Android gives I want to get back into programming to make some job related apps on my spare time, now fairly well what the end result should be, but to get there is another thing.
I see you mention Java and that is the one language I have scrapped during my research due to all the security issues with the language the last couple of years, could anyone or yourself please elaborate on why Java is a good choice, besides "all around" language?
Forgive the n00b-ish question, but we all have to start somewhere.

at least some of them) for now you can also code your apps in c++, c# or even javascirpt. But i believe java is the most documented language for desining android applications.

Learn Java first. That's the best one to develop apps for Android. Though you can always use c++ via ports available or c++ with qt.
Also I would suggest you to use Eclipse as the IDE because Android Studio is quite buggy and for the most time you will be just resolving issues with it.
For learning, android developer is the best source also you can refer to kilo bolt. It had good tutorials on Android and Java.

You could probably just use Google and find some tutorials on how to get started, its always hard getting started but you'll get there. By the way its "know" instead of "no"

Hey,
To start with you need to Learn Java. All (mostly) android apps are written in Java.
You need an IDE. Eclipse (or) Android Studio is Recommended
If using Eclipse, You need the Android SDK and ADT Bundle
Then You need Google and StackOverflow for all your doubts and problems
And last, You need some awesome Ideas to make some great apps
So, Good Luck and All the best ! Hope to see your apps soon ... ! :good:

thanks friends for your suggetions:thumbup:

I have seen this presentation were someone can make Android apps really fast. Don't even think you need programming skills and you can make as many apps as you want. Maybe this is helpfull for you...
Android App Maker

You can start by downloading the ADT Bundle from official Android page.
Then start some kind of Hello World program and learn about activity life cycle.
When I start I found Vogella page very helpful for newbie Android developer, you can have a look there too.

First thing: You don't want to code a game, you want to learn java.
Second: Check out the million of Tutorials in the web, ask here if you have a specific question.

I'd love to learn how to make a game for Android. Already made one app already but not sure where to start for Android game development

Head to w w w . kilobolt . com (sorry, can't post links yet), there you will find a nice tutorial about Java basics and game development with LibGDX. Based on my experience it is a good start atleast, from there it is up to you.
Have fun! ^^

are there any essential differences between the andengine and kilobolt etc?

If you want to develop Games for Android, have a look on different GameFrameworks (For example LibGDX or GameClosure). Then look for Tutorials for the framework So you can simply learn how to create games.
Greetz

There are many frameworks to develope games (libgdx, unity, corona).
The difficult is understand the differences and what is the better to use ...

A very good language for beginners is basic4android. There is a free version of the development IDE and a lot of "easy to understand" examples.

Try Construct 2, its mostly visual.

I think, you can try using Unity Engine. There are a lot of tutorials, video lessons and other information about it. You can download ready game and learn it part by part. I can send you some useful links if you want.

What r u waiting for just send me links

Use Unity, you can learn it easy because internet is full of Unity tutorials.
