Hi everyone, apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this.
I just landed a nexus 10 and wanted to know if anyone would be interested in working together on an application. I run an art studio and essentially need an application that would tie all my departments together (gallery, enrollment, studio, etc) so that all departments could see the same relevant information across one app. For anyone interested I can go into greater detail. This would initially be more proof of concept and perhaps an opportunity for new developers to learn.
There's a possibility in the future this will be implemented across nexus devices in the studio for which my goal is to naturally pay the developers for their hard work. As it stands this is a personal effort on my end to see if we can work together and learn. Thanks everyone!

I currently have a conceptualized android application and am now accepting requests from developers. I cannot discuss to much about the app but it does do some pretty revolutionary things and utilizes parts of the phone that other apps haven't.
What we are looking for:
Someone who is willing to see the project through, and someone who is willing to do this project in a timely concise manner.
Someone who like a challenge.
Someone who is willing to do this for free to gain experience or broaden their portfolio.
If you are interested in learning more about this app or want to start building it please email me
Do you have any technical background at all?
Also, there's a very high chance it has been done already.
so this guy doesn't get smashed with the spam comments? go figure.
hiya there, im a complete noob to the developing software, well android for that matter. i see post after post of people developing and i just want to learn how to do it myself. you always appreciate things more if you know how they developed and the hard work gone in to them.
so please share the developing love and share your knowledge.
also are there any books available that may help?
many thanks
If you don't know java, you need to learn that first. There's always a dozen or so threads here every week with someone wanting to know where to start. So look at one of those for suggestions on websites and java books.
If you already know java, then go to the link below and read everything and work thru the tutorials.

Most people use Eclipse as the development tool. You can find some information on setting up Eclipse in my blog.

thank you buddy just wanting to contribute to the android world
If eclipse isnt your cup of tea then try Intellij. I find it much better than eclipse. The code completion, generation and analysis is top notch
From something awesome
Cheers I will try that out

I would recommend starting with Android App Inventor.
It's a relatively simple way for non devs to get started developing for Android.
I have decades of dev experience but a few months ago I was new to Android, and pretty new to Java,
AI allowed me to quickly jump into Android dev.
Unfortunately it's difficult to make a professional app using AI, so now I use the SDK and NDK, but much of what I learned in AI was transferable to the SDK/NDK environment.
Also, look at Droid Draw. It lets you drag and drop objects to create relatively simple apps. The advantage is that you can then review the java and xml files (the code behind what you created) that Droid Draw generates. There are different ways to learn...I like the "by example" way.
Hi,
I am creating a core team of three for a concept for which the initial corporate funding of $350000 (not much, I agree) is committed. I (even the investor) strongly believe this concept could make a difference and is inviting two more rockstar android developers to join me..
the location of the startup will be Bangalore, India. Pls ping me on [email protected] if you are interested.. thanks
It would probably help if you said what the project even is
I agree, maybe you dont have to tell us exactly what the concept is but just what skills are required etc.
Thanks for the reply,
The broad concept I was pitching in is on the Mobile protection, but the approach to this is different from the current crop of antiviruses or Data backup solutions.. the funding entity is a leader in providing enterprise security and they will provide the expertise in that field.. The one that I am looking forward would have exceptional android app development experience/skills who could drive the on device app vision. Hope this helps..
I would offer my services up (and actually wouldn't mind working for very little or no money just to get more experience), but I am still learning. I can develop apps on the computer in Java pretty well, so I guess that helps, but I still am getting used to the different style and classes offered by the Android API/SDK. If you need a hand and seriously dont have money to waste, I can try my hand at it, but I would rather practice coding lots of smaller apps first and then maybe offer it again.
Should i PM you if I feel like I've gotten my hand wrapped around this SDK/API?
Thanks Johnson, we could explore your proposition once we have a core team in place

Hi everyone! I am currently a student going into my senior year of my bachelors in computer science. Over the years I have wanted to get into android os development but just never seemed to know where to start with it. I have a very strong programming background of C++, php, some javascript, actionscript, visual basic (and .net), and a handful of others too.
Does anyone have any good resources in getting started with things? Or even better yet, would anyone be willing to sit down over skype or the like and have a chat and tutor/teaching sessions with me?
Thanks in advance for any of your guys help, it will be very much appreciated.

Welcome to the game
IMO you probably won't find someone willing to sit down and teach you this stuff. It's kind of a learn as you go thing for most of us, and for others they won't even post on these forums until they've mastered coding lol.
I'm a noob myself, and certainly not a programmer. I came on here not knowing much, but then started learning very specific things for my particular phone. That's where you should start. Learn everything there is to know about your phone and start making apps/roms just for your device. You certainly need to know, and understand, the build numbers for these phones and realize that not every ROM, modem, kernel, etc. is compatible with all phones.
There aren't too many resources other than the required tools... for example, if you don't have the Google Android SDK bundle then you need to get it. You need the AVD Emulator for app emulation unless you're going to test everything on your own device. If you're looking for a relatively easy way to compile a ROM into a ZIP so it's working and flashable to your phone then there are Android "kitchens" that will do that for you. They themselves require their own tools to work, but they're pretty straight forward.
This particular kitchen by dsixda works well, even though it says it's not being updated anymore. It supposedly works for all GS4 variants, but I have personally confirmed that it works for the GS4 jfltespr variant by Sprint.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
If you use that and follow the instructions, you can decompile a base ROM to work with it and see how everything is set up, add or tweak a few things as you like, recompile it back to a ZIP and then flash it to your phone and see it in action.
Good luck.
I would LOVE to see a kitchen on android itself

My one piece of advice here - because Android development is so multifaceted that there are any number of ways to start, and if you're down in the platform, often you need to know a lot to be productive:
If you want to play in kernel space, I suggest playing with some microcontroller development boards, like AVR. Arduino hardware is great, but the Arduino IDE does too much handholding. Take a more "down to the metal" approach like using AVR-GCC to target Arduino hardware. This teaches you how to think about voltages, currents, drive conflicts (pushing and pulling a bus at the same time is Bad), etc.
Oh yeah, and grep is your friend.
Hi Guys
So I am quite familiar with the world of android, having been a user across all versions since froyo.
I have a few different idea's for applications, which I think could be moneymakers! that said, I actually need to learn the development side of android.
Currently I can do reasonable "basic" projects in vb.net 2010, written a few applications, but from what I gather, you cant use VB.NET in android.
I don't have the "capital" to invest in a course, so I am looking for free alternatives, which could give me a leg up!
I have so far programmed in WYSIWYG on .NET2010, so would be ever grateful if you can point me in a real "idiot proof" tutorials and education course!
