[Q] c2dm help

i've been looking for information about android c2dm for quite some time but only help i found was those few lines of source on official page
i'm relativley new to android so i have trouble understanding... i mean, i understand the code but i don't know how to make it work(it isnt as simple as just copy&paste)
so i'm asking if anyone here has any experience using android cloud to device messaging and could provide me with a small tutorial how to do it?
EDIT: also any article covering this theme would be of great help

Ready Made Andriod Apps

Hi Everyone,
Im new so go easy lol
Im wanting your help with regards to my thesis im doing at University. Im conducting an experiment with regards to people interacting with my andriod application. Its going to be the most simplistic application and probably only needs 1 button ie 'enter' and Im wanting to find out if there are any ready made andriod apps out there, fully sourced etc for editing and publishing... Or starter kits that input the code for you. I have no software dev experience and could use some help, as I say im just looking for a smal app with just one button that says "enter" really, but allows me to put a logo on... quite basic
If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.
Craig

Welcome to XDA
In the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) There are usually about 5-10 example apps for each version of Android (such as Android 2.2 or Android 3.0)
They are very simple, such as a notepad app, or a business card manager. And they are great ways to learn if you dissect them and poke around.
Have a look here to get started:

Good luck!

Thanks very much, thats really much appreciated

If your app is indeed that simple, private message me if you need something coded.

[HELP] Weather app

Can you help me to make a android app? I imagined how it would look. But my problem is java, on my part I do not understand how it works, and I would not understand. Thanks in advance!

If you get stuck, then people will help but no one is going to do the full coding for you.

I don't mean to write all code for me, I mean to help me with giving some good tutorials. :crying:

Just start learning Java. If you google "java tutorial" you'll find thousands result.
Or borrow a book in your library abaout java.
After learning java you can go threw http://d.android.com/training/

[Q] Android App: create twitter feed platform

I am interested in creating and android based app where short posts like twitter can be shared with a group of people who has that app. So for example if 10 people have this app and one of them decided to create a post and share it then all the other 9 people should be able to see it in there feed. I am new to app development and was hoping I can get some kind of guidance from here as to where to start. I am not sure what kind of platform or technology is used in facebook and twitter for this specific purpose but I would like a similar setup. I really appreciate any help or guidance to help me get started and thanks in advance.

Google Cloud Messaging might be helpful in that case: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html
I'd, however, suggest to create some easier apps first, just for learning. Keep in mind, a twitter clone is a big and difficult project.

Smaller project
I would like to start from a smaller project but not sure about this area at all. I was thinking to just create a small app first where I create a post and it appears on the other end. Any ideas as how to go about it? thank you for your help.

I don't know how to do that as I've never really been interested in networking. I'd suggest to do something without networking as your first application to get used to Android's UI elements and to Android code in general.
As soon as you understood that you can do as much networking as you want but I would start with something that is easier. (A calculator is a typical beginner project. )

i ll give the example of Facebook
there
newsfeeds run on Hadoop
messages are on nosql not sure about this
all the searches you perform on the new graph interface (exculding those on messages) are through FQL
its a language of their own Facebook Query Language
Python is the backbone of it all, chief scripting language on thier server
of course the webinterface you see is php and javascript
........ this much only i know
but there are a few more
as u can see there's more to it than it seems to be so starting with such a thing won't be a wise decision !
"no hill too high to climb" - proceed this project if you really want to !
