Outside the official java tutorial site. I know that is the best site to learn java, but Ive tried and I cant keep up. It looked messy for me. So anyone got a site or a book which covers some moderate stuff? Im not looking for game development. Also, I've managed to make my own simple notepad app, from the exercise at google. So no "hello world" tutorials, please.

Me, too.
It's a great book.
If you're new to Java, I would highly recommend at least learning the basics of Java and OO before launching into Android dev. Mainly because with Android dev there are a lot more moving parts than just pure Java.
Haven't taken this course myself, but looking through the contents of the course it looks quite good. At the price of 'FREE' you can't go wrong! https://www.udemy.com/java-tutorial/
Once you're more familiar with Java, this is a good reference book: http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Java-Edition-Joshua-Bloch/dp/0321356683

Oh yeah, that makes sense! Seems like a stupid question now. I've always tended to avoid the tutorials from the actual vendors since they are typically the worst. I guess I sometimes forget they even exist...

i think if u have better foundation of c or c++ the learning lava will hardly take one month...
i will give my example i learnt c++ in my 12th standard...
then for developing android app i learnt java by myself without any tutorials or guides ,just used eclipse IDE and source codes of sample android app...
and now my android app is in playstore... and i made my app opensource and u can see my app in this thread..

Since you both recommend this book, I'll give it a try. I found 'Head First Java Second Edition' on Amazon. Seems like there are two different versions. Which did you guys read? Thanks for the help

I used the German edition of the book. I recommend to choose the second edition as it should contain information that is more up to date.

Well yeah you definitely need lots of stuff. Yes, stuff is very important and without stuff you will not be able to make your stuff.
Hope that helps.

the very basic ones "Programming and linux Knowledge"....if you got these, you are already 90% success....
Then,Linux operating system in your PC such as ubuntu,fedora or opensuse....
Kitchen...such as coffee shop....................
Again, Knowledge is important...It is not easy as you think,if you don't any Linux stuffs
well,I know that its not easy.
But I have plenty of time and I would like to have a try.so where can I find caffee shop for hd2 updated software?

All the best...wish someone can teach you...But please don't open another thread to ask for help....
This kind of threads already repeated many times...
the others are kinda saying that if you have to ask, then you just aren't ready to do it
its like asking someone about how to repair cars or build your first computer...no simple set of tools and a tutorial will get you anywhere

Hmm, I built my first computer by looking inside another one, wasn't hard at all.
nkos719, knowing how to search for information fast and efficiently is one of the most important assets of a developer. Make the search function your most important tool and you will progress fast.
I looked everywhere but the only tool I found was the Coffee Shop kitchen v1 but I cannot open the files included in the rar file.
That's because it only works on Linux systems..
If you do not have access to an Linux environment, better forget ROM development for Android.

Putting the hardware is the easy part! I was doing that for my father when I was 7/8! Only now than Im turning 18 have I learnt to make a flawlessly working computer!
I agree with everyone else here...
Noone can give you the answer you want.
It took me months of hard work, with no help from anyone else but text books to be able to write java for android.
Thats your best hope.
Good luck though, Keep at it! Its worth it in the end.

Hey, mate...I have looked at your photos, great shots...Keep it up....Cheers.
I would like to start teaching people about android so if you would like to learn from me about:
- Making Roms
- Scripting
- Modding
- Theming
Then please post here what you'd like to learn about and PM me as well and I'll send you a lesson every night or every other night about that category. You can choose all 4 or just 1. It doesn't matter I'm here to help you, yeah YOU!
- Kifno
I'd like to just understand more about all of the topics. Not to be a dev, but just to be able to communicate better on this forum about it. Like I understand digitals VMS os but always hated to work with unix, so I learned very little about it.. What is scripting ? what is meant by modding, etc.
Thanks Kevin, Ted O.

Modding as in learning what I do in my tweak
Scripting is I'll give you bash script lessons
Also the lessons won't start until next week sometime because I wan to gather a group of students first. Right now I have a small class of 8 people. I'm only starting next week so that I can make a plan on where I'm going to start teaching you and the process I'm going to go about teaching you more (what should I teach you after what I previously taught you so that the lessons flow together). but I'm sure I can teach you all enough so that you all can start doing something for xda too

I'm sure you can't just jump into it. Start with something like HTML then move up c+ java etc

Hello,
I have heard that android has been ported to C#.
While this is a big thing, the reason why I am sharing this is that the performance of the C# Android version is superior than the Java one.
So my question is that can it be ported to our Heros?
Here is the link to the blog post and the github:
http://blog.xamarin.com/2012/05/01/android-in-c-sharp/
https://github.com/xamarin/XobotOS
Yeah, it sounds awesome, really Do you know if apps will b e compatible?
Edit: I think Nickoltus might be working on this?

Since is a translation from Java to C, I believe that the apps will run with no problem if a system is made to translate back from C to Java. Well, I guess that it will be a major step but we don't know if the drivers and all will be functional. All we have to do is wait
C and c# are two totally different languages. C# had more in common with java though. Sorry, just had to point it out
I guess it is possible to use it. But I'm a bit sceptical whether the graphs are fair
Cheers, R

They are good, but I think that they are a little bit too complicated at the beginning if you have got no programming knowledge at all.
By "taking android courses" I thought he's just not used to android development.
