Feedback required : Interactive way to learn Android using Eclipse plugin - IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools

Hi,
I am part of Codelearn.org.
We have created an interactive Android Tutorial where you learn android online, do it in your Eclipse IDE and a plugin which tests your progress and helps you with non-trivial errors .
I would love to have feedback from you guys over how helpful it is for a newbie or a person who wants to brush up his concepts.
You can try it here at codelearn.org/android-tutorial

Programming Environment Please

Hi folks.
I'm a VB6 programmer and I have to develop an app for the XDA as part of a large project in which I am involved. I have read that embedded vb is available but could do with step by step directions to the essential tools necessary to allow vb6 development for this.
I can not seem to find a microsoft download for embedded VB6 though the C++ one is readily available and I have downloaded the pocket pc sdk. A little guidance would be most appreciated.
Many thanks

[Q] Start programming for android

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

Android programmer newbie needs to know basics

Hi, so tomorrow is Sunday and I am in the mood to write some cool programs for android devices. Please tell me all the tools I require and some reverse engineering ones too for copy pasting some cool things thx.
Here's a google doc a user called autom8r from reddit posted.
It's pretty useful and he goes through why he used everything. Credits to him not me.

Too many things to download ><" jdk eclipse adt blah blah no longer interested in android development
You just need Eclipse for JAVA developers, and Android SDK with ADT plugin. And if it you first application you must read the book like "Android development for 24 hours".
Can u please provide direct download links to those files. This eclipse has like 2820207328282626 versions and I get confused
On Android Developers there is a bundle package which contain sdk/eclipse/adt.

I Would not recommend you copying and pasting parts of other people's software. You will learn much more if you try to write it yourself.
For a lot of Android features there are open source libraries. Try them out, they may help you developing your app.

From the beginning ?

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

Android app with Gradle in Eclipse

Greetings!
I just started my internship in a company that develops android applications., but i have a problem. My boss insists that i work in Eclipse, but I'm unable to follow instructions from android developers site because my eclipse app doesnt have gradle.
To be precise, my job is to implement push messages into existing app but I'm stuck at these lines:
Add the dependency to your project-level build.gradle:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2'
Add the plugin to your app-level build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
dependencies {
compile "com.google.android.gmslay-services:8.4.0"
}
Is there a way to work around using gradle, and do this other way, or alternatively is there a way to add build.gradle files to my project.
I'm pretty worried because this is my first job, and I'd like to do and learn as much as possible but I'm just stuck. If someone could explain to me step by step what to do when i stumble upon a gradle, would appreciate it immensely.
Thanks
You can try to use Gradle (STS) Integration for Eclipse, but it's very hard
If you need to use Eclipse for Android development it is highly recommended to use ADT plugin: http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
It is developed by Google for Android development and was the only choice few years ago. Now they support only Android Studio but you can of course use Eclipse. You may find an Eclipse ADT bundle as well somewhere which is an eclipse integrated with ADT. If I remember well it do have a Gradle plugin but if not then use Gradle STS from Eclipse marketplace
why dont you use Android studio?
