Here you go. The official Android Developers site has got information on that: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Consider using Android Studio instead as well.
Try this, it is about Development with Android and Eclipse
http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Android/article.html
It is updated to January 2014, and it's very good for beginners.
Thanks i will check it once i'll get home

ADT bundle is Juno or Keplar as far as i know so they should be compatible
post the
-vm argument of your eclipse.ini
which can be found in your eclipse installation folder.
a suggestion switch to Android Studio trust me you wont regret.

A sample one from Eclipse wiki
it will differ from yours
look for things in bold
-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm **this should be followed by the exact path to javaw or java executable binaries**
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m **this should in no case exceed half the amount of RAM in your pc here value is 512 in MBs**
compare these two with yours and it should work

How is java important, android is based on java, an .apk is just a modified .jar and there are tools to change a .jar into an .apk so a jre or java vm isnt required
Nice. Can this use for website that require java applet security?

Why is there no java.apk in this zip file? Also, recovery throws up an error: Unable to find "system/customize/MNS/52099.xml" in Manifest file or something like that when tried to flash this zip..
I get an error for a missing file system/customize/MNS/52099.xml and then it says verification failed... anyone know how to fix this

how exactly do i use that once flashed? i have a .jad file but it wont work...the only way i've got it work is with foundation profile midp installed, and that is very ugly. not even sure about security since i want to use it for m-banking?
works on CM RC2 ?

those system apps use lots of hidden API which is not available in android SDK (security reason i guess)..
maybe this blog can help u out http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/
Maybe you will need to add some external libraries like the supportv4 library.

Hmmm thanks for the link. I looked at it real quickly this morning and it may be what I need. once I get home I'll post the errors I'm getting.
But they mostly pertain to that link where some imported things cannot be found.

Hello guys
I was thinking to create a simple build.prop editor. someone can help me where should I start. it's a simple project so I want to work myself to get some experience in android app development. As I know I have to provide root permission in android manifest. Xml but how the activity can read build.prop file
Thank you

Root commands need to be executed the command line way.
You can get the content of a file using
Code:
cat <filepath>
For executing these commands I recommend using the RootTools library.
First of all get basic Linux command line knowledge.

No, it does not mean that.
If you want to do anything which needs SU permission, you need to do it without the Android API. You run a command on the built-in command line on your phone from your app. Now in Java you are able to read the output of the command and parse it to get the required information.
There is no other way of doing it because Android was not designed to be rooted.

Hello my friends
I am a new member of xda
I want to know where to start a development in android
And what do I need to start
sorry bad english .......
........thanx

Google is your first point of call
development is such a general term - what exactly do you want to do
Once you know that type into google - how to xyz - or guide for xyz
for general stuff you will need
apktool
android sdk
java jdk
android kitchen
cygwin (if using windows)
notepad++

U may only navigate to XDA Univirsty for vedio tuts
if you want to develop apps :
download android SDK and search google for some tutorials (there are hundred thouthands)
stack over flow will help you alot too if you encountered an error
if you want to develop Roms:
you need to read some tutorials here on XDA and learn to use tools that marcus mentioned before
use android sdk ...and download its eclipse plugin too
Adt bundle is der in android developer site
There r lessons too to learn

So I would like to learn how to develop apps for the android OS. I'm not sure where I should put this (sorry if in wrong section). I would like to learn how to code and do all the steps in app development. I have absolutely ZERO experience in coding other then changing the dedicated RAM for Minecraft. If someone could tutor me maybe twice a week or link me to other forums that explain this sort of thing and provide support for people. I would be very happy for either if the two! Thank you guys!
Learning Java
Hi NamesBass
Android development is basically Java. I learned it from a while. The easiest way is to watch some YouTube videos. Also very helpful are the official tutorials and sample apps. You can find them here: developer.android.com/training (Sorry I haven't 10 posts yet so I can't post direct URLs). Then start coding and when you stuck somewhere use google and learn from it

read book
read books, good books on programming - Android in 24 hours (loren Dersy( i ), Sheyn Kondor), and Android 2 ( Reto Mayer)
Thank you for the help.

okay so i downloaded that and tried to set it up but an error message came up saying I need to add an environment variable for JAVA_HOME. I did this and it went something like C: Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\Java and when I launched the program, it told me to direct it to JDK not jre7, but I dont have a JDK file. I did a system search and nothing came up.

You are pointing to the jre7 folder in Program Files/Java. You should change that to the jdk folder.
e.g. My JAVA_HOME variable is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05
So I change jre7 to JDK(whatever)?

Why are you using JDK 8 for Android? It's not officially supported by Android SDK. Do you see any improvements/problems in compare with JDK 7?
