[Q] I want to start coding some Android applications. Where to start from? Guides?

I've only studied pseudocode for only 2 years. And I want to learn how to code android apps. I downloaded the SDK. Installed the platform-tools and the API10 needed for the 2.3.3. I made a virtual device, but I get an error:
invalid command-line parameter: Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.
Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
please use -help for more information
Also, I would like to ask for some links to learn how to code. Obviously, coding an Android application isn't ONLY done on Java, but C, C++ and some visual coding apps. So any help for your fellow Android friend? ^^;;

Hi,
How are you trying to launch the emulator? from SDK Manager or Eclipse?
In case you are trying to launch from Eclipse it seems like you SDK location is set incorrectly. Try changing Window->Preferences->Android->SDK location to:
c:\Progra~1\Android\android-sdk

Development is done mainly in Java using the SDK.
You can use the NDK and code in C++ but I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner.
Start with learning OOP in general, then learn Java, then read Android's developers guide. After that it really depends on what your app should do (e.g. for 2D games development learn AndEngine).
I don't have any links to offer. Just google it

Hello and thanks for the reply! No, I'm using the SDK. Fortunately, I found out what was going on and moved the folder From C:\Programs\ to C:\ That did the trick.
And finally, I made that virtual machine. And all I see is... an Android OS... How do I make an app now...? Seeing the Android OS doesn't help me... xD

Running an emulator won't teach you how to program
The emulator is just for running Android OS on your PC so you could test your applications even without a real device.
Be sure to follow all steps in http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
They will guide you how to set up Eclipse IDE for android development.
After actually learning how to program in Java, follow http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html

Signing an app for the market?

I had someone develop an app for me, I have the apk, and the source files, what do I need to sign it and submit it? I have Java sdk, android sdk, latest eclipse and the adt plugin.

http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html

I still can't figure out how to open up the app in eclipse, this is literaly the first thing Java or serious programming related I've ever done.

Create a new Android project in Eclipse and select "Create project from existing source" then hit Browse and find the source folder with AndroudManifest.xml in the root folder. After that just follow Gene Poole's link.

Okay, I figured it out, I just had to open it in the project browser and I was able to complie, sign and submit it to the market. Now its time to read some android for dummies books and make my own apps.

If above requirements are fulfilled, then there is no problem in making an android app... Any questions, ask google! That guy is the guy I like to play with! You can see those search buttons, that tickles when you click... Or i meant to say poke. Tickle him and he gives you answers.

Do you know any programming language? Java is the best choice, because Android OS API is in Java, but you can also use C++ (NDK) or C# (Mono, Unity).

Eclipse basic should be good,
and VTS for finalizing and editing

[Q] Learning App Development.

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?
