From the beginning ? - Java for Android App Development

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

where do you learn how to build custom roms?

Hi I'm just wondering where to learn how to make custom roms?
I find it very interesting but guess I don't quite understand it just yet.
I have built cupcake and tried to run it in the emulator following the steps google gives on the source code page, but it never gets past "Android" with a flashing cursor and a black background on the emulator and i've never tried to flash it to the phone as im not brave enough being i really dont know what i'm doing. I would like to use the files in JF's build so i have root and what not, maybe poke around the code a little, see how things work. I wish someone would make a beginers tutorial for for this. I know its not easy and you need to know how to program. and programing shouldn't be part of the tutorial, but just how to get all the files maybe make a small change to one or two of them and then build it and see those changes at work would be nice.
Thanx for any help!
there is no beginners guide to programming the android OS, either you can look at the source and edit to your liking or you can't. for the most part the guys that have been building the ROMs have been working with programming for a long time and know what they are doing. i am working on it, but my java is old knowlege and i don't remember much. you will need to learn java in order to play with building your own ROM
I'm not so much talking about editing the source as just take the source and build it so i can run it in the emulator. I'm not that great with linux, and i did build it, but i think i did somthing wrong because it freezes at the android screen. I know im not going to just grab the code and start changing it with no experiance. I just want to mess around and see what i can learn.

[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.
