Hey all,
As you can see I'm new to the community and I had a few questions. I wanted to build my own android build, but I don't know where to start reading. So I'm asking for any tutorials on the web in where I can start off at.
I saw a few builds and was shocked on the creativity. I have a spare HD2 so I'm willing to play with it a bit more
I also wanted to know if there is a IRC server/room that I can connect to and perhaps get more involved in the community
Anyways thanks for all your help
knowing a crap-load of linux is probably the best place to start @[email protected] and im pretty sure you have to know how to use the Android SDK, but im not a pro or anything @[email protected] maybe ask in the other forum, the development forum.
Well I know a bit of a linux and haven't read up on the Android SDK. I know that it's a start but wanted a bit more information on the topic before anything.
Hi!
I am doing a research project for my university and it would be very helpful if you could answer this survey.
It is really fast and easy to do it and I would really appreciate it.
Here you can find the survey in english:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dHlOQzRfNS1FT3JNUjZpY2Q1Z1h5MVE6MQ#gid=0
And here, the same survey in spanish:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&pli=1&formkey=dDdwREFtbkt2dGpXdnBzb3B6Uld3V2c6MQ#gid=0
It will not take more than 5 minutes.
Thank you so much!
Done.

Filled in.
Good questions , you should receive some interesting data.
Thank you so much for your answers. I'm receiving a lot of answers, but sadly i still need more.
@a33a
I've used my 6 months experience as an android user to create this survey. Thank you for your feedback.
done whats it for?
Hey! thanks!
It is for a module called research methods, where we are supposed to show how can we research about something.
Obviously I decided to do a research about how the android market works. I don't think my assigned teacher would know so much about Android but I wanted so badly to do something about android .
Honestly, the number of answers received it's amazing! But I feel like I have to ask for more.
done good luck with your project
Done Some good points raised there...
Wich OS its better for my smartphone android or Windows mobile and let me know for tune up it like themes cool apps
You´ll have to ty yourself and find out what fits best your needs.
WinMo and Sense are offering great ways to tweak and mod your interface, but app development has virtually stopped as WinMo is a legacy product.
If you´re after tons of apps, maybe Android will be your choice (even if 80% of all the apps are just... kind of crappy). Nice mods here, too, of course.

Could you send me a guide to put android in my device im a totally noob on this xD
Please check the stickies in each sub-forum.
They usually come with links to great tutorials, hints and tipps.
For Android NAND installation, go here: Click!
for me definitely android.
best android
for me is android 2.3 ! i wait for 2.4 ! :X
as the chaps mentioned above, try to play with windows first before jumping to android. i myself use android and it's a big leap from i was used to from wm6.5. but to fully appreciate android, perhaps you can have a go with wm. you'll see the big difference and from there be able to decide as to which os is really for you.
If you're trying WM, install the free trial version of SPB Mobile Shell 3.5
Well that's stupid. A phone doesn't have feelings nor preference, so what is "best" or "better" for your smartphone is dumb. I mean it can't tell, hence the, "it".
Well enough of my trolling and onto more trolling.
How the hell are we supposed to know what is best for you? Are we you? Do we know you? Do I even have the hintest idea of you? No, so stop with these ridiculous questions. It's like asking me "what do i like about you?" Heck I don't even know you.
And now to the end of my trolling. This is to prevent you from asking more stupid questions like this.
In terms of customizing, android and winmo are prolly the best you can get.
If you can't even go around and search up a guide, you don't deserve to customize your device with your poor enthusiasm, which will prolly end with you bricking your device since you can't even go out and read.
No hard feelings, I say this to stress the need to read.
Hey everyone.
I'm a new developer, and I'll start with the mandatory apologetic prelude to my question, which is, I hope I'm in the right forum. Also, I've searched through the forums for an answer to my query, admittedly not too much, but the information seemed to be scarce.
Anyway, I'm a new aspiring Android developer, and I'm making my baby steps into coding for my favorite mobile OS.
Since I'm just starting right after the latest I/O, my attention is leaning toward the welcoming Android studio. The problems that arise are:
A. No tutorials for this new environment.
B. It's surly buggy.
So my question really, is the Android studio the right place to start in? Or am I better off starting with the ADT Bundle, which includes (I assume) all the stuff I need to get started with.
Thanks a bunch!
p.s
I'm sorry for any typos etc, English is not my main language. :cyclops:
You should not
This is a 0.1 release and you'll loose more time trying to find why things don't work than learning android.
Depending on what you want to do with Android (little apps for you or bigger project later) I'd recommend either to go with eclipse since it will still be maintained and you'll have most tutorial on it.
If you want to think about future I'd go with real IntelliJ to learn using it and be ready for future Android studio and all the gradle things that will come.

Thanks for the reply.
IntelliJ it is.
Is there a specific course you might recommend?
Thanks again.

Go with eclipse, even IntelliJ is same as Android Studio... Rest is upto you.
Happy programming, Good luck!!

i think u must try develop on eclipse first.. because alot of tutorial android with eclipse IDE
I suppose i agree with the other people somewhat, but i've just started following tutorials and using android studio. I haven't really ran into any major issues, and i think going through and trying to find something myself really helps me learn. I guess it depends on how adventurous and patient you are. I haven't really found any bugs, but you could wait till an update that fixes major bugs if you want. Oh and it looks nicer, and is a bit more handy than eclipse. good luck

Yeah, I find it better for coding. However, I have already experienced some bugs. But they are just related to the layout preview thing. So nothing serious.
I still think that for new developers it is better to start with Eclipse due to the amount of tutorials for it, but I agree that it is a great learning experience. :good:
Hope I'm Not Too Late!
I Hope I'm not too late, I learned Java first. What I'd suggest you to do is go to Google, look up "Learn Java MyBringBack." Click on the first Youtube Video. The videos are made by Sir Travis Cornelius. I love that guy, he's awesome! He teaches Java to beginners in a way everybody will love.
After getting past the 5th or 6th tutorial. If you can, then buy a "Beginning Java for Dummies" book. There are a lot of things about Java which can't be explained in a video.
Please Do Check it Out
P. S: I'm not trying to gain views for that video, I'm just telling you this because of personal experience!

This is great! Thanks I'm new in android development too. Java is great but the one that confuse me is Android's classes and methods. Their documentation page scares the hell out of me. It feeds me lot of info with less sample. Thanks again!
Actually there is a sticky, not far from here(on Android Developers Forum), which has what you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124002
If you are feeling confused by the api stay small and do simple things until you get the hang of it. I don't know your exact experience with Java but one thing that gets a lot of beginners is the OOP. Be sure you are good with it before starting with android. Also take note that android uses Dalvik VM and has different application lifecycle so be sure to learn it. When i began developing i was pretty confused too but stackoverflow is full of examples and nice guys that can help you out.
I think you need to learn from basic Android. You can learn from some tutorial or book (I recommend you to read Hello Android). If you have any question you don't know when learn, you can post in stackoverflow, these guys can help you and you will learn a lot of knowledge from that. Also, you can see samples from developer.android.com/samples/index.html , they are sample from Google, It's very useful!
Good luck!
