Hey XDA,
we are a new york based startup and have an existing app for android and iPhone ready to launch.
Before launching we decided to release it on all device formats now including android wear. If you
got behind the SDK and feel ready to translate a very simple messenger then please get in touch
with us and we send you all the info you need.
Cheers,
iW

Hello all,
This post is in regard to the Google Android Challenge put out by Google to create/develop new software for the Google Android shell. If you haven't had a chance to read about it, it's basically a new OS created by Google to run on any type of PDAesque cellular phone. The challenge issued is then to develop new software for this OS (written in Java) so that when it is released it will have software available for it.
My question to all of you is what software would you like to see developed for this new OS? The reason I am asking for ideas is because I am a CS undergraduate student working in a research group to create one of these programs. Ergo, I figured asking you guys what you'd like to see created would be the best way to get ideas that will make sense and benefit the community.
Any ideas you submit here may be used in the creation of new software--if you require idea copyrights that can be worked out.
Thank you all in advance,
Jake

Hello Jake,
We'll I'm a Java programmer too, not thinking of entering the challenge though. Had a quick look at the SDK for Android and it does'nt seem like pure java, more like a hybrid of C and Java does'nt it?
Since I have'nt had a thorough look at it, I'd like to ask you a few questions regarding the freedom to program on the platform.
Since it does'nt use the "normal" JVM but googles Davlik where theres no byte code but script code, does it allow better interaction with the hardware, and is it faster? Also can you implement equallizers and other effects in a media based application, which of course was not possible on J2ME. I was thinking on a All-round mediaplayer for Android, something like Rockbox which maybe found at www.rockbox.org which is a linux based program used on iPods etc.. but has been ported to Linux based EZX phones.

I'm also interested. But I think you also have to specify at what level you program already. What languages your program in or if you're a complete beginner, like moi hehe, in order to get adequate recommendations
i just walked into a book store and picked up idiots guide to android, idiots guide to java, and a cup of coffee.... form what i can see, alot of app developement happens in java (or the tutorials i've seen are by people who prefer java) so I just figure i start this way... also, elicpse looks like it could do many diffrent languages so as long as your version does the language you know (should you already know one) you should be golden...
Great! Thanks for the feedback guys!
My top book is Commonsware's The Busy Coder’s Guide to Android Development
Also if you get the subscription online, you get access to all his books + updates.
Check it out here http://commonsware.com/
you can download at

If you know Java:
For Beginners: Apress Beginning Android 2 (it assumes you already know Java and Eclipse)
Advanced: Pro Android 2 (Nice advanced topics), Professional Android 2 Application Development (Great widget chapter, lots of advanced topics)

Hi all,
I wanted just to bring to the attention of all "newbies" like me on the Android application development, that now it's possible to develop really good apps in a very short time.
I think it could be a very good start point for starting developing Android apps.
I learned about this environment by chance, just performing some google searches for starting collecting info on Android development (Eclipse, ADT, etc.etc.), just when I started to be highly bored with Java.
The good news is that "no Java" language knownledge is required since all the application develepment is done using the BASIC
For furter info about this wonderful IDE (with integrated Debugger) you can refer to the following website : www[.]basic4ppc[.]com
Well....what else to say....have a good Android app development !
If you decide, after having used the trial version, to purchase a license you can use the discount code "bhzepr" to have it with 50% off
(Important: to use the discount code you have to select the PLIMUS purchase link and insert then it in the proper field)
Using it you can have the Enterprise version at half price.
Have fun !

I started developing Android almost 3 years ago. As for today, the only programming tools I've ever used to build Android APPS (not Games) were Android Studio and Eclipse (ADT Plugin). Please consider that Whatsapp, Viber and other messaging apps (Telegram and more) are COMPLETELY based on customised version of XMPP which is a "open standard Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)." (Wikipedia). You could try to start developing something like that but if you just started the Android Developing I wouldn't suggest such difficult things... If you need help, I'm always here!
Good day everyone,
Please I am very very new to Android App development, I'm a complete nob but I really have a desire to build apps for the android platform. I recently downloaded an android tutorial pdf which I use to practice, I have installed on my PC ADT and Android Studio, but everything seems to complicated to me, the java language and everything looking soo hard. I managed to sail through and mastered the codes for Activities, Services but I got stuck when I got to the Content Providers chapter of the tut. The thing is I dnt knw how to write java.
Please what I need to know now is; what is the most basic of Android app development? Where do I have to start from first? and the steps to follow.
Thanks alot in advance

If you're completely new to Java (and programming in general), you should learn it first. You don't need to know everything, but you should at least learn the basic syntax, variable types, and object oriented programming. I know MIT Opencourseware has free course materials on learning Java, it might be a good place to start.

Hello Guyz,
I am a newbie. I just published my first android app in Google Play Store. I need your support to grow...please help me grow. Rate if you like this game:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hachi72.flynofly
Thanks
Adding to flywheels, next you might want to check Android specific materials from official web-site. You need to learn base/fundamental, I believe this is why you stuck with Content Providers.
