There are loads of porting threads etc dependant on what device your looking to work on with regards to kernel development.
If its apps etc you wish to develop, do a quick google search and you should find links to eclipse dev enviroment the android adt and sdk

Android SDK and Eclipse. That's about what you need.
You would probably need java knowledge too...
If you know any other programming language it should be really easy.

Try the guide here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html

I'm lost with the installation part. (have some background with other prog lang. but none with java) can anyone help me with this part? what is the needed apps and/or how to start this apps?

What part are you having trouble with? What OS are you running? I never could get windows7 to work right with java and eclipse.

Oh. Maybe thats why. Coz. Im using win7

What is Coz? Cousin?
Anyway, I set up a linux virtual machine using VMWare's VMPlayer--a scaled down free version of VM's Workstation. This runs pretty well under Win7 on my laptop. I still use my main linux box for development when available.

I recommend you use Linux 9.10
And download Android SDK android for Linux.

AVD stands for 'android virtual device'. AVDs are is used by the Eclipse IDE for developing apps for the Android system. Essentially, when developing an app it is very useful to check it against the AVDs of different android devices to ensure that the app will perform properly on each device.
When I asked for help, I thought that this forum - namely xda-developers - would be able to point me to sources of the AVD's of various android devices. I'm surprised that no-one seems to have heard of them - are there any andriod app developers that read this forum?

Ummm ... tools ? ... Well for app development you'd need an IDE ... i'd suggest Eclipse Or Android Studio ...Then since you're app communication with an external server, i recommend you take a look at This framework Android-Query which simplifies Network Tasks ... And .. All the Best ! :good:

Well, if you have no experience at all, I suggest just starting out small. It's pretty difficult to make something like that without prior knowledge.

If you have no experience you should start with something easier!

I suggest learning how to spell out your words first before even trying to make an app. Unless your target is 11 year olds.

Wow, that's a sophisticated app to start with. It will require a lot of components include client, server, push notification, synchronization... I suggest you start with an offline simple app first

Beginning to develop apps using Android Studio!

Hello all,
New to this community. Learning Android development with Android Studio, but with the tutorial that was developed on Eclipse. The tutorial which I am following is from developer.android.com, which is really fantastic, but the same thing when converted to Android Studio pops up errors. I have link to the project attached, could somebody advice me on whats wrong in this.
Thank you all.

Silly me. A typo in the package name created the problem. Thanks to all who viewed this post.

I was just wondering about that Android Studio... How is it compared to the ADT bundle?
I'm also new to development... Downloading things through SDK Manager as we speak as per the instructions from the Getting Started training on developer.android.com

Hi,
If you are new to development I recommend starting off with Android Studio, because that is going to be the future of Android development. But the programs as of now has some bugs, so when error pops up, it would make you think whether it is your code or the program.
