You have to move to Android Studio. Eclipse is no more supported for the Android platform.
If you want to use Material Design with Android Studio, you "have just" to add a graddle to your project. There is a lot of tutorials about how to add Material Design in Android Studio on the net.

Take a look at the Android NDK (Native Development Kit). You can build native code and compile with C/C++, although it is best integrated with a Java project to build the final APK. You can't use Objective-C, however. We don't have Cocoa Touch haha
I personally haven't used the NDK but I've looked at it and it does provide a complete ARM toolchain. NVIDIA also provide some additional Tegra profiling tools that integrate with the NDK.

hmm thanks so objective c is out most likely i will integrate it with Java to since my c skills are not great yet....for a mobile environment you recommend Android NDK?

Well, the SDK for proper app development (in java mainly) but you can integrate that with the NDK for native code in C/C++

Maybe you start with reading some android book. They have some simple examples that you can play with.

I highly recommend you to read a book called Head First Java. Once all your concepts are clear, then start reading Head First Android to know the basics about Android app development. Good luck
You should start with googling Hello world application for android. Next you need Eclipse with ADT plug-in (mostly used IMO) plus Android SDK as dev tools.

That's the book I also recommend to everyone who hasn't got very much expirience with programming. It is easy to understand and fun to read. So get that book and learn Java first. However, you can skip the parts about designing the user interface (UI) as that is completely different for Android.
Afterwards get a book about Android programming. You need a good understanding of Java for that though.
Software which you will need is Eclipse and the Android SDK.
Basics
You need to learn the concepts of Java, (reading the books as suggested) and try experimenting and changing what you've learn through Eclipse

I have personally read Head First Java and agree its a good place for you to start. I had been learning for about a year on and off when I finally picked up the book. It was like a light switch turned on and finally started wrapping my ahead around the things I had been failing to comprehend.
I want to point out to those some things to those that think they are just going to jump in and start developing world class apps. First thats not going to happen. Learning Java and other parts of Android are like learning whole new languages in their own. You have to learn to walk before you can run. But for those that really want to do it, don't give up and you will eventually get there. :cyclops:
You can also find many beginner's java tutorials(they may not be as good as the books). But once you have the concept you should be on your way to app development.

I think the best and complete way is studing the java tutorials provided by oracle and the android tutorials by google.
You can start with the basics of object programming and the fundamentals of java and android.
After, use the advanced tutorials for specific concepts.

In my opinion there are better tutorials than Google's ones for beginners. Too complicated for newbies in my view.

Hi !
I answered your question here. Of course you need to know Java before you start with Android programming.
Hi everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great Christmas. I just got a nexus 7 for Christmas and really want to make an android app now. I've learned other languages before like HTML 5, CSS3, but not java. How should I go about learning java and then making an app? Thanks and enjoy the break!

In my opinion best thing is to buy a book about developing android apps.

Sorry, html nor css3 is comparable with java!! If you know JavaScript or PHP that would be an advantage.
Don't buy a book about android developing: you'll get frustrated! Learn java first: It isn't as hard as you think after a week: Don't give up. If you know java, android will be much more easy!

What's the best way to learn java?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
way many java tutorials are available on the net.
And java is very easy language to learn, and developing android is very easy as well.

Do you have some tutorials links regarding Java for android ? I am looking for a good tutorial to start but with all the options I'm scared of wasting my time with tutorial that are too complicated or just bad...
The "Programming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems" course starts on Coursera on 21-th january. May be it will be useful for you.
Java for Android is slightly different from regular Java. That is, the programming language itself is the same, but some of the packages (libraries) are different.
I think it's best to start with regular Java (for desktop apps), because there's a lot more books, tutorials and other resources to get you started. Once you know the basics of the Java language, you can then move to Android.
I can recommend Netbeans as a good IDE for starting with Java development.
The official IDE for Android is Eclipse, with a special Android plugin provided by Google. I don't find Eclipse very userfriendly, and it is not that stable either, so I don't think it's that good for beginners.
Some code I develop for Android today, I develop with Netbeans as a regular Java app first, then import the code into Eclipse and modify it to work for Android. But that's mostly the 'business end' code (I mainly develop graphical/rendering stuff...). UI code is entirely different for regular Java and Android, so it wouldn't make sense to do that in Netbeans first.
Youtube or Amazon will help you.
For learning Java I can recommend the newboston videos on youtube, his Android series even explains the java in good detail.
There are some good books for java, check Amazon reviews for the best ones. I like the Dietal How to Program, Java: The complete reference, and Java for Dummies.
Ok, im new in android development, used gamemaker studio for couple of hours, used eclipse for very short time, and basic4android little bit more than the eclipse.
so what are the differences in these programs. could i make a game in eclipse alone (no need gamemaker studio and basic4android)?
Yes you can make a game, or any app for that matter, in eclipse.
Eclipse is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which helps the user during coding sessions with auto-assist features, corrections, color-highlighting, auto-formatting, amongst many many more features.
What Game maker is (from my understanding anyhow) is a more graphically oriented IDE. It does more "coding" for you behind the scenes, whereas in eclipse, you're basically writing in a very sophisticated version of notepad.
I develop using eclipse, and have been since I started almost 4 years ago. Since Android Studio has emerged, I tend to play around with that a bit.
My suggestion for you if you are looking to develop strictly for android is Android Studio here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
The android developers website has plenty of useful tutorials, guides, references, and troubleshooting.
Hope this gets you started in the right direction. Good luck, and happy coding!

Yeah, Android Studio is highly recommended but may be a little more complicated when getting into advanced projects (external libraries, gradle, etc...). But if you are just starting out, it has a lot of helpful features and tooltips that may help your understanding a bit. Another downfall is that Android Studio is still in fairly early development, which may present bugs from time to time.
Eclipse is also highly recommended, as it is a very solid build. It is not designed strictly for Android, so it is not as helpful with all of it's features.
Either way, stay motivated and believe you can do it. That's what really matters.

I want to start Android App development
I watched some tutorials About making android App
I am confused About choosing ANDROID STUDIO Or ECLIPSE with ADT Bundle?
As I downloaded ANDROID STUDIO [Got positive feedback about AS]
I asked one guy he said me Android Studio is DIFFICULT as compared to ECLIPSE ADT BUNDLE
Is HE Wright?
Note:Correct me if i was wrong above as i Am Beginner In this
If you're a beginner with no knowledge of either platform, I'd suggest you go for Android Studio.
For many developers (myself included) Eclipse with ADT seems easier solution, just because we're quite used to this platform.
But Google is pushing Android Studio and will phase out Eclipse based solution completely. It's better for you to start with Android Studio and get along.
