Open source template for educational app - IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools

Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you an open source project I believe could benefit many of you.
Android Academy is a template for an Android educational app, use it and you will only need to focus on the contents of your courses in order to quickly launch your app idea. You can find the project in the GitHub repository gcorso/android_academy, which is a boilerplate of an Android Studio project and includes by layout files, activities control and database integration, everything already set up for you so that you can get a headstart to bring your project to life.
The project can be used for free and its goal is to give a chance for educators to create their learning platform without having to have a great knowledge of Android development and to save time also for expert Android developers.

Android apps development for NEWBIES. No Java knownledge required !

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 !

Developer needed

Im looking for ad dev with experience with the google calendar platform.
There is a great opportunity for the right person.
SKILLS REQUIRED
Native android (java) coding
Android Studio (or eclipse)
lifecycle application development processes (conception through fruition)
git
The project is well defined but lacking a developer or developers.
ANY and ALL experience with google calendar is an absolute plus.
The application that will be developed will be directly related to google calendar.
The application has very high potential for adoption by a very large usergroup.
Please PM me if you are interested in knowing more.

[Library] Android Pulley Menu

Hello everyone,
I have developed a pulley menu for android which is on the lines of the Pulley Menu introduced by Jolla in their Sailfish OS.Basically it is an alternative to the traditional menu and uses a gesture based approach to select one of the options.(Refer to the Screenshots in the github Repository for more clarity)
The project is available on github now and can be easily incorporated in any android application just like any other library. Sample Calls are listed in the project description and also there is a sample app
Github Link : https://github.com/AnshulBansal/Android-Pulley-Menu
Demo on Google Play Store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.anshul.pulleymenu.samples
Please give your valuable feedback regarding it and if you have any problems referencing the library in your project please comment here
Thanks.
Anshul Bansal
this is one of my favorite things about Sailfish OS, along with the universal color based theming, but Sailfish OS is so lacking otherwise that I would like to just see it in Android.

Do I need to learn Java to program in Android Studio?

Do I need to learn Java to program in Android Studio? Or I can just jump straight into it? If I must learn it, can u guys show me a great way of learning Java? (I have a Pascal basic BTW).
You definitely must. Java is the main language for android development and without knowing it you can't do anything advanced.
To start learning you can use docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/. But learning is nothing without practice so start your own project and use Java in it. It's relatively easy language so you can start quickly.

You are welcome. To be honest I don't know any video tutorial and personally I think the best way to learn programming is practice. So just use any Vogella's tutors and code your apps but always try to make them more complex.
Java is important for Android studio
Yes, you need to learn Java properly before visiting android studio.
Because Java is key to do programming in android studio for Android developers.

I learned from a YouTube series called "mybringback" 5 years ago. It's still a good place to start. Also, a great website that interactively teaches you to code is Codecademy.com. They are mainly a web-development website, but recently added java to their courses. It may be worth trying as well.
Root it and boot it!
Current device: Asus ZenFone 2 (Z00AD/ZE551ML)
ROM: Resurrection Remix
Kernel: FlareM
Service: Straight Talk
Check out my apps on Google Play
I have collected many good tutorials for Java and Android here.
Hope it helps
It best to learn Java, but today you can also use Xamarin to develop cross platform apps using .net (Visual Studio 2015).
java is main language to android studio
if you are using android studio, Java is a must. But you don't have to learn core java, you can just jump in to android programming, coz there are lots of different library there.
i would suggest using android studio instead of others, beside they are free, they are directly from google
Yes, java is must in order to develop android apps. Android virtual machine runs java codes. So android apps needs to be in java.
Now a days, there are so many frameworks and tools available which allow you to develop android apps in other languages and convert the apps developed in other languages to java code to deploy and run on android.
I think it is a good idea to directly code in java as you can easily understand concepts involved in android os and develop apps that perform well proving best user experience.. It is not difficult to learn java and android framework to develop android apps.
As others have pointed out, yes you must. However, if you have Pascal/Delphi background, that helps a lot! So loops/ifs/functions are no stranger to you. You "only" need to learn about classes, interfaces and such stuff, not very hard.
Luckily for you, there's literally thousands of Java tutorials, books, videos, anything you can think of. I always like to stick with books from respected authors and/or the language authors. So for Java, I'd go with https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/index.html (just an example, there's tens of other valuable books/tutorials).

[SDK] DeepOnionJ Tor integrated DAPP Development Kit

Fork it on Github (deeponion/Android-DeepOnionJ) - Always free and open.
DeepOnion is an open source blockchain project with the aim to bringing privacy and anonymity to anyone that wants it.
We've recently released the DeepOnion Mobile App template. This will enable anyone to rapidly build and deploy a Tor integrated mobile applications that can connect to the DeepOnion network.
This is a key step in opening up our blockchain to new opportunities. Most blockchain based services need to rely on centralised backends that suck information from you before allowing you to use them. This demonstrates our progress in being able produce privacy first, decentralised applications (DApps) and I'm here to invite the XDA community to have a look at what we are doing, let us know what you think and hopefully use our SDK to develop world class DApps.
The project is new and quite raw at the moment, though any Android Dev should be able to see the basics of how the project is integrated with Tor, syncs with the DeepOnion blockchain and provides an interface to interact with it. I'll be updating it over the coming weeks/months to be fully fledged module that you can just add using gradle.
