[Q] So I want to make an app - HD2 Android Themes and Apps

This will be my first... I need advice on what I need to learn... it is a fairly simple app, so beginners guides/tutorials should do just fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

What previous development experience do you have?

some c# and I'm currently learning XML.

Have a look at this...
http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html
It's a great starting point and will walk you through getting the dev environment up and running and creating a few little apps.
After that, forums, google groups and just generally google are the best ways to go. I do also recommend the book, Sams "Teach yourself Android application development in 24 hours". It's very good and walks you through all the different steps of development in a very clear way.
Good luck mate

thanks a lot man

Here is a guide that looks like it might be useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658761 Also in that post is a link to the app dev's thread. It didn't take me too long to find this, you just need to brush up on the google skills

Start from the ground up, take apart some apps, ask friends if they are into Android and possibly find a developer to work with, my buddy Scary Alien and I are building multiple apps and it makes it more fun. Get some books if that is how you learn, I reccomend Apress books. And just have fun with it! Its not too hard but it does help to know basic algebra as you use lots of math in coding.
Cheers and feel free to PM me if you need some help along the way!

Are we stalling ?

Haven't seen many updates, feel like the devs are finally moving on.
Is this really the end ?
Of course not!
I remember when I started web devving. I was faced with a problem: I wanted a website, but couldn't find anyone who would do what I wanted. So I learnt myself, and now I own a successful web design business.
The moral of this story is: If you think there is a need for it, just teach yourself some java, c++, etc and you're good to go!
As you can see on git, scooter is doing a lot of work but also:

Introducing EmotiCODE, collaborative source & source code search engine!

Hi guys, i'd like to introduce you my new project, EmotiCODE!
EmotiCODE is a collaborative source code snippets aggregator and search engine but mostly a place where developers can find the answers they are searching for and contribute with their own contents to help others with the same needs.
The main concept behind emoticode is "as a developer i own a lot to people publishing source codes, snippets and guides on the internet, the less i can do is do my best to help the internet back", therefore we encourage people to register ( the process is pretty straightforward ) and post every bit of code they have/use/find on the internet, because even the smallest three-line-snippet could solve someone else problems while developing a project ... you never know
You can also, as a registered user, mark snippets you find more interesting and/or usefull to you as your favorites, clicking on the thumb icon on the left of every element. This will allow you to find them easily in the future on your profile page and will let other user have an idea on your tastes or specific needs.

Amazing! That's what I call innovation compared to people going around creating Facebook ripoffs. Nice work.

thanks dude! i really appreciate it
It is very nice indeed. If I could make one constructive criticism it would be that they could do with a brief description. Unless you can understand the code then some of them are not self-explanatory, and if you can understand the code then you probably wouldn't be looking for it in the first place! Descriptions should be searchable as well
Other than that though, top job

tnx again for your advice.

That was quick! Nice
I've got some utility/helper classes I'll rip some bits out of. I should be able to find something tasty in there

everything could be useful! as the About section states:
Code:
... even the smallest three-line-snippet could solve someone else problems while developing a project ... you never know :)
Now emoticode has its own comment system! ( look at the bottom of each snippet )
This so awesome!
What would be the best way to filter results?
I see the plus on the right to search a language category.
How would one filter down to say "init.d" snippets for Android SDK only?

Selective search is being developed, anyway if you first go to the Android SDK section ( http://www.emoticode.net/android-sdk/ ) and then perform a search from there, you will search only in that section ... i know, it's a little bit confusing and not user-friendly, i have to fix it

Just passed this to a developer for the tablet we have.
Haven't heard back from him he must still be browsing.

Using Tasker and Pebble Tasker

Anyone care to walk me through how to use these two programs? I've looked on line for tutorials but they don't seem to address that. Anyone? Bueller?
Pebble tasker in the play store
I'm about to write a little guide about this topic, I just need to find some freetime for it.

Cool. I"ve read where you can use Pebble Tasker to open different Canvas watchfaces, check weather, and other functions by programming the buttons on the watch. That's what I need to learn how to do. To start.

Any luck on the guide? I certainly need it!
@rogerperk: I actually uploaded it yesterday. You can find it over HERE.
It might not answer all your questions, but I believe it's a good starting point.
