Hi,
First of all thank you so much for starting a forum for learning the Android Development.
I am very much interested in learning android, and i have gone through the official android developers site, and downloaded the SDK.
But i am stuck there, coz i am very new to the Linux/Unix part. I would like to learn more about that, but i do not want to learn programming unless it's necessary. I know it will take a long long time to learn that. So can anyone help me with the app development or fixing/understanding ROM/Kernels.
Sorry if i am being too much jumpy in the starting itself, It's because i do not know where/how to start.
Thanks,
Les

Unfortunately without learning programming, you will find it difficult to do any app development and kernel understanding or fixing.
Programming is key to both of these. So although you don't want to, have a look at some of the resources out there on how to learn to program.
Apps are written in java, kernel code is mostly C.
Maybe this helps? I think failing to start by learning to program will just leave you disappointed.
If it's okay, I'd like to suggest something.
@lesfauves
For kernel development, you really need to learn C, C+, C++ etc. C is the most important language here. However if you're gonna build vanilla kernels (with no modifications whatsoever), a simple guide should do it. Modifying source code requires knowledge of C (and maybe some other languages) as pulser_g2 has said.
For app development, you need to know the basics of Java. It's a must. Otherwise you'll end up getting nowhere.
For ROMs, you need to have a good understanding of both Java and C (and some other languages).
You can learn these online. I'm learning C myself. It's really easy.
Hope I helped.

I too want to learn android development, just dont know where to start. Been waiting for xda university to open up for this very purpose. now I went through the site and still have a couple questions. I see that learning C is fundamental, where would you guys suggest would be the best place to learn? i was hoping for something like codeacademy, they dont have C though. Also, which distribution of linux would you guys suggest to install?
If you just want to dive in, and have fun creating small Android apps, learning Android concepts as you go, I highly recommend MIT App Inventor (AI): http://appinventor.mit.edu/ . It used to be Google AI but Google wanted to focus on other things.
I have decades of experience in Unix & Linux low level mostly C software development, but was new to Android & Java in Feb. 2011. App Inventor was a great intro to Android concepts, but it seems almost impossible to make commercial quality apps of any size with it.
So after a few months I dove into Java with the Android SDK & the concepts I learned with AI transferred well.
If you want to run Linux on your PC, which is a great way to learn Linux in general, Ubuntu remains quite popular, but a lot of us techy types have moved to Mint. I'm still on Ubuntu but will likely try Mint at some point.
The original and seminal book on C language is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language . It was a great intro for me back in the 1980's. But many C++ people will tell you learning C first may mess you up for C++. I never really caught on to C++ and don't care now as Java is IMO better.
This is the seminal book for C++: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C++_Programming_Language
In general I think C is better for kernel and low level Android NDK stuff; C is the language of the kernel. For higher level Java of course, using Eclipse as an IDE since it still is the most widely used IDE I think.
Any good sites or tutorials for learning Linux????????????/

A great site that I use to learn with for web design and development is Lynda.com which has a good amount of C tutorials and learning. It isn't free but a subscription is worth the site. There is a huge amount of information, tutorials, and learning that can be done there.

Ok lets say i want to learn how to make a device tree for my device cause noone make it...then compile aosp or cm and make it a usable rom for a device...to go to a bookstore to buy a book in my language to remove the possibility of wrong learning...what book to buy??java, c , c++??
This is a great idea, and as i have just started learning C at university (And Java next year woo!) i will be visiting this alot for reference and tutorials. I still find C hard to get grips with but i do have a basic understanding of it. I also like messing around with kernel's and stuff on android and really want to make my own ROM or kernel soon!
So thanks XDA and everyone involved in this !

If you want to learn how to make a device tree check outthis guide, then when your ready to try compiling AOSP and Cyanogenmod check out this guide. If you want to learn to compile ROM's and then I would recommend a book on Linux and C for programming kernels such as C All-in-One Desk Reference. On the other hand if you want to program applications a good Java book is important and I would recommend Head First Java. Hope this clears things up, let me know if you still have questions.

I want to learn how to develop...I mean of course it wont be an over the night thing, but i still have 70 years to spare.
I want to contribute to the community, and isn't that what linux is all about?
My first question, Can i develop android in ubuntu? or does it HAVE to be eclipse?
I wouldn't mind downloading both anyways since i want to learn how to use ubuntu anyways.
yeah..so i guess all im asking is for someone to set me in the right direction?
Also android is written in java too right?

Eclipse is a program that runs under ubuntu/windows/mac. It's only needed for development if you're going to be doing app modifications, etc, it completely depends what kind of development you want to do.
Kernel/Source editing can be done in notepad if you want but you're still gonna need to know some java.
Interested in learning as well
I'm also interested in learning to develop apps for android and apparently we're in the same boat and level (beginner) - Currently I have 22 apps and 10 live wallpapers I'd like to develop but I'm still doing the reading and software acquisitions necessary to start so PLEASE drop me a line on anything you figure out or learn and where you acquired the info/tutorial - who knows maybe we can get this software company going lol (big dreams here)
The guys on here seem to be light years ahead of us but I've got hella time to devote to learning, testing and development so I'm ready to go

JAVA knowledge is a MUST for development.
Also based on my own experience Eclipse does not work well under Windows.
I've tried to modify the Launcher app from Cyanogen's source to have 7 screens in stead of 5 and it failed each time. I edited it in Ubuntu and it worked the first time. Just need to have Java 5 installed (not sure if there was a fix for Java 6 discovered yet). Eclipse works very well in Windows if you just plan on editing .9.png files but that's more theming than development. So bottom line Ubuntu is highly advisable.
I guess you could always start somewhere by reading some of this.
I made this thread to help eachother in the nearby future for developing and some projects.

Programming, Mostly web development in PHP etc., currently looking into android and iphone app development (java/objective C), little shell scripting but nothing spectacular, understanding code.
Hardware, pretty much nothing
Visual: can translate the design to a working concept, but cannot create the design.
System wise: Linux, windows, OSX use it all and know the systems pretty good. The booting process, why things dont work and how to debug/fix it. But writing the code itself is a different aspect.
Edit: yes i own one, so my tags are: p, v, y
I am a .NET programmer and web designer in my full time job, and I am in the proccess of learning java for android app development (might try mono). I have built custom themes and kernels for android devices before, and will hopefully continue to do so for the IS. I will also throw my hand in at ROM development, but that might be a slow process . I'm fairly handy with hardware, although I have yet to dismantle an IS.

To all programmers,
I am a Young fellow interested in getting into software development. However, I don't know where to begin.. There's C++, java, and python all supposedly good languages to learn (c++ being a bit harder). Which one should i choose.. then I need books, sites, any kind of help/suggestions on the chosen language.. Please enlighten me developers! You all do great work for the community and I thank you for your time and input!
if you are looking for Android
you need Android SDK + Jave eclipse those are important to develop for Android
and there is some more softwares here in the XDA
APKTOOL etc
if you wanna edit apk (XML) Hex Editor is your choise
this is what i know
I was thinking of development I am completely new so perhaps that is the best route to go?

yup , 1st you have to know what is AndroidSDK , visit

and you'll get the basics
I started with vb, then c++, python, fortran, cobal, unix, and now java. Java is what Android apps run on. But vb will give you basic skills. c++ will teach you about everything else. My $.02
Thank you all for your posts now for another question! How did you learn? It looks like ill be messing with a little of all of them though it seems I may focus more on Java. Did you learn with a particular website? Prefered books? Thanks again!

School and old programmers. I could not have learned it from reading a book.
I'm a rather persistent guy.. I think I could learn from a book and perhaps ask a few questions on hereshould the need arise. I have a few friends who have some knowledge as well on the subject. I think I can self teach myself I just need to know some of the sources others have used. like java for dummies if that's any good or for that matter a real book..

Head first Java is a good book for beginners.
If you have no prior experience in programming, I would recommend starting with Visual Basic. The Code Project website is an excellent resource.
And if you are going to start with Visual Basic, then the MSDN website will have tutorials, code examples, etc.
guys he is going to develop for android i (Think) , why the heck he needs visual basic for ? android app only can develop by AndroidSDK and ECLIPSE(JAVA)
visual basic its for pc apps though

You start with basic cause it's just that, basic. Teaches you principle concepts. Things that you would already know if doing java. Taking a java class or reading a java book, they think you already know boolean logic. It's just a good base knowledge set to have.

Glad to know I have same people that know what their talking about helping me out! my friends have limited knowledge.

This is an Android and Windows Phone forum. There's only a minority of people on here with iPhones or iPads, so I'd imagine a very small number of developers. You're gonna get a VERY biased point of view on here.
What programming have you done before now, and why do you want to program for either platform?

I guess you could say neither are fun, writing out hundreds of lines of code, It's up to you, I mean, Android is a growing OS, and if you can develop a quality app you have the potential for more users, and IOS also has a large user base, The are no 'thrills' that one has over the other, but if you want to develop for IOS you must be using a Mac with xcode installed, otherwise to develop android you need the SDK and eclipse which is available on most major OS's (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Honestly not being funny here. Get a dummies guide, since you're starting from scratch. It's a MASSIVE field that you're entering and there's years and years worth of learning ahead of you, if you want to be any good. This isn't gonna happen overnight, and it won't happen easily.

If it's telling you to get a Java book then it's not a very good "Android for dummies" book. Xml is very straight forward and there's more than enough online to sort you out with that. It's only a way of structuring data, anyway.
The only real answer to your question is another question. What platform do you want to develop on?
The language and platform are irrelevant to the amount of fun or anguish that you will face while developing software.

I don't know much about Objective C but afaik (Someone correct me? ) it's based on C#/C++ so picking up those languages could be easier, Java can be used in Applets on the web, PC programs and games (eg. Minecraft) but, I think the same can be done with C++
And the reason the Dummy book told you to get the others is because the Android one is telling you how to use the java you should already know, but don't so that it can be more in detail, also I would say maybe skimp the xml one as it's mainly fairly simple in android as far as my experience is with it anyway (not much))

Nearly, but the wrong way round. C begets C++ begets C#. C++ is the language of choice for most developers that want to communicate directly with hardware. Other languages tend to actually be writting in C or C++ and therefore only have wrappers for the really low-level functions.
But yeah, any C based language or Java can be used to develop apps on PC, Linux, Mac, so they're both good ways to go. Java for Android means learning Java as well as the Android framework, whereas C for iPhone means learning C and the iPhone framework. Both come with their benefits and drawbacks, but personally I think Java is easier to learn than C, purely because it's not as deep. Saying that though, I've never looked at objective C or the iPhone framework. I just know C/C++ from old days.

I'm intrested in making Android apps..
Knows C , C++ and started learning Java.
Any Tips please??
Confused
Wish i can create my on OS some day
Getting Started
You are already well on your way knowing some other programming languages and starting with Java. I would go ahead and download Android Studio, which I prefer over Eclipse. Find some tutorials and start going through them step by step (I suggest Vogella). I also recommend The Big Nerd Ranch Guide. It is a great book for getting started. Best of luck to you!
