Sep 21, 2010I just started looking at the android framework and was wondering what was the best way going about getting good at it. I started with a text game and created a simple bubbleWrap game next. But am not sure if I'm going about it the right way now, so I thought I'd ask some of you more experienced Android people out here. Are there any courses online that would be beneficial? Any books that helped y'all?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How To Learn IPhone Development From Perspective Of Droid Developer?
Jul 31, 2010I consider myself an Android developer, after having created four apps and learned a lot by creating them. Now I've begun my venture into the iPhone app development world, and I don't remember the Android learning curve being this extreme. It doesn't help, though, that I was very familiar with Java and Eclipse whereas I hardly even know how to use OS X. I learn fast and I know exactly what I want to make, I just need the means to get there. I'm really floundering with Xcode and the new project templates (of which there are several, and I hardly know what they mean). I know there are many books and things out there for starting from scratch but I feel like my Android knowledge should count for something. Is there a good resource for learning the basics of iPhone development, given that I am quite familiar with the Android platform? I'm looking for anything that converts Android knowledge to iPhone knowledge; a table of UI element names in each platform, or of concept equivalents, or a compare/contrast of the frameworks involved, or anything that will increase the rate of learning given that I know the Android platform already.

Jul 22, 2010What has people's experience been in learning Android? I'd be interested in how long it takes to get to the point where you're writing your first app, and how the experience compares to learning some other programming API. I know several professional programmers who have tried to learn Android and failed. Is it inherently more difficult or larger than you might expect? But there's a survey here http://www.infoq.com/news/2010/07/Mobile-Survey that claims Android has the shortest learning curve of all smartphone platforms. I wonder how the survey guys could have got such a perverse and unlikely result. I have my own views and observations on this, which I'll mention as a dialog develops. I don't want to bias the discussion with my perspective at this point.

Android :: Learning Recommendations? Classroom? Tutorials?
Apr 4, 2010Does anyone have any recommendations for a class (online) or tutorial that teaches android programing for dummies?

Any suggestions would be great.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Best Book To Learn Programming
Jun 25, 2010Can anyone recommend a good Beginner Android programming book? When I was in college about 20 years ago I used to program a lot (Basic, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran). I dabbled a little bit in VisualBASIC about five years go, but it was really a hack. Now, I really have a burning desire to write some applications for my Android phone, but I really don't know anything about all the new programming technologies (OOP etc). I'm looking for a good book that will teach me modern programming using Java and the Android platform.
I've seen good books on learning Java 6 and some good books on programming Android (but they all seem to assume you know Java or C), but nothing that seems to combine the two. I'd really like to learn Java right on the Android platform to begin with if possible. I know there are a lot of resources available online but unfortunately much of the time that I will spend on this endeavor is when I won't have internet access so a good book would go a long way.
Android :: OpenGL ES Lagging - Learn ES 1.0?
Jan 22, 2010Why is support for OpenGL lagging so far behind with Android? I have ebooks that date OpenGL 1.0 ES back to 1997 or so. I don't understand why ~13 year old technology is what's being offered in the Android API. Could someone enlighten me? What's the best path for someone wanting to learn OpenGL ES 1.0? The ebooks I have are of course not oriented for Java/Android and most everything in them doesn't work when I try it. I can post some specific examples later but at this point I'm just wondering if I'm wasting time or if I should keep going and struggle through it. I have a tiny amount of OpenGL experience but it's with 2.0 and apparently things were very different back in the ES 1.0 world. I guess my question boils down to, is OpenGL ES 2.0 support coming to Android anytime soon? And what OpenGL ES 1.0 + Android learning resources already exist?
View 10 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Which GUI Framework Learn To Know Scripting / HCI?
Mar 6, 2010I have some knowledge about Human computer interaction and some basic knowledge programming scripts (Python) that run from start to finish and automate some tasks I want to do or calculations. In the past I built interfaces in HTML with PHP behind it. I would like my python scripts to evolve from the command line and build some applications with GUIs that would allow the user to drag files and push buttons to initiate operations and check progress graphically. Since I write my scripts in Python I looked at some of the options (Tkinter, wxPython, PyQt) but I can't make a decision between them to invest my time learn one and not the other. My criteria: Has a introduction for programmers for GUI (what are the differences from a script, examples of some simple interfaces). A framework that would allow me to run my programs on the platforms I use most (Windows) but that can also run on Mac and maybe Linux, without too much modification. If not the same, similar to how you program GUI for Android and/or Nokia smartphones. I'm planning to write some programs for these platforms in the near future so I would like to carry over some of the lessons here onto those platforms, if possible. I did find this previous question but none of the answers are satisfactory. Does any of the frameworks fit these requirements better than the others or are they essentially similar and I would be happy with any of them?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Which Mobile Platform Would Be More Rewarding To Learn As Developer?
Oct 1, 2009I am interested in getting my feet wet in PDA/mobile development.The only two drivers for me are the drive to learn cool (or at least, new) stuff, and may be to code some app that I felt I really needed but lacked. As such, I would like to know what the comparative benefits/downsides would be for me as a developer in choosing one of the three platforms (iPhone vs Palm Pre vs. Android.I will have access to any of the 3 but not to Windows mobile).This is not a duplicate of this question, since I do not care at all about that question's data points (cost of the handheld, popularity of the platform). Also, just to be clear, my goal is not financial at all - I don't plan to make money off of such development nor directly use the skills in the area I might obtain in my career (e.g. I work on stuff that has zilch mobile exposure and will remain so). So concerns such as "installed user base" are pretty irrelevant. All I care about are tangible (learning) and intangible (sheer joy of it) benefits to me as a developer.Also, please be positive and don't put down other platforms or otherwise use this as a holy platform war excuse. I have edit privileges and will mercilessly edit any un-backed-up-by-facts attacks on any platform that aren't downvoted.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGoogle Voice Recognition API - How Does Learning Work
Apr 14, 2012I am planning an app using the android speech input api (Speech Input | Android Developers). How the learning occurs? So for example initially my phone could not recognize proper nouns, local locations, uncommon names of my friends, etc, but now it recognizes all of these things so clearly it has learned. But are all of these words now available to other users?
I am envisioning an app when each of my users would be contributing to a database constructed by other users, so that a proper noun that someone else entered is now available to be recognized by someone who has never used my app, is this something I can count on happening automatically?
General :: How To Learn About Rooting On Nexus
Nov 24, 2013I am considering rooting my phone because I like to tinker with things and learn new things, just for fun.Aside from learning new things, I would like to also install apps that require root permission like greenify... I'd also like to learn enough to remove crapware from my wife's gs3, but not until I learn how to do it with a level of confidence on my own phone.
I have a Nexus 4 right now, and a 5 on the way. I also have a 2012 nexus 7.Generally, how easy is to learn about rooting on a nexus? Good phone or tablet to start with? Easy to recover from mistakes?
