Getting started with Android development

I was a window designer from the very beginning, now the current trends dictate that I focus on new technologies and platforms.

My question is how to get started with Android development, and this can be done on a Windows PC with windows 7, if so, which tools do I need.

Customizing your tools:

  • Install Eclipse [NOTE: You can choose any IDE, but it is most widely used for Android development. IntelliJ is another IDE you could try. ]
  • Install the ADT (Android Development Tools) plugin for eclipse (assuming you decide to go with eclipse)
  • Update your Android tools with the Android SDK Manager
  • (optional) get an Android device to test your applications, since it is impractical to rely on the emulator completely.

Beginning of work:

  1. Since you are a Windows developer, you should be fluent in C #, so catching up with Java (in case you haven't already done so) should not be a big problem.
  2. Android developer website bookmark and never hesitate to check the documentation when in doubt
  3. Check out the code examples on the official website.
  4. You can follow the steps above when they go through the whole process.

Useful resources:

  1. Vogella Tutorials
  2. Thenewboston video tutorials [ Note: This is one of the best Android video series I've even found, so feel free to download all 200 videos. They are really very helpful! ]

  3. Mybringback video tutorials
