Hello everyone, i wrote this bit for the people who are interested in android development with java(main language) but don't know where to start.
To start with android development i should say, no experience with java is needed, but i really prefer good understanding of programming (so c#/c++ or any other object orientated language).
First download the android sdk on
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html , Be sure to install the java developer kit,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Note, when installing the JDK (javadevkit) on x64, be sure to download the android sdk in zip format (so without installer).
I wrote this little guide for the software development environment Eclipse, when you don't got it yet,
http://www.eclipse.org/ (or continue without if you don't wish to use it).
Now i hope you already installed the JDK and or the android SDK, go to the install/extract folder and execute "SDK manager" the installation speaks for itself.(install all packages)
This little piece is from the official android website, i take no credit for it.
1. Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software....
2. Click Add, in the top-right corner.
3. In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for the Name and the following URL for the Location:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
Note: If you have trouble acquiring the plugin, try using "http" in the Location URL, instead of "https" (https is preferred for security reasons).
Click OK.
4. In the Available Software dialog, select the checkbox next to Developer Tools and click Next.
5. In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded. Click Next.
6. Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish.
7. When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.
Yay, you're ready to start developing the greatest android apps or just learning some new programming skills.
I should prefer to start with the following tutorial.
