Q. Greetings,
About android developing, it needs Eclipse right?
I see there are lots of packages and the recommended is the classical Eclipse, I read that it supports Java Development Tools... and there is Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
The problem is that I want to learn how to develop android apps , I don't know Java but I have good experience with C++.
Where do I start with android?
What Eclipse package should I download?
Do I have to learn Java?
Thank you in advance.
A. The official Android development site has all the information and links you need to get set up for Android development, including instructions on downloading the correct Java SDK, setting up Eclipse, and configuring the emulator.
http://developer.android.com/index.html
Click on the SDK tab, then click "Installing the SDK" and follow the instructions.
Once you're all set up, then click on the Resources tab and click "Building your first App." This is an excellent hello-world introduction to Android development. I highly suggest working through each of the tutorials in the Resources section.
Have fun! :)
How do i set up the Android SDK?
Q. Hi, I want to start developing apps on the Google Android platform but I do not know how to set the SDK up. Can anyone give me a step-by-step guide?
A. After downloading the SDK, unpack the .zip archive to a suitable location on your machine. By default, the SDK files are unpacked into a directory named android_sdk_<platform>_<release>_<build>. The directory contains a link to a local copy of the documentation and the subdirectories tools/, samples/, and others.
Make a note of the name and location of the unpacked SDK directory on your system â you will need to refer to the SDK directory later, when setting up the Android plugin or using SDK tools.
Optionally, you can add the path to the SDK tools directory to your path. As mentioned above, the tools/ directory is located in the SDK directory.
In the home directory locate the .bash_profile and locating the PATH variable add the location to your $SDK_ROOT/tools folder.
Adding tools to your path lets you run Android Debug Bridge (adb) and the other command line tools without needing to supply the full path to the tools directory. Note that, if you update your SDK, you should remember to update your PATH settings to point to the new location, if different.
How to install apps to Android SDK?
Q. Is there a way to install apps to this android emulator?
A. it's actually very simple
1) note the location of the app (.apk file)
2) in a cmd console - go to the directory where you have extracted the android SDK to (if you do not have the sdk, download it from http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r1/index.html and extract it)
3) go to the tools directory
4) type 'adb install app.apk' where app.apk is the name of the application you want to install
