Get Started Developing Your First Android App

Play-Store

It is indisputable that an almost endless selection and variety of apps is a major part of the Android platform. This has gotten so impressive that other mobile operating systems and new OEMs have decided to jump on the bandwagon by adding Android app support. We’ve now seen this with Jolla Sailfish, the once dominant Blackberry, and Nokia with their freshly announced X lineup. Hence, we totally understand your uncontrollable excitement to be part of something so awesome.


Where should you get started at and what should you do if you’re an app developing rookie who wants to create the next viral app? Well, you may want to check out XDA Senior Member Rachid.Ala’s tutorial on developing your first Android app. It’s written with the beginner in mind, teaching you how to create a very simple Android app that does nothing more than display the classic, “Hello World.” What’s important to take away from this guide are the very basics of app development, which lay the foundation to more complicated and creative apps in the future.


Rachid.Ala does a great job explaining all the tools and software required for your first Android app, including JDK, Eclipse, and the ADT plugin. Plenty of screenshots are given along the way, as well as examples of code. It should also be noted that the guide is written for Windows PC users, so if you use another PC OS, you’ll have to tweak the instructions a little.


So if you can’t wait to finally get started on your very first Android app, make your way over to the original thread for more information.
