I am starting the process of creating my first android app. My idea is to create a simple app that will display our school's lunch each day.
The site that has been of most help to me so far is the Android Developers page. They have a tremendous amount of very helpful resources. So far I have downloaded the Android SDK (software development kit) which includes all the tools to get started. I managed to get my phone connected to my computer so that when I run an application I have created, it is automatically installed on my phone. Getting the drivers for that to work was quite challenging. A tool called PdaNet had the correct drivers for my phone.
The SDK has a built in "Hello, World" test app that I was able to run and successfully see in action on my phone. I think all the pieces are now in place to start creating my app.
Note: While I am no expert in Java, I did go through Stanford's Programming Methodology course which should be of great help. I would highly recommend this class for anyone interested in learning to program in Java.
