Java is a programming language. The more comfortable you are with the language, the better. JavaSE, JavaME, JavaEE, etc. are Java environments, combining a Java compiler, virtual machine, and class library. They all use the same Java language (for a given version of that language, of course). However, none of those class libraries are the same as Android's, so you do not necessarily need to know those class libraries to be able to program for Android. The closest traditional library is JavaSE, so what you have learned there may be helpful. > p.s. Do I need to know much about xml? You probably should know how to construct valid XML and read XML. You do not necessarily have to parse XML yourself in your projects, so you do not necessarily need experience with the XML parsers in Android. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ -- Available Now! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
