I have no idea what you mean by this. You need the Android SDK to develop Android applications using the Java programming language. > 2.

No. If it works in the emulator and on devices, you can submit it to the Market. You do not need Eclipse to submit to the Market or otherwise distribute your application. > Is android similar to say C++ Android is an operating system. C++ is a programming language.

Your question is a Java question, not an Android one. Java uses import statements to "include" references to classes a given Java source code file needs. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming/Keywords/import > And last one: I tend to think of classes as having a particular > name. i.e FAMILY, where you could have a > mother,father,sons,daughters,animals, etc. And each one would have a > name associated with it (mother = "Jane", father = "Bill", son = > "Little Billy" etc. > Is this a way to think of what a class is? I really recommend you learn Java outside of Android before you try Android development. Your question is a Java question, or perhaps a general object-oriented programming one, not an Android one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming#Fundamental_concepts > What is the purpose of VOID? http://mindprod.com/jgloss/void.html http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Java_Programming/Keywords/void -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
