Personally, I'd start with 2.2 since new and recent devices are 2.2 and higher. 2.1 devices are slowly getting upgrades.. But for sure no earlier than 2.1
Regarding your 2nd question. Java with the Android SDK is the option if you want to fully use all functoinality. The Google Application Inventor (AI) is a good way to get your "feet wet" but for your app I expect that at some point you'll need to use the SDK. If you know any computer language then get an intro to JAVA book (several good ones are out there) to make the switch. If youhaven't done any programming then either use AI and realize that there are limitations (it's a teaching tool NOT a all encompassing development environment but does darn good) while you go take a Java class. Just one guy's opinion. Robert On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 5:29 AM, Kenneth Lor <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello all, > > My name is Ken, and i am completely new to android.
