[android-developers] Your favorite tutorials
What are your favorite Android development tutorial apps? I don't like
most of the Android tutorials I see. All too often, they don't work or are
explained poorly. Please post in this thread your favorite tutorials.
There are only a few that I've tried that I would recommend.
The first is Android web site's Hello World app at
http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html : works
without a hitch in Android 2.1
The second is the temperature converter app at
http://androidword.blogspot.com/2010/08/simple-temperature-converter.html
. It works with Android 2.1. The only things missing from this tutorial:
1. The Package Name you enter at the beginning MUST be de.vogella.android.
tempconvertor. If it isn't, you get error messages. (Note that the
Convert.java file has the line package de.vogella.android.tempconvertor;)
2. The Activity Name you enter at the beginning MUST be Convert. If it
isn't, you get error messages. (Note that the Convert.java file has the
line public class Convert extends Activity {)
The third tutorial I recommend is a simple two-button app at
http://blog.idleworx.com/2011/06/build-simple-android-app-2-button.html .

There are some very good OpenGL tutorials I like (not only for Android but many OpenGL ES tutorials do). But mostly I enjoy an application called Android UI Patterns which allows you to check open source libraries quickly and select one that suits your needs best. Comes handy in many cases for quick testing before downloading actual source code. -- H -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Your favorite tutorials
I can't honestly say that I know of too many good sources for Android tutorials.
F-Droid keeps a list of open source apps. While real apps are going
to be a bear to read, might as well start with the real stuff after
working through the basics, right? Real apps won't cut corners like
those tutorials do, and you'll get a full story,
http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/
I also generally think the API demos are pretty good at illustrating
things. As far as other tutorials, I think Mark Murphy's books are
fairly good, and I think those are a lot quicker way to learn things
about the Android ecosystem as a whole (considering that Mark seems to
have guides covering most topics that even tangentially relate to
programming Android apps)...
