thank you

If you are serious, look here:
http://www.amazon.com/Android-Programming-Books/lm/R3IDV45VDVAY3M/ref=cm_lmt_srch_f_1_rsrsrs0
also, the cost of the busy coder's guide is way off... it cost me like $30 so I don't know what's going on with amazon there...

why? i wud love to see this developed
about 150 views and no one answered..i think no one is interested in developing it..and i'm not so skill to do it on my own
Aaah not so fast bro.
Just take some patience
If you make it, people will get it. I come here day to day to check out new apps to mess around with.

I like the look of it, but have no developing skills so won't be able to help. A great idea though - stick with it.
I'm really like to have this one. Really COOL
Great Idea.. too bad you dont want to go through with it.. I love it!
ANY xda Devolopers takers on this cool app IDEA
and maybe if u post this thread to DEVELOPMENT & HACKING more might take this idea ?=
I think the simplist way to do this would be in flash, we know we can "tel:123 4567" so if the flash app just filled in the numbers it would be fine. I'd expect one of the awesome flash dev's on here to be able to throw it together, at least a basic working version, in a day or so. Would be a neat addon for fewidgets.
wow ... i like the idea!

Quick ? about android 2.0

I have been hearing a lot about 2.0 and was wondering if it was goin to come to the HTC Dream, or only to new phones with the droid platform. Really I was only interested in the new Maps with the navigation integrated into it.
wow fail for 3 reasons
1. WRONG SECTION
2. IF YOU PAYED ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU'D KNOW THE STATUS OF 2.0
3. READ!!! MAPS/NAVIGATION ALREADY WORKS ON DONUT
hehe that was fun
hahah i totally agree with the guy above me

Awesome! Just awesome
w0w the amount of noobs we get and have here is rediculous, I'm mean really this site needs some restructuring. New moderators/admins. I mean honestly this is getting out of hand, and automatic registration needs to be disabled and the people who are registering need to be reviewed, it would be hard to review the new members if there is a lot of registrations in one day. But this site should think about starting a sister site, like www(dot)android-developers(dot).com
Lol. Well, this made me laugh,
But don't gotta mutilate the poor boy now.
dang you pwned him lol
hehe amazing what a little red text can do
While I agree with the concept of search before you post... come on guys. Does it kill you to use a little tact? We were all noobs at one point or another.
Can't we all just get along?

No, I don't like noobs. I think the mods should start bringing down the ban hammer on them for these kinds of posts.

2nd...except i think we should flame the senior members who ask stupid questions
Yea sorry I dont sit in my gamer chair with two cell phones taped to my junk so i can get the full effect of "vibrating calls". I have a real job and dont have time to sit around forums all day to get my rocks off with new developments. I just want navigation on my maps and the easiest way to do it. Thanks anyway.

all you had to do was go on the first page of the android development section and you would've found it in a jiffy (yeah i said jiffy). and the search button actually helps you find stuff. learn to use it or you'll get torn a new one every time you make a stupid useless thread like this one. good day.

These are quite outdated since now jerpelea have left due to broken X1. And second thread does not have anything to do with developers left.
Anyway, i hope devs are only having exam period and they will be back soon. Or at least i hope we join with xdaandroid soon to boost development speed.
i have given up hope on the android for x1 when it went to a site that you had to join to access the files.
I went back to sony p1i, i found out i was spending to much time configuring the phone and i just needed to call and text.

We should buy it for jerpelea...
yeah, i miss my p1i for the reliability. apparently, the more complex the software (or OS) the more configuring, tinkering and tweaking is involved.
i might just get a non-android or non-windows phone just to get away from all this flashing just so i can spend more time talking/texting than waiting/configuring.
i love how i was able to quickly pull out my phone, right away send a txt, and put it away. now i am spending 3 to 4 times more time doing the same thing. i love my phone to death and tweaking has its upside, but i think i'm done for now.
don't worry i'm not getting an iphone.. i'll probably get a nokia n8.

I agree that would awesome to get jerpelea back to this project. But $350 for a 5 month old Xperia GTFO, you can get one brand new for cheaper. Edit: I just searched, hehe I guess you can't get a brand new one for $350, the lowest I found was 369 and the rest were $400+.
i have seen them for lower then €100 on a dutch sort of ebay

The best advice I can give you: Go in and get your hands dirty.
Grab the ADK by natalic
It contains ubuntu and all the developer tools you'll need to get started.
Grab an RUU from Shipped ROMS and try to port it to the hero. Check the resource in my sig for guides on porting.
You'll run into hundreds of problems, but if you're patient, and attempt to learn, you'll get through it with a terribly great understanding of HOW the file system works in Android.
Once you've gone through all that. You'll still end up with some problems that can only be fixed by having proper programming language understanding.
Go buy a book on C and JAVA. Read it, then read it again, then do the examples, then read it again, then try to fix your problems; and finally, share your findings with everyone here.

Start from the ground up, take apart some apps, ask friends if they are into Android and possibly find a developer to work with, my buddy Scary Alien and I are building multiple apps and it makes it more fun. Get some books if that is how you learn, I reccomend Apress books. And just have fun with it! Its not too hard but it does help to know basic algebra as you use lots of math in coding.
Cheers and feel free to PM me if you need some help along the way!
