Maybe offtopic isn't the best place for this.
Feel free to move it. I just thought its better off here as its more of a layed back sort of question.
Im new to android, but am I right in saying all android apps are written in java?
Or have I missed the point completely, again?
out of interest how many of you guys can write in a programming language?
If so, how long did it take you to learn?
My dad keeps telling me to learn, and thats its pretty easy but I just want some second opinions
Cheers guys
Yes all apps are written in java for android I think you should give it ago I would love to be able to write in java but don't know how to start to Learn it,
First, grab some books about OOP so you can get an understanding of why things are written in certain ways. Then, get one with Java.
Thats from what I understand anyways (I don't yet know Java, but I am trying to learn at some point!)
This is how i learned

http://ibiblio.org/java/javatutorial.html
There are 87 videos total...It took me about 6-8 months to learn it and im still learning more about it everyday

haha i tried to start with a book and i just didnt like it at all. The videos helped me learn it a whole lot better than just reading it in a book or on a screen.

lol yeah i looked at the second link with all the text and was like ummm... i'll pass but the vids are good on number 3 now shame i have to wait for all the downloads to download to try out though
Oh man thanks allot Austin021296!
The problem with me is I dont like starting things, once i get going im fine.
So picking up a book full of writing is a bit... Boring
But these videos have made me want to learn a whole lot more, so now im happier about reading endless pages of text
Thanks again, man

Actually I have little knowledge in java. But if you want something so bad, go get a book on android's sdk and get to some reading.

you are the very embodyment of what is wrong with the internet.
If you want it that much, get studying already. Learn the OOP basics, learn java (it's really not that hard) and start practicing just like everyone else by...for example....making a notepad or filemanager.

Looks like someone learned about the ellipsis in grammar class today. Oh wait, excessive ellipsis usage is part of your online persona, hence the screenname "Dotdevil". Neat.
Im shoked..... that my original post.... i agree that a mafia wars type of game should be made.... a simple requst being that there is an actuall thread to where people can request / give ideas about apps..... all this was .....was a simple game... hope that someone with the time or someone that needed a new project ... would step up if was willing to.......It wasnt a stupid game or a dumb idea....

To everyone out there on my post blowing it up with loads of bull, your ignorant. If your not going create the app then stop waisting time posting stupid comments in reference to my post. Your waisting my time and yours. All I asked was if someone could I would greatly appreciate it, that means if you cant or dont want to then dont reply at all. Ya'll childish as crap. Stop complaining and ranting and move on with ya life.

How do I forward this comment to my inner thoughts? Do I need one of those cool $700 - $1000 CAR RADIOS with (fm transmitter)?
At least I can understand why my question is an invalid one, but it is very funny to me that you're trying to make fun of me without even knowing what you're making fun of. Building a flash light app is way beyond your level of comprehension of anything. I do feel bad for your son, his own father cannot construct a simple question or make sense in an argument. I do hope your persona is just a joke because you sir are a sad excuse as a human being.

Mods, nuke this whole thread, please. Bring XDA back to what it was. This whole place is a joke now.
I'm closing the thread guys.. this is ridiculous, 2 pages of flaming and arguing..
Please, Please be respectful and try to be helpful..
Okay so since were all friends here and were all bffls and best friends I have a question... can I barrow some lunch money? Naaaa kiddin I'mma ask people for cash tomorrow but fo real fo real?
The G1 is really... really... really boring.
I mean less be on is. How manyof you are still amazed by your G1 as you used to be? It's like milk, that expires today... it's still good for 5 days but your like ehh... what the hey... ya knew?
That's how I feel with my G1! It's nice and all but I know theres better... So do you guys suggest anything to make me love my phone again... maybe more then I love myself? I mean idk Rachel (however you spell it idk any grls named Rachel) UI looks pretty and all so I mean that might look good but Androids just getting old. Do you think it's not meant to be or something?
I mean maybe me and my G1 aren't meant to be...? So yeah. Post a reply thinking what I should do... because were friends and don't forget...
FRIENDS DON'T YELL AT FRIENDS FOR MAKING STUPID POSTS!
So as a friend, pwease hewp mees. Pwease? =)
And also, put a smilie at the end of your post... it makes me feel special and feel like were friends... I like having friends =)
Sorry if the post is long but dude I'm so mad right now man! No signal just sucks! Anyway, THANKS BFFSS!
xD
Is yours rooted? I find tethering is something I use a lot, and a love the fact my G1 has access to 3g all the time (atleast in my area). Hooking it up with my laptop has made my day to day tasks much easier what with school and work and whatnot. Also if it's rooted you get some other cool stuff, if I find playing with my phone isn't giving me as many thrills as it used to I switch themes every now and then..
Youtube is always fun to mess around with, when I'm bored ill watch videos n' junk. Browse the market to see if any new/cool apps or games have come out..
The only thing I would wish to improve with this device is the browser. It's not quit up there with the iPhone in my opinion.. but the OS is still pretty kickass in general.
Im just now messing around with the SDK.. just did the hello world tutorial not too long ago and messing around with the 2.0 emulation (which when released or cooked it's gonna rock) Maybe if you're bored with it, download the SDK, take some time to learn it and develop something (Easier said than done).. but why not increase your knowledge while exploring the device, friend?
Sorry if this post seems weird.. First time browsing XDA on a high dosage of lorazepam. Everything seems so nice

Ughhh man. Tethering is suchh old news I been ROOTed! I hate the Mobile YouTube eww bro. I've done the App Market thing... gets boring. The Browser is okay. Hmm, send me the links for Developing and SDK's pwease bff? And friends don't judge friends by their Posts and how new they are. When I started at my new school nobody judged me by the clothes I wore (although I swagg out for 1st Impressions!) What's umm Lurah-Zee-Pamela? And yes, we try to be nice and friendly here. Thanks for the smilie! =]
Heres a thought: get into development. I got into development for the G1 8 or 9 months ago, and I've never had any point at which I thought "well, this phone is boring now".

I mean, my Reading/Language Arts/Social Studies teacher says we should all work on increasing our knowledge because our brain is something we don't want to waste... really nice lady!
I'm thinking of getting into development but like in a way my brain is tired so so much I dont know how I'm going to store all of this information. Can you provide me some links for how to make Themes, ROMs, etc...? And Kusotare, where is your smilie because I can't seem to find it friend! =/
Ok now I have Android SDK downloaded and it's doing something. Please please PLEASE somebody send me some links so I know how to develope ROMs and Themes. I know it'll be a little hard but I am willing to put in a lot of hard work to work on ROMs like Rachel UI and Eclair so that I can get things people want a lot. I honetly want an Eclair ROM more then anything right now. I have a friend whos dad works for MOTOROLA, he's going to pass me a MotoCliq tomorrow and a MotoDroid probably Monday or Tuesday next week. I can't wait for those two, I'm going to try to help developing for that and I'll still hook you guys up with some G1 ROMs and all. Anyway, please somebody be a good friend as I know all of you are and provide me some links, my E-Mail is [email protected] so you can send then there, thanks! =)
With the release of the 2.1 with camera and the new kernel. I've found myself checking this forum every chance I get. It has become so addicting that I can't even think of anything else. Almost once every hour, I get on my laptop pop open my browser and goto xda-developers.com (even in my sleep!). "Did they fix facebook sync?! or maybe video recording!" I ponder in my head as the page loads, secretly crossing my fingers. "Alas not yet, no worries I'll check again in another hour (or maybe 45 minutes)" Making sure I have the LATEST has become more important than meals. My friends don't recognize me anymore, not one shares in my excitement when I say LIVE WALLPAPERS! I don't know what to do. Someone please help.
I hope you are being sarcastic? If not, try getting a girlfriend My girlfriend has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend on here

I remember when I 1st came here , i started looking for games and apps. I found a whole bunch of freeware I liked. On my own time I started learning how to program games on my own. I work normal job and didnt have alot of time to learn how to code. When I made games for myself , I decided to upload them here to share. Most of the games I made where short 1-3 levels, thats all the time I had. Of course you have people who dont like the game and say its sucks. After a while you get tired of it , and respond like ok it sucks so why dont you make a better one.
Then its like people start following you around and fXXXX with you. Then I go to another website and they follow me there to start more shXt. Honestly its like alot of people are sick in the head. If you dont like the games I make,why follow me around and download more of my games and so ohh it sucks. Its like if you dont like what I do, why keep searching my name.
What I hate the most is if I respond , then more people jump in and say Iam wrong. Now I'll admit when I go off , i go off the deep end. Iam wondering is it just windows mobile users or is it like that everywhere.

Hello, Zarpy.
I'm brand new as a member here, although I've derived a lot of information at this site.
I belong to many forums, as you do to, I gather. Some are well moderated, often with aggressive staffers who are dedicated to keeping the types of behaviors you mention out of the threads. Those are the forums I prefer.. they are not perfect; we'll still see a bit of it before it's caught by a mod, and we'll also see language such as you're using, which I find crass and immature.
If complaints to the administrators of a forum cluster such as this one do no good at all, I'd rethink my participation there, especially if being stalked and harassed by users as you say you are.
because people are XXX.. dont worry about them just keep doin what you're doin

hi everyone,
i really really love someone in my year but dont know how to talk to her, ive never really talked to any girls. We are friends on facebook and i was going to talk to her today but shyed off. its half term now so wont see her for a week should i just tell her that i love her on facebook as i dont think i can hold it in for a week, im missing her already
any help is appreciated
thanks
Don't tell her you love her straight away dude... That could get creepy
I take it you're from the UK if you broke up today? And I take it you found this site because you googled relationship advice and came across Alan's threads thinking this was a dating advice site
Some nice deducctions here eh?
You might want to start with saying "Hi", everything else will follow after that.. I suppose you know how to talk right, so that won't be a problem. You've got to learn to step over your shyness anyway, this seems like a nice way to start
How 'bout practise on some other girls too first
how do you love her if u never talked to her? how old are u ?
