Hello, I would like to ask you, could you please recommend me any good and up-to-date Java Course or book for learning? I really like Android but I can't move without Java. I know little bit of C# and Python. I would highly appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thanks

There's 2 decent ways for searching the forum for this...
1) Try the "XDA Search Plus" feature via the following link and just use simple words like "Guide Java" for example.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/
2) Try the Google search with the site specific variable.
The following is an example of this with searching for "Guide Java".
https://www.google.com/search?q=Guide+Java+site:forum.xda-developers.com
The "Guide Java" is only an option. You can always use words like Tutorial, How To, etc... as I only stated an example.
Good Luck!

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my Enigma Machine {aenigma = Latin for "Riddle"}.
@sagarleo1 Thank you. Which app do you mean? From Sololearn, SD college, APKZube? Thanks

I actually just started re-teaching myself Java a few weeks ago! Took a class when I was in high school and wanted to build on that foundation. The book I'm using is called "Java: A Beginner's Guide, Seventh Edition". Its based on JDK9 (JDK11 is the most current version), but all of the fundamentals are there. I highly recommend this book as its been a great resource for me. Best of luck in your learning!
I would recommend Thinking in Java, just reading the book and practice with some starter projects will be enough (which is how I learned java).

I'm a creeper on the forums and i look up to you people...and Recently i saw a story on how the number1 iphone app was created by a fourteen year old.
It got me thinking.. and i really want to try this but i have absolutely zero coding experience..
I know it sounds noobish to say but all the devs on this forum had to start somewhere.. they didnt just magically get their talents.
What i'm asking for are tutorials, references, guides, even books, on how to develop android applications from scratch.
Please dont overlook me.. i just want to learn.
I have the android sdk and eclipse set up and linked together.
I even have app inventer.
Any help is appreciated
I'd recommend starting with the tutorials on the Android Developers website http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html. In the left column there are 6 tutorials that are quite good. I'd reccomend doing Hello World, Hello Views, Notepad Tutorial, and save the others for later. After that, your best bet would be to get an idea in your head and go for it. If you have questions the best place to ask is on IRC in #android-dev. Outside of that, google is your best friend. Just search for what you want to do.
Hope this helps!
Tutorials are usually a good way to learn what you can start doing.
After you get some basics and know how to search for certain functions/commands, then you can start thinking about what type of app you want.
A lot of books (I just glanced over them at the bookstore) suggested thinking of what you want the app to do and then designing the general User Interface on paper. And after the UI is in your mind, you can start programming.
thanks to both of you for the help really appreciate it.. people seem to ignore the noobs but anybody can learn.
ill put my ideas on paper first.
And ChainsDD what is the IRC in #android dev?
IRC is internet relay chat. To quote Wikipedia:
Wikipedia said:
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a popular[citation needed] form of real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing.[1] It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels,[2] but also allows one-to-one communication via private message[3] as well as chat and data transfer (including file sharing).[4]

There are many clients out there to connect to it, but I believe that XChat is cross-platform and quite good. Here's the website for it. The quick start guide on that page will get you online, but choose freenode as your network, as that's where #android-dev is. There's also #android for general android discussions, and #android-root for root discussions.
I would recommend you to start with the basics. With that I mean Java applications for the command window. It's easy to set up and use to learn basic stuff like data types, operators and class structures. Search for "basic java programming" or likewise and you will find a lot of good (and bad) tutorials.
For example: Java tutorial for beginners - Introduction
When you have learned to write a simple program in Java use the Android tutorials to learn how to use Google's Java libraries. The three tutorials ChainsDD mentioned are a good start.

Not all of us
Real Dev's code in Python (j/k)
But they all stated good things - pretty much pick a programming language and start from there. If it's Android development it is going to be Java (ugh).
If your serious about wanting to develop? I would recommend C++ as the language to get involved with. From there it is easy to branch off to other languages.
There is a TON of free material on the internet (that isn't pirated even) to help you get started. Compilers, code samples, documentation.. there is virtually no limit to the amount of data that is out there.
The trick is... A) to figure out what you want to do and B) remained focus on your goals and keep working at it. Coding is NOT easy (I can't code my way out of a wet paperbag - but I understand it) but can be very rewarding both personally and financially
So good luck!

Nah, I code for years and didn't get any of those rewards.. just lame jobs and no life!
To all programmers,
I am a Young fellow interested in getting into software development. However, I don't know where to begin.. There's C++, java, and python all supposedly good languages to learn (c++ being a bit harder). Which one should i choose.. then I need books, sites, any kind of help/suggestions on the chosen language.. Please enlighten me developers! You all do great work for the community and I thank you for your time and input!
if you are looking for Android
you need Android SDK + Jave eclipse those are important to develop for Android
and there is some more softwares here in the XDA
APKTOOL etc
if you wanna edit apk (XML) Hex Editor is your choise
this is what i know
I was thinking of development I am completely new so perhaps that is the best route to go?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
yup , 1st you have to know what is AndroidSDK , visit
code.google.com
and you'll get the basics
I started with vb, then c++, python, fortran, cobal, unix, and now java. Java is what Android apps run on. But vb will give you basic skills. c++ will teach you about everything else. My $.02
Thank you all for your posts now for another question! How did you learn? It looks like ill be messing with a little of all of them though it seems I may focus more on Java. Did you learn with a particular website? Prefered books? Thanks again!

School and old programmers. I could not have learned it from reading a book.
I'm a rather persistent guy.. I think I could learn from a book and perhaps ask a few questions on hereshould the need arise. I have a few friends who have some knowledge as well on the subject. I think I can self teach myself I just need to know some of the sources others have used. like java for dummies if that's any good or for that matter a real book..

Head first Java is a good book for beginners.
If you have no prior experience in programming, I would recommend starting with Visual Basic. The Code Project website is an excellent resource.
And if you are going to start with Visual Basic, then the MSDN website will have tutorials, code examples, etc.
guys he is going to develop for android i (Think) , why the heck he needs visual basic for ? android app only can develop by AndroidSDK and ECLIPSE(JAVA)
visual basic its for pc apps though

You start with basic cause it's just that, basic. Teaches you principle concepts. Things that you would already know if doing java. Taking a java class or reading a java book, they think you already know boolean logic. It's just a good base knowledge set to have.

That's right, forgot about that. Tons of free stuff
so what I'm getting is I should develop on pc first visual basic is a good starter. Interesting, Now I have a few sources on all of them except C++ which though I may not mess with it immediately I may take a peek at it anyways. Glad to know I have same people that know what their talking about helping me out! my friends have limited knowledge.
Hi friend i want you to tell me how to add custom font in android app development in eclipse , i want to use my font but i dont know to code it in java, i used method of get assest after i put the custom font in font folder in assest folder but when open app it hang and force closr*
Hi friend, I kindly would like to ask you to fulfill your majestic demand.
so, to find a help, you should start to learn how to use the word: "please", as the beginning of your requests, your majesty.
Secondly, if your magnificence will learn that, it may be a good idea to learn how to use search function in this forum. After years of learning, you should be able to find That. More years spent on the learning how to read with understanding, your majesty, and hopefully you will deiscover that the mentioned thread leads to Secret Place, where no java coding knowledge is required to make your own fonts for android device.
I hope, that my servant's advice would please Your Majesty, if not, please disregard this what was wrote by
Unworthy Servant of Your (pathetic) Majesty

This is how I started: I originally learnt Java by doing the tutorials on the Sun (I think now Oracle) site. For Android, I did a 'hello world' tutorial on the Android developer site to get a grip on roughly how to get something running. Then I chose an App to make, made some rough designs and just dived in. Like anything else, the first one you do is a mission and after that you've got more of a clue.

I doubt that RSS will help you much. You need to learn Java and a bit of Web development, and also databases. Yes, you need to learn a lot to do a good app for auctions.
So I am quite new to this forum and because I got a new android phone I wanted to start to learn some android app programing. I wanted to ask is there a site, besides googles tutorial site, that teaches you how to program in Android Studio? Also what's the best site to learn JAVA and HTML, which I see is needed to program in AS?
Thank you
P.S. I searched and didn't find any thread that answered my questions, but if someone finds it feel free to post it here.

Bitfountain "The complete android course", google it since im new user and cant provide any outside link.
coupon = "PRESALE" to get 82% off, i highly recommend it since it was taught based on android lollipop, cheers
I actually just started with Android studio also and im following Google's tutorial.. Ive already learned alot of html from learning one thing, then testing it. Might work for you too-its not gonna come quick
Well, I too have a bit of idea regarding development in android studio as its development is quite similar to IntelliJIdea. Although I am also looking for some good tutorial.

go to mybringback.com site, or you can search his tutorial video series called "the new boston series", you can learn from the beginning from his videos. He use eclipse, but it's not much different with android studio
sorry for my bad english
I am learning Android Development on Android Studio since over a month and I have to say its very nice IDE. It's a bit heavy though but has everything, and code reviewing is better than in Eclipse. For sure it doesn't really matter which IDE you will use, stick with the one that you like to work with and everything will be fine. Google toturials are great same as there is lots of them on youtube. It took me a while to understood Gradle System but it's not that complicated as it look.
I am also learning on the Android Studio IDE. I like it a lot considering I am usually known to do things from the command line. I do not think I would want to do that with an Android app though, much better to have lots of tools to test and get better support.
I am going to take a look at some of these recommendations tonight as I have only been using the tutorials on googles site but they seem to be missing a bit of detail. Like at one point they tell you about the action bar and to use a function openSearch() but never define it like they define everything else. They also never tell you to make it on your own, so it feels a bit annoying that we do not get to have the satisfaction of completing that particular tutorial.
hi
welcome to you in this site you must be find your solution here. if you learn to programs in android apps you should be contact the programmer of android studio
