Android Tutorials/References/Etc?
Well I just got an Android phone, and I'm considering learning the Android SDK, but I haven't found too many references that take you past a "Hello World". I've been looking at the documentation, but I'm looking for a little bit more . Anyone have references to recommend?

Re: Android Tutorials/References/Etc?
i also didnt find much in the way of tutorials, or they just arent being talked about/linked much. maybe these developers are keeping it up their sleeve, or maybe it just doesnt need it because its so close to what java people have already been doing.
I have been keeping up with the adobe flash > export to android side of things however. despite how well its performing already a lot of people dont take flash seriously due to the proprietary nature and masses of crappy flash games to reference.

How about
http://www.amazon.com/Android-Applicati ... _2?s=books
I bought this a few months ago and found it excellent to go through most of the essential elements of Android Dev development

Re: Android Tutorials/References/Etc?
It's simply because there's just not much to elaborate on lol.
The complication of developing for android does not extent too far beyond what java already does and what their simple demos show. If you're working with graphics OpenGLES2 is precisely like working with OpenGL.

Re: Android Tutorials/References/Etc?
Hmm, I guess I can just use my OpenGL book as a reference, since it fully covers OpenGL ES, and then use the docs. Thanks for the info, guys

Re: Android Tutorials/References/Etc?
Lynda.com has a great tutorial series for Android App Development by Lee Brimelow, owner of gotoAndLearn.com He is amazing at making tutorials, and I'm really enjoying them. I just got my new Inspire 4G on my birthday August 8th and I'm already learning some really cool stuff.
Definitely check it out.

Re: Android Tutorials/References/Etc?
I've only had a trial in the past, I really enjoyed it, but I can't see myself always watching videos enough for the price to be justified. I didn't exactly pay for these videos though... if you know what I mean.XianForce wrote:NiceLeonBlade wrote:Awesome!XianForce wrote:Haha!
