Develop Android Apps? How?

[tech0freak0]

I want to develop android apps, but don't know where to start.
I already know C and C++ language. But it all got boring that adding of numbers, arrays , string , memory allocation etc.

I also checked Java syllabus, its all similar arrays, string etc.

I always wondered how kids aged 12-13, make these fabulous apps???

which fabulous apps?

if you are talking about this one >
Indian kids build apps for Android, iOS - Tech2

It sucks, it has no endearing qualities apart from the fact that kids made it, not fabulous at all. And they got help from daddy.
any other ones?

Ok, I got your point, but what about Nick D'Aloisio. He made app when he was 17.
I want to know about app developing?? [MENTION=56202]Anorion[/MENTION] you are delveloper?

download the Android SDK, Eclipse
there are loads of tutorials online, start with any one
nope not a developer, but follow the news and these wonderkids usually have over encouraging parents and reporters who don't understand the full picture
made a small game on unity though, with a little c# scripting. Learnt by following video tutorials.

[tech0freak0]

yes
and XML too..

Great!! now you added one more language to list. XML!!

Now I have to jump from c++ to java

In Java too, addition of number, making stupid calculator, It all got boring.

I too learned C++ first and then java, it was smooth...
And XML is real easy...
For start just make a simple calculator with GUI..
Two TextBox, 4 buttons for {+ - * /} and one TextView for result...

Java is must to know when starting App Development in Android. Trust me, i thought it will be easy and jumped on the boat then only i realized there is lot to be learned in app making. XML is as easy as HTML.

XML for designing app and Java for working of the app.
