Android phone coding

Gregrs · January 4, 2016

I've only recently started programming, and from what I know currently, I can only make a console application. Not to it's full capabilities, but you know, simple console asking you a question, then you answering it and the console giving you a response. Stuff like that.

Sorry if I'm a bit confusing.

Regardless, I want to start learning how to make apps for android phones, and I'm pretty sure coding a console to do something isn't nearly the same thing as coding for an android phone.

Are there any places to learn how to code for android?

First and foremost, Android's development language is Java. So you need to learn and understand Java.

You need the Android SDK, which you can get from here: https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

You might as well download Android Studio.

I suggest reading up on Android development. It isn't the most difficult thing to do. I had some friends develop an app that lets you know about all local events (it's been done, but they were learning android development) and it took them about 3 months to get the UI working well, and incorporate ticketmaster and stubhub api into it.
