Getting Started With Android Programming

Hello Friends..
This is my new blog on Android Application Development. I am on blogger since 5 years and written several posts on poetry and free 3G .
Presently, I am an Android Developer at SARC Software Solution .
                   However there are are tons of video and online tutorials on android ,but still there is no any good fundamental post or video in any forum or blog so a beginner can learn the app development alone. So I am trying to give complete instruction with source code to start the development.



Setting Tools:-
Before you start you need the following tools:
1.JDK 5+
2.Android Developer tools
You can download JDK 7 from oracle's website and developer tool from android's website for windows.

Note:-Android Developer Tool contains Eclipse IDE and ADT Plugin.If you are having already installed jdk and eclipse then read the next post to integrate ADT Plugin .

Now install your jdk and then extract downloaded zip file (developer tools , adt-bundle-windows-x86.zip) into the C drive. Then open>adt-bundle-windows-x86>eclipse and right click on eclipse.exe and create a shortcut to the desktop and open it. You will see the screen like this-

Go to the upper left corner of the screen and close this welcome page .Then set your work space if ask.
Now you have finished 75% tool setup.Rest will be finished after writing first program hello 'android!'.

Go to file and select new>Android Application Project and fill the fields as shown below-

And click next again next,next and next then hit finish.
screen will show like this-

Now close this screen and go to window show view and select Package Explorer. And then select MyFirstApp>src>in.blogspot.thenewtechnoworld>MainActivity.


Now just click the icon below the, search alternatively you can go window>android virtual device manager.

Now select new ..You will see this window empty because yet you did not have created an adv But in this window two adv are there bcoz i have already created them.

Give a new to this adv , select a device , then target it as you wish select other options and then hit ok.
Now You have done almost all setups to develop your first app.

Now just select the green play like icon from your menu bar to run this app. Select run as a android application if asks. Now wait for a while you will see an hell word tag on the new virtual device .

Nice so you  finished your first app..
