knight_rider1 0 Posted July 8, 2015 Hi All!I want to learn to code Android Apps. I have no experience (aside from some BASIC coding back in school), but I have plenty of motivation. I've found thenewboston website and the video tutorials looks really good, but they assume some coding knowledge which I need to get before proceding.So, should I learn some C or JAVA first?Or feel free to tell me otherwise.I'd really like a plan of attack for the process of learning all this, as it's rather over whelming for a noob when presented with so much information and slightly differing opinions on what to learn first.Thanks in advance.Donald.

.:Cyb3rGlitch:. 755 Posted July 8, 2015 You can't really write an Android app in C, so Java it is! It's not the only option, but most examples will be in Java. I learnt Java by following the Stanford course here: https://itunes.apple.com/au/itunes-u/programming-methodology/id384232896?mt=10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kikz 86 Posted July 16, 2015 You could also develop in html/css phonegap/cordova, or xamarin. you're not limited to java. and you get the added benefit of multi-platform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArchangelOfTheLamb 16 Posted March 25, 2016 If you Google it, you'll find plenty of tutorials and tools online. Even though there are tools around which will allow you to develop apps without knowing Java, I don't see how you can seriously get into software development if you can't understand the source code. If you can't be bothered to learn a whole new programming language, at least learn about the concept of object-oriented programming. If you seriously want to get into it, have a look at the Android SDK (which is available for download from Google). You'll need a lot of this stuff anyway if you want to load and test certain apps and get into the more serious side of phone programming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
