Learn how to develop for Android, Beyond HelloWorld

[milosc91]

Anyway, i dont know english very well, but i will learn to programing for Android! Cheers! :D

[milosc91]

10 people dont like green Android alien! :)

[krneki6954]

but it has a learning value, thats for sure. good job, keep it up

[krneki6954]

nice video, but one can tell you're not full time developer. the amount and kinds of errors you do when you write your code... it just gives you away. like typing three lines with .setOnClickListener(this) for example. any developer would just copy/paste it. and the "switch" fail.

also if one is developing for a longer period of time, code conventions become part of him, so "okButton" or "buttonOk" becomes a no-brainer. having trouble with clear-cut code conventions tells something about you

[wakmikmakh]

@krneki6954 its probably because he's not a codehead programmer, he's more like a pro in terms of concepts and ideas...

[ferdf57]

@krneki6954 Well Mr. Knows everything about developing... Why the f#@* are you watching this?

[CptSupermrkt]

This is a must-watch, start to finish, for anyone interested in beginning Android programming. Thanks a million Marko. You probably could have packaged this up and sold it like a tool, but instead you just made it openly available on YouTube like a boss. Best programming tutorial I've ever seen.

[allosvenne]

Blablabla...

[AdArViPoD]

asta la vista.

[thisisUll]

Thanks Marko, saved me a week, not to mention the bits that don't work, you saved us from a straightjacket there. 

[damek132]

He sounds Polish to me!?

[krneki6954]

@damek132

i doubt he is polish. i'd say some of ex-yugoslavian countries, probably serbia?

[heartlessvinne07]

10 people must be iphone users... ^^

[FOUADSPIDER]

I really start falling in love with android.

[scp443]

wow! Super helpful tutorial.

[db127100]

best tutorial ever! you are my hero :)

[SPPoncho88]

@webbypictures .. it was Bill Gates mashing the "dislike" button 5 times .. looks like he's done it another 5 times since .. =(

[diegonimus]

What is better between netbeans and eclipse?

[dobermann800]

3 billion devices run on java. None of them are Apple products...

[IVIUPPET]

@dobermann800 fuck apple...

freedom > communism

[TheJrDream]

Great tutorial. Is your workspace (the one you mentioned at 192.168.1.180/) down? I don't seem to be able to access it.

[saulzi]

@TheJrDream 192.168 is a local ip,

[saulzi]

[goranvu]

Terribly low volume

[swampthings]

Marko, you are awesome!!! Thank you!

[benc1012]

Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial I've ever seen! I'm only 13 and easily follow and perform what this video teaches

[barrosc5321]

what program is he using and where an i get it?(free perferably)

[DesigningTheWeb]

@barrosc5321 He is using Eclipse, with an Android add on. Just google Eclipse and download the Classic version.

[racing67p]

i love how youtube will only let you go over 10:00mins when its something to do with google.

[sheetrit45]

well done!!! The first 90 minutes were great! The last 30 minutes of the video were a little fast for me to keep up with. Would appreicate a beginner's tutorial to saving data...with a pace/skill level more similiar to the first 90 minutes of the vid

[t3knifi3dj1]

You sir just made my favorites list :D

[ArrasandoAlterado]

its funny how all android app development videos are made from a apple computer hahaha

[Newbrict]

I really appreciate this video :)

[mick444ez]

little glitch in making clear the implement onClickListener Class has to be inported as a view class and the button class must also be imported explicitly...and i do not like the way they hot-code 'hide' these imports... also did not show how horizontal alignment of text-view (not button) obejects could be aligned beneath a layer-view.. yet still a very informative tutorial.

[D200P13]

i was wonder if someone could link a easy example of how to make a soundboard with tabs. i am able to do a basic soundboard but have no clue on how to add an "activity" or "page". the problem is i have 2 projects (open source) of a soundboard and simple tabs. i dont know how to merge the 2. i also have tons of audio files in the soundboard.java file causing a noticeable wait before the soundboard loads. was wondering if i need a soundboard2.java with a link or tab to it to ease the load time.

[klopo333]

192.168.1.180 is an internal ip, so only people on you network can join



[klopo333]

1:07:40 i love to code

[klopo333]

@klopo333 maybe it works with 67:40

[Aefan69]

9 people are iphone users

[tuttar3]

Why is the sound quality so bad?

[vioxify]

i have my macbook pro volume at the max and i have trouble hearing xD

[Aefan69]

@vioxify mac is the problem. no sound in videos about android xD

[nesportskid]

this video is awesome.

[galloan]

i got lost at db helper but everything before that was solid

[moofymoo]

ok, but title is misleading.

i'm watchin this already for 15 minutes and they are still starting up emulator and explaining what the hell Activity is.

[Grundy923]

My linear layout has horizontal fill parent and when i change the weight of the buttons inside it there is no change. what gives?

[Grundy923]

I can't figure out how to get my buttons inside of the linear layout. I don't have those icons in the outline window.

[SeleneaoSil]

@Grundy923 don't know if you still need answer but just in case... try drag and drop, take the buttons and drop them inside the linear layout :)

[paru155]

How to avoid force close pop up regarding process??

[venkatesh36963]

now 8 people doesn't know it!

[sm82044]

what library do we import so we can declare gui objects

[babyface602]

@sm82044 if you are using eclipse you will see warning when you declare a component which tells you the package(s) you need to import...

[petjadakovic]

Awsome tutorial,just whait i needed... :)

[shaxmitra]

GREAT ! Very good indeed :)

[Hereson0]

Never mind, I found the answer - Thanks for the great tutorial. Lasted for an hour~ XD

[Hereson0]

Do you have to know the programming language Java if you want to work with android? Since I had seen a couple of .java files at 18:30 Thank you

[zackthebuddha]

42:25 

[webbypictures]

5 people dont know what android is

[atulweapon]

@webbypictures make it 9 now...and god know how many idiots later

[skepticlogician]

@webbypictures Actually, 10 people now... =)

[Ki11Babies]

Man,.... I am trying to keep up, but the version of eclipse I have is much different, I find myself looking for the "children" LOL, but their names are different. I have figured it out. Thanks for the video. Great help!

[mateja82]

Very nice video, nice explaining methods! Finally a tutorial with my equipment combination - mac and eclipse :)

Btw, Marakana means you´re a Red Star fan, doesn´t it? :)

[sabin97]

@DJloveDrew

perl doesnt really define your stile, it merely adapts to however you want to program.

hmmm i've never tried dragonfire either

i tried the pop-cap framework, cant remember why i stopped....

it was a pain to get eclipse to work, so i'm not quitting eclipse anytime soon. gotta do more reasearch there must be at least one framework that works with c++ for android. all i want is to avoid java.

[siliconsurf]

@DJloveDrew it's the foundation to be a total douchebag n00b. Seriously, you have to be a fucking MORON if you do a hello world bullshit.

[sabin97]

@DJloveDrew

try perl, it's like java in terms of cross-platform but it respects your intellect :D

i plan to eventually learn lisp, as paul graham tends to recommend everyone.

what's keeping me from batterytech is the $250 it costs, and there's no trial version....so still trying to get feedback from those fortunate enough to have $250 to burn on something unknown.

may the source be with you

[sabin97]

@DJloveDrew

i gave java 2 chances. one was on my own, and i detested several design choices sun made. i dont like having to create a thousand objects i'm not gonna directly use just to get the one object i'm gonna use(horrible experience with sockets). i dont like how it talks down to you like you're dumb or something.

the other experience was at a professional level, i saw what "tomcat" did to a poor server. when that thing was running the server was pretty much useless :(

[sabin97]

@DJloveDrew

thanks for the reply, but there's something called ndk for android, it allows for c++. my guess it that android somehow turns it into java so you lose all the performance benefits, but at least you're not enslaved into java :)

i'm currently investigating more on something called batterytech, which is supposed to be a c++ framework that allows you to compile into native android(no java), and iphone, windows and apple os. might be worth it

[siliconsurf]

hello world is so useless....

[MorrinWellSmith]

@siliconsurf yeah i bet your smartass is born with all the worlds knowledge and can skip all begining tutorials.

It does nothing special but it`s not useless.

[Jonathanws18]

@siliconsurf you are no programmer.

[siliconsurf]

@Jonathanws18 you are a fucking moron

[Jonathanws18]

@siliconsurf wow. touche.

[sidg11]

@sabin97

I believe the answer to that is no

[sabin97]

is there a way to use a language other than java(perhaps c++ or even c#) for android?

i have my eclipse setup working, but i'd much rather use c++ if that were possible...

[macgyver2210]

Excellent video. Helped me a ton.

[DoubleJStudio]

how do you get that properties pane on the right side? My eclipse doesnt say it and it makes it more of a hassle to change properties

[aguywithhatson]

4 people are iphone app developers....who didn't their homework LOL

[MyRsIrl]

I assume 98729 people, has done the required homework.

[titer2008]

this tutotial is on mac!!

have a mac is one of my dream!!

[Mercetron]

It's a video about android development and it's "unavailable for mobile"? :)

That's rather dumb. Was looking forward to watching this away from the computer.

[Oskar619]

My Eclipse doesnt have te option of moving the button (or any graphical item) to anywhere you want, it sticks to a side, or center. How do you do it to have that freedom on moving the graphics?

[VitaliyZhitar]

4 people have not done the homework.

[ross8687]

what is your website with all of you scripts on it? i tried to put the number you said in the video and got "Problem loading page." im just wondering if maybe you took it down or something.

[OuterHell]

thanks for this video. It helped me understand more the first basics about android development. Thanks and keep sharing

[slimjim2406]

for the portion @ 1:31:45, you can just use gravity | center in the XML editor.

[Khorask]

Great vid, learned a lot :)

[rrgert4]

basically i need eclipse, and developer SDK ? all i need ?

[cartmanland91]

@rrgert4 duh...

[PharaohNnamdi]

@rrgert4 Android sdk+Android plugin for Eclipse(ADT)

[rrgert4]

@PharaohNnamdi

yep, gonna wait it out til we have java in school.. so you dont get lost in the thousands of commands :D

[SoulofaDeity]

Epicness indeed, but did anyone notice he had a perfect english accent for like the first 5 minutes like instantly went dr. jekyl and hyde?

[dmulcahy05]

27.textScore.setText(String.va­lueOf(score)); 28 textScoreCard.setText("");

On these two lines, I have a red line underlying the words setText - The method setText(String) is undefined for the type textview.

Any solutions for these errors. Thanks.

But the rest of my code for this project tutorial is correct.

[MrYousafBajwa]

bah i have to go back and sttudy java all over again -__-

[knucklessg1]

How do you make it to where if you click Button1, it will open a New layout that i have created?

[USMarines12994]

I believe you said you were working with the Android 1.6 SDK. Have you made a new video for a later version of the SDK?

At 1:22:26 what is the keyboard shortcut for organizing the imports?

[d1ngess]

@USMarines12994 ctrl + shift + O

[Jcordeiro55]

@USMarines12994 ctrl + shift + o on Windows and command + shift + o on Mac.

[ThaGameZkiller]

i want to make a game. not a program

[xsdejan]

Guy has totally Serbian accent?

[Dcdatruth85]

I want to learn how to port an app from windows mobile, Im not sure how this will help me accomplish this. But i am open to new information.

[knucklessg1]

Lets say i have 3 options in the main.xml

1.Play Game

2.Read Rules

3.View Score

How do i make it to where when i Press 1, it will bring me to ANOTHER main.xml and begin letting me play my game?

[patstcool0805]

@knucklessg1 thats what i want to know... get any help yet?

[knucklessg1]

Can't find the stupid + and - signs in the outline tab to add my children to the new parent. What do i do in the XML File to change it?

[knucklessg1]

@kezkez4 YEah, you have to go directly into editing the xml file. The only work around.

[kezkez4]

@knucklessg1 i had the same problem, i think it may be a eclipse plug'in thats needed. as an alternate try working through the main.xml view tags and grouping them.

[Macche3se]

How do you make children in eclipse helios? please answer

[hurryuphurry]

At 35:38 ist where people cant find the +- thing, i have found an alternative, on the linear layout, right click and make sure both the Layout Width and Layout Height are ticked on Match Parent, you can then drag and drop the buttons and stuff under it which works just as well! Took me ages to figure out! Good Luck!

[Digby0907]

@hurryuphurry That did not work for me... I think the best way is to use the xml to fix it...nice try thought

[Yekolf]

I cant seem to get past the point around 01:14:11 , I always get 14 errors, half of them say "Button cannot be resolved to a type" and the other half "Textview cannot be resolved to a type" . Does anyone else get the same problem or have a fix?

Please help :)

[Yekolf]

@Yekolf DW Solved it, just pressed "Ctrl + Shift + O" which updates imports

[Dcdatruth85]

I want one of you skilled developers to skip Samsung all together and get the updates for my epic. Or i could just learn how to develope and make the sprint world happy. I want to learn.

[johnnieares93]

Thank you so much!!

[TellurideSkiRuns]

why does it seem like everybody that has a mac programs for android?

[gustavoindustry]

my eclipse don't have the blue arrow like yours on 0:35:19

how can y solve this? or move the buttons using another way?

[gustavoindustry]

ok i have eclipse java EE installed but one question HOW CAN I ADD SUPORT FOR PHP on eclipse? I want use the eclipse for java for android and for mi php websites development ..

[MichaelMay1983]

sounds a bit like arnold doing the presentation

[Cannabisvorous]

I'm stuck at 35:05, I have Eclipse Helios for Java, and I don't see those arrows that he clicks to make the new buttons children of the new LinearLayout

[zmajzigaga]

@Cannabisvorous same problem here im using eclipse classic 3.6.1

[gustavoindustry]

@Cannabisvorous

yep for me too you need use the XML view Go to XML and put te buttons inside of >>> /LinearLayout>

[hurryuphurry]

@Cannabisvorous I have the exact same problem!

[xwowsersx]

I can't seem to access 192.168.1.180. how can I access?

[berkoproductions]

@xwowsersx it was only to ppl on hte same wifi as him.

[donzaliko]

hello world in 2 hours xD

[r0o0b0i0n]

Truly valuable video!

[DeLL116]

ccckkhow many of you have done the ccckkhomework?

[izidor84]

This video was much more helpful than the development guide on the main website. Thanks for the great work.

[ashish0yadav]

Good video

[mcstarGmail]

Information is great, but the sound is terrible. Starts off low, then gets even lower as he goes on. Who was the sound engineer on this?

[oOZz35]

This tutorial was awsome. I wish i was attended this Meetup. This guys so lucky. But i culdn't find the source code of the "golfcaddy" APP. It's different to the other golfscore app. If anyone have this source code please share me or send me.

[prometheus013081]

Thanks for doing this tutorial. I found it very helpful.

[ert69]

Very informative tutorial... but I get some errors with the Button buttonMinus etc...

[CardMagician10]

@ert69 I get the same problem?! Wierd

[ert69]

@CardMagician10 I somehow fixed that with the lightbulbs on the left side.. but now I cant get past the "case R.id.buttonOK;" and all that stuff...

[Yekolf]

@ert69

Yeah the R.idbuttonOk: stuff is just not working for me, it's typed word for word but it insists its a bug. asking me to make a new constant or naming it ButtonOk instead of buttonOk, which I know isn't the right fix.

If anyone has figuredout thisproblem it would be greatly appreciated if you could reply, thanks!

[atarikguney]

This video is one of the greatest video which shows me how to develop android applications properly. I read a lot of stuff but none of the was as effective as this one.

[atarikguney]

Thanks.

[RiSeUpGuYz]

[bonez05]

Great stuff! Thanks.

[ggitbhu]

From where can I get all samples you have? I s there any link where I can get all the demos he showed in workspace?

[uselessmayhem]

do you take recommendations? I want to see someone make a simple program, but I dont know anyone, personally, who can show me while they do it. Do you think you can do a tutorial? I just want to see an app open up to an image > main screen with image with one button that makes one noise when clicked down, and another sound when you let it go. How difficult is that? I appreciate your tutorials, you're very good at it. Not to mention i dig the golf caddy ;) being a pro myself. let me know!

[sripavan11]

I am unable to install the gdata java client libraries on eclipse...please help me..my prjct is due in 3 days!!..please..

[josy4heaven]

hi, when i click on my main class, it doesnt show me the application screen as it does in ur video, wondering what im not doing well, cos its opening it as a code rather than the screen where i can click and drag buttons. PLEASE HELP!!!

[mvdproductions1]

@josy4heaven

This is happening for me as well... I really like that view, and I am not the best coder, so how do you go about opening the main.xml in that view rather than the code view?I only have Design and Source view, and neither of them are the right ones.

[josy4heaven]

hi, when i click on my main class, it doesnt show me the application screen as it does in ur video, wondering what im not doing well, cos its opening it as a code rather than the screen where i can click and drag buttons. PLEASE HELP!!!

[mitchab]

@123 ...

you must be highlighting main.xml and clicking 'run' ... try clicking on your main project folder then clicking 'Run'.

[12312312312312312498]

PLEASE HELP SOME ONE... for the issue bellow.

[12312312312312312498]

I followed ever step and I was done creating my app it gave me two error messages, with a little red x on the main.out.xml

followed by this in the console tab:

[2010-09-24 22:44:33 - activity] Error in an XML file: aborting build.

[2010-09-24 22:44:33 - activity] res\layout\main.xml:0: error: Resource entry main is already defined.

[2010-09-24 22:44:33 - activity] res\layout\main.out.xml:0: Originally defined here.

[retromelon123]

absolutely brilliant tutorial...

i'm pretty much a novice of programming...

(a few basic programs in realbasic... but i don't think that counts)...

and i found this very easy to understand...

i have tried to understand a few other tutorials on youtube but they do not explain why they are doing what they do... or what the code actually means...

you have done an excellent job at this... and i now understand A LOT more...

thankyou....

[eli3143]

i works with the latest android versions?

[lickachair4fun]

I watched all 2 hours. Thanks

[jedenzemenemsow]

i can't see the properties box (the one on the ride top corner) on my eclipse there, how can i switch it on??

[jedenzemenemsow]

hi, my eclipse doesn't show the properties or layout windows that you have on the right side (up and bottom respectively), how can i enable them??

[sinkingshriek]

Thank you soo much for posting this. I searched the whole internet for a good tutorial, nothing beats this. Amazing work, Marko Gargenta.
