Hello Android (Android Hello World Tutorial) 1.1

[danieladamko]

It works! But there should be an easier way to design!!!

[SnoweyMan111]

@danieladamko This is a really easy way to design.

[Ferrari353]

We followed the directions and it gives an error. It says something along the lines of "your project contains errors. Please fix them before running the application." but eclipse isnt showing any errors in the program. What might the problem be?

[StateCCM]

You confused the hell out of me... I thought this was a hello world app... not a "click to update the time" app...

I was pulling my hair out for a good half hour...

[TCKDevelopment]

@StateCCM LOL

[amcadam26]

It'd be really useful if you could say why you're doing things like importing things and why you need to put a company name in the project setup.

If you don't have enough time then you should break the tutorial down into easier chunks rather trying to do too much.

[Eerieborei]

thanks :D

[ihavethelastusername]

Does android have its own set of libraries? and if it does then does that mean that system.print.out or whatever is not part of its libraries and wouldnt work to display hell world on an android device?

[LaureG9]

What could be a problem if when I run a program as android application I get only big black window with "android" written in the center?

[godofrock7412]

@TCKDevelopment I named my project HelloMatteo and when I try to run it an error pops up and says "Could not find HelloMatteo.apk" what does this mean and how do I fix it?

[x2deemable]

Great tutorial... But slow the f* down man... You're always 5 steps ahead of me.

[pufixas]

I CANT FRIGGIN' FIND C++ ANDROID NDK TUTORIAL ANYWHERE!!!

[OfficialNeilnet]

@pufixas I don't think C++ is the language to make an android app.

[pufixas]

@OfficialNeilnet

It is... You can use C++ and NDK nativity with Android... But its not that popular and I can't find tutorials ANYWHERE...

[hakermik]

i like this . i make my first aplication, but i want one forum/site for noobies with simple aplication ...



[MightyExseven]

You are my hero.

[Degotelo]

is the same thing if I target android 3.0

[Computerwizgeek920]

you can also resolve t by adding a coment and saving

[jaxxrr]

i compiled the app without errors but it wont start

when i run the first time the android emu starts up and takes a while to load then i only get the main menu

when i try to run the second time it says ERROR: the user data image is used by another emulator. aborting

[lostintheapplasauce]

didnt giveme the location but otherwise great!

[getalifein]

Many many thanks for the videos. Any video for setting up the database and building any data driven applications?

[e10byagrue]

Thank you for the video! The one thing I would ask for in this video is more explanation as to what the code means. Things got a little clouded and confusing at times. (Then again I am a python developer just coming over to android and beginning to learn java, and I got a bit of education for free which is always awesome. :] ). Once again, though: Thanks!

[saaed123]

great toturial :) I have a problem I hope u can help me with: I have windows 7 64bit, and when I run the android emulator,it spreads from the top of the screen to the bottom and the bottom side of the emulator just hides behind the start line, so what should i do to see the emulator in a regular window like in ur toturia?

[hihaatje]

nice tutorial :) shame there arent more on youtube, i realy want to make apps for android :)

[Syford]

this is cool! I know nothing about code and java programing, but I made this app with your tutorial! I'm a fan! I tried to do this at the android.com developer's page but was not successful there for whatever reason. Thanks!

[brianazia]

nice video .....

You website is not working

[mrconcept]

Amazing tut and my first one, thanks for the upload. Looking forward to more.

[fanofsongs]

Thanks alot man, it worked for me really well.

[TheRealBKZ]

this is taken from the apress book:beginning Android

[noneofyourbuisness7]

@tckdevelopment why is it every time i try deleting a project file it keeps coming back?

[Hildoz2]

The basic idea about a "Hello World" application is to print out "Hello World". That is not a Hello World application. ;P

[splinterz91]

hey i just have a question about the actual structure of the application files. in your tutorial u edited the .java file however in other tutorials ive seem ppl edit the .xml file in the layout. now at first glance i would assume that the xml file is the look and layout since it is in the layout folder. but then my question is how are the 2 connected in the file structure OR do they have the same purpose with different ways of implementing them?

[TCKDevelopment]

@splinterz91 Xml would tell the button what size to be, shape, color. Java would tell it what to do (For,click,Do). I hope this makes sense. Thanks

[onlivegamer]

Thanks for the tutorial! You just got a new subscriber. It would help a lot more if you actually explained the code as you were typing it.

[TCKDevelopment]

@onlivegamer Way to much time. There is usually a full text version explaining everything at the website in the description. Thanks

[vigodagod]

Thanks for the tutorial.

[TCKDevelopment]

@jennifersexable Your linking-compiling against android-java frameworks and classes that are essential to run the app. Try compiling without them.

[alexexc2]

Gracias por todo TCKD..... eres un master... saludos a la banda

[alexexc2]

hello thank you with the video.. but when I Run the project the Screen of My Virtual Android only show this text: "ANDROID_" and all is black.... do you know why?

helpmeeeeeeee

[TCKDevelopment]

@alexexc2 Did you wait for the simulator to turn on fully? It displays "Android" when booting.

[alexexc2]

@TCKDevelopment hello there!!!!! Yes I wait like 10 minutos and nothing happens...... I'am Using Galileo and I Downloaded froyo 2.2 in windows XP ..... Android does not appears like the video... only with "ANDROID_"... can you helpme??????

[TCKDevelopment]

@alexexc2 It could be a few things. Watch my setting up eclipse vid and see if that gets it. If not PM me.

[alexexc2]

@TCKDevelopment Hello !!! I wait about 25 minuts and the android enviroment started.... but I think that is tooo much time to run de android, isnt it? how long time your android start... Do you think that is a wrong configuration of my VM ??????

[Mr13p]

Thx for the video really helpful but could be better with subtitles

[TCKDevelopment]

@Mr13p Google offers many vids of the same nature complete with subtitles.

[gamerhansen]

Im new in this. And your videos are just very useful. Please keep making these android tutorials! 

[TannerKilgore1]

@gamerhansen The first time can take some time... Usually not 20 min but it depends on the computer. My mac pro runs it in under 3 min.

[alexexc2]

@TannerKilgore1 thank you for the help... I thinnk my computer is the problem..... I have 1.6GHZ Intel Atom and 1 GB RAM..... maybe is for that... well... thanks.... you help meeee

[TCKDevelopment]

@alexexc2 I didnt realize I was signed in on my other channel. That is defiantly going to be a stretch to get running for android.
