Google I/O 2010 - A beginner's guide to Android

[tlmcqu80]

get the fundamentals first.... understand API's, packages, etc... in a programming class... then come here... make a couple of simple hello word apps first... then come here... the things he's explaining, you must have some understanding of Android programming... android.com

[Appfyr]

How should i come up using "undocumented Apis". If they arent documented i wouldnt even know how to use them :P

[powerhousephg]

@Appfyr what does that have to do with anything? i'm a developer, and i don't know everything, about everything. if you have to read a book before understanding a "beginner's guide", that would make the guide intermediate.

[Appfyr]

@powerhousephg If your just started with android, its not that important to understand every little facette of this video. I also assume you dont understand the few classes he does mention but it doesent matter. The basic concepts and models he explains are important.

[powerhousephg]

jesus christ. ever "beginner" android video "assumes that we already know android". how do u go from a beginner video to developing apps? #thx4nothing

[Appfyr]

@powerhousephg Well, google io is mainly a developer conference. So what you expceted?

[dennisisawesome]

anyone know a good place to start with this stuff as far as tutorials in programming, not just search box results but personal exp with something that helped them get started in java?

[Jessekin32]

IdeaRRRRRR only complaint i had about this video. And I had to say it D:

Other than that VERY informative video. Thank you so much.

@8:14: "In reality, you have between 1 and 200 milliseconds before your users are going to start thinking that your application is laggy"

Wow - those users must be really impatient if they get annoyed with 1 ms. iOS often makes me wait upwards of 10 seconds. I do notice Android runs much faster for me, but I think 20 ms should be ok. I'm sure many OSs even have a small delay to detect double-clicking.

really nice video ! :)

[lenix016]

Is he using CM? o.O

[Shiraldi]

google i/o presentation and you can see that they used a mac ....

[ToMfromTO]

@Shiraldi and what should they be using ? ..Nexus One for presentation ? :D

[tdelazzari]

Thanks for the video :)

[trdracer21]

[BloodsplatterBE]

@trdracer21 Check out Doubletwist (for android and pc+mac) for iTunes like capability

[krophiquon]

not really a beginner's guide. It seems like it's more "tips for good programming" for novice android developers.  Was hoping for more info about actually 'Beginning' android development, ie: setting up the environment and working within the IDE to create a first application.

[xasdrubalex]

@krophiquon download eclipse, install ADV plugin via eclipse, download the sdk version you're planing to use, google for a hello world example or the more complex notepad example and you're done.

it takes less than read this post.

[bainelaker]

@krophiquon check out developer.android.com, they'll get you started with setting up your path, installing Android SDK into Eclipse, and some basic apps.

[ehm56]

@krophiquon actually it is a beginners guide, cause to beginn programming apps for android u should already be able to do some programming in java...

[Alex13N]

@krophiquon Considering the people in that keynote flew from all over the world and paid to get in I assume they werent newbies who hadn't done a hello world app.. their priorities were probably different

[discy12345]

@krophiquon you don't really need a "setting up environment and working within the IDE"-guide with the outstanding documentation available in the android developers guide. developer.android.com/sdk/inst­alling.html

[Cristhecrusader]

17:26 it says "be able Tuesday their phones" in the subtitles, it should be "be able to use their phones".

But other than that great video.

[pctantrums]

[susramrahul]
